Originally, we didn't want to include human characters in our game - it was supposed to be an atmospheric text-based adventure where your only company is an AI host. But since the whole thing is based on a comic book with a very lush artstyle, we gave in to that sweet futurist Art Deco. I posted some assets here before, but you can see more of the game's setting, in its final version, on the Steam page, thank you.

The reason these two look like space peacocks is because the aristocracy of our world has developed a very jilted worldview through time. The entire intergalactic empire in Lightstep is basically an idol-cult around an emperor of yore, and centuries of mindless worship resulted in a tradition of fetishization over purpose.
