Story
Once an Exostrider Synchronist of Rabelle College, she is now a digital ghost who sings quietly amongst stars.
[Retrieved from the Spacetrek Collective Archive: Startorch Academy - Student Records] [Resonance Ability Assessment Report RA2362-G] Student Name: Aemeath Synchronist Qualification: Affirmative Forte Overview: Tests reveal a Rabelle's Curve with a steady upward trend, converging into a stable oscillatory state. Based on current parameters, the subject is classified as a Natural Resonator. Her Tacet Mark is located in the thoracic region. According to pre-admission personal records and the subject's own account, the individual ▇▇▂▇▋▌▏▉█... Okay, so this report doesn't hold much reference value anymore. It's totally outdated. It's talking about me when I still had a body. Let me set the record straight. At present, I'm already the Exostrider's Synchronist. My Tacet Mark has changed, compared to before. Now it isn't the most... stable. As for my abilities, I can manifest an Exostrider Armament and synchronize with it directly. Translation—Yes, I get to transform! And because I like fighting efficiently, I programmed a custom autopilot feature for the unit. Current simulation results are looking good. Lets me paint the whole battlefield with lightshow-level laser coverage. Oh, and the digital ghost thing lets me slip into any data system. Not sure if that's really part of my Forte or just a perk of my unique Resonance condition... ▇▉▇▇▂▇ <i>"That's odd... why is this student's file corrupted? It's nothing but data errors."</i> <i>"The missing Synchronist? I see... Report it to President Lucilla."</i>
Space Fantasy: Katya VI is an absolute classic among players across Solaris. Renowned for its immersive RPG experience and refined combat system, the game invites players to step into the journey of a lone hero who recruits a diverse cast of companions to stand against the universe's encroaching evil. Beyond its epic narrative and battles, Aemeath's personal favorite is an easter-egg mini-game. After clearing the main story, she would often return to it, playing together with her family in their cabin. <i>"Haha! Look at me, I'm No. 1 in that block-stacking leaderboard!"</i>
When the hands covering Aemeath's eyes lifted, a small box lay waiting before her. Her four friends gathered around her, smiling brightly and urging her to open it. Inside rested a miniature Exostrider figurine. The young Synchronists chirped excitedly like a flock of little birds as they wished her a happy birthday. They hoped she would become the one to successfully pilot the Exostrider one day, that they would all make it to the true starry sky together. Aemeath's lips parted as if to respond, but in the end, she kept the wish cradled in her heart to herself. Gently, she brushed a finger over the gift. Then she stood and, with a radiant smile, threw her arms around her friends.
Aemeath sat on the roof of an Academy building, quietly enjoying the breeze. She had folded countless paper planes, but she always remembered the very first one from the cabin. Afternoon light streamed through the window, the cold wind and snow held firmly at bay outside. Only the crackle of the hearth fire filled the air, mingling with the hearty aroma of stew simmering for dinner. Beside her, the one she called family deftly folded a plane for her, one meant to fly far. Aemeath looked up and saw {Male=him;Female=her} smiling as {Male=he;Female=she} offered the finished plane to her. The scene faded into the haze of memory, leaving only the Academy's landscape before her once more. With a faint smile, Aemeath released her newly-folded paper plane into the wind.
