Operator story: Amiya
| Operator | File | Story | Overview | Dialogue | Gallery | Trivia |
Amiya is a Rim Billitonian Cautus who lost her parents — both of whom being members of Babel's Engineering team — when their convoy was raided by bandits in 1090 and contracts Oripathy during the incident. She was rescued by the Doctor and the two decided to travel across Terra before finally returning to Babel after one year and raised by Theresa, the King of Sarkaz.
Prior to her demise on the most recent civil war in Kazdel, Theresa passed on the Civilight Eterna to Amiya and, along with it, the position of the King of Sarkaz, hence why she is also classified as a Chimera and makes her the only known Sarkaz King who is not a Sarkaz herself — an "Outblood King" as the Revenants call her. The extent of Amiya's King of Sarkaz powers include the ability to tap into others' emotions and exert some level of control over them, and invoke the powers of the previous Kings, although much of these abilities are sealed by the ten rings she wears. Her manifestation of Arts is also darker in appearance, another testament of the King's power.
Currently Amiya acts as the figurehead of Rhodes Island, Babel's successor, where she demonstrated herself to be a capable leader despite being only around 14 years old at the time Arknights takes place, and true to her King of Sarkaz powers, a capable combatant who normally fights as a caster but can "borrow" the powers of her "predecessors" when needed. Although many believed that she is the prophesized tyrannical King of Sarkaz who is set to be a harbinger of apocalypse, Amiya is anything but that; she wishes to use her power to deliver salvation to the world of Terra regardless of racial or national differences. To that end, Amiya leads R.I. through the Chernobog and Victorian Crises alongside Kal'tsit and the Doctor, and stands ready to face the looming threat from within and beyond.

Darknights Memoir[edit]
Blaze: Will You?[edit]
Prologue[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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]
Episode 03[edit]
Amiya hears from Ch'en that Misha has been kidnapped by W and joins the L.G.D for a joint operation.[9] During the mission, Amiya winds up killing Skullshatterer in order to protect the Doctor's life.[10] Amiya says to the Doctor that she does not regret killing him, but she only wished there had been a better way. Her resolve is further tested when she has to battle Misha, who has taken up Skullshatterer's position in Reunion. Left with no more choice, Amiya is forced to kill Misha. Despite both being Infected with similar goals, the two ended up on opposite sides of the conflict. Amiya begins to doubt herself and whether Rhodes Island can break this vicious cycle of violence. Amiya keeps Skullshatterer's mask as a reminder of her actions, with Ch'en telling her that one day, her room will be full of similar masks.[11]
Episode 04[edit]
Misha's death left a permanent scar on Amiya's heart. She decides to go visit the Lungmen slums again and helps out an Infected child. Seeing the terrible state of the slums, dark thoughts begin to cloud Amiya's mind and she begins to wonder if she is even capable of helping the Infected. However, upon seeing the normally harsh Ch'en helping out an Infected child on her own, Amiya starts regaining some hope.[12]
Amiya tries negotiating a cooperation agreement with Ch'en, but the latter still sees Rhodes Island as just a group of Infected. A sudden report from Frostleaf alerts the two of the presence of Reunion leaders in an abandoned city not far from Lungmen. Backed up by the L.G.D., Amiya leads Rhodes Island into the city.[13] They fight against several Reunion soldiers before eventually reaching Frostleaf's squad, but Jessica appears to be traumatised from the fight. Amiya thus taps into her Sarkaz powers to heal some of Jessica's trauma.[14]
As they attempt to evacuate, the group encounter Mephisto, who taunts the group. Amiya resolves herself, understanding that she needs to be brave in order to prevent further tragedy. As Rhodes Island fights againt Mephisto, the Yeti Squadron led by FrostNova arrive. Her ability to drain heat and spread ice prove to be extremely dangerous. Amiya uses her black Arts to cut through Reunion's defenses, shattering an Originum ice crystal which releases cold haze, allowing the group to escape. Amiya's squad has completed their mission, but a transmission from Ch'en makes her realise that Lungmen is in grave danger.[15]
Episode 05[edit]
Amiya and the Rhodes Island squad were struggling to escape the abandoned city when Blaze and a helicopter (courtesy of Swire) arrives to help them. They arrive back at Lungmen and see Ch'en facing off against Mephisto and Faust at the L.G.D. Headquarters. Amiya uses her Arts to manipulate Mephisto's herd, giving Blaze a chance to destroy most of them in one big explosion. Amiya then faces off against Mephisto, condemning how he turned his own Infected kin into mindless zombies. With the L.G.D. and Rhodes Island working together, they were able to force Reunion to retreat.[16]
Amiya scolds Wei Yenwu for using Rhodes Island as bait, but Chief Wei states that the L.G.D. had never abandoned them. Amiya decides to let go of the matter since they didn't have any proof. The cooperation between RI and and Lungmen still stands, and Amiya knows there is still much to do.[17]
