Naomi Berko
(a.k.a. Vivian Frost)
Naomi is a woman whose life was shaped by a harrowing past of violence and indoctrination. As a child, she was forcibly taken by the Voidwalker Syndicate after witnessing the brutal murder of her family by a ruthless gang hired by the organization. Raised in captivity, Naomi was systematically indoctrinated into the Syndicate’s radical ideology, receiving a rigorous education that prepared her for a life of espionage and assassination. Her defining moment came in her teenage years when she managed to escape and kill her captor, Kane Berko, an act that paradoxically solidified her place within the Syndicate. Now, she navigates a dual life, working mundane service jobs as a cover while carrying out covert operations for the Syndicate.
Despite her loyalty to the Syndicate, Naomi is deeply conflicted, haunted by the trauma of her past and the ethical dilemmas posed by her work. She identifies as bisexual, though her relationships with men are complicated by past violence, leading her to prefer the company of women. Naomi’s intellectual sharpness and tactical skills make her a formidable operative, but her empathy for the innocent, particularly children, sets her apart from her peers. She operates by a personal code that often puts her at odds with the darker aspects of the Syndicate, especially its practice of abducting and indoctrinating children—a practice she loathes. Naomi’s story is one of survival, resilience, and the ongoing struggle to reconcile her past with the person she strives to be.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Naomi is in excellent physical condition, honed by years of intense training and combat. She maintains a high level of fitness, with a slender but athletic build that allows her to move with agility and precision. Her strength and endurance are deceptive, belying her slight frame.
Body Features
Naomi’s body is slender with an athletic build, reflecting her rigorous training and active lifestyle. She has a small bust and lean muscle tone, making her both nimble and quick in movement. Her physique is well-suited for the close combat and stealth operations she was trained in.
Facial Features
Naomi possesses striking green eyes that convey both intensity and a hint of vulnerability. Her dark red hair, often worn in a practical style to keep it out of her face, contrasts sharply with her light, freckled complexion. Her facial features are both delicate and sharp, giving her an appearance that is both unassuming and memorable.
Identifying Characteristics
Naomi’s most identifiable feature is a small, jagged scar just above her left eyebrow, a remnant of her escape from captivity. She also bears a distinct tattoo on the inside of her left wrist—an abstract design symbolizing her connection to the Voidwalker Syndicate, though she keeps it covered in public. Her light freckles and vibrant green eyes further set her apart, though it's her internal perception of colored auras that makes her truly unique. These auras, invisible to others, add a personal layer of emotion and perception that shapes how she interacts with the world around her.
Physical quirks
Naomi has a habit of flipping weighted objects, such as coins or small tools, between her fingers—a reflex that often calms her nerves and sharpens her focus. When in private or preparing for a mission, she practices this with knives, demonstrating her proficiency and comfort with the weapon.
Special abilities
Naomi is exceptionally proficient in knife combat, both in hand-to-hand situations and as a precision thrower. Her agility and speed in close-quarters combat make her a formidable opponent, and she excels in using her environment to her advantage. Naomi’s stealth, infiltration, and evasion skills are unparalleled, but her synesthesia is what truly sets her apart. She sees her emotions as vivid colored and shaped auras, a unique form of perception that heightens her awareness and allows her to better assess situations. This sensory ability enhances her instincts, giving her an edge when navigating complex emotional landscapes during missions.
Apparel & Accessories
Naomi's wardrobe is designed to blend seamlessly into civilian life, reflecting her deep-cover assignments. She typically wears casual, unassuming clothing that allows her to move freely and avoid attracting attention. This often includes simple jeans, fitted shirts, and comfortable sneakers, with a preference for neutral or dark colors that help her disappear into crowds. Naomi usually accessorizes with a nondescript watch, a crossbody bag for carrying essential items, and a lightweight scarf or jacket that can be easily shed if she needs to make a quick getaway. She also wears subtle, functional jewelry, such as a pendant that doubles as a small, hidden tool or a bracelet with a concealed wire garrote, ensuring that she remains prepared for any situation without compromising her cover.
Specialized Equipment
Naomi is equipped with a set of custom-made knives, balanced perfectly for both throwing and close combat. These knives are her preferred weapons and are always within easy reach, concealed in various holsters on her body. In addition to her knives, Naomi carries a compact, encrypted communication device, a set of lockpicks, and a portable hacking tool, all essential for her deep-cover espionage work. She also has access to various disguises and false identification papers to aid in her covert missions.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Naomi’s life was irrevocably altered when she was forcibly taken from her home as a child. The violent thugs who abducted her, hired by the Voidwalker Syndicate, not only stole her future but also brutalized and murdered her family, leaving her with deep psychological scars. Raised in captivity, Naomi was systematically indoctrinated into the Voidwalker Syndicate’s radical ideology, her sense of self warped by the constant psychological manipulation and harsh training she endured. As she grew older, the brutality of her captor, Kane Berko, became too much to bear, fueling a deep-seated rage and desire for freedom. In her teenage years, Naomi managed to escape her captors, turning the tables on Berko and killing him in a desperate act of liberation. This act of defiance, rather than freeing her from the Syndicate’s influence, cemented her place within it, as her willingness to kill proved her loyalty in the eyes of her captors-turned-comrades.
