Ban [Technolike]

Ban is one of the Idols ruling the Technolike metaverse.

As an Idol of Order, he is responsible for enforcing the rules, identifying violators, and punishing them with temporary or permanent exclusion from the system—a ban. Despite his official role, his methods and character are far from the ideal of a fair judge. His main weapon is red cards in the form of crosses, he never runs out of them, and it is with them that he bans violators of the order for a certain time depending on their actions, simply by aiming at them.

Ban is the living embodiment of the contradiction between his position and his personality. Formally charged with maintaining order, he is rude, impolite, hot-tempered, and prone to unmotivated anger. He often acts on emotion rather than cold calculation, making him unpredictable and dangerous.

His interactions with users and even other idols are laced with sarcasm and ridicule. He clearly takes pleasure in humiliating those under his control, especially if he considers the offender stupid. It is precisely stupid users, in his opinion, that he detests most. However, behind this aggressive facade, a good sense of humor and a unique straightforwardness sometimes shine through. He's not hypocritical or pretending to be a kind judge—he is who he is: an irritated and effective instrument of punishment. His main, and perhaps only, passion is the ability to ban violators left and right, although the system's strict protocols often limit this desire, forcing him to wait for actual violations. Despite this, when a single violator occurs, Ban can accidentally hit the wrong avatar with his shurikens; Max is a prime example of such a victim. Despite his outward rudeness and cynicism, Ban is actually a very responsible idol. He is the one who receives the entire stream of complaints and violation notifications from users and other idols, and he handles this avalanche, even if his work is unsettling.

His contradictions are most clearly revealed in his relationship with Vicky. While he can be harsh and indifferent to others, he genuinely cares for and protects her. She is the only character for whom Ban is willing to restrain his emotions, stay close (even when no one asks him to), and show something resembling concern, which creates an interesting contrast to his usual behavior.

Ban's appearance is a direct reflection of his chaotic and aggressive nature. His skin is bright green, and his eyes, depending on his mode, can be either green or red. His teeth are sharp, giving him a slightly predatory appearance.

The character's white hair is parted in sharp, leaf-shaped strands at the sides and back. He wears a dark, tight-fitting bandana with a neon green cross on top—his personal symbol. The outfit is a one-piece jumpsuit-like garment, consisting of pants and a tight-fitting black T-shirt that accentuates the wearer's slender and lithe frame. Two belts are worn over the top, forming a kind of harness: they cross over the chest and are adorned with three neon-green crosses on one side. Fingerless gloves with glowing bracelets also adorned with these crosses are worn on the hands.

The pants are wide, straight-leg, and black. They are complemented by neon-green stripes and textured mesh inserts in certain areas. The shoes are chunky boots with neon linings and crosses. He sometimes wears square glasses behind which his eyes are not visible; these glasses also serve as a navigator and information search engine.

Technolike is a digital metaverse and social platform that serves as the main setting for the animated series of the same name. It's a virtual world where users, in the form of avatars, communicate, compete, and strive for popularity, adhering to a strict system of rules controlled by Artificial Intelligence (Idols). Technolike is a large-scale, vibrantly designed digital universe accessible to users through dedicated devices. For many, the primary goal of being there is to gain popularity, measured in likes. Key locations: -The Central Square is the main public space where major events and Idol announcements take place. -Personal Rooms are individual spaces for avatars that can be customized. Interesting facts: -The Technolike system has numerous bugs (errors), which some users, like Annette, exploit to penetrate restricted areas. -Some Idols, such as Ban, can directly intervene and punish users, including banning them entirely. And quite often, innocent avatars can be banned accidentally. -Technolike has been around for over 10 years.

The main currency and measure of success in Technolike are likes. The more others like a user's content, the more likes they receive. Likes can be spent on avatar upgrades, item purchases, and access to exclusive locations. Like scores are used to determine a user's social status and the opportunities they have available.

The platform is controlled by seven powerful Idols, each responsible for a key aspect of the system: popularity, order, information, and others. The Idols are a group of key characters, artificial intelligences that govern the Technolike metaverse. Each Idol is responsible for a specific aspect of the system's operation and possesses unique abilities and personalities. Idols represent the highest level of administration and the embodiment of Technolike's rules. They are artificial intelligence (AI) created to maintain order, popularity, information, and other functions within the virtual world. They typically appear to users as anthropomorphic avatars and wield significant power within their spheres of influence.

Role in the plot: As the governing force of Technolike, idols directly influence the fates of all users. Their decisions, conflicts, and interactions shape the rules of the virtual world and determine the main storylines. The actions of idols like Like and Ban become key driving forces in the stories of the main character, Annette, and other characters.
