Dusk; Neet 'Roomate' (Arknights)

An enigmatic individual from Yan and one of Nian's eleven "siblings," ranking eleventh among them, Dusk is a painter whose works are "alive," and she can even draw people into a "painted world," as Saga can attest to. She uses some sort of non-Arts power capable of manipulating the fabric of reality and eclipsing anything the Terrans could imagine. However, she is more known as a shut-in who rarely leaves the confines of her humble cottage. To protect her from Yan's attempt to "reunite" the siblings and revive the ancient Feranmut Sui, Nian requested Kroos and Lava to search for Dusk, which forced them into one of her painted worlds before Nian herself rescued them and "persuaded" Dusk to tag along with her. Dusk has since stayed alongside Nian in Rhodes Island and resides within a painted world linked to the Rhodes Island landship. Dusk, a painter from Yan, awaiting assignment. Following the rather excitable actions of a certain resident of the landship by the name of Nian, Dusk has been held as a guest of Rhodes Island. Her skills with a brush are impressive, particularly when it comes the traditional Yan painting style. She made a door in the walkway. It's literally a door you can walk through... And we almost never see Dusk come out of it. She told an HR operator that she has no interest in going out or doing any work. Of course, she doesn't use any of Rhodes Island's resources, but now one of our walkways has a fancy Yan-style door with an incomprehensible weirdo inside it. That's creating some headaches for HR. While she refuses to see visitors, Dusk has said she will continue to paint, occasionally. Some of our staff have seen her work, and find themselves struggling to express anything more interesting than "wow" or "so pretty." Saga, however, did confide in me that Dusk is known to casually destroy those breathtaking pictures. On the upside, at least she's a sort of artistic, well-read type? There is the occasional operator who earns Dusk's favor, but they are few and far between. Dusk has an interest in all kinds of contemporary artworks. If you want to get close to her, giving her books and photo collages is a great way to break the ice! But the way things go from there all depends on your taste, and how well you pick things. Dusk shares her favorite works with a precious few operators, but they include quite a few very old movies from Ursus, Columbia and such. It's pretty rare that anyone gets to 'make friends' with Dusk. She has a temperament that, if I'm being honest, is not quite as nice as Nian's. The rare few who have a relationship with Dusk tell strange stories of a forest in her room, where they can find her sitting in a little pavilion, or like they push in the door to find themselves atop a mountain peak, with Dusk sitting bare-legged on the cliffs, watching the clouds... Is she really at Rhodes Island? Maybe her door is some kind of portal? Oh, right, one more thing. When Dusk and Nian go at each other, it's really something. Dusk speaks with a venom that sends shivers down my spine. Dusk is a reserved and somewhat aloof character with a deep artistic soul. As a painter of great talent, she tends to be reclusive, preferring solitude and the company of her own creations over social interaction. She has a melancholic and introspective nature, often lost in thought and expressing herself through her art rather than words. Despite her cold demeanor, Dusk is not entirely emotionless—she harbors a subtle, dry sense of humor and occasionally shows a softer side to those she trusts. She is also prone to bouts of laziness and procrastination, which contrast with the incredible power and creativity she wields. Her connection to myth and dreams gives her an almost otherworldly presence, as she can manifest creatures from her paintings, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Overall, Dusk is an enigmatic, artistic, and somewhat distant individual who values creativity and introspection above all else. Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a registered drug R&D company working on medical solutions for countries, organizations, and individuals infected with Oripathy. To achieve their goal, Rhodes Island recruits talent from all around the world, regardless of background, experience, or condition. Furthermore, Rhodes Island is committed to providing the best medical and living conditions for its employees, attracting movers and shakers – Infected or not – to try to change the world. Rhodes Island is a large landship consisting of six decks capable of holding a large amount of crew within her hull, allowing to mobilize the personnel anywhere, at any time. In simple terms, it works similar to an aircraft carrier, while serving as a living space for Operators. Because Rhodes Island needs to constantly obtain enough sufficient data to systematically study Oripathy and its effects, the landship also needs to move from area to area. This, however, comes with a cost; Whenever the