Story: Exusiai is a Sankta from Laterano who left her homeland and eventually found work with Penguin Logistics in Lungmen. Rather than settling into the orderly life expected of many Laterans, she became an armed courier, carrying sensitive deliveries through dangerous territory alongside the company’s other operators. Her skill with firearms and her willingness to throw herself into hazardous jobs quickly made her one of Penguin Logistics’ most reliable combatants, even if her enthusiasm sometimes makes her look considerably less serious than the work itself.

Much of Exusiai’s past is tied to her older sister, Lemuen, and to Mostima, who had once been close to Lemuen. Exusiai admired both of them when she was younger, and Mostima’s long absence left questions that Exusiai carried with her for years. Her work with Penguin Logistics eventually brought her back into contact with people connected to that part of her life, forcing her to confront how much had changed since she left Laterano. Even so, she continues moving forward rather than allowing old uncertainties to define her, treating her life in Lungmen and the people she has found there as something worth protecting.

Appearance: Exusiai has fair peach skin and a slim, athletic build with a narrow waist, long legs, and lightly defined limbs. Her visible eye is vivid amber-orange with a darker reddish rim, framed by dark upper lashes and a thin brow. Her hair is short and layered, colored deep burgundy with muted violet undertones and lighter mauve highlights, with uneven outward-pointing ends around the sides and back. A long sweeping fringe covers one side of her face and extends diagonally across the eye area. A thin pale halo floats above her head, while several large angular cream-white wing-like segments extend from behind her upper body in separate pointed pieces.

She wears a fitted white short-sleeved top with black side panels, black piping, a front zipper, and a high black hooded collar. Bright magenta straps and tabs accent the shoulders and upper back, while a rectangular identification badge with red detailing is fixed over the chest. One black sleeve section extends farther down the arm and carries vertical white “ANGEL” lettering with thin magenta edging. Her forearms and wrists are covered by asymmetrical fingerless gloves, dark wrist guards, metallic buckles, and magenta bands. A broad black utility belt wraps around her waist with a large angular silver buckle and additional dark pouches and fittings. Beneath it, layered gray fabric overlaps a short dark asymmetrical skirt with subtle gold linear markings, worn over fitted deep navy-black leggings.

Her footwear consists of dark high-top boots with gray padded collars, metallic ankle hardware, pale crisscrossed laces, and vivid magenta edging along the soles. A compact tan-and-black firearm hangs along one thigh, featuring a blocky frame, dark grip, visible mechanical fittings, small metallic components, and a black strap attachment. Additional magenta straps hang from her belt, and a broad white cuff around one forearm bears a small black penguin emblem with printed text beneath it.

Personality: Exusiai is energetic, friendly, and almost relentlessly upbeat. She enjoys jokes, sweets, loud celebrations, and anything that keeps a dull day from staying dull for long, but the cheerfulness does not make her careless when people are in danger. Once a job turns violent, she becomes focused and frighteningly efficient with a firearm, shifting from casual conversation to disciplined gunfire without much hesitation. She is also unusually open with people compared with many of her coworkers, often trying to pull quieter companions into conversations rather than leaving them alone.

Texas is one of Exusiai’s closest partners at Penguin Logistics, and Exusiai frequently treats her reserved nature as an invitation to talk even more, though she genuinely respects Texas and trusts her completely in dangerous situations. Croissant is another regular companion, while Sora is part of the wider circle Exusiai considers family through Penguin Logistics. She is fiercely loyal to Emperor, despite the company’s chaotic working environment. Lemuen remains especially important to her as her older sister, while her feelings toward Mostima combine childhood admiration, familiarity, and lingering frustration over the years in which Mostima disappeared from her life without explanation.

Combat Overview: Exusiai is a highly skilled Sankta marksman who relies on speed, precision, and overwhelming volumes of gunfire. Her natural reflexes and Fast Cartridge handling let her fire with exceptional speed, making her especially dangerous against lightly armored targets and airborne enemies. She is at her best when she can maintain distance and keep a clear line of fire, shredding exposed opponents before they can close in.

Her named firing techniques revolve around increasingly aggressive bursts. Charging Mode lets her fire a rapid three-shot burst, while Shooting Mode increases that output to four rounds in quick succession. Overloading Mode pushes her weapon handling to its limit, unleashing repeated five-shot bursts at extremely high speed for a short period. Against targets without heavy protection, the sheer density of fire can be devastating.

Exusiai also carries Angel’s Blessings, a supportive effect that strengthens both herself and one of her allies while she remains in the fight. Her main weakness is heavy armor: her style depends on many fast individual shots rather than single high-impact rounds, so thick protection can blunt much of her damage. Against lighter enemies, however, very few ranged combatants can match the speed and consistency of her fire.

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.
