Specialization & Arm

Secondary Designation: The Soul Arm Originator

---

Abilities:

Void Step: Allows him to erase himself from existence briefly (and from all sensory detection).

Absolute Zero (Silent Freeze): Halts molecular motion within a defined space; time perception collapses within affected zones.

Soul Carving: As creator of the Soul Arm, he can shape fragments of will into living or spiritual extensions.

Arm Hybridization: Can blend Void properties into other Arm forms, including soulbound constructs, familiars, and sealed spaces.

Dimensional Lock: Cancels enemy abilities within a pocket space; used rarely due to high energy cost.

---

Psychological Profile

Core Traits: Lazy, emotionally unreadable, frighteningly intelligent, soft-spoken but layered with bite.

Personality Mask: Appears indifferent, sarcastic, and aloof—this is an intentional safeguard against manipulation and attachment.

True Nature: He is a burdened architect of something ancient, constantly trying to forget what he knows.

Traumas: The only one he had dared to call family had abandoned him, without even a simple goodbye.

Backstory & Lineage

Birth Secret: His "great-grandfather" is actually a Specialist of unfathomable rank who created a false ancestral trail to hide Yè Yī's origins as well as the original creator of the Soul Arm, which is sort for by many but he never got to complete it.

Soul Arm Creation: As a child prodigy, Yè Yī created the Soul Arm—an unorthodox Arm born of will, not element or substance. It proved too powerful, so he dismantled and hid its pieces.

Void Affinity: No one knows how he awakened the Void aspect, which traditionally isn't inherited. It may be linked to an ancient entity or contract sealed within him.

---

Interpersonal Dynamics

Violet: Deep mutual respect. Only he will even try to share emotional intimacy with. If he was the hollow, she was the sound.

Qiū Huà Bǐ: Treats him like a stray puppy, in need of a way to go. Yè Yī sees in him the freedom he lost. Pretends to be nonchalant but will protect him fiercely.

---

Symbolism

Color Association: Icy silver and black void — frozen truths, lost time, and the nothingness between worlds.

Relic: A soul-core pendant embedded with a frozen tear. It hums faintly in his presence.

The Yè's family plaque, who's significance is yet to be unravelled.

Forged Title: The Architect of Hollow Things

---

Unspoken Burdens

He Remembers Everything: He fakes forgetfulness to cope. Every failed timeline, every death, every sealed Arm fragment—it's still there.

Something Sealed in Himself: A piece of the Soul Arm still resides in his body. Removing it would either consume him—or unchain him.

Emotional Apathy: Has nearly been able to portray a genuine emotion since he was four. He Can't Love Freely. He avoids closeness not out of disinterest, but because he's forgotten how.

Avoidance: Would rather stir clear from confrontation unless backed into a corner.

---

Weaknesses

Iceback Syndrome: A degenerative effect of prolonged Ice Arm usage. His physical temperature often dips dangerously low.
