NiGHTS is a video game character from the games Nights into Dreams and
Nights: Journey of Dreams, developed and published by Sega. Nights is
a "Nightmaren" who resides in Nightopia, a dream world where the
dreams of all human beings are acted out every night.Naoto Ohshima was
the original Nights creator and designer, while Kazuyuki Hoshino was
the character designer for the video game Nights into Dreams. The
character design incorporated Japanese, European, and American
stylistics in order to give Nights as universal an appeal as possible.
In the context of the games, Nights is a part of every human's
subconscious, and so was purposely designed to be neither male nor
female. By the time of the sequel, Nights: Journey of Dreams, Ohshima
had left Sega, and Kazuyuki Hoshino was placed in charge of character
design for the game. Takashi Iizuka, the lead game designer, felt
that, with Hoshino, they captured the style used for the character in
the original game.Nights' personality is described by Iizuka as "a
mirror of the child's personality." Nights' speaking role in Journey
of Dreams was performed by Julissa Aguirre, who gave the character a
British-English accent to suit the style of the game. In addition,
Nights was made genderless, leaving the impression of the character
"totally up to the player", according to Iizuka.Nights wears a purple
jester-style hat and outfit, with a diamond-shaped, red jewel on the
chest. In the miniseries published by Archie Comics, this was said to
be a piece of a red Ideya (the personality orb which contains courage)
that broke off and latched onto the character's chest.
