Jayber: The Genius Engineer
Are geniuses born or made? A natural engineer, there are many hypotheses about the origin of Jayber's ability to wield Arche specialized in electronic warfare. One hypothesis claims that the infectious disease he suffered during his childhood stimulated his cerebral cortex, leading to a dramatic increase in intelligence. Another one claims that the drug administered to treat the infectious disease was actually an experiment conducted by the Magisters to mass produce Arche… Despite the unfounded rumors that continue to go around to this day, he himself had no desire to learn the truth. The reason being, as merely a unit in the war, the origin of his ability was unimportant to him.
For Jayber, who was born in an infectious disease isolation ward, the life support device that let him sleep comfortably and sang nursery rhymes to him was practically his parent. Jayber grew up having a deep connection with this life support device. When he turned 10 years old, he was able to modify the device himself to connect to an external network and study the world… The moment Jayber was connected to the real world, he was able to understand why the life support device was against connecting to the network. The world was not the happy place that Jayber had dreamed of. It was constantly being plagued by invaders called the Vulgus and threatening entities called the Colossi. He was raised by the Magisters to become a weapon of war, a Descendant with the power of Arche, to combat these threats.
After coming into contact with reality, Jayber gave up on his hopes and dreams; instead, he began to think of himself as a necessary unit for war. Even after becoming an official Descendant, this attitude did not change, and his teammates were no fans of this Descendant who was no different from a machine. However, none of this mattered to Jayber. Geniuses are neither born nor made… Because they, too, are just a unit.
Exclusive Equipment, Arche-Sensitive Electronic Network System
Developed to fully utilize Jayber's ability to send and receive electronic signals using his Arche, this system is a formidable electronic warfare device designed to collect all electronic signals within the range of Jayber's Arche and relay them directly to his brainwaves, allowing his response time to be less than 0 ms. In particular, due to their unique versatility and responsiveness, dedicated turrets utilizing this system are used in various battle missions. The use of multi-purpose guns that amplify Arche signals gives him an advantage, even against large groups of Vulgus.
"Anais, the exterior of these dedicated turrets is going to look exactly like the life support system I was on when I was a kid."
