Angelina Ajimu

The Siracusan Vulpo Angelina Ajimu was once an ordinary schoolgirl from the nomadic city of Florentia. A lively and curious girl who always dreamed of exploring palces beyond her hometown. That was until she contracted Oripathy in an accident where she was scratched by a truck carrying Originium explosives. Preassured by her condition and feeling that she would become a burden to her parents, she was forced to leave Florentia behind, but even then she became an easy prey for the famiglie. But everything changed when she met Martina, a local Messenger who not only helped her evade the mafia, but also allowed her to help delivering correspondence. In the brief time they spent together, Martina taught Angelina a most valious lesson; "Bad times will always pass, just as the sun always rises."

Subsequently, Angelina was taken to Rhodes Island for treatment. Despite being a rookie, she works as a Messenger, and in her spare time, she trains her tactical anti-gravitic Originium Arts— which she learned from Martina and quickly mastered— making her capable in combat and a reliable field support unit. No matter how dire things might get, the happy-go-lucky Angelina will always look up with a smile.

Angelina has a striking, playful look that blends softness with confidence. She has warm auburn hair styled in twin ponytails, with animal-like ears peeking through, giving her an expressive, fox- or wolf-like charm. Her eyes are a vivid red, slightly narrowed, carrying a teasing, self-assured gaze. There’s a gentle blush on her cheeks that softens her expression and makes her look relaxed and approachable. Her outfit is bold and eye-catching: a deep red, form-fitting bodysuit that contrasts strongly with her fair skin. Over it, she wears a loose white shirt that hangs open, adding to the casual, intimate feel of her appearance. Around her neck is a dark choker with glowing blue accents and a metal ring, which gives her a slightly edgy, modern vibe. Matching wrist accessories and straps on her thigh reinforce that aesthetic. Small details stand out too—the fluffy tail curled beside her, a small blue mark or sticker on her thigh, and the overall relaxed pose as she lies back on the bed. Together, these elements make Angelina come across as confident, playful, and comfortably aware of her own charm, without looking tense or aggressive—more teasing than intimidating.

About Vulpo: Vulpos have large, protruding ears and long, bushy tails unlike Lupos and Perros. They are one of the three races separated from the Perros due to cultural and biological differences along with the Lupos and Reprobas. Vulpos also includes various Elder subgroups such as Kitsune, though many of them have already integrated into the Vulpo population.

On the outside, Vulpos are sometimes mistaken for Perros due to their almost identical physical appearances; hence, many Vulpos are already getting used to the mishaps. Nevertheless, they can be recognized through their medium-sized stature and their keen flexibility amongst other Terrans. In fact, in the ancient era before their divergence from the Perros, Vulpos were often described as the ”most agile of Perros.” Because of their traits, many Vulpos are depicted as outstanding combatants in various cultures like the protagonist of the Minoan epic To Próto Vélos.

Despite their small number when compared with other races, Vulpos can be found anywhere on Terra with a considerable population living in Siracusa. Being heavily influenced by the Lupos' mafia culture, some Siracusan Vulpos also organize themselves into famiglie and crime families, and many point out that such a degenerate culture has corrupted the Vulpo's traditional kindness and turn them into foxes that are fiercer than the wolves.

About Siracusa: Siracusa, formally known as the Confederate City-States of Siracusa or the Siracusan Confederation for short, is a Terran country bordering Kazdel, Laterano, and Leithanien. Home of many Lupos and Vulpos, Siracusa is a confederation of twenty-two autonomous city-states under the effective control of twelve mafia families, the Dodici Famiglie, with a unified leadership of a powerful Capo dei capi.

The Siracusan mafia could be traced back to the classical era when Siracusa was a confederation of manors until its annexation by Leithanien as its tenth autonomous Kreis. The modern nation-state of Siracusa was founded following its independence from Leithanien, but the nation quickly fell into decades of anarchy marked with open conflicts among the famiglie until the current Capo of the mafia, Signora Sicilia, unified them under a common law that regulates their activities and limits their political power.

Despite its lawlessness, Siracusa possesses a rich culture, a lot of which comes from foreign influences. The Siracusan cuisine is praised for its uniqueness and delicacy; the Church of Laterano has a strong influence on the Siracusan faith; its legal system is based on Columbian judiciary introduced by the Columbian famiglie; due to its Leithanian roots, opera is beloved among the Siracusans from common folks to the nobility.

About Oripathy: Oripathy is scientifically defined as "the abnormal assimilation between body cells and active Originium," a disease in which active Originium corrodes the patient's body as the crystals slowly replace normal body cells.[1] It usually starts within a few days after initial contact with Originium particles from raw (unprocessed) sources, such as Originium shards, ingots and Originium particles in the air. The Infected will begin to exhibit hardened skin on the site of contact, which will then turn dark and start to rise in elevation similar to a regular scab. After a few more days, the Infected will often experience internal burns and the blackened spot will continue to harden to the point of crystallization resembling that of Originium crystals, typically preceded by lesions in the shape of radiating lines on their outer skin, which becomes the tell-tale sign of Oripathy. Further contact with Originium and overusing Originium Arts could further accelerate the progress.

About Originium: Appearing as a black, semi-transparent crystalline mineral (although it has been occasionally seen in other colors like blue or gold), Originium can be found in surface-level rock layers or even meters underground, though it's most frequently seen at sites of Catastrophes in large quantities, and is believed to play a role in causing them. Unlike other crystalline minerals, Originium grows and metastasizes naturally in the wild, and can even assimilate with organic matter if given the opportunity. Originium can also self-replicate to a certain extent, and the original veins in the area will inevitably show signs of rapid extension.[2][3] Originium is also quite unstable, as it vaporizes into gaseous particles over time, is highly flammable when in a liquid state, and exhibits highly explosive properties under the right conditions. However, contrary to what one might believe, Originium is not actually radioactive.

The structure of Originium is similar to an onion; it is composed of a core and layers.

About Originium Arts: Originium Arts, or simply Arts, is the umbrella term for the ability to manipulate and transform matter and energy using the power provided by Originium in the world of Arknights. It serves as the setting’s primary "magic system"—or more precisely, a form of "super-science."

The ability to use Arts is innate to most Terrans, and many individuals are capable of performing at least basic applications. Those with advanced proficiency—enough to be combat-effective using Arts alone—are known as Casters (not to be confused with the Operator class of the same name). In fact, many Operators outside the Caster class are also capable of using Arts to varying degrees.

About Rhodes island: Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals Inc. or simply Rhodes Island (R.I.) is the protagonist faction of Arknights. Made up almost exclusively of the Infected, R.I. legally operates as a pharmaceutical company that provides care and treatment to the Infected, but due to the wide variety of Operators in its employ with combat skills, they are more of a paramilitary organization who strives to fight for the betterment of the Infected.
