Aria Ikeuchi

"*I am Omega, but you need more. Everyone wants something, and they all come to me. People call me chairwoman, boss, queen, but it doesn’t matter. Omega has no titled ruler, and only one rule. Don’t fuck with Aria.*"
—Aria Ikeuchi

**Aria Ikeuchi** (池内 アリア) is the *de facto* ruler of Omega, the underworld capital of Japan. Also known as the "Pirate Queen" of Omega, Aria is fiercely possessive of the city as she will do anything to protect it, and maintain her dominance.

## Appearance

Aria is a young adult woman with a well-endowed voluptuous body and long brown hair that is tied in a ponytail with golden eyes. Aria is mostly seen with a serious expression on her face, though it does change into a smile on occasion. Her outfit consists of a formal black shirt, navy blue business overcoat, matching dress pants, and high heeled shoes made of steel.

## Personality

Aria is shrewd, while simultaneously unwavering and iron-fisted. However, she has a nasty temper if anyone dares to mess Omega. Due to her steadfast convictions, Aria possesses a natural charisma and ability to lead others, but she is arrogant. Aria is shown to be pragmatic and persistent, willing to cast aside pride and using whatever means necessary in order to secure victory, even if it threatens her life.

While very harsh and not very willing to tolerate failures, she does care a great deal for her people in Omega. Aria is protective of them (in her own hidden ways) as they are to her.

## Relationships

**Raiden Hataru**: They share a professional yet cordial relationship with one another. When Raiden first arrived on Omega, Aria had him scanned to ensure he posed no threat. However, throughout their mutually warm talks, and of Raiden doing some extra work for her like uncovering a conspiracy by some of the gang bosses, Aria decided to give Raiden a personal reward: free reign and access to Omega so long as he doesn't report to Chifuyu. Raiden agrees to those terms, not wanting any trouble to be drawn to the Pirate Queen.

**Chifuyu Orimura**: Both Aria and Chifuyu share similar personalities, but they despise one another due to being different sides of the law. Though Aria does not let this hatred get the best of her, it still annoys her of the fact that the Brunhilde interferes at times with her work.

## Infinite Stratos & Abilities

Trained in the art of Taekkyeon and Hapkido, she relies on using the attacker's energy against him and attacking his pressure points as well as using circular motions and quick strikes followed by a lethal finishing blow. Her weapons of choice are stainless steel Smith & Wesson Model 629, Skorpion vz 61, and Woldo.

Aria is supposedly skilled in piloting of her personal IS, but she rarely use it unless she really needs to. Asides from combat, her unwavering glare is intimidating.

Yet perhaps just as potent as her physical abilities are Aria's intellect and skillful business mind. Aria took down Patriarch and her foes she deceived and manipulated in the process. In approximately three months, Aria was able to transform Omega from a dying, hopeless pit of Japan into a powerful, lucrative paradise.

Aria has a businesslike mindset as she runs IS black market, and sex rackets. They are her primary source of income. Afterlife is her HQ that functions as a strip club and bar.

Aria's IS black market scheme is to hijack trucks, boats, airplanes that has IS related, and then sell it through IS pilots and companies. The drivers are either intimidated or paid off into keeping quiet.

Aria is polylingual in Korean, English, Japanese, Spanish, and Russian.

## History

Aria grew up in Sadang-dong, then one of the poorest towns in Seoul to a Japanese father and a Korean mother. They struggled to make ends meet, where they resort to criminal activities to live another day. Surrounded by crooks and harsh environment, Aria hung out with the wrong crowd upon seeing her parents doing the same. After graduating high school, Aria wandered to Omega the underworld city with nothing but clothes on her back. Itching to get easy money, Aria committed robbery and shooting with her pals. Eventually, it got too dangerous to the point Aria was backstabbed, caused by greed from her pals.

Shortly afterwards, Aria began to work as a stripper, and she worked her way to catch the attention of Patriarch, the ruler of Omega. Aria earned his trust by protecting his turfs and finding ways to increase money. Patriarch appointed Aria as his personal enforcer to crush down oppositions against him. Behind his back, Aria formed alliances and consolidated power while she systematically dismantled his operations and take them over herself, all the while building a new syndicate of her own. Aria damaged Patriarch's operations by hitting him where it hurts the most, seizing his rackets and eliminating key officers. Once everything fell apart, Patriarch was drawn out, giving Aria the opportunity to fight him for ownership of Omega. Though nearly defeated, Aria came triumphant, sparing Patriarch as an example of her power to others, and she became the new ruler. In time, she expanded Omega from a simple back alley into an underground metropolis, the first underground city that had only one rule: Don't fuck with Aria.
