Fang shows of a Kuranta's natural dominance in battle by always holding the most advantageous position at the critical moment. To strike a balance between power and control, Fang prefer to use a spear, which she applies with versatility in any situation. Fang acts impulsively and springs into action before others even finish talking.

Immigrants from many nations came to the outskirts of Columbia. Fang, Kroos, and Beagle all met there after moving from their respective homelands. After realizing their common goals, they joined the city guard and underwent basic training together. The humorless Fang, the gentle Beagle, and the laid-back Kroos possess wildly different personalities yet rely on one another for support.

Before an election day, a Catastrophe struck the outskirts of Columbia. In their efforts to aid others in escaping, all three Operators were infected with Oripathy. Fang suffered discrimination due to her condition and fell into deep despair. Kroos rallied the three of them and together they went to Rhodes Island.

Archive File 4
After arriving at Rhodes Island, Fang and her two companions as well as Hibiscus and Lava were all trained by Dobermann. The training was extraordinarily intense, and Kroos and Hibiscus seized every opportunity they could to goof off. Even Fang as their captain couldn't do anything to control them. Currently, Fang is training herself to be as intense and strict as her teacher, Dobermann. However, if the giddy expression on her face as she eats fruit is any indication, she's got a long way to go.
Op Reserve A1

The **Rhodes Island Operations Reserve Team A1** or simply **Op Reserve A1** is a branch of Rhodes Island and one of the six known operational reserve fireteams of R.I.'s paramilitary force, made up of three teenagers who once served the Columbian police institution and two sisters arriving to treat the elder one's Oripathy.

## Background

Main article: A1 Operations Preparation Detachment
At some point in the future, it is implied that Op Reserve A1 has been disbanded after several tragedies happened to their members in Bolívar and Rim Billiton, presumably the "death" or injury of Beagle and Fang.

Dropper

Droppers are kinds of static parts of levels in Enigmo games.

Droppers generates droplets over time. Each kind of droplet corresponds with a certain dropper.

Note that droppers themselves can also interact with droplets physically.

## In Enigmo/Enigmo Deluxe

There're three types of droppers generating water, lava and oil.

Water droppers always work, while lava droppers and oil droppers are **always** triggered by corresponding switches (unlike Enigmo 2).

In custom editing, all the droppers can't be rotated. They are kept straight down.

All of those droppers can bounce droplets off at a low restitution.

## In Enigmo 2

In Enigmo 2, three droppers turn into water, plasma, and laser, where the laser is not a typical dropper. If there are no corresponding switches in the level, all the droppers will work automatically. Otherwise, they won't work until be triggered by switches. Notice that water droppers can also be toggled by the water switch now.

In the level editor, both plasma droppers and laser emitters have 6 degrees of freedom, which means they can be freely rotated, while water droppers can only be rotated in the yaw dimension and kept vertically down.

Water droppers and plasma droppers can rebound water droplets and plasma particles as well as reflect laser beams. However, laser emitters absorb lasers and are not effective at rebounding drops and particles. By default, laser guns are oriented upwards while water droppers and plasma droppers are oriented downwards.

## Trivia

* In consideration of performance, all droppers will stop working if the number of droplets and particles reaches the limitation.
	+ This doesn't effect laser emitters since laser beams are not counted as typical "droplets".

She may not realize it, but Angelina has a special knack for Arts! She can change how much an object weighs. I think if she gets the proper training, she could be amazing one day!

Having only just recently become a transporter, Angelina is full of hope for the future, much like other high schoolers. She spends much of her time studying or dressing up.
She likes dainty jewelry and young adult novels, and hides a secret love for older music. She could enjoy an ordinary, happy life.

When Rhodes Island sought her out, she was gliding between skyscrapers in the middle of a dark night.