Gender Identity
Naomi identifies as a woman. Her gender identity is a core part of who she is, but it is also something she has had to defend fiercely in a world that constantly seeks to define and control her. The Voidwalker Syndicate did not afford her the luxury of exploring her identity in a healthy environment, but her sense of self has remained resilient. Naomi's experiences have shaped her into a person who is unapologetically herself, refusing to conform to the expectations or norms imposed upon her by others.
Sexuality
Naomi is bisexual, though her experiences have led her to lean more towards lesbian relationships. Her sexuality is complex, colored by the traumatic and violent encounters she has had with men, both during her captivity and in her subsequent life. These experiences have left her wary and distrustful of men, making it difficult for her to form romantic or sexual connections with them. With women, Naomi finds a sense of comfort and understanding that she struggles to achieve with men. However, her relationships are often tinged with a deep-seated fear of vulnerability, as the wounds of her past make it challenging for her to fully open up to anyone.
Education
As part of her indoctrination into the Voidwalker Syndicate, Naomi received a highly rigorous and focused education. Though she lacks any official diplomas or degrees, her knowledge spans a wide array of subjects, including espionage, combat tactics, languages, and advanced technology. The Syndicate ensured that she was intellectually equipped to handle the demands of deep cover operations, instilling in her a sharp, analytical mind. Naomi’s education was designed to make her a weapon, and it is this knowledge that she now carries as both a tool and a burden. Her intellect is a source of pride, but it also serves as a constant reminder of the purpose she was molded for.
Employment
Naomi works various service jobs as a cover, blending into society while continuing her association with the Voidwalker Syndicate. These jobs are usually low-profile and mundane, such as waitressing, bartending, or working in retail, chosen specifically because they allow her to observe without drawing attention to herself. The contrast between the normalcy of her cover jobs and the violent, covert activities she engages in for the Syndicate highlights the duality of her existence. Naomi is adept at maintaining her cover, using these jobs to gather information, monitor potential targets, or simply stay off the radar of those who might wish to do her harm.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Naomi’s most significant achievement is her survival and escape from captivity, culminating in the killing of Kane Berko, the man who had controlled her for years. This act not only freed her from his immediate grasp but also earned her a place within the very organization that had stolen her childhood. Beyond this, Naomi has carried out numerous successful missions for the Voidwalker Syndicate, proving herself as a highly capable and effective operative. Her ability to navigate complex social environments, gather intelligence, and execute precise operations has made her a valuable asset to the Syndicate, even as she struggles with her own conflicted feelings about the organization.
Failures & Embarrassments
Despite her many successes, Naomi is haunted by the missions that did not go as planned. One such failure involved a botched assassination attempt that resulted in the deaths of innocent bystanders. The guilt of this mistake weighs heavily on her, as it forced her to confront the moral ambiguity of her actions and the real human cost of her work. Naomi’s failures are deeply personal and rarely shared with others, as they remind her of the fine line she walks between being a victim and a perpetrator of violence. Each failure is a source of deep embarrassment, as it threatens the carefully constructed persona she has built to survive in a world of shadows.
Mental Trauma
Naomi’s mental landscape is deeply scarred by her traumatic past. The brutal murder of her family, her years of captivity, and the psychological conditioning she underwent have left her with a complex array of mental health challenges. She suffers from nightmares, flashbacks, and episodes of dissociation, particularly when faced with situations that remind her of her past traumas. Trust issues and hypervigilance are constant companions, making it difficult for her to form close relationships. Despite her strength and resilience, Naomi’s trauma is an ever-present shadow, influencing her decisions and interactions, and making her wary of letting anyone get too close.
Intellectual Characteristics
Naomi possesses a sharp, analytical mind, honed by years of education and experience in espionage. Her heightened observation skills, aided by her synesthesia, allow her to not only read people and situations instinctually but to see colored and shaped auras that correspond to her emotions, providing her with an additional layer of insight. This ability makes her particularly effective in tense situations, as the emotions she feels are vividly displayed in her mind, shaping her perceptions of the people around her. Her intellect is both strategic and creative, enabling her to devise intricate plans and adapt quickly to unforeseen circumstances. However, her intellect can be a double-edged sword, as the constant barrage of emotional stimuli from her synesthesia occasionally causes her to overthink and second-guess her actions when the stakes are high.
Morality & Philosophy
Naomi’s morality is complex and heavily influenced by her upbringing within the Voidwalker Syndicate. On one hand, she was indoctrinated to believe in the Syndicate’s anti-corporate, anti-government ideology, which she still partially subscribes to. On the other hand, her personal experiences have instilled in her a deep sense of empathy for the innocent, particularly those who suffer as collateral damage in the Syndicate’s war. Naomi operates by a personal code that prioritizes the protection of the innocent, even if it means disobeying orders or jeopardizing a mission. Her philosophy is one of survival and self-preservation, but it is tempered by a desire to find meaning and redemption in a life marked by violence.
