Beyond is the eldest daughter of the CEO of the Antiphon Corporation, Gaius Antiphon. She is the company's heir and its acting chairperson after her father's disappearance, but her lack of scientific aptitude gets in the way of her role.

Beyond is naturally a silly person, but under the serious circumstances she finds herself in constantly, she shows a more hardened and distant side to her personality.

She cares deeply for her sister Arietta and does everything in her power to support her.

## Story

### NOISZ Ignition

When the main character is attacked by a robotic rhino Noise Beast, Beyond rushes in and gives them the NOISZ to defend themself. Afterward, she guides the main character toward a suspected Noise Beast appearance.

Beyond learns of a massive suit of armor and decides to investigate it.

Beyond notices the main character's sudden disappearance and worries about their well-being.

A massive suit of armor terrorizes the city, and Beyond runs away. She feels her energy faltering and escapes to a laboratory to undergo a decontamination protocol. When she exits the decontamination capsule, Beyond notices that the mass-production NOISZ prototypes went missing.

Beyond finds the main character after this as they're talking with Arietta. The main character is furious at Arietta and Beyond for using them in the plot to restore the boundary between worlds and their bodies. They try to attack Arietta, but in Story C, Beyond gets in the way to defend her sister.

In Story C, the entity that had been inside of Arietta's eye possesses Beyond. She attacks the main character. Then, within the Void, the main character fights this possessed Beyond.

After the fight with Beyond in the Void, the entity that had been possessing Arietta convinces her to absorb Beyond's energy into herself. This causes the two to fuse into a single body, which is entirely controlled by this entity, named Alpha.

## History

Gaius tasked Beyond with supervising the N Project, which eventually developed the NOISZ.

Beyond asked Stornel to make a progress report and look over Remora's model for the N Project's engine, to which he lashed out at her over. Beyond got upset after the interaction, and Remora comforted her.

Under her leadership, the N Project was supposedly canceled and the researcher Stornel was fired. Beyond fought back in her mind against Gaius' blaming her; after all, she was just barely out of high school when Gaius saddled her with this level of responsibility. Yet, she can't manage to voice her objections. She hated her role and dealing with her father, but she put herself through the suffering to ensure that Arietta wouldn't have to.

When Arietta learned that she was unable to compose, Beyond insisted on helping her. This led to them going into the basement of the Antiphon building to investigate the portal to the World of Music. However, it went horrifically wrong, and Beyond lost her right arm while trying to protect Arietta from a dangerous, otherworldly entity. She dragged herself and Arietta to Remora's lab for medical care.

Remora informed them of the damage the portal did to their bodies. Beyond and Arietta decide to use the NOISZ to harvest energy in order to restore their bodies and repair the boundary between worlds.

After everything she went through, Beyond felt like she was crumbling under the pressure. Remora assured her that these outcomes were not her fault. She revealed that Stornel's disappearance was actually due to a fatal lab accident. Beyond remarked on the unsupportive and cruel nature of her father and resolved to run the company in a better way than Gaius did. During this revelation, she came up with the name "Beyond," as in "Beyond Antiphon."