The world is unfair.
After she suffering her infection, Angelina quietly faded from her old life.
She didn't linger or say her goodbyes. She just silently left her family, friends, and beloved hometown behind.
Yet she had not resigned herself to the typical fate of an Infected.
Every night, she ran, jumped, glided between buildings, practiced her Arts, and smuggled goods from one place to another.
As a courier, an Infected, or just a normal high-schooler, Angelina works hard, no matter what the future may look like.

Before she came to Rhodes Island and met the Doctor, Angelina kept these secrets hidden away in her heart.
It wasn't until Rhodes Island found her that she knew there was another life for the Infected. She is now a Rhodes Island Operator, and she may be able to go back to school.
Probably.
Where will the path Angelina has chosen take her?
Even she can't imagine.
Race/Alien

The following races are **alien** (i.e. not native) to Terra.

* Earthling

## Spirits

In the world of *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*, **Spirits** or **Elfins** (not to be confused with the Terran Elves) are basically natural spirits resembling to our world's *yaoguai* or *yōkai*. They master supernatural powers that are not related to Originium Arts and could transform into many forms including becoming a human. Upon reaching a certain level, they could even evolve into a deified being.

Ah Gen is technically half-human and half-Spirit known as **Xuanli**.

## Lynians

Main articles: w:c:monsterhunter:Lynian and Lynian (Monster Hunter Wiki)
In the world of *Monster Hunter*, **Lynians** are short, intelligent creatures with mammalian features that are capable of comprehending human knowledge. There are only two subspecies, both ape-like or cat-like, with the latter being more peaceful to coexist with the humans in the *MonHun* world.

## Miscellaneous

The following are non-human creatures (animals, plants, monsters, etc.) alien to Terra.

*Etiquette in spoken language and vileness of personality have little to do with each other.*

## Story

**Gladiia** hails from a problematic family in which she faces various issues within, especially from her mother's. But despite the turmoil, she was able to become a high-ranking consul of Aegir's Honor Exercitus. She even volunteered to become a leader of the Abyssal Hunters to defend her homeland against the encroaching Seaborn. To Gladiia, not more is better that filling her troubled mind with Aegir's hollow pride. Following the devastating battle against Ishar-mla and other Leviathans, Gladiia arrived at the shore and embarked on a search for the surviving Hunters. She eventually encountered Kal'tsit who holds such information and secretly worked for her and Rhodes Island. After the Sal Viento incident where she baited out one of the leading bishop of the Church of the Deep, Gladiia officially joined R.I. as a representative of Aegir and the nominal leader of the Abyssal Hunters. She has since been providing her cooperation with R.I. such as the hunt for the lost *Stultifera Navis* in order to re-establish the land's connection with the ocean. Despite the grim future that awaits her, she vows to accomplish her duty, return to her homeland, and defeat the Seaborn while racing against her subjugation to We Many.

Living under the ocean for most of her lifetime, Gladiia dislikes the surface's arid biome and often suffers from dehydration. Her haughty manner towards the land-dwellers, a consequence of Aegir's isolationism, causes others to be reluctant in interacting with her. Nevertheless, Gladiia proves herself to be a capable combatant utilizing a giant lance combined with her superior physical capabilities as a true Abyssal Hunter.

Gladiia is the protagonist of Under Tides and Stultifera Navis.
Sargon/Branches

### Vouivre Alliance

The **Vouivre Alliance**, sometimes known as **Vouivre**, is an independent union of the namesake race who controlled the lands where they came from. The Alliance once revolted against the Sargonian lords who tried to annex the region. Although they received military support from the Rangers, the weak Alliance was overran by Sargon's imperial forces. Currently, the Alliance's territory is in a state of anarchy where violence and robberies break out everyday.

Liskarm and Vanilla were born in the territories controlled by the Vouivre Alliance.

### The Rangers

The **Rangers** were a guerrilla band that once roamed across the Sargonian deserts. Founded by some hot-blooded young warriors who wished to protect their hometowns, the Rangers slowly grew in size and started to become a threat to the Sargonian lords. Although most of the time, all they did were some daily chores like hunting and rebuilding villages, their stories became so exaggerated that they were feared by the Sargonian military and even some bandit tribes.

