FAONA arc, New Eridu Defense Forces' remaining

A nigh-blind sniper and frontline survivor of the old capital's fall, Trigger is a member of Obol Squad, where she uses her array of close-range, sharpshooting and stealth skills obtained from her time at Lyre Squad along with an ability gained from her corrupted eyesight dubbed 'Ether Vision' and heightened senses in hopes of finding the true culprits behind Eridu's fall. Outside of being a soldier specializing in killing targets from afar, Trigger has a caring side. Her desire to protect those near to her has a notable effect on her psyche, and she also gets along well with children. Also, she likes red bean buns. Trigger wears a mask with two lights at the bottom two corners that light up depending on her emotions. The once shy Phlegethon was a soldier brought into Eridu Defense Force's Chrysoberyl Division - Lyre Squad by its captain Charon to be their sniper. Her codename was considered cumbersome by Charon, who decided to redub her with a new codename: Trigger. Over the span of a two and a half years, Trigger became more talkative and skilled as a sniper, capable of adjusting to changes in wind speeds on the fly and protecting her teammates from harm. She also made tight bonds with each member of Lyre Squad to the point her captain noticed how she seemed on the verge of breaking any time a member got hurt. Whilst recording a message with the rest of Lyre Squad to celebrate Trigger's 1000th day, she told the sniper not to bear everything alone and to trust them with her vulnerable side and gifted her a song she composed on a harmonica "Homecoming". Trigger would never hear this message until after the old capital's fall. When Hollow Zero first began expansion, Defense Force HQ believed it was a normal Hollow disaster that could easily be stopped with the standard amount of troops, this included Lyre Squad, who were sent with the promise of reinforcements coming to support them, but soon what they expected to be a regular amount of Ethereals became an onslaught and their backup never came. Trigger watched her fellow soldiers die or be corrupted until she was hit with a powerful etheric beam to her eyes, which corrupted them to the point that 90% of her eyesight was gone. Trigger soon lost consciousness due to that and other wounds, and the last thing she ever saw was her squadmates, heavily corrupted and injured yet still protecting her. Whilst they continued to fight, Lyre Squad soon saw another solider, Grim Vulture of Nemesis Squad, who was retreating. With them being beyond saving, they tasked the fleeing sniper with saving Trigger, which she did. When Trigger regained consciousness, the old capital had been destroyed and Hollow Zero was contained. Now blind, Trigger was interrogated by an unknown group. According to her Lyre Squad was still alive and with her, which contradicted with other statements and caused the sniper to mentally break, when the interrogation concluded, Trigger promised to find her friends. Trigger soon left the Defense Force, now suffering heavy PTSD from the Hollow Zero incident. Over time she learnt that her disability had granted her a unique ability to detect etheric fluctuations of humans, Ethereals and objects within a Hollow, an ability she named "Ether Vision". During this time Trigger spent most of her time around Port Elpis. It was at this same location where she heard the familiar melody of "Homecoming" once again. This song led to her befriending then rookie proxies Phaethon and soon led to them learning what happened to her squad and ending the life of her savior-turned-serial killer. Afterwards, Trigger made her new goal in life to be finding the real culprits behind the old capital's fall, and took an offer given to her by Nathan, former captain of Obsidian Division - Impera Squad to join a squad that was being formed which aligned with her new goal: Obol Squad. Now the sniper for Obol Squad, Trigger would still stay in contact with Phaethon and find herself working with them later down the line. Trigger's weapon: Phlegethon The military-grade electric sniper rifle Phlegethon is a custom weapon made for Trigger by members of Lyre Squad when she first joined the Defense Force. Its special construction allows it to handle multiple combat scenarios with utmost ease, including, but not limited to, long-range sniping, rapid firing, and close-quarters combat. Some flying drones that could do electro attacks, two floating blasters which could send energy beams and shots. Anby's weapon: A sword that can slash fire, which she took from Soldier 11. Gemina, the exclusive weapon of Soldier 0 - Anby, is a pair of twin blades imbued with thunderous power. Its core is embedded with a resonator-like device that can guide high-energy electric currents, capable of releasing intense electric jolts with each slash. Every strike is like a sudden surge of lightning, illuminating Anby's unstoppable battle fervor. The blades are like twin sisters calling out and responding to each other on the ravages of the harsh battlefield, severing the past and forging a new future. Captain of the long-defunct Silver Squad, Soldier 0, now known as Anby Demara, is a skilled soldier proficient in tactics and swordplay. Once considered as an expendable unit of the Obsidian Division, Anby now lives a relatively simpler life as a member of the odd-job agency Cunning Hares, where she is treated humanely and nurtures friendships. Although she was considered dead by the Defense Force, Anby still kept her twin swords and old uniform, having the latter patched up and donning it when the situation required it.[Note 1] Wearing her army uniform again allows Anby to recall more memories from her past, especially the Silver Squad fighting style. Before the Fall of the Old Capital, Anby was known as Soldier 0, the captain of the Silver Squad, a group within the New Eridu Defense Force Obsidian Division. Unlike other squads, Silver Squad's infantry consisted of replicas, artificial humans made via genetic cloning. This made them incredibly loyal and powerful (albeit very high-maintenance) soldiers that could be easily replaced if they died in battle. As Soldier 0, Anby was considered the best of all the replicas, obedient to the point where she would kill herself if ordered. All replicas considered themselves to be sisters and cared for each other as family. Therefore, when the Defense Force tried to select only one replica to keep and then dispose of the others to cut maintenance costs, Anby started failing her tests on purpose to convince the Obsidian Division that the entire Silver Squad was needed. One day, their superiors decided to devise a suicide mission to kill off all members of the Silver Squad and keep Anby as the sole replica. However, the night before the operation, Harin, known now as Soldier 11, got injured during training, so Anby took her place for deployment. Despite the mission being created ad hoc to leave no soldier alive, Anby managed to survive and return to the base after witnessing the death of her sisters. Upon her return, her disgruntled superiors, who wanted to keep only one replica alive, gave Anby the order to kill Soldier 11. In an act of disobedience towards her superiors and of love towards her sister, Anby slit her own throat instead, so that the Obsidian Division would be forced to keep Soldier 11 as the sole replica. Her superiors hence kept Soldier 11 and disposed of Anby's body by leaving it by the ruins of the Old Capital, where she was eventually found by Nicole Demara, who took her in as the first member of Gentle House and gave Anby her own surname. When a replica sustains a heavy injury, their memory gets damaged, leading to temporary retrograde amnesia. Therefore, it took a while before Anby remembered her past as Soldier 0. When the memories of her time in the Silver Squad came back, she asked Nicole to gather information regarding Soldier 11, as she learnt that her sister had joined Obol Squad and had become an exemplary soldier. In the end, Anby decided it was best to leave her be, feeling that their shared past would only weigh greatly on her.