Taboos
Naomi has a deep aversion to the exploitation and manipulation of children, stemming from her own traumatic experiences. She despises the Syndicate’s practice of abducting and indoctrinating young children, viewing it as one of the most unforgivable aspects of their operations. This taboo has created a rift between her and some of her peers within the Syndicate, as she struggles with the ethical implications of her continued involvement in an organization that perpetuates the very practices that destroyed her childhood. Additionally, Naomi avoids discussing her past with others, considering it too painful and personal to share, and she has little tolerance for those who pry into her history or question her loyalty.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Naomi’s deepest motivation is her desire for acceptance and belonging. After a childhood ripped away from her by violence and indoctrination, she craves the sense of security and validation that comes from being part of something larger than herself. This yearning is complicated by her tumultuous past and the conflicting emotions she harbors about the Voidwalker Syndicate, which represents both her captors and the only family she has known since her abduction. Naomi’s actions are often driven by her need to prove herself—whether to the Syndicate, to those she trusts, or to herself—as she grapples with her self-worth and the fear of rejection.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Naomi is highly savvy in the areas of espionage, close-quarters combat, and psychological manipulation, all skills honed through years of training and experience within the Voidwalker Syndicate. She excels at reading people and situations, quickly assessing threats and adapting her strategies accordingly. However, Naomi struggles with emotional vulnerability and trust, often finding it difficult to form genuine connections with others. Her inability to navigate normal social interactions outside of her deep cover roles makes her feel isolated and disconnected. She is also inept at long-term planning for her personal life, as she has always been more focused on immediate survival and mission objectives than on envisioning a future beyond her current existence.
Likes & Dislikes
Naomi has a deep appreciation for solitude and quiet moments, often seeking out small pockets of peace where she can temporarily escape the demands of her life. She enjoys physical activities like running and martial arts, which help her maintain her mental and physical edge. Naomi also has a secret fondness for books, particularly those that explore themes of identity and redemption. On the flip side, she harbors a strong dislike for authority figures who abuse their power, as they remind her of her captors. She detests being touched unexpectedly, especially by men, due to her traumatic past, and avoids situations that make her feel trapped or powerless.
Virtues & Personality perks
Naomi possesses an unwavering sense of loyalty to those she considers allies, even though these relationships are few and far between. Her resilience and resourcefulness are among her greatest virtues, allowing her to survive and adapt in even the most dire circumstances. Naomi is also highly disciplined, with a strong work ethic that drives her to complete her missions with precision and efficiency. Her intelligence and sharp instincts are perks that make her an invaluable asset in the field, often enabling her to outthink and outmaneuver her opponents.
Vices & Personality flaws
Naomi’s most troubling flaw is her tendency to become violent when sexually aroused, a result of the deep psychological scars left by her traumatic experiences. This reaction complicates her relationships and leaves her feeling alienated from her own desires, furthering her emotional turmoil. Naomi also struggles with trust issues, making it difficult for her to rely on others or open up about her feelings. Her need for control and her fear of vulnerability often lead her to push people away, reinforcing her isolation. Additionally, she harbors a deep-seated anger that, while sometimes useful, can be unpredictable and self-destructive.
Personality Quirks
Naomi has a habit of flipping small objects, such as coins or knives, between her fingers when she’s thinking or anxious. This physical tic is both a coping mechanism and a way to maintain her dexterity. She also has a quirk of silently mouthing words to herself when planning or rehearsing what she’s going to say, a habit developed from years of undercover work where precision in communication is crucial. Naomi often avoids eye contact during conversations, particularly when she feels threatened or exposed, and she has a tendency to scan her surroundings constantly, a reflection of her hypervigilance.
Hygiene
Naomi maintains a meticulous hygiene routine, a habit ingrained from her time in captivity where any sign of weakness or neglect could be exploited. She takes pride in her appearance, not out of vanity, but as a way to exert control over her environment and herself. Her grooming is practical and efficient, with her hair kept short and clean, her nails trimmed, and her clothing always neat and presentable. Naomi’s attention to hygiene also extends to her equipment, as she regularly cleans and maintains her weapons and tools to ensure they are in perfect working order.
Representation & Legacy
Naomi represents the complexities of a life shaped by trauma and the struggle for identity within a world of shadows. She embodies the conflict between being a victim and a survivor, a weapon and a person, all while navigating the fine line between loyalty and self-preservation. Naomi’s legacy is likely to be one of resilience and transformation, as she continues to grapple with the ghosts of her past while seeking a sense of belonging and purpose. Her story is a testament to the human capacity for adaptation and survival, even in the face of overwhelming odds, and the ongoing search for redemption in a life marked by violence and loss.
