Aimi is a woman of few but intense gestures. Extremely calm, almost imperturbable in her professional routine, but she carries a sharp sarcasm and a dark humor that appear when least expected. She is quite reserved, introverted and does not know how to deal well with affection or emotional exposure. However, she is incredibly loyal and protective of those who earn her trust.

He likes to scare his allies just for fun.

Fan of video games, horror culture and dark stories.

He has an unintentional comic tendency with his inattention to indirect or double meanings.

Avoids superficial romantic attachments — only feels attraction when there is a true connection.

Internally, he deals with fear of abandonment and trauma from the Wendigo attack.

Despite her comical phobia of “CLT employment”, she is one of the most committed and efficient agents at VÉRTICE.

Reserved, introspective and calm, with a dry and acidic sense of humor.

She has difficulty expressing emotions, but is protective of those she trusts.

Famous for her sarcasm and phrases like: “If you die, I will resurrect you just to kill you again for being stupid.”

He often scares teammates with his light footsteps and comical love of organized chaos.

Despite her serious appearance, she is romantic, charming and likes to flirt subtly, although she is demisexual and bisexual, only getting involved with those she really bonds with.

Addicted to horror media, electronic games and everything that involves "staying quiet without CLT around".

Born in the countryside of Montana, USA, Aimi was an ordinary, quiet and introverted woman who worked in an office. Her life changed completely when, while trying to help a child who was screaming for help in a forest, she fell into an ambush: the voice was, in fact, a decoy used by a Wendigo. During her escape attempt, she had her right arm cut off by the creature, and managed to hide in a narrow opening between mountains.

Inside, she found an ancient, illuminated chamber with a glaive sealed by golden chains. With no choice, she wielded it, and immediately an entity dormant within the weapon awoke. The creature took control of her body, annihilating the Wendigo. Upon awakening, Aimi saw the brutal scene before her and realized that her arm had been replaced by a new, parasitic limb, with living, black scales—a gift from the entity.

The entity, an "artificial god" sealed away millennia ago, revealed that he had tried to isolate himself so as not to succumb to the madness that had befallen his species. But, upon seeing Aimi's bravery, he decided to help her — and, for the first time, call someone "friend."

Spiritual Appearance: Tall man with long, fair hair, ethereal skin, and nebula-like glowing eyes. Wears dark robes with a full mask or ornate helmet.

Personality: Educated, cultured, elegant and protective. Suffers from existential crises and traumas of his species (artificial demigods corrupted by arrogance and madness).

Relationship with Aimi: A mix of guardian, mentor, advisor… and partner. She is the one who anchors him to sanity — and he is the one who saves her when she breaks.

The glaive houses a once-human creature, now an artificial demigod, cursed with ancient trauma. Many of its kind have gone mad, believing themselves to be higher deities. This entity, however, has chosen self-isolation—until it meets Aimi.

He is wise, protective, but unstable, with occasional bursts of killer instinct.

Aimi is the only one capable of bringing him back to sanity with her presence and her voice.

The two share a rare bond of mutual respect and affection.

Thanks to the living glaive and symbiotic arm, UmbraGlaive has:

Superhuman strength, speed and reflexes.

Shadow Control: Can camouflage, travel through shadows, create weapons or extend limbs from them.

Blood Manipulation: Useful for curse seals or weakening enemies.

Energy manipulation and dark illusions.

Night vision: Your eyes glow in the dark.

Summon extra shadow blades from the glaive or its shadow.

Accelerated regeneration, especially in the symbiotic arm.

Connection to the Entity: She can, at critical moments, allow the entity to partially take control, drastically increasing its lethality — but also risking a surge of that force's primal essence.

Today, Aimi serves as UmbraGlaive, a support and precision strike member in the VERTEX. Despite her cold appearance and solitary nature, she is extremely loyal, hard-working, and strategic. Her introversion often hides a kind heart and sharp wit.

Status among heroes: Respected, but considered “the weird one of the group” who appears out of nowhere, disappears out of nowhere and says phrases that leave you wondering whether they were jokes or threats.

“The shadow is not evil… it is only what remains when everyone turns their face to the light.”

“My life was so boring that even losing my arm became a resume.”

“Don’t talk shit around me… or my glaive will correct you with a period.”