The Rangers also provided their military support to the Vouivre Alliance during their war with Sargon. However, ever since the successful annexation of Vouivre, the Rangers started to decline as Sargon decided to end its toleration on them. By the time of the Main Theme, they have been disbanded. However, their stories are still widespread and are admired by later generations.

Rangers is the only surviving member of the namesake group.

Khagan

## The Khaganate

The hordes of the **Khagan**, i.e., the "**Khaganate** (**ᠬᠠᠭᠠᠨᠲᠤ ᠤᠯᠤᠰ**)," is a Terran faction/"nation" that has ceased to exist by the time of the Main Theme. It was a powerful nomadic empire of Nightzmoran Kurantas led by its namesake that once pillaged the entire Terra.

## Background

The origin of the Khagan could be traced back to a young warrior who accomplished his "Khaganquest," a coming-of-age tradition among some Nightzmoras, a thousand years ago. Starting from the steppes in eastern Ursus, the Khagan led his Kheshigs for a grand conquest across Terra. They almost toppled the Elderly Pegasian rulers of Kazimierz, defeated the Hippogryphs of proto-Ursus leading to the uprising of the Ursi, and destroyed numerous garrison cities of Gaul and Leithanien. Along their ways, they struck terror onto the nations of Terra using their brutal tactics and the Nightzmora's illusory Arts, leaving an unforgettable memory among them until present days. The Khagan's worldwide pillage seems to have left a deep impact on the whole world, marking the dawn of a common era that "burned away the previous epoch." Indeed, the current dating system used on Terra even sets its beginning around the time of this string of conquest.

However, the Khagan's ambition did not stop at mere mortal kingdoms; he laid his eyes onto the untouched borders of the known world of Terra. The Khagan formed a military alliance with the king of Sargon and drove away the eldritch monsters together from the Foehn Hotlands of the south. A decade later, he started his conquest onto the frigid Northland; but this time, he suddenly vanished and no one knew his whereabout.

It is likely that the Nightzmoras suffered severe losses against the Northland demons, for they will never again achieve the same height of glory. Still, some Kurantas who can trace their origin to this ancient bloodline still survive until present days, one of which is Tola - the so-called "Last Kheshig."

## Branches

### Kheshigs

The **Kheshigs** (**ᠬᠡᠰᠢᠭᠲᠡᠨ**) are the royal guards of the Khaganate who acted as both his personal bodyguards and his military. Their numbers have dwindled over the years, however some of them still rose to prominence such as the famed Padishah of Reefsteep.

Courier's keen sense of the terrain and environment is entirely from years of experience. In fact, when he was a child, he was not only unfamiliar with the roads, but he would even get lost. The way he tells it, he once got snowbound when he went out to play and almost didn't make it home alive. Fortunately, SilverAsh was hunting nearby and found him, thus returning him to safety. Because of this, no matter who might try to convince or threaten him to turn his back on SilverAsh, Courier will forever be the man's most faithful supporter.

As a race living in the cold regions of the plateau, the Itra have extraordinary resilience and endurance. Courier is no exception. Still, he likes to keep a low profile. He does everything with skill and with ease, and never lets anyone sees the limits of his abilities. Even SilverAsh is unaware of just what this Itra is capable of.

Archive File 3
People enjoy having their letters delivered by Courier. Not only thanks to his attractive face and sunny disposition, but also because the letters he delivers have a faint fragrance about them. When the topic comes up, Courier will immediately change the subject. If pressed on it, he will hem and haw and his face will blush, a side of Courier very rarely seen.

Archive File 4
Courier rarely loses his signature faint smile, though it should be noted that he has another side——a calm, tranquil, and peaceful side characteristic of one from the snowlands. Only his enemies and his most trusted friends get the chance to see that side of him. If he loses his smile while talking to you, that can only mean one thing——he regards you as a dear friend.

