Arknights: Endfield

Terra is a distant planet, the home of the present civilization on Talos-II — yet the relationship between these two worlds is profoundly complex.

In the distant past, the ancestors of Terran Civilization originally inhabited Talos-II, later venturing to Terra where they built a glorious civilization amidst Catastrophes. One hundred and fifty-two years ago, they crossed through the Cosmic Gate once more, returning from Terra to Talos-II. While most celebrated this as "Paving the Way", those few who knew the historical truth would whisper another term for it — "The Homecoming".

Terra stands as the primordial birthplace of Originium, where the "Prime Veins" first emerged and vast crystalline clusters dominate the landscape. Its resource abundance dwarfs anything found on present-day Talos-II.

From the moment humanity first crossed the Cosmic Gate, scholars have tirelessly attempted to determine the celestial relationship between Terra and Talos-II through comparative astrometrics, searching the skies of Talos-II for any trace of their lost homeworld. Yet to this day, such research has made no conclusive evidence to pinpoint Terra's location among the stars.

Talos-II is a natural satellite of the gas giant named Talos[2].

The poineers of Terra re-opened the Æthergate and first stepped foot upon this moon 152 years ago. Talos-II has a nitrogen-rich atmosphere, enough oxygen for life, and sufficient greenhouse gases to keep it warm. However, the alien sun and the massive gas giant that looms in the skies are constant reminders for the pioneers of the countless light-years that exist between their current location and their distant homes.

Fortunately, the great mountain ranges, crisscrossing river system, and rich vegetation cover gave rise to a rather resilient biosphere. After the Æthergate collapsed, the Terrans survived on Talos-II for well over a century. Natural resources have been essential to supporting the livelihood of local populations. For generations, the stranded Terrans and their descendants built and expanded various outposts and towns across this new world, and created footholds for civilizations.

Endfield Industries is an independent, pioneering technology and industrial corporation tasked with surveying, building, and expanding human civilization across the dangerous planet Talos-II. Founded by partners including Rhodes Island, the company focuses on Originium-based technology, resource automation, and overworld infrastructure development to secure a future in an untamed world.

Endfield acts as a specialized logistics and development firm designed to make the hostile environment of Talos-II habitable. The company is dedicated to the "Zeroth Directive," which involves comprehensive colonization and overcoming ecological threats.

Endfield is known for developing the Automated Industry Complex (AIC), which allows for the rapid deployment of factories and automated production lines.

The company operates the OMV Dijiang, a unique orbital spaceship that serves as the central headquarters and hub for the player's operations.

Beyond construction, Endfield handles geological surveys, resource extraction, and defending the frontier from threats like the Blight.

In the recorded history of Talos-II, the Endministrator stands as a key guardian who protected civilization on this planet and saved humanity from multiple catastrophic disasters. The Endmin's heroic deeds have given rise to many stories, tales, and even rumors.

A reserved and highly capable leader, the Endministrator serves as the operational head of Endfield Industries’ frontier efforts on Talos-II. Awakening from long-term hibernation with no memory of their past, they nonetheless display exceptional combat instincts and strategic judgment that suggest a far more complicated history.

On the battlefield, the Endministrator fights at close range, combining disciplined swordsmanship with steady battlefield awareness. Their calm demeanor under pressure makes them a reliable anchor for any squad, capable of holding the line while directing broader operations.

Despite their composed exterior, many within the organization treat the Endministrator with a mixture of trust and caution. Records and rumors alike imply they have played a decisive role in past planetary crises — though the details remain classified or forgotten.

The Endministrator's mysterious mastery over Originium and the Protocol Network, along with the Endmin's need for periodic long-term hibernation, is one of Endfield's most important secrets.

Calm, observant, and quietly authoritative. They speak little but act decisively, giving the impression of deep experience beneath their amnesia. Dependable and composed under pressure, they carry an air of mystery that keeps others slightly on edge.

Unlike many inhabitants of Terra, the Endministrator appears to be a normal human, with no animal ears, tails, or horns. Wears a futuristic, tactical, and slightly bulky outfit, often featuring a white/light-colored, heavily armored coat over a dark bodysuit.

