Operator story: Amiya

From Arknights Terra Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Will Amiya become a savior or destroyer of all Terra? It's all up to you, Doctor. It's all up to you.

The young Rim Billitonian Chimera, partially (and mostly) a Cautus, Amiya, was raised by Babel after losing her family in an accident. Her background is shrouded in mystery, with much of her biographical information classified. Amiya is the figurehead of Rhodes Island, Babel's successor, and a capable leader, despite being only around 14 years old at the time Arknights takes place. She is a formidable caster whose manifestation of Arts is darker in appearance, setting her apart from other known casters. Alongside Kal'tsit and the recently awakened Doctor, Amiya plays a crucial role in leading R.I. through the Chernobog and Victorian Crises and the looming threat of Originium that plagues Terra.

Amiya is considered the "successor" of Theresa, the last Sarkaz King of Kazdel who perished during a recent civil war in Kazdel, making her the only known Sarkaz King who is not a Sarkaz herself – an "Outblood King" as the Revenants call her. She inherited Theresa's powers, including the ability to tap into others' emotions, exert some level of control over them, and invoke the powers of the previous Sarkaz Kings, although much of these abilities are sealed by the ten rings she wears. Amiya is believed to be the legendary "Lord of Fiends" who is marked by a black crown over their head and prophesized to be the harbinger of the apocalypse. The question remains: will Amiya live up to the prophecy by bringing destruction to all of Terra, or will she deliver salvation to this dystopian world instead?

Blaze: Will You?

Prologue

"Doctor, Doctor! Wake up, Doctor!"

Amiya, along with Ace, Dobermann, and Nearl, commanded a Rhodes Island squad into the heart of the Ursus city of Chernobog. They were conducting an important mission: to rescue the Doctor from the Sarcophagus. The medics successfully managed to awaken the Doctor, but Amiya was heartbroken to hear that the Doctor had amnesia. Still, she asks the Doctor to believe in her. Amiya's presence seems to reawaken some of the Doctor's previous commander instincts and the two work together to break through the riots that have engulfed Chernobog.[1]

Episode 01

"You will not hurt them, Talulah."

Amiya and the others update the Doctor on the situation as they evacuate Rhodes Island. She tells the Doctor about the Infected, Oripathy, Reunion, and Rhodes Island's creed.[2] The riots in Chernobog cause problems for the evacuation team, made worse by a sudden Catastrophe.[3] The group are forced to fight against Reunion soldiers as they make their way towards the city perimeter. Things suddenly become dire when Reunion's leader, Talulah, appears in front of them. The group would have been burned to ashes if Amiya hadn't unleashed her black Arts against her. However, Talulah proves to be too powerful, and Ace urges them to flee while he buys them some time.[4] Thanks to his sacrifice, Rhodes Island was able to exit the city and return to the landship.[5]

Episode 02

Four days after their escape from Chernobog, Amiya and the Doctor arrive at Lungmen. They had received a cooperation agreement from the nearest nomadic city, Lungmen. Amiya participates in negotiations with Wei Yenwu and recounts in detail the events that took place in Chernobog as well as Reunion's involvement. Wei then requests that they assist the Lungmen Guard Department to suppress any Reunion forces in the city under the watch of Superintendent Ch'en.[6] Ch'en orders Rhodes Island to search for a young Ursus girl by the name of Misha, who is believed to hold key intel about Chernobog.

For this mission, Rhodes Island collaborates with Liskarm and Franka from Blacksteel Worldwide, along with Texas and Exusiai from Penguin Logistics. Amiya finds Misha in the slums and manages to convinces her into joining their side by revealing her own infection to her.[7] Unlike Ch'en, who just sees Misha as a piece of intel, Amiya is genuinely concerned over the girl's health and safety. Along the way, the group are continuously attacked by Infected thugs and Reunion soldiers. Amiya is hesitant to fight them and she emphasises the need to minimise damage to the surrounding housing. Eventually, the team successfully evacuate Misha out of the slums. Before handing her over to L.G.D., Amiya promises to teach Misha how to make dolls next time.[8]

To stand a better chance against Talulah/Kashchey, Amiya tapped into the memories of one of her "predecessors" Kollam and Ch'en's emotions. With these, Amiya decides to remove one of her ten rings to invoke her Sarkaz King powers, and created a greatsword named Ying Xiao (影霄; lit. "Shadow Firmament"), which is a "duplicate" of Ch'en's Chi Xiao but with a black blade as opposed to red and bears an uncanny resemblance to Kollam's sword Wrathful Cerulean Flame.[9] By doing so, Amiya traded the ability to use ranged Arts attacks with in favor of close-combat Arts swordplay that mimicked Ch'en's, and Amiya's right arm where she wielded Ying Xiao was covered in a vambrace identical to one worn by Kollam himself.[10]

Episode 09

"Talulah, you should not have left that room."

Word about the County Hillock atrocity quickly spreads across Rhodes Island. Many operators are enraged by both the Victorian army and Dublinn's actions, which has resulted in the devastation of an entire city and the deaths of countless civilians, including one of their elite operators, Outcast. Nevertheless, Amiya is thankful to Saileach for assisting Rhodes Island during the incident.[11]

Months after the incident, Rhodes Island was attacked by a newly-reformed Reunion, led by Nine. The group manages to breach into Talulah's holding cell and successfully grab her, but Amiya halts them from escaping the landship. Amiya doesn't want to fight Reunion again, but she cannot condemn them trying to take Talulah away by force. Nine then uses her plant-based Arts to put Amiya to sleep, allowing Reunion to escape with Talulah in tow.

The attack was a serious blow to Rhodes Island's infrastructure and security. At the very least, with Talulah gone, Ursus and Lungmen no longer have any reason to keep a close eye on Rhodes Island. Despite this, Amiya is certain that they will meet Talulah again.[12]
