Coriolis "Cori" Sunset is a follower of Devotion and enthusiastic Blue Channel crew member.

Appearance

Coriolis is a "tiny girl with pink hair", about 21 or 22 years old. At some point in her young life she grew three sets of small angel wings: one on her back, one on her head, and one on her arms. Her flight suit is purple, with a design mimicking the human nervous system.

Personality

Cori is cheerful, earnest, and excitable. She frequently rushes headlong into combat and seems to be honoured when her captain tells her she's done a good job.

She's a big fan of romantic period dramas with lots of pining. When it's her turn for movie night she picks one that she's watched 36 times, and she's dejected when Hunt doesn't like it.

Tenets

• You are a shield. Leave none undefended while you still stand.
• You are a sword. Strike down our adversaries with impunity.
• You are a beacon. Your first priority is to spread the reach of Devotion, no matter the cost.

Hooks

• I need to be stronger no matter what.

History and Involvement

Cori originally hails from the Twilight Mirage. A lot of her family lives on Palisade, including her father who resides in the Isle of the Broken Key.

Cori is a recent addition to the crew of the Blue Channel. Her first combat engagement alongside the crew takes place during the mission to find the Fundament node at the bottom of the Diadem.

After being severed from the power of Devotion during a fight, Cori accidentally kills her own father.

Relationships

Devotion

Cori was raised in the Cult of Devotion and is a devout follower. She is Devotion's beacon.

That is, until she fails to build a church in Baseline after Devotion challenges her to do so, and Devotion judges that she is no longer its beacon. Mechanically, this means removing the relevant Tenet and losing one Channel permanently.

Griesel Sunset

Griesel Sunset is Cori's father. She loves him and wants to make him proud. He texts Cori about once a week; occasionally he'll use an exclamation mark when he says "good job" but usually not.

Kalvin Brnine

Coriolis seems to have some hero worship for her captain, Kalvin Brnine.

Elle Evensong

Elle Evensong is Cori's rival. She blames Elle for the death of her father.

Gravity clocks

• Kriminel seems receptive to my words; I should see what Devotion means to her.
• The Captain makes everybody in the crew so welcome.
• Mr. Figure in Bismuth: A gloom hangs over Figure. I bet I can help.
• Unspecified rival clock with Elle Evensong
• Thisbe doesn't have the stomach for command.

Mech

Cori pilots a Chariot Mk II, which, like others of the same model, takes its power from the blessing of Devotion. It does not have another name and is simply called Chariot Mk II. Cori controls it using her own halo.

The Chariot Mk II can go into overdrive by draining Cori of her blood. This is part of what it means to harness Devotion's power.

After her father's funeral she calls her eldest brother, Formido, who works in the Devotees' R&D department, to request a new mech. This new mech, the Paramerion, makes its debut in An Impossible Ideal.
