Story[]

Background[]

Reimi was born in the aftermath of World War III to the prestigious Saionji family on Earth. Her parents serve as board members of the Space Development Division of the Universal Science and Technology Administration. A few years before her birth, her father discovered a lost genome in DNA samples from an ancient Muah sarcophagus (discovered by Arnold Maverick's team) that had the potential to help them produce individuals highly resistant and adaptable to harsh environments.

Due to humanity facing likely extinction, the government authorized Project Hope to be carried out through the cooperation of Dr. Maverick, Dr. Saionji, and the Almedio conglomerate. Reimi was thus one of the project's subjects, experimented upon before her birth. Her enhanced genes gave her exceptional environmental adaptation and cell-regeneration abilities.

Reimi was unaware of her status as a "Seed of Hope" until a childhood incident in 2086 A.D., when she was eight years old. During the incident, radiation poisoning killed every one of her friends except her, as her enhanced immune system was able to adapt to it, though not immediately. The reaction from others at the scene—the parents of the deceased saying she should have died instead—traumatized her. Reimi thus learned the truth behind her birth, but resolved never to tell anyone, not even fellow subjects Edge Maverick.

When Edge was orphaned, Reimi's mother asked Reimi to look after him. Like Edge and their senior and friend Crowe F. Almedio, Reimi underwent special training at the rigorous USTA Academy and passed an examination in order to join the inaugural Space Reconnaissance Force secret program. The three are selected for the inaugural SRF team. Reimi was assigned to the SRF-003 Calnus alongside Edge, while Crowe was named captain of the Aquila.

Travels[]

In Reimi's ending (shown if the player has enough affinity with her), Edge and Reimi are shown together on the new Transportation-Calnus two years after the events on Nox Obscurus. Wondering what their friends are up to, Edge assures her that they'll meet them again one day. After all, they're bound too, traveling across the universe together with each other. Reimi takes Edge's hand, and says that she'll be with him forever, no matter what happens, or what he says. Edge takes Reimi's hand back and nods, holding hands the two face the front of the ship, as Edge declares to the star ocean their advancement. It is hinted at that Edge and Reimi are either engaged or married as rings can be seen on their fingers during the scene.

Profile[]

Reimi is demure, level-headed and dutiful, and is always quick to look out after those around her. Described as having literary and martial talent, she has mastered both Western and Asian forms of archery as a curiosity. Reimi usually wears a bright, constant smile, but privately she has a low self-image and is unable to accept herself, product of a childhood trauma related to her genetic abilities. She doesn't complain about her problems, bearing the burden of her birth by herself, while steadfastly restraining and supporting Edge. Despite everything, she simply wants to live a peaceful married family life like everyone else.
