Background

Before transmigrating, Bai Ye was a 20-year-old solo Arknights Online player. He was highly capable in both PvP and PvE, created guides and entertainment videos through livestreaming, and avoided joining clubs or guilds because he valued independence. 1

His former gaming career made him a prominent melee specialist associated with the Revelry Tea Party, where he was nicknamed the “TeaParty’s Blade.” Despite his reputation, he was socially awkward, reclusive, and relied on himself for equipment and skills. 174 413

After becoming an NPC in Terra before the game’s launch, Bai Ye initially intended to reach Rhodes Island but instead entered Lungmen’s underworld and formed a cooperative relationship with Penguin Logistics. His knowledge of the game world, rapidly increasing strength, and unusually high Charm quickly made him conspicuous to both natives and players. 6 7 66

He later served as Rhodes Island’s Field Operations Supervisor, became involved with Reunion as an advisor and de facto commander of several units, and helped establish Chernobog Core City as a major player settlement. He eventually resigned from his Rhodes Island positions to focus on his own projects and the threat posed by the Undying. 173 259 319

Appearance

Bai Ye is a handsome young man whose high Charm makes him seem approachable and trustworthy even to strangers. His deceptively harmless, baby-faced appearance often causes others to underestimate him. 6

• Fixed 96 Charm, affecting both appearance and temperament 6 173
• A notably calm and comfortable presence that reduces others’ initial hostility 6 98
• Frequently seen in a Rhodes Island supervisor uniform during his early NPC career 66
• Later wears custom-made clothing suited to high-intensity combat 564

Personality

Bai Ye is pragmatic, adaptable, and intensely goal-oriented. His player background taught him to treat obstacles as problems to be solved, whether through combat, negotiation, commerce, or manipulating game-like systems. He is willing to use his Charm deliberately, including feigned cuteness, if it advances a mission. 12 98

Although he projects confidence and competence, Bai Ye was originally socially anxious and accustomed to isolation. His calm, aloof reputation among players stemmed more from difficulty socializing than arrogance. 6 339 413

He values loyalty and repays those who help him. Rather than pursuing power solely for himself, he repeatedly uses his influence to protect allies, support Reunion and Rhodes Island personnel, guide players, and prevent conflicts from escalating unnecessarily. 72 99 441 568

Bai Ye dislikes political games and prefers direct solutions, but he is capable of long-term planning when necessary. He builds networks, businesses, settlements, and institutions because he believes that more allies mean fewer enemies. 72 355 406
