Eve will join forces with Adam, a survivor born on Earth, and Lily, an engineer sent to Earth to fight the Naytiba.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You venture from Zion, the last human city, to various semi-open-world areas where you can acquire equipment, unlock skills, fight Naytiba, and collect Hypercells; the energy source that sustains Zion.

For Stellar Blade\u2019s protagonist Eve, he said he wanted to express his personal style of design that he has developed over the years, while also making sure not to stray too far from the game\u2019s setting. He added that his intention with Eve\u2019s design was to make her stand out against the post-apocalyptic world, creating a sense of contrast (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/202402\/05333518.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eve\u2019s appearance is characterized by soft facial features, and a slender but shapely figure. Her sexy physique definitely makes her look \u201cout of this world\u201d against the post-apocalyptic backdrop, which is very typical of a Hyung-Tae Kim design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Kim has mentioned that Eve\u2019s body was created based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/love_zennyrt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jae-Eun Shin<\/a>, a real-life Korean influencer. The rumor had been out for some time, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2024\/02\/stellar-blades-protagonists-body-is-based-on-this-real-world-korean-model\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Push Square<\/a> recently confirmed the facts with Kim. He explained that the team&#8217;s pursuit to \u201ccome up with the most attractive looking body for the user\u201d led them to work with Shin. Eva\u2019s body was created by scanning Shin&#8217;s body, but her face was designed from scratch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/zennyrt\/status\/1692506546717225389?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\uc7ac\ub2c8 \ube44\ubc00 \ud504\ub85c\uc81d\ud2b8\u2665\" width=\"1160\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bQdu5Y7TXSg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jae-Eun Shin is a South Korean model born in 1991.

She has made appearances in video game advertisements and music videos in Korea, and seems to be well-known for her sexy figure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She posted a video (shown above) on YouTube in May 2020 which shows her whole body being 3D scanned.
