Viessa: The Cold-Blooded Hunter
Hailing from Albion's underbelly, Viessa was a runner for a smuggling gang that brought in banned goods from the old, abandoned lands. During those years, Viessa was known for her ability to bring in items that were more luxurious and expensive than what the other gang members brought in.
Viessa's sphere of activity was a city that was frozen a century ago by a Colossus called the Dead Bride. The place was eerie, filled with frozen corpses and the fallen Colossus, but items deemed expensive have been preserved, remaining intact. Moreover, because of the cold, the other gang members couldn't even get near it. But for her, it was her own paradise; she couldn't understand why everyone would shiver so much in the cold.
But this paradise turned into a cold hell overnight. The Colossus Dead Bride, which was thought to be destroyed, was simply lying dormant, and the slight change in temperature caused by Viessa's presence awakened it. In the end, Viessa was forced to fight the Colossus. She was barely able to defeat it, thanks in part to the Descendant Corps, who joined her and were deployed after an anomalous energy generation had been detected. Of course, their encounter was awkward, to say the least.
5 years? 10 years? Viessa let out a frosty sigh as she contemplated her sentence in the Albion prison, but for the second time that day, she experienced something she never thought would happen in her life. Her sentence? To join the Descendant Corps. Viessa's peculiarities piqued the interest of the Magisters, who conducted an Arche Factor Test on her and discovered that she was indeed a Descendant.
For the first time in her life, Viessa broke out in a cold sweat, but quickly regained her composure.
Become a Descendant? Beats being in a prison. No biggie, let's give it a shot.
Exclusive Equipment, Arche Refrigerant Release Drone
The Arche Refrigerant Release Drone is a battle sub-system modified specifically for Viessa. It uses thermal sensors to automatically track down and attack the Vulgus who become colder than their surroundings, i.
E. enemies that have been attacked by Viessa.
The drone is linked to Viessa's Arche; when Viessa uses her abilities, the drone is summoned automatically.
Various drone technologies have been researched to enhance Viessa's battle capabilities. The very first fruit of such efforts was the Arche Refrigerant Release Drone. Since then, it became possible to link the Arche of other Descendants to dedicated drones and turrets, and Viessa would sometimes joke that she was what started the Arche drone technology.
"That's why I told you not to let your guard down.
Once I freeze you, my drone will start attacking you. Until you're dead."
