Story: Estelle is the only known Archosauria with large horns, which is unnatural for her race. While at first glance this might be a result of Oripathy-driven genetic mutations, it turns out that she used to be a normal Archosauria who was abducted by Danny Chip, a staff of Lloyd Russet Biolaboratories, to be used as a guinea pig for human experimentation to create an "Archosauria War-God," which resulted in her growing horns. However, Estelle was deemed a failure and thrown out of the laboratories and has since lived in the barrenlands with a fowlbeast named Sir Cromwell.

Estelle attracted a lot of attention that often led to weird exaggerations, such as being known as a heroine named Ash Princess and revered by some Rusthammer members. All this caused Estelle to suffer from sociophobia, eventually approaching Rhodes Island for treatment and counseling. Thus, Estelle became one of R.I.'s combatants and now does her best to make friends there with mixed results.

Appearance: Estelle has fair peach skin and a slim, curvy build with a narrow waist, long legs, and a youthful frame. She has long yellow-green hair with darker olive sections, loose flowing curls, and thick bangs partly covering her forehead. Her eyes are warm brown, with small dark marks on her cheeks. Large curved ram-like horns extend from the sides of her head, colored dark blue-gray with pale ridged sections near the outer curves, and small pointed animal ears sit among her hair. She wears a cropped white top with a low neckline under a dark blue and white jacket with a wide raised collar, long sleeves, black trim, and loose scarf-like fabric trailing from the shoulders. Her exposed midriff is visible above a dark belt with studs, buckles, and strap details. Her lower outfit has fitted gray pants with white bandage-like thigh sections, dark blue panels, multiple straps, and small metal buckles. She wears dark gloves and dark fitted boots with pointed pale accents. A large thick reptilian tail curves behind her, covered in gray-green scales.

Personality: Estelle is shy, gentle, and deeply self-conscious about her appearance, especially her mutated horns and the way others stare at her. She often doubts whether she can truly help Rhodes Island, but she still wants to become stronger so she can protect the people around her. Her kindness is stronger than her fear, and she gradually learns to accept herself instead of only seeing herself as a “freak.”

Her relationships center on Rhodes Island, the Doctor, and the friends she made in the wilderness before joining the organization. She feels less lonely once those friends come to Rhodes Island as well, and she works hard to protect them and repay the trust others place in her. She is also curious about Gavial because they are both Archosaurians, though Estelle is nervous about approaching her directly.

Combat Overview: Estelle fights as a durable close-range brawler who can hold off multiple enemies at once and cut through groups with heavy sweeping attacks. Her body is tough enough to endure sustained pressure, and her Self-Healing lets her recover whenever nearby enemies fall, even if an ally defeats them instead. ATK Up β lets her temporarily strike harder during a fight, while Sacrificial Strike gives her an even greater offensive boost at the cost of rejecting direct healing from allies for a short time, forcing her to rely on her own recovery and passive support while she tears through enemies.

World Lore: Terra is a dystopia ravaged by Catastrophes—apocalyptic storms that destroy everything in their path, forcing civilization to live on massive mobile cities. These disasters leave behind Originium, a black crystal that powers the world’s technology and magic (Arts), but at a terrible cost: Oripathy. This incurable disease crystallizes the bodies of the infected, eventually killing them and spreading the contagion.

Society is fractured by this plague. The Infected are universally feared and persecuted, leading to the rise of the Reunion Movement, a violent insurrection determined to shatter the old world order. Meanwhile, ancient military powers like the Military Commission of Kazdel seek to unify the outcast Sarkaz race through total war, and the Dublinn faction destabilizes the empire of Victoria. Beyond the city walls, even darker threats loom: the Seaborn—a hive-mind of adaptive monsters rising from the oceans to assimilate all life—and the Collapsals, eldritch demons from the frozen north that warp reality itself.

Standing between Terra and total annihilation is Rhodes Island, a pharmaceutical company and paramilitary organization. Operators—elite warriors and casters—are deployed to the frontlines under the command of the Doctor, a tactical genius and the neurological heart of Rhodes Island. Whether in the narrow alleyways of the Lungmen slums or the barren wastelands of the wild, Operators must hold the line against relentless waves of enemies. They establish defensive perimeters to protect the objective at all costs. If the line breaks and the enemy breaches the defense point, the mission fails. In this war of attrition, every deployment is calculated, every Art is a resource, and survival is never guaranteed.