OMV Dijiang is a massive, stationary spacecraft orbiting Talos-II, acting as the main headquarters and residential area for Endfield Industries. It is an Originium-powered vessel (Originium-powered Multi-surface Vessel) serving as the hub for managing operators, resources, and logistical operations.

It houses the Protocol-Originium core, powering the Tele-Protocol (TP) and Automated Industry Complex (AIC), making it crucial for technical operations

Originium is an energy-rich, black, semi-transparent crystalline mineral that acts as the foundational resource for technology, survival, and "Arts" on the planet Talos-II. While it serves as the primary source of industrial power, it is also highly hazardous, causing a dangerous, crystallizing disease known as Oripathy. Originium possesses exceptional energy density and can be refined or combusted directly to power civilization.

It is the basis for all industrial production on Talos-II, including "Originium boilers" and advanced machinery. It enables the use of Arts—specialized, often magical, abilities used for combat and utility.

Originium possesses exceptional energy density and can be refined or combusted directly to power civilization.

Oripathy is a dangerous, incurable, and progressive disease caused by exposure to Originium, a mineral powering technology on the planet Talos-II. While often fatal, it is treatable in Endfield via modern suppressants, acting more like a manageable, chronic condition than an immediate death sentence.

When Originium particles enter the bloodstream (via inhalation or contact), they assimilate with tissues, causing Oripathy. This disease causes severe illness, genetic mutations, and, in advanced stages, results in the body partially crystallizing.

In Endfield, the disease is managed with specialized "Oripathy Suppressants," which alleviate symptoms and prevent the body from turning entirely into crystal.

Originium Arts or simply Arts is the umbrella term for abilities to manipulate and transform matter and energy using the power provided by Originium in the world of Arknights. It is the primary "magic system" or, more appropriately, "super science system".

Elemental bases: Heat (fire), Cryo (Ice), Electric and Nature.

the Æther (often referred to as the Ætherside) is a central, mysterious element tied to a dangerous, overlapping dimension. It acts as a source of corruption, a power source, and a primary threat on the planet Talos-II.

An alternate, chaotic dimension that overlaps with realspace, particularly in areas with high "depth" readings.

Landbreakers are violent, nomadic raider gangs and warbands operating outside the Civilization Band on Talos-II. They are adept at surviving the harsh wilderness, making a living through robbery, scavenging, and banditry. Often depicted as cruel, they are a primary antagonist force hindering industrial expansion, with major groups including the Bonekrushers, Pack, and Sandreavers.

The concept originated with Jakub Meissen, a former hero who became a warlord 90 years after the settlers arrived on Talos-II, creating a massive raider army.

They act as an opposing force to Endfield Industries, with major clans sometimes using specialized equipment or methods linked to the Blight.

Unlike many inhabitants of Talos-II, they appear to be almost entirely human in form, lacking common beast-like features such as horns, tails, or animal ears. They are characterized by strange, alien-like wires or cables attached to their bodies, particularly around the eye area. Their attire is rugged and scavenged, often featuring "weird" or unique helmets and functional, industrial-style armor. Their aesthetic has been compared to vampiric or "blood-sucker" tropes, further emphasizing an eerie, inhuman quality despite their human shape.

Nefarith is the enigmatic, leather-clad leader of the Bonekrushers clan, known for her aggressive, high-threat raids. She transforms average raiders into a dangerous force, wielding advanced combat skills, potential ties to Aggeloi forces, and a mysterious, intimidating demeanor.

She uses "hazefyre", a gas that enhances physical strength but causes neurotoxic/hallucinogenic effects.

Medium-length dark magenta / wine-purple hair, slightly messy but intentional, the bangs fall unevenly across her forehead. Bright crimson-pink eyes with a sharp, confident glint. Long, pointed ears, angled slightly outward. Wears a tight, black tactical bodysuit with a semi-gloss finish. Shoulder armor with sharp, angular plating. Buckled straps across the chest and shoulders and a high collar.

Dominant, composed, and self-assured. A subtle, crooked smirk—confident, teasing, and faintly mocking.