Episode 06[edit]
Episode 07[edit]
During Rhodes Island's advance to Chernobog's core city, Patriot and his shieldguards block their path. Amiya and Kal'tsit attempt to reason with him, but Patriot does not waver. He believes that FrostNova's death was due to her "blind trust", but Amiya rebukes him, maintaining that her life had meaning even in death. The two sides thus engage in an intense battle. Through her Sarkaz Arts, Amiya witnesses the 200 years of Patriot's long life, and delivers a precise strike to Patriot, halting his advance and causing him to admit defeat.[18]
Feeling pity fo Patriot, Amiya uses her power to conjure comforting visions of Patriot's family as Kal'tsit recites an incantation for his passing. However, he suddenly reawakens when he realises that Amiya is the new Lord of Fiends. He utters a prophecy, saying that Amiya "will be the most horrific disaster to afflict the world." To prevent this, Patriot takes one last step to crush Amiya, but the Cautus girl stands firm and the Wendigo dies from his injuries before he could reach her. With Patriot's death, Amiya convinces the shieldguards decide to put aside their differences and work together to stop Talulah.[19]
Episode 08[edit]
To stand a better chance against Talulah/Kashchey, Amiya tapped into the memories of one of her "predecessors" Qui'lon 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 Qui'lon's sword Wrathful Cerulean Flame.[20] By doing so, Amiya traded the ability to use ranged Arts attacks 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 Qui'lon himself.[21]

Episode 09[edit]
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.[22]
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.[23]
Vigilo[edit]
Warfarin: Rarely Serious[edit]
One day before Amiya leaves for Londinium, she goes to get a physical checkup from Warfarin. Warfarin says that Amiya is in good health though she warns her about taking off her rings. While Warfarin conducts a blood test, the two reminisce about when they met and how Warfarin joined Rhodes Island. Amiya remembers thinking how Warfarin didn't look like a doctor and how much smaller she was compared to her. Amiya then questions whether Warfarin had ever thought about leaving, but Warfarin promises that as long as Rhodes Island doesn't abandon Theresa's original mission to cure Oripathy, she will stay by her side. In turn, Amiya promises to Warfarin that she'll make it back alive from Londinium.
Episode 10[edit]
In order to prevent all-out war, Amiya requests the help of the Closure and the Glasgow gang to save Victoria from the occupying Sarkaz. They were able to infiltrate Sudean with the help of an informant but are immediately met with a barrage of cannon fire from Londinium's own secondary defense artillery. The group are helped by Stainless, a member of the Londinium Citizens' Self-Salvation Corps (otherwise known as Eartha). Amiya also meets other members of the group, which includes Rockrock and Eartha's leader, Clovisia.[24]
While the group are taking refuge there, Amiya overhears Rockrock talking about seeing a "white-haired Sarkaz woman" who is the "Lord of Fiends." The description reminds Amiya of Theresa, yet she is unwilling to believe in it. She dearly misses Theresa and she has seen Theresa in her dreams so many times. Amiya confesses to the Doctor that she could feel an intense anger from the Sarkaz burning inside Londinium. Although she is scared, she believes she needs to get closer to find the source of this anger.[25]
Amiya proposes a collaboration with Clovisia to help Eartha break into an occupied factory to rescue the Corps' operatives, one of them being Heidi. With everyone's help, the mission was a success and they were able to rescue many prisoners, though not without some losses. Later, one of the rescued soldiers named Bill asks her a few strange questions. Although she cannot sense any malice in him, Amiya grows suspicious realises that he is an impostor. She calmly threatens "Bill" using her Arts when the Doctor brings the rest of the Corps into the room. Amiya manages to reassure them that "Bill" is a traitor when they suddenly get attacked, forcing them out of the underground base.[26]
The group are now pressed for time. In accordance with their plan, Amiya heads up Londinium's walls where she encounters Manfred. Manfred mocks her, saying that she could never understand the Sarkaz. Amiya rebukes him by saying that she's read the emotions of many Sarkaz warriors and believes that this war would only lead the Sarkaz to more pain. Amiya's Arts have greatly improved since the Chernobog crisis and she manages to stall Manfred long enough for Horn and her army to arrive, allowing her and the Doctor to head to the defense system's control room.[27]
Amiya defends the group while they detonate the control room, which disables the cannons. With their mission accomplished, Amiya and the rest of the group rush onto a train heading towards Central Londinium. As the train leaves, Amiya catches glimpse of a white-haired female Sarkaz that is all too familiar to her.[28] Amiya finally knows the source of the emotions she's felt in Londinium. In that moment of when their eyes briefly met, Amiya could sense an irrepressible wave of sorrow. Amiya thus resolves herself to find out the truth behind Theresa and the Sarkaz's invasion.[29]
