Beep-Boop
This charming little robot, with its slightly yellowed surface, is both simple and compact. Give its tiny head a pat, and it will recite one of the classic Hero Play lines, accompanied by adorable pixel emojis displayed on its somewhat aged monitor. This was Xiangli Yao's first creation during his student days and served as the prototype for his later inventions, Xiang-Lee and Patty. Despite being Yao's initial attempt, the robot's design, materials, and programming beautifully showcase its creator's ingenuity. Affectionately named Beep-Boop, this lovable machine eventually found a home with one of Yao's lucky classmates. From that point on, Xiangli Yao devoted much of his free time to crafting models, robots, and other fascinating gadgets for his friends. Whether in school or now at the Academy, Yao's generosity in dedicating time and effort to those around him remains a constant. His selfless nature has always been, and continues to be, an integral part of who he is.
CSC Lock Puzzle
A puzzle crafted from intricately interlocking joints, a testament to its ingenious design. It is said that such trinkets served as gifts from elder members of the Court of Savantae to their younger generations. Xiangli Yao can still recall the warmth of his father's rough fingertips as he handed him the puzzle on his birthday. Yet what truly captivated him were its complex arrangements and perplexing structures—such puzzles were what drew him into a world of intricate logic, leaving him spellbound for years to come. This was Xiangli Yao's first encounter with a puzzle, but certainly not his last.
Voice LinesThoughts: II first heard about you when my colleagues were discussing your physical. I was caught up in technical support back then, but wanted to meet you in person. Now, I am content to see that, as I predicted... you have the potential to shape Solaris-3's future in unforeseen ways.Thoughts: IIAs the child of two scholars, I was always drawn to the same path. Perhaps trying to follow in their footsteps. However, my recollections of them have blurred over time. Most of what I know about my parents comes from reading their published research and evaluations of their work by others, rather than personal memories. Their existence feels elusive to me, like a hazy dream. Yet, I am their legacy—a reflection of their brilliance, and... their madness.Thoughts: IIII like interacting with people, be it my colleagues at the Academy, or others. At times, I fear losing sight of my own humanity while chasing truth's elusive grasp... In those moments, I step away and seek solace in a bustling crowd. The laughter on their faces reminds me of the warmth of human connection.Thoughts: IVLosing my arm didn't bring as much pain as I expected. I was too consumed with excitement, finally discovering the Court of Savantae Ruins, following in my father's footsteps. The achievements I witnessed were beyond imagination. The secrets of a hidden civilization were revealed to me, their inventions harnessing the universe's echoes.Thoughts: V...Ah, it's you. Please, come in. No need to worry, I just need to recharge after all those meetings. Like a machine needing a break. Hmm? So you would like to help? Sure, please sit here. Just... stay next to me for a while. You don't need to say anything. Yes, this will do. Thank you.Xiangli Yao's HobbyWriting a report alone, after completing research, is satisfying. My scattered thoughts and inspirations come together during this time, becoming clear and organized.Xiangli Yao's TroubleDuring back-to-back academic conferences, my focus wanes and I need time to recharge. Being with peers is enjoyable, but a little solitude is necessary for me to stay sharp.Favorite FoodI love all breakfast foods. I prefer to sleep and wake up early instead of staying up late and consuming caffeine. Eating consistent breakfast portions energizes my mind quickly.Disliked FoodOh, the Sour Soy Milk… When I was a toddler, my mother once convinced me to try it. While most of my childhood memories are joyful, that particular taste was overwhelming for my young palate.IdealsThe laws of nature on Solaris have shifted under the Lament's sway, and even fundamental principles are now being questioned across all academic fields. Yet, I find the pursuit of new theories quite stimulating. Deep within the cosmos, beyond the stars, lies a vast expanse waiting to be understood. And there, amidst the barren landscape, truth awaits its discovery.Chat: IThis prosthetic arm is pretty handy, loaded with helpful features. I don't have to worry about any arm injury while working on risky experiments, and I can even pull a few pranks on my colleagues. Oh, you want examples? Well... I'll definitely show you when I get the chance.Chat: IIAmong the friends I made when I was a kid, Pascar was the one who kept in touch with me for the longest time. Certain actions, when done too late, can lead to lingering regrets. Occasionally, I contemplate how each individual is a complex enigma, similar to the countless scientific theses I have studied.About MortefiMortefi is an interesting person. He's devoted to his work with unwavering determination. It's that kind of intense drive that pushes scientists towards brilliant discoveries. I know he considers me a "genius"—but in a workplace with only "geniuses", many ideas will never be realized. My dear friend has yet to grasp his true potential.About JinhsiMagistrate Jinhsi has been paying close attention to the battles against Tacet Discords. She often visits the Academy to learn about our latest progress in weapons development. During those visits, she always seems tense. I understand the pressure and weight she carries, with all the promises and expectations placed on her shoulders...About JiyanThe Midnight Rangers bring valuable insights on Tacet Discords from their years of combat experience. General Jiyan has shared his extensive knowledge and new ideas with us. He possesses a gentle and just nature, but what truly sets him apart is his composure. This is essential for someone in his position.About AaltoAalto once approached me with an offer from the Black Shores, but I declined. Life at the Academy suits me well. Though his manner may seem unserious, Aalto has a sharp eye for valuable information and connections for rare materials. I've frequently relied on his services.About BaizhiBaizhi is a great researcher. Our work doesn't often overlap, but I've read her reports and they're well-informed and persuasive. She often participates in field research, earning her a reputation among peers for bringing back valuable data.Birthday WishesHappy birthday. Please, extend your hand. With the Lament crisis stalling our deep space exploration, our understanding of the galaxy has been limited. But this... See?

Please let me offer my new creation as a gift. It wouldn't exist without you.Ascension: IIIIt's interesting. Your feedback reminds me of the texts I found in the Court of Savantae Ruins. Their ideology is fascinating and enigmatic, almost as if it came from the stars in outer space.Ascension: IVI'm headed to test the new combat techniques I've learned. Care to join me? It's time to put theory into practice. I believe I have reached a critical point, and overcoming it will bring a new horizon.Ascension: VThe pursuit of truth is a rocky path to tread. Some stumble and push forward, others lament their weariness, and a few may even turn back. Our ranks thin as we near the ultimate goal. But Rover... Though you blaze your own trail, I know you are always with us, guiding the truthseekers forward.Resonance Skill: IDisruption.Resonance Skill: IIReconfiguration!Resonance Skill: IIIExploit primed!Resonance Liberation: IAll shall reveal itself.Resonance Liberation: IIPierce through the stars.Resonance Liberation: IIIVerity confined within limits.Intro & Outro SkillsVariable elimination!Hit: IMiscalculation.Hit: II(Effort Sounds)Hit: III(Effort Sounds)Injured: I(Effort Sounds)Injured: IIRisk level increasing.Injured: IIIDamage...
