A boy who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Hope lived an ordinary life with his loving parents in Cocoon, the floating continent ruled by servants of the gods; beings known as the fal'Cie.

From that moment on, Hope's life would never return to normalcy.

Hope lived an ordinary life with his loving parents in Cocoon, the floating continent ruled by servants of the gods; beings known as the fal'Cie. Apart from the rebellious attitude toward his father expected of a sensitive adolescent, his life was free of trouble. However, all that changed when he and his mother went on a trip to the seaside town of Bodhum and encountered the turmoil caused by the appearance of a creature from "Pulse." From that moment on, Hope's life would never return to normalcy.

5★

A boy who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. While Hope was on a trip with his mother in the seaside town of Bodhum, the military found the mysterious "Vestige," prompting the immediate banishment of everyone in the area. Hope then witnessed his mother's death amidst the turmoil, and blamed the young leader of the civilian forces, Snow, for its occurrence. Swearing revenge upon Snow, Hope headed toward the Vestige, where he was eventually cursed as a "l'Cie."
