Seymour is a playable character in Ananta, an upcoming free-to-play urban open-world role-playing video game developed by Naked Rain and NetEase. He serves as a hacker and technology specialist for the Anti-Chaos Directorate (ACD), operating from his mobile RV headquarters and using advanced gadgets and tracking abilities to hunt down targets across Nova City.

Character Overview

Seymour is described as "one of the more interesting characters in Ananta," notable for his mysterious appearance and exceptional technical abilities. He hides his face behind a bizarre mask and has a genius-level ability to track down anyone he wants, as long as he has a signal. This combination of anonymity and technological prowess makes him a unique asset to the ACD team.

Operating from his high-tech RV, Seymour represents the tech-savvy side of the ACD team, providing crucial intelligence and tracking support for the organization's operations. His mobile headquarters allows him to remain unpredictable and flexible, moving throughout Nova City as needed while maintaining his advanced surveillance and hacking capabilities.

Appearance and Identity

Seymour's most distinctive feature is the bizarre mask he wears to conceal his identity. Sources note that "he doesn't appreciate any questions about his mask," suggesting that his hidden identity is a sensitive topic and potentially crucial to his character. This air of mystery adds an intriguing element to his personality and leaves players curious about his true appearance and the reasons for his concealment.

Personality and Approach

Despite his technical expertise, Seymour is highly selective about which cases he pursues. He "only pursues targets he deems 'worth his time' or those who've done something truly horrible." This selective approach adds a layer of moral complexity to his character, distinguishing him from a typical tech support role. If someone wants to catch Seymour's attention, they need to do something "headline-worthy."

This discriminating nature suggests that Seymour operates according to his own code of ethics, choosing to focus his considerable talents on cases that meet his personal standards of importance. He doesn't start pursuing targets unless he assumes they're worth his time or have committed particularly heinous acts.

Seymour spends most of his time in his RV, "tinkering with his gadgets and keeping an eye on the world." This lifestyle reflects his preference for observation and strategic planning over direct confrontation, making him an invaluable intelligence asset for the ACD.

Gameplay and Combat Style

Seymour brings a completely different flavor to the ACD roster with his tech-savvy approach and calculated methodology. His gameplay emphasizes strategic planning over brute force, making him perfect for players who prefer outsmarting opponents rather than overpowering them.

His unique mechanics and abilities include:

• Advanced tracking abilities to locate targets across Nova City
• Drone deployment and control
• High-tech gadgets for various situations
• Intelligence gathering and surveillance capabilities

Operating from his high-tech RV headquarters, Seymour utilizes these tools to provide strategic advantages during missions, whether through reconnaissance, target identification, or technological interference with enemy systems.

Role in the Anti-Chaos Directorate

As part of the Anti-Chaos Directorate, Seymour serves as the team's primary technology expert and intelligence specialist. While other ACD members may focus on direct combat and field operations, Seymour's role emphasizes information gathering, target tracking, and technological support.

The ACD operates as a found family of misfits who happen to be incredibly good at their jobs rather than following a typical military structure. Within this dynamic, Seymour's technical expertise and selective approach to missions provide a complementary balance to the more action-oriented members like Richie and the leadership of Captain.

Development and Reveal

Seymour was officially revealed as one of the four main heroes when the Ananta website received a major update on September 23, 2025. The announcement described him as "a brand-new hacker with a drone," introducing him as a fresh addition to the game's playable roster alongside Captain, Taffy, and Richie.

Prior to this official website update, information about Seymour was limited, making his September 2025 reveal a significant moment for fans anticipating the game's release. On September 22, 2025, the ANANTA Network social media account announced "New Male Character: SEYMOUR," building anticipation for his formal introduction.

Launch Availability

Seymour is confirmed as one of four playable characters available at the game's launch. Unlike traditional gacha games, Ananta will not feature a character gacha system, meaning all playable characters including Seymour will be obtainable for free and unlocked as players progress through the story.

This design philosophy ensures that players will have access to Seymour's unique technological abilities and strategic gameplay style without the need for random chance mechanics, supporting the game's emphasis on player freedom and choice.