Promotion Record
Most of the scars on Courier's body came from the people of Kjerag rather than beasts. After all, as an important man, SilverAsh has many enemies that want him dead. Courier always confronts these people in the dark. As for the fights with these rebels, only Courier's scars tell the tale——Courier himself says nary a word.
Nian/Story

Nian is a Yanese woman who went to Rhodes Island and decided to stay as a visitor there. However, she turns out to be one of the fragments of the ancient Yanese Feranmut Sui, ranking ninth among them, alongside Dusk and Ling. In order to prevent Yan from reviving the Feranmut who will bring havoc to Terra, she needs R.I.'s power to search for the lost siblings, reunite them, and kill their true form once and for all.

But despite her grand mission, her presence seems to be troublesome to other R.I. staff due to her playful, carefree attitude. Not only she frequently slacks off, but also, she will suddenly invite other busy personnel to play mahjong, have a chili hot pot feast, or, worst of all, film her beloved yet messy B-movies based on her past together with Lava. Even then, she will sometimes provide her aid in combat using her extraordinary metalworking skill that is more of a magic than Originium Arts. If she wants to, she can even create a legion of terracotta armies and unimaginable constructions.

Nian wrote a concept B-movie together with Lava, where she acted as the antagonist who transformed an *entire* nomadic city into a *kaiju*. She is also the deuteragonist of Who is Real and a supporting character in Invitation to Wine.

Class Conversion Record 1
According to the records, the saber wielded by the Sarkaz Lord Kollam was between 0.9 and 1.2 meters long, about 5 centimeters thick, made of an unknown material, black in color, and bore a traditional Sarkaz inscription, which read "here the fighting stops".
After succeeding to the throne, Kollam reorganized Kazdel and felt that time in the west had been unkind to the people, so he led some Sarkaz tribes to the east, at which point he vanished from history.
According to legend, Kollam had the power to rout his enemies without fighting. Some accounts say that Kollam's enemies suffered a weight several times that of their normal weapons when facing him in battle, finding themselves physically and mentally defeated. If they were lucky enough to survive, they were often maimed. But some referred to Kollam as an enlightened despot, saying that cuts from his blade drew no blood, and anyone wise enough to retreat would survive.
However, some ancient texts claim that Kollam's saber was destroyed in battle before he even succeeded to the throne, and that the weapon he later wielded was a fragile illusion born of his Arts. Such claims are inconsistent with Kollam's subsequent performance in Sarkaz conflicts, and few can explain why Kollam would not recast his favorite sword under those circumstances. I speculate that Kollam did have the power to shape weapons with Arts, and this theory is centered on the throne. But that Kollam rarely used his Arts in that way, having once been an adventurer.
Of course, it is written that after Kollam's ascension, his saber gave off a greenish light, like a breath of flame. Kollam's famous ferocity led to the blade being dubbed "Wrathful Cerulean Flame".
Most of the Sarkaz legends have been lost in the ongoing ruination of Kazdel, which has tremendously impeded historical research. There have been recent calls from Sarkaz scholars to restore their history, but their own research has been poisoned by propagandistic efforts to paint a noble picture of the Sarkaz race.

Rim Billiton

**Rim Billiton** is a country in the world of *Arknights*. It is an expansive mining company that actively exploits various Originium deposits around Terra and controls the territory south of Yan and Kazdel, which is administrated by a mega-corporation of the same name.

Rim Billiton's Originium mining activities cause much of their populace, the predominant Cautus race, to suffer from Oripathy. While the company does not overtly persecute the Infected in the same manner as Ursus or Victoria, Rim Billiton sees their citizens merely as disposable workforce. The Infected are still discriminated upon to some extent, regarded as outcasts and facing difficulties in finding work and medical care.

