Spike Chunsoft shared new details for AI: Somnium Files – nirvanA Initiative! New characters Kuruto and Tama were revealed. In addition, character profiles for returning characters Mizuki and Aiba were shared. Check it out below:
Truth is only an illusion…
Story
Six years ago, the right half of a corpse was discovered. The left half was never found…until six years later, completely fresh with no signs of decay.Now, Special Agents Mizuki and Ryuki, along with their AI partners Aiba and Tama, are tasked to solve the bizarre Half Body serial killings while unveiling the mysterious plot known only as the Nirvana Initiative…
Mizuki Okiura
VA: Corina Boettger
Japanese VA: Tomoyo Kurosawa
ABIS’s new Special Agent (Psyncer)
A Psyncer who uses the Psync machine to infiltrate the brains of suspects and key witnesses. Mizuki lost her left eye and is now fitted with a replacement eye equipped with advanced artificial intelligence (the AI-Ball “Aiba”). Despite still being a high school student, her strong physical abilities and clever mind have earned her a special accommodation in ABIS.
Aiba
VA: Erika Harlacher
Japanese VA: Akari Kito
Assistant Investigator
An autonomous AI that usually takes the form of an eyeball residing inside Mizuki’s left eye socket. Her job is to assist Mizuki during investigations by connecting to networks to gather information and using special functions such as X-ray and thermographs. Because she has been working as an assistant investigator for a long time, she is adept at reading human psychology and emotional states.
Kuruto Ryuki
VA: Stephen Fu
Japanese VA: Atsushi Tamaru
ABIS’s new Special Agent (Psyncer)
A rookie investigator with a strong sense of justice. However, he is not the hot-blooded type; he has a reserved and gentle nature. He is a well-educated young man. Unfortunately, both his parents and his brother have passed away… Fighting through his painful past, he aims to solve difficult cases with his partner, Tama, who is implanted in his left eye socket.
Tama
VA: Anairis Quiñones
Japanese VA: Ai Kakuma
Assistant Investigator
Like Aiba, she is an AI-Ball equipped with advanced artificial intelligence. She is usually found in Ryuki’s left eye socket and supports him in his work. She has a motherly quality to her, being both stern and kind (although she is 90% stern…). She inspires Ryuki by whipping his ass into shape. Purely coincidentally, she is also a sadistic character who literally enjoys whipping ass.
