Touch

Rhodes Island Elite Medic Operator Touch is an expert on botany and medicine and possesses a high aptitude for a rare form of Originium Arts.
Per Rhodes Island's resolution, she is on a long term mission as the leader of a field squad, primarily in charge of Oripathy aid and medical investigation missions.

Imaging tests show the indistinct outlines of internal organs, obscured by abnormal shadows. Originium granules detected in the circulatory system. The subject is confirmed to be infected with Oripathy.

As an Oripathy researcher, Touch is in charge of her own condition. Only members with high clearance may request temporary access to her medical files during regular examinations.

A Leithanian from a traditionalist Caster family, Touch is one of Rhodes Island's most important medical operators.
She is primarily in charge of medical field operations, and while she is out on her missions, she also compiles unique Oripathy cases for us from all across Terra.
She was born with a rare kind of Originium Arts that can revert any material into its original form, and to follow through with this gift, she became a botany lecturer at a young age. As she progressed with her research, however, she reached a bottleneck. Pressured on both sides by self-denial and her academy's requirements, she became reckless and added an excessive amount of liquid Originium to her research, unfortunately infecting herself in the process. Thus, she lost her right to join the Spire.
Having hit rock bottom, Touch came across Columbian theories of life science, and certain viewpoints in the field provided the perfect confirmation of her research. As such, she headed to Columbia and studied modern medical theory from scratch. Then, with Maylander's sponsorship, she took up research into Oripathy. It was during this time that she met Kal'tsit.
Years later, Kal'tsit invited Touch to join Babel, but she refused, as she did not want to be involved in political conflicts. After Rhodes Island's foundation, Kal'tsit once again extended her an offer. Approving of its ideals, she formally became a Rhodes Island medic operator and assisted Kal'tsit in forming the foundations of the company's Medical Department.