## Background

At some point, Rim Billiton went into conflict against Victoria during what was eventually termed the **"Cage Incident."** The cunning Victorian merchants manipulated and colonized the inhabitants of nomadic cities in two counties, leading them to mine more Originium ore and selling it to their own country. Infuriated over their exploitation, the local miners rebelled against the foreigners by tearing down the fences that encircled them. The aftermath resulted in the foundation of the Eureka Autonomous Prefecture — a Victorian-controlled enclave — and the merchants conceding their power over the cities back to Rim Billiton. Even so, foreign companies still continually attempt to cheat following the treaty and the Billitonians' national laws.

More recently, the nation has been experiencing a craze about planting carrots among its citizens. Such a trend is fueled by corporations and "experts" exaggerating carrots' nutritional values. If the situation remains uncontrolled, a steep inflation of carrot prices is all but certain, and the farmers would be unable to plant other crops as substitutes, likely leading to another crisis such as the "Cage Incident."

In Terran year 1084, Rim Billiton worked together with Babel, under Theresa's leadership to excavate the *Rhodes Island* landship, a Rim Billiton mining barge repurposed as Babel, and then, following from the fall of Babel, Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals' headquarters. As part of its contract with Babel, the Billitonians also provided security protection and cargo escort to Kazdel for two years.

## Locations

### Districts

* **Eureka Autonomous Prefecture**: Run by Victorian mining companies, it was founded in the aftermath of the Cage Incident in response to the demands made by foreign merchants. However, with the increasing dissatisfaction among the locals due to harsh treatment, there are high chances that Eureka will soon return under Rim Billiton's rule.

### Settlements

* **Steel Robot**: A city in Rim Billiton where April and Savage came from. It is known for being the annual top producer of ores among all cities. A mining accident occurred a few years ago, which later prompted Savage to join Rhodes Island.
* **Iron Fist**: Ansel's hometown

But she is a good girl, otherwise she wouldn't have blown up the vaults. Although she wasn't happy with it, she did the best she could. In addition, since her time at Rhodes Island, she has never neglected her duty.
If one day Rhodes Island disappoints her, she just might blow something up and leave. Hopefully, that day never comes.
Kamigawa

**Kamigawa**, also known as **Higashi**, the **Far East**, or simply **East**, is a Terran country located northeast of Yan, which the two enjoy strong diplomatic relations and cultural exchange with each other. Higashi is a diarchy led by the *shoguns* of two ruling *samurai* clans: the Kougon (光厳) and the Mitsumoto (光元).

Higashi is the homeland of all Oni, though a large number of Aegir also hail from there.

## Background

In the past, Higashi was ruled by a particularly influential *samurai* clan. Upon the death of said clan's *shogun*, however, a civil war broke out amongst the eight families that made up the clan, which ultimately split the land into the Northern and Southern Courts ruled by the Kougon and Mitsumoto respectively.

During the Bloodpeak Campaign, Ursus invaded Higashi which forced the Kougon and Mitsumoto to form an uneasy alliance to expel the invaders. The retaliation was a successful one that lead to Higashi managing to invade Ursus, leading to the decline of the empire. The conflict between both clans resumed after Ursus was driven out and lasted for another twenty years. Eventually, both sides grew weary and ended up making a truce that would unite Higashi under the clans' joint rule. In the era of peace, the North has turned into a military base ruled by stubborn conservatives while the South focuses more on commercial economy and trading. However, loyalties between members of both clans are notoriously fickle and defections to either side are a common sight.

In the modern era, Higashi's youth develop a vibrant culture where various video games, *manga* and *anime* enjoy widespread popularity across the country and elsewhere around Terra. Most of these are derived from the (actually real) Higashian urban legends and mythologies.

## Places

### Settlements

* Roka
* **Shin-Aki** (新安芸): A city that was rebuilt after being wrecked by a devastating Catastrophe. It is known for its ancient horror stories surrounding the mysterious Saeki (佐伯) district, which later inspired the video game *Nukenin*.

