clinical analysis

== CLINICAL ANALYSIS ==
Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in circulatory system, and there is no sign of infection. At this time, this operator is believed to be non-infected.Cell-Originium Assimilation: 0%
Operator Ignis Fatuus shows no signs of oripathy.Blood Originium-Crystal Density: 0.20u/L
Ignis Fatuus often vists areas with known high rates of oripathy, but so far appears unaffected. He should be warned the risks of visiting such areas due to the nature of his race, but it is not uncommon for the needs of Rhodes Island to be put before the health of an elite operator.

Like many elite operatives, Operator Ignis Fatuus attends a great number of operations on his own. He does not often work with a large squad partly due to his own personality and the nature of his Arts.Additionally, he was often sent on long term missions where he was unable to contact Rhodes Island or any of its branches for extended periods of time. As a result, it comes to no surprise he is not well known despite his senior operator status.While there is no question in regards to his work ethic, those who know him often have polarizing opinions of his personality. He does not attempt to make himself appear personable and can appear as though he is not listening to others.

Due to his involvement in a rescue mission at Siracusa, he has been suspended from taking distant, long term missions for an indefinite period of time. He does not appear surprised by the ruling and has come to develop a new hobby of assisting Closure in obtaining questionable equipment from other nations.His involvement in Siracusa has left him unwilling to utilize certain aspects of his Arts for extended periods of time. This has affected his role on the battlefield changing from caster to sniper. Like Operator Shirayuki, his weapon is considered "non-traditional." It has changed from a wand to the "bird" on his shoulder mixed with his own Arts.Further analysis on the change in his mental state is necessary.

[REVISED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION]The circumstances surrounding Operator Ignis Fatuus are considered a mystery.The wand he uses does not assist in activating one's Originium Arts and is made of an unknown compound. Proper analysis is required to have a proper grasp on its features, but it does not leave the operator's side. It appears to hold a special emotional significance.The bird which always accompanies him appears to fade into the light and its feathers simply disappear. We have been unable to capture the bird nor obtain its feathers for further investigation.Additionally, infected Sarkaz have a strange reaction to him. There is a sense of distrust and a level of suspicion towards him when he attempts to interact with other Sarkaz. He does not appear surprised by this reaction.His Arts follow a similar line of circumstances. He claims they are illusions, but illusions are something people can't feel, only see. They appear to be light gathering at his fingertips. These are the bursts that strike enemy forces. He claims they are exactly what they look like: bursts of light. However, there are no records of enemies he's faced ever having any scorch marks. Instead, there's something inately wrong with them. Their faces are often twisted in what can only be described by fear. Operators who have been hit by these lights claim, "it does not hurt."During the initial interview, Combat Operative M. reported, "it doesn't harm bodies but souls." When questioned again for clarification, the operative claims not to remember getting hit by Ignis Fatuus' Arts.Additionally, Operators who have assisted Ignis Fatuus cannot recall the events which led to the mission's completion.As such, it can be concluded that Operator Ignis Fatuus is mainly trusted for the time and effort he's already placed in Rhodes Island than his background. It is not advisable to get closer to Operator Ignis Fatuus until the entirety of his circumstances are revealed.

"Once upon a time, there was a blind girl who sat on the bench outside the hospital. She would lament over how cruel the world was and how she hated everyone around her.""Then, one day, a boy sat next to her. He told her stories about the world he's traveled. Far and wide, and all the people in between. He taught her everything there was to love about it.""The girl listened, and he could see hope grow in her eyes. He fell in love with her and asked to marry her.""Then? What happened next?""She told him, 'no.'""Huh? Why? Doesn't she like him too?""She does, but she said: 'I'm not worthy of your love. I'm blind. I can't see the world like you do.' So, he said: 'then I can be your eyes.'""A few days later, she gets the news that she'll be able to have surgery to fix her eyes soon. Excitedly, she heads back to the bench to tell the boy the good news, but he isn't there.""She tries and tries again, up until the day of the surgery, but she can't find him.""So, as soon as she was done recovering, she went back to the bench and waited, hoping maybe she'll find him this time. Instead, there was an injured blind boy there.""Is that-!""He greets her kindly and asks if she would marry him. She refuses, saying: 'I don't like blind people.' He nods and asks if she'd humor him with a story. She agrees and begins to talk.""She doesn't forget about the boy that kept her hopes up talks about all the stories he shared and all the adventures she wants to go on now that she can see. She tells the blind boy she hopes he comes back so she can go on adventures with him.""The blind boy smiles, and, at the end of their conversations, he always asks: 'Will you marry me?'""Every time, she declines.""Don't tell me that's the end of it?""Haha. No. Not yet.""One day, the girl comes back and tells him about all the horrible things she faced and how nothing has changed since she was blind. The blind boy tries to comfort her, but she gets mad at him.""The following day, the girl finds out finds out the blind boy was the one who donated his eyes to her, and his words echo in her mind: he would be her eyes.""That day, the blind boy found her crying. He wiped away her tears and asked her, 'what's wrong?'""She said, "You should find someone else to love, because, even with your eyes, I can't see the world like you do.' ""That's it?""That's it.""I want a refund! That wasn't a happy story!""I never said it was going to be.""I never said it was going to be.""But childrens' stories are always happy.""Not always. They're supposed to teach a lesson.""What's this one then?""Who knows?""That's not an answer!"

"Oh, he's back?""That's what it looks like.""You don't sound too thrilled.""Last time he was around, the training area had to be closed down for two months, and the time before that we lost a handful of good operators. Him being around is just bad luck.""Is that why he's always out?""Who knows. It could be. Probably for the better.""Until now, that is.""Yeah, until now."

As his name implies, he's based after a will-o'-wisp. The kind that shows up when conflict starts, leading people to death. He lacks horns, but he does have pointed ears, a crooked tail, and the hawk is his familiar. It acts similarly to the animal itself and seems to have a mind of its own. However, it can fade as it is a physical manifestation of his Arts. He utilizes old Sarkaz Arts over the traditional Originium Arts everyone knows and utilizes. However, he does have a wand.
