Revision 2

Skia is a fierce wolf-man Esper and member of ETD-4 (Emergency Team Division 4) at the Bureau of Anomaly Control in Neverness to Everness. He serves alongside Captain Baicang, Fadia, and Lacrimosa as a professional suppressor specializing in shadow manipulation.

Appearance

Skia has a distinctive wolf-like appearance with sharp claws and teeth. His design emphasizes his predatory nature and combat prowess as a wolf-man Esper.

Personality

Skia is described as 'serious and tough' in the game's promotional materials. His disciplined demeanor contrasts with the more chaotic personalities of his ETD-4 teammates like Fadia and Lacrimosa. He takes his role as a suppressor seriously and focuses on clean, efficient takedowns.

Combat Style

Skia is a stealth chaser who uses shadow manipulation for non-physical takedowns. He tears through enemies with sharp claws and teeth, transforming into an ink-black shadow form to slip through foes and deal damage.

His abilities include Arresting Art, which performs 5 consecutive martial arts attacks where each hit spawns a Fang Thrust projectile. Shadow Hound Chase allows him to gain the 'Tailed' status and leap into shadow form, dealing Lakshana damage in an area while spawning Fang Thrusts per hit.

In Shadow Hound and Gnaw modes, Skia can move undetected through ground and walls while gaining various immunities. His ultimate ability, 'The Pack,' delivers massive area damage and control effects while boosting his Fang damage. The ultimate is ignited using his signature Zippo lighter, setting his shadow form ablaze.

Role in ETD-4

As part of ETD-4, Skia responds to major Anomaly threats throughout Hethereau and beyond. In the opening animation 'Hypervortex Before the Storm,' he travels to New Helios alongside Fadia and Lacrimosa to deal with a catastrophic Hypervortex emergence.
