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

Appearance

Coriolis is a "tiny girl with pink hair",[1] about 21 or 22 years old.[2] She keeps her hair in a braid, until she cuts the braid off following the events of "Upon Our Grace" and switches to a shorter hairstyle with back of her head shaved.[3] Her flight suit is purple, with a design mimicking the human nervous system.[1] When she is on the moon, her flight suit includes what looks like a helmet but is in fact a generated atmosphere that Devotion provides so that she can breathe.[3]

At some point in her young life she grew three sets of small pink angel wings: one on her back, one on her head, and one on her arms. The wings on her arms turn black after she has a vision of Devotion.[4] The wings on her head turn black after she rejects her second tenet from Devotion.[5]

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.[6]

Tenets

  • You are a shield. Leave none undefended while you still stand.[Note 1]
  • You are a sword. Strike down our adversaries with impunity.[Note 2]
  • You are a beacon. Your first priority is to spread the reach of Devotion, no matter the cost.[Note 3]

Hooks

History and Involvement

Cori originally hails from the Twilight Mirage, where she lived a very sheltered life as a young Devotee trained as a soldier.

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.[Note 4]

After being severed from the power of Devotion during a fight, Cori accidentally kills her own father.[8] She makes one of her brothers send the message to the rest of their family with the news, telling him only that she was present when it happened and she's not in a good place to send the message.[7]

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.[4]

Family

She has a big family, a lot of whom live on Palisade,[1] including her father and some of her siblings.[9] Her mom and her other siblings live off-world.[7] Two of her brothers who live on Palisade are Formido and Phobos Sunset.[10]

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.[11]

After she causes his death, she is overcome with guilt and grief. She asks Figure about how they were resurrected, hoping that she can bring Griesel back with no memory of how he died.[7]

Seeing her father betray the Cause in Figure's dream was disturbing to her and deepened her increasing doubt in Devotion and her training as a child soldier.

Kalvin Brnine

Coriolis seems to have some hero worship for her captain, Kalvin Brnine. After the funeral in "In Their Fear Pt. 1", Brnine and Cori have a little heart-to-heart about grief, for which Cori expresses immense gratitude. They have a similar conversation in "Reach In / Reach Out Pt. 1" where she worries about what she's learned about her father and Devotion; Brnine reassures her that "everybody’s lives is built on bullshit" but she can still choose to fight for what she believes in.

Elle Evensong

Elle Evensong is Cori's rival.[8] They want to shake Cori's faith in Devotion.[7] Elle used to look out for her when they were younger and in training together.[12]

She blames Elle for the death of her father. During his funeral, Elle goads Cori about her faith in Devotion and Cori punches her in the face.[7]

Although they continue to conflict with each other, Cori wants to impress Elle and is often flustered by their flirting.

Gravity clocks

  • Kriminel seems receptive to my words; I should see what Devotion means to her.[Note 5][Note 6]
  • The Captain makes everybody in the crew so welcome.[Note 5]
    • I can always rely on the Captain when I need them.[13]
  • A gloom hangs over Figure. I bet I can help.[Note 7][Note 8]
    • Figure means well but I can tell he sees me as just a kid.[13]
  • Thisbe is afraid to get their hands dirty, kind of ironic for a farming robot.[Note 9]
  • (Rival clock with Elle Evensong, wording unspecified)[8]

Abilities

  • Tenets: Cori has tenets (above) that she must fulfill for Devotion or else it will lower her ability to channel its power permanently.
  • Inspire Focus: Once per Sortie, if Cori takes a visible position on the battlefield she can inspire her allies.[14]
  • Consecrate Ground: Cori may imbue an area with Divine power, which can have various potential effects, including keeping anyone in the area from acting violently[15] and preventing anyone in the area from knowingly lying.[5]

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.

After her father's funeral she calls her eldest brother, Formido, who works in the Devotees' R&D department, to request a new mech.[10] This new mech, the Paramerion, makes its debut in An Impossible Ideal.[3]