The Blight is a hazardous, otherworldly phenomenon on Talos-II that manifests as fluorescent, color-shifting "Active Blight" (including floods/tides) and, later, "Static Blight". It acts as a form of environmental, temporal, and spatial destruction—capable of erasing or altering matter. It stems from the planet's hazardous environment, sometimes transforming flora, and can be neutralised by Xiranite

Hazefyre is a dangerous, mysterious gaseous material to the Blight, used by the Bonekrusher faction to enhance physical strength while causing hallucinations and neurotoxicity. It corrupts creatures and soldiers, inducing extreme aggression and insanity.

It twists creatures and enemies, making them stronger but insane, temporarily boosting strength.

Catello Wulfgard Luppino is member of the Landbreaker clan known as The Pack, a Landbreaker mercenary living on the fringes of the Civilization Band, now serving on the Crisis Team at Endfield Industries. Despite his youth, Wulfgard is already well-acquainted with the ficklest nature of humanity. But rather than breaking him, those experiences have given him a maturity far beyond his age. He doesn't seek conflicts, and when in doubt, he prefers to avoid direct confrontation. He is also skilled in stealth and recon combat operations. To complete his mission, the mercenary can even travel with his foes and deal the lethal strike when the enemies least expect it.

CODENAME: Rossi GENDER: Female AUTHENTICATION: The Pack DOB: March 10 RACE: Lupo WEAPON: Sword ORIGINIUM ARTS: Heat AGE: 13-15 years old.

Rossina, younger sister of Wulfgard and the Pearl of the Pack. In a feud between the Pack and the Bonekrushers, many elder wolves paid a bloody price to rescue her. The blood that day stained her swaddling blanket red...

Wulfgard operates independently from the clan for years, but the Pack required a leader, and Rossi accepted that responsibility. She has always felt that her brother, who rose to fame at a young age, should be the one leading the entire Pack, and she constantly reminds and urges him to do so. While the elders of the clan hope Rossi can spend more time doing what she loves at her age, she ultimately cannot lift the weight of "responsibility" from her heart. She strives to become more reliable and powerful for the sake of her family and her clan.

Rossi, who longs for heroic tales, occasionally fantasizes that one day she will be able to fight alongside a legendary hero. This is the bit of "me time" she reserves for herself.

She's normally very confident and headstrong, but becomes shy around the Endministrator.

She is Italian, and often speaks Italian.

Years of guidance from Da Pan have honed his spear-fighting skills, arming him for his pursuit of justice.

CODENAME: Laevatain GENDER: Female AUTHENTICATION: Rhodes Island DOB: Unknown RACE: Sarkaz WEAPON: Sword ORIGINIUM ARTS: Heat AGE: Unknown–but over 18

Laevatain is a Rhodes Island operator who joined Endfield at the Endministrator's direct recommendation. Under the framework agreement between the two companies, she serves as an operator directly under the Endministrator's command. Before joining Endfield Industries, Laevatain roamed the world alone, pursuing a goal she could call her own. Because of that journey, and her formidable skill in solo combat, people often mistake her for "someone you can't talk to." In truth, the opposite is closer to reality. It's only that her earnest, forthright nature sometimes comes across too strongly, giving rise to misunderstanding. At times, though, she speaks in ways that confound others, often circling back to the subject of "memory," as if she were purposefully trying to separate herself from who she is.

She often wields flames, yet craves ice cream just as much. To her, maybe that contradiction feels perfectly natural.

Laevatain is a reconvener, described as a "Ser" or clone created from data left behind by the original Sarkaz operator Surtr. Unlike other reconveners, she has "delusional memories"—a chaotic mix of experiences that are not truly her own. She journeys through a memory-constructed space searching for her identity, grappling with fractured, non-original memories and a sentient sword, ultimately deciding to forge her own future rather than dwelling on lost pasts.

More often than not, she simply sits in the corner with a faint smile, leaving others with the unsettling sense that every flaw has already been laid bare under her gaze. But don't mistake her for empathetic. Fluorite's knack for reading people gives her exceptional instincts on the battlefield, but also leaves her dangerously good at stirring people up with just a few words — making her the team's most unpredictable source of trouble.

Her outfit is a skin-tight suit, which fits the trend of some Endfield operators having highly stylized, form-fitting, or even "leotard-style" outfit. She is often described as having a "sneaky" or "cunning" look. Green hair and green eyes. Long green scales tail.

Shaped by their teachings, the young Nachzehrer refused to disturb the dead, resisting her instinct to feed.