*She will fight to the end, for her dreams, and for you.*

## Story

A Victorian Kuranta of Kazimierzian ancestry who once served as a mounted policewoman, Grani is seen as an idealist and overachiever who helps others in need with no strings attached. She is more known for her chivalrous, gentle side and tenacity that inspires others to follow in her lead. Grani later became a contracted Operator for Rhodes Island and was ready to provide combat support with her "rifle pike." But funnily, one of her earliest missions turned out to be a chaotic treasure hunt where she had to allied with another treasure hunter to fight a colleague with an unimaginable strength... That's okay. We're still friends after all.

Grani is the protagonist of Grani and the Knights' Treasure.

Matoimaru is a magnificent warrior from the Far East.

She is simpleminded and prone to deception. She does catch on, but a new trick will fool her again.

Her hobbies, at which she excels, are sparring, soccer, and floral arrangement. She has been known to organize events around these subjects, though her idea of organization is typically dragging people kicking and screaming into it.

Archive File 2
The Oni are still a mystery to most people. Aside from living in the Far East, there seems to be little in common among the race.

However, Matoimaru is yet even more different from other Oni: Her bloodlust makes her performance on the battlefield strikingly unique, though it seems she's not aware of this fact.

Archive File 3
Many Operators think Matoimaru is crude and unrefined, but they are mistaken.

They just need to check out her floral arrangements, on display every Saturday at 3pm.

The beauty she can create is positively astonishing.

Archive File 4
Matoimaru is obviously self-conscious about her flaws: She is not good at controlling her strength or at critical thinking.

She took up floral arrangement to refine herself and to show the others they don't need to fear her.

Despite this, she's remains quite gullible. At least she has learned to question the idea that she must be a great thinker in order to survive.

As far as she is concerned, her ideal companion would be someone who won't deceive or betray her, and will stay with her and guide her. How wonderful that would be...
Karlan Trade

**Karlan Trade Co., Ltd.** (**K.T.**), alternatively **Karlan Commercial**, is a faction in *Arknights*. It is Kjerag's national trading company that is named after Mount Karlan, the sacred mountain of Kjerag.

## Background

The Karlan Trade was founded by Enciodes, the current patriarch of the Silverashes, following his return to Kjerag seven years ago (year 1090) after staying aboard in Victoria for more than twenty years. With the aid of Ratatos, the matriarch of the Browntails, Enciodes was able to persuade the Great Elder into opening up the country through his company. As part of his plan to reform and modernize the country, KT acts as the only bridge between Kjerag and the outside world, mainly participating in economic activities and technological trade. KT was also used as a bargaining chip to help restore the Silverashes’ name in the Tri-Clan Council by allowing the conservative Paleroches and Browntails to engage in their activities.

Despite the economic and technological benefits of foreign trade, not everyone is happy with KT's presence, especially to the Paleroches. KT was accused of breaching the territories of the ruling families through its expanding factories under the supervision of its second-in-command, Gnosis Edelweiss. To make the matter worse, KT had been conducting mining activities and railroad construction beneath the foot of the sacred Mount Karlan, angering the conservative faction. Gnosis then had a clash with the investigation team sent by the conservatives. Even though Enciodes responded by firing him, the conservatives insisted that Enciodes hand over the administrative rights to his factories and mines. In response, Enciodes decided to turn the rights over to the Karlan Saintess, whom he believes to be the only rightful one to own such power according to the Kjeragian sacred script. Despite the fact that the current Saintess was his estranged sister, Enya Silverash, this arrangement eventually ended the conflict.

Even though KT has a healthy relationship with Rhodes Island, RI remains cautious in handling them due to the former's political background. Despite several disagreements such as the one during the Snowcap Incident, the two continued their cooperation for the time being.

## Members

Of the above characters:

* Gnosis is nominally "fired" from K.T. during Break the Ice, but still retains his position.
* Aurora is technically *not* a K.T. member; Enciodes sponsored her collegial studies in Columbia before she sought oripathy treatment at Rhodes Island.
* Kjera is technically *not* a K.T. member, but the deity Kjeragandr. She sneaks into R.I. as a servant for Enya.
* Monch would likely join K.T. in the future after going missing for a while, as attested in the 2nd anniversary artwork.

