name: Niamh Muireann

occupation: a fisherman of the backstreets of U corp
lore: (pre smoke war) Niamh Muireann grew up in the backstreets of T Corp in a family of five. She later joined the smoke war with the promise of getting in the nest and reduced time debt. (during smoke war) Everyday, during the war, she saw nothing but the smoke, other soldiers and the trenches flooded in blood. One day, the trench that she was in broke. The trench was flooded with G Corp soldiers in seconds. There were simply too many to defend against, they had to fallback to the secondary line. Yet during the retreat, Niamh and her partners were surrounded by a large number of G Corp soldiers. Her partners fought to clear a line for her to retreat, claiming that they would have a better chance of surviving in combat compared to her. However, when Niamh turned back after reaching the fallback line, she saw the last remaining partner of her team detonate a time bomb, taking a few G Corp soldiers with him while others were already dead. Watching her partners sacrificing themselves has caused survivor's guilt to develop. (post smoke war) Niamh managed to survive the war, but her partners sacrificed themselves to help her retreat to the logistics department and avoid the battle despite being able to abandon her and leave, which led her to inherit their will to protect the weak as a memorial to them along with PTSD. She returned to T Corp via bus after the war. However, due to the fall of L Corp, there was not enough energy for the bus to go on, therefore she had to travel on foot starting from the backstreets of K corp. During the walk in the backstreets of K corp, the survivor’s guilt brought despair and bewilderment, which attracted the voice of Carmen. “It's heavy, isn't it? the weight of those lives, those that were sacrificed for your selfish desire to survive. But how is that wrong? Wanting to survive is a natural thing for everyone,” said Carmen, “They're dead, and the dead won't care about your guilt, your loneliness, or even whether you have someone waiting. Come on, show the City how lonely it really is without them.” With careful thought, Niamh remembered the promise made by the nest, the one that would improve her and her family’s lives. “No,” Niamh said, “you are wrong. There are my brothers and parents who are waiting for me at home, waiting for their lives to be changed. ”. Rejecting the will of Carmen, Niamh awakened her E.G.O(explained later). Despite the war having ended and her return to T corp backstreets, the promise was broken. She didn't get into the nest and was rejected for joining the smoke war, nor did she get reduced time debt. When she returned home, she saw the remains of her family. The bodies were covered with cuts. It's clear that they were tortured to death by the Kurokumo clan for owing too much dept. Having no hopes to be seen left in T Corp, she decided to leave T Corp and went to the backstreets of U Corp to complete a will of her partner, which is to take care of his only daughter named Laetitia Laelia Liviana who lives in the backstreets of U Corp. After Niamh found her, she realized that if she didn’t find the girl, the girl would become an orphan of the backstreets. Niamh soon calmed Laetitia down and gained trust from her by showing an amulet from Laetitia’s father. Under Laetitia's recommendation, Niamh later got accepted as a part of a small team of fishermen. One night on the boat, Niamh woke up from a nightmare, one filled with screams of terror and fear, and cries of her partners telling her to leave and run away. Woken up from the nightmare, she wandered onto the deck. Upon reaching the side of the deck, she saw a small boat not large enough to fit even a child. In the boat is nothing but a hilt. She then reeled the boat onto the deck and retrieved the hilt. The hilt is the hilt of the Tianzui Star blade.
E.G.O: the sole survivor: temporarily rewind the status to the best state she has ever been, but damage still adds up during this period and will die instantly after a certain threshold depending on how much damage is rewinded(the more damage rewinded, the lower the threshold)
Equipment 1: the Tianzui Star blade, this blade is just a physical hilt, the blade itself is made from a transparent liquid which is converted from shan. (passive ability: the blade judges what the welder has done and gives 1 shan for each good deed and 1 zui for each bad deed. shan is a slight buff in all aspects, zui is a slight debuff in all aspects, 1 shan cancels out 1 zui) (active ability for welder: can convert 1 shan into 250ml of transparent liquid and shape it freely at the cost of sanity, the more complex the shape is, the more sanity it costs to sustain.)
Equipment 2: a harpoon used to defend against the mermaids of the great lake, nothing special