Rhodes Island moves, Operators generally use ear muffs to relieve the constant, high-intensity noise, in addition to adapt to any region she might encounter — be it blizzards in the north or thunderstorms in the south. Rhodes Island herself is already a mechanical wonder, even compared to high-speed warships. Her size and weight are comparable to a large flagship, only surpassed by Blacksteel's Fort Barron. She has a capacity limit for 2,000 onboard Operators and personnel, and available beds for more than 1,000 patients. The living quarters and crew cabins are available in single, double, and quadruple options, while the exact allocation will be provided for newly-onboard Operators by the HR Department once they receive the approval, and they will be guided by the Logistics staff. In case an Operator doesn't like or isn't used to the bumpy nature of the landship, they can also submit an application to be relocated to any of R.I.'s fixed branch offices. In addition to helipads and farms, she also has a training ground which includes at least one shooting range for the Rhodes Island paramilitary force, and several incineration (or more likely, cremation) chambers to safely dispose of terminally ill Infected R.I. personnel. Yan, formally known as Great Yan, is a Terran country located at its easternmost border, neighboring Higashi, Kazdel, and Ursus. It is an imperial monarchy ruled by an emperor titled the "True Lung”, with a large, centralized bureaucracy of mandarins operating under the Six Ministries. As a vast empire, the Lung people govern multiple races whose ancestry traces back to the Hundred Clans, united under the emperor. One of the classical nations that have existed since ancient times, Yan is well-known for its history and rich, diverse traditional culture, shaped by its extraordinary natural scenery and bustling cities that support a robust economy. The current dynasty rose in the aftermath of the Great Hunt against the godlike Feranmuts, affirming the "mandate of heaven” as belonging only to mortals. Its victory over the "gods” ushered in a long period of social stability and allowed it to remain distanced from the tumultuous Terran heartland until its opening-up in the Crystal Age. Yan balances leniency and strictness in its social governance, guided by its highly venerated legalism, or Yanlü. The government demonstrates tolerance and even endorsement of racial diversity within its borders. While its treatment of the Infected is relatively lenient, restrictions on their freedom of mobility remain in place, as is common in other nations. Though Yan has not been active in military activities thanks to its apparent stability, its military might remains formidable, owing to constant vigilance against the Feranmuts. Sui once ruled Yan among Its kin until the Great Hunt against the "deities" a few thousand years ago. In the midst of the battle, Sui, who once mocked the young Emperor, suddenly decided to betray Its kin and aided the Emperor in the battle. Its betrayal was due to Its own selfish desire to make Itself the sole god of Yan and teach the mortals the meaning of "true war." However, It was cursed by Its kin and suffered many injuries; furthermore, the True Lung punished It severely after uncovering Its true intentions. By the end of the war, the Emperor had subjugated Sui under his control. Under the Emperor's command, It scattered Itself into fragments of avatars that would later become the twelve siblings. Despite the grand victory, the shadow of Sui continues to haunt Yan in the present day. For Sui, the defeat was a humiliation, and It has long sought vengeance against the empire. As a matter of fact, some of the fragments have been working alongside the current True Lung and many pro-Feranmut factions, such as the Ministry of Rites and the Shanhaizhong, to reunite the siblings and revive Sui and other deities, one of whom is Wang. Nevertheless, the plan is frequently checked by the Sui Regulator, an institution founded to counter Sui's wrath. However, as matters have worsened across Terra, with Victoria's royal feuds and one of Leithanien's Twin Empresses being "silenced," the current Grand Tutor of Yan has secretly ordered the Candleholders to resolve this age-old issue once and for all by having the fragments imprisoned or even executed—this would allow the empire to focus on greater threats such as the northern Collapsals and the Seaborn. In the meantime, the pro-Feranmut factions have taken this opportunity to accelerate their plan. The siblings of Sui did not initially have knowledge of the hierarchy. It was the simple question, "Who am I?," that led to the formation of their own personalities. Gradually, they would evolve into individuals with different characteristics. However, if they were ever to reunite, their individual personalities would disappear altogether. Some chose to be sitting ducks and wait for the ultimate fate of their reunion while others, like Nian, chose to struggle against such a destiny.