Penguin Logistics

> A mysterious logistics company that specializes in intelligence trading, armed escort and covert transportation.

> Loading screen tip

**Penguin Logistics** (**P.L.**) is a Terran organization primarily based in Lungmen. It is a global logistics and delivery service company run by the famous rapper Emperor. The company is small in size, but is frequently involved in street fights and run-ins with gangsters and even the Siracusan mafiosi, leading to the question of its supposed legality.

## Background

Most of the time, Penguin Logistics is known as a delivery company made up of Messengers who will deliver the package to its destination "no matter what it takes." However, P.L. allegedly also provides many other services, from armed deliveries to escort missions. P.L. also owns many commercial venues, one of which includes a bar named "The Ends of the Earth."

P.L. has a bad reputation in Lungmen for its tendency of getting into "gang wars" with various criminal mobs, including the Rat Kingand the Siracusan mafiosi, as well as causing property damage all around the nomadic city. It is Emperor's "friendship" with Wei Yenwu and the Lungmen Guard Department that keeps P.L. from facing legal trouble for its actions. Because of this, P.L. has numerous safehouses scattered around Lungmen.

P.L. members are guided by a simple principle: go with the flow. As such, they never put much thought into what they will do next, instead focusing on the present moment. This is also the reason for their misgivings. Even then, Bison remarks out that it is incredible to see P.L. still functioning, to the point that has a friendly rivalry with its Lungmen-based competitor, MountainDash Logistics.

P.L. has become active in Siracusa following the Volsinii incident, as Sora needs to travel there for her performances. P.L.'s first overseas branch was opened in Nuova Volsinii without the interference of the *famiglie*. Even Leontuzzo, the city's new mayor and former heir of the Bellones, does not care much about the matter in order to respect Cellinia's decision. In the meantime, P.L. has invited MDL to open a new branch there as well, as this would establish a trade route between Lungmen and Siracusa.

## Notable members

An energetic messenger.
She believes that the purpose of work is to improve one's quality of life, and that the contemporary lifestyle brought on by shopping is the best way of improving her life.
She isn't hung up about money, but she does enjoy living paycheck-to-paycheck while jumping on opportunities to make a quick profit. She can often be seen hawking goods in various places.

Archive File 2
Messengers usually get two kinds of work: Delivering mail and messages, or transporting cargo.
The former requires speed; the latter, strength and endurance. In Penguin Logistics, Miss Croissant was an obvious stand-out in the latter.
Also notable, Croissant is extraordinarily strong even for a Forte. Swinging a hefty hammer in one hand while carrying a heavy shield in the other is as simple as breathing to her.

Archive File 3
While not a big operation, Penguin Logistics is well-connected at all levels in Lungmen.
Thus, taking advantage of the channels back home, Croissant's irregular hawking ventures could be a treasure trove that just might offer rarities you wouldn't find anywhere else.
Of course, don't let Croissant know if you did spot a valuable item, or she will wring your wallet.

Archive File 4
Even as a Operator, Croissant has no plans to give up her hobbies and interests.
She knows an Operator will face unprecedented danger and see many unfortunate events. But nevertheless, she is still a city girl who counts her pennies.
Maybe Rhodes Island recruits civilian Operators because they're not jaded and thus fearless, but it's definitely not because they should be exposed to the cruelty of the real world. It's more like the island have many unfortunate people who needed someone as adorable as Croissant to show them what a normal, blissful life is like.
Of course, the unfortunate or hateful may begrudge the blessed, but at least it never happens at Rhodes Island.
Awaken

For the song, see Awaken (enemy) and [[:the boss enemy]].

**Awaken** is an *Arknights* song acting as the leitmotif of Specter the Unchained, performed by the American soprano singer and actress Holly Sedillos.

Introduction

*She embraces the reefs, together with the tide.
[Awaken]. Mumbling in seabed dreamland, is she still aslumber?*

## Lyrics

*Open oceans, crushing waters,*
*deep regrets of mothers daughters*
*open rifts, to cast adrift a*
*ghost ship sinking,*
*abyssal dreaming*
*to sleep, to fall on a safe shore...*

*Holding a paper wall*
*building a dam, they are flooding the circuits*
*to find who I am.*
*Make a list, write it down, in time.*

*Sometimes we need it all, sometimes, resign*
*to a world where the center is never a line.*
*Make a move, take it back, it's mine.*

*Gather raindrops,*
*I'm filling the ocean up.*
*Take every part of me,*
*(Take it all and...)*
*fit it together,*
*I'm building a boat.*
*Cheers as the horns resound.*
*Echoes of those who drown*
*carry myself, let me*
*dream of deep, stay asleep...*

*Find the break.*
*Water, warm.*
*Keep it calm,*
*be afraid to rattle the cage. Take a risk,*
*Take a dive,*
*take it down,*
*suddenly surrender, take back everything.*

*From the open shore*
*I will learn to fly.*
*Soaring past the great divide,*
*voices that surface seem to call out all the lies.*
*Is it still a sin*
*if I let them in*
*as they sail to calmer tides?*
*I'll awaken what's asleep inside.*

*Take a breath, through the salt and the fog.*
*It's gone, it's gone, by the daylight, ah...*
*Take a page from a lost sailor's song.*
*Gather pebbles,*
*I'm filling the ocean...*

*Oh, just a memory.*
*Lost, in ecstasy.*
*Sights and sounds are forgotten and clear.*
*Ships bells, golden rings.*
*Fantasy breaking me.*

*From the open shore*
*I will learn to fly.*
*Soaring past the great divide,*
*voices that surface seem to call out all the lies.*
*Is it still a sin*
*if I let them in*
*as they sail to calmer tides?*
*I'll awaken what's asleep inside.*

*From the open shore*
*I have learned to fly.*
*Soaring past the great divide,*
*voices that surface seem to call out all the lies.*
*There's a hidden door on the ocean floor.*
*Do these dreams belong to me?*
*If it calls my name, am I awakening?*

12F/File

## Profile

12F was the alias commonly used by this Operator in his mercenary work. By his own account, he vacillated between different factions and was involved in the several famous battles over the past few years.
The few verifiable documents we have confirmed that 12F was indeed present for these conflicts, either as a regular mercenary or security for a local facility.
He joined Rhodes Island with Owl, having been admitted for his unique combat experience as well as his experience in general. Now a standard Arts Operator assigned to normal duty.

## Clinical Analysis

*Have at least 25% Trust with 12F to view this file.*
Imaging test for this Operator showed clear outline of internal organs without any unusual dark spot. No unusual traces of Originium particles present in his system, no signs of infection, confirming him as Non-infected.

**[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0%**
Operator 12F showed no symptoms of Oripathy.

**[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.09u/L**
Operator 12F rarely comes into contact with Originium.

**Originium Power Assessment**:
Despite his extensive combat experience, 12F's Originium power was not decisive in any of his battles, as his own accounts confirm. But his grasp of Originium power is slightly better than your typical caster, and maybe factor into his continued survival.

Archive File 2
12F appears very stern and abrasive, but feedback from most Operators who have worked with this inconspicuous caster has been positive. The comments include "Didn't hold up the squad," "helped smooth over internal conflicts," "provided timely assistance," "made unexpectedly good suggestions."

Archive File 3
12F gets along with many Operators. In contrast, his closest friend, Operator Owl, has few other friends at Rhodes Island. 12F often makes concerted efforts to speak to Owl at places she frequents. Because the medical department is too busy to keep up on Owl's state of mind, F12 has been providing regular reports.

Archive File 4
12F has described many of his battles in detail, but reports that he's forgotten what his home and family looked like. "12F" was the designation he was given for his first mission. That was when he met Owl, who was on the opposing side. He was gravely wounded but lived long enough to become a prisoner of war.
