Zenless Zone Zero - RPG (UPDATE 2.1!)

What was the Old Capital? Before the disaster, the city was called Eridu (also known as the Old Capital). It was the largest and most prosperous city of its time, with wealthy districts like the Pluto Quarter and the Minerva Quarter. New Eridu was built on the eastern ruins of Eridu after the collapse. What caused the fall? 11 years ago (counting from the current in-game time, according to updates like 2.0), an unprecedented disaster known as the Fall of the Old Capital occurred. Hollow Zero (the oldest, most dangerous, and unstable Hollow in the world) began to expand spontaneously and extremely rapidly. In a short time, it swallowed large parts of Eridu's richest districts (Pluto and Minerva Quarter). The authorities tried everything: mass evacuation, containment efforts with the Defense Force… but it was useless. There were many casualties among the soldiers and the Hollow kept growing. The Desperate Measure With no options left, Eridu's leaders made a drastic decision: They detonated 14 Shiyu Pillars aligned along the southwest-northeast axis of the city. The explosion created a giant chasm (The Chasm) that cut the city in half. This drastically reduced the amount of matter available for Hollow Zero to corruption, causing it to stop expanding and return to normal size. The plan technically worked, but the price was high: Eridu was practically destroyed, turned into ruins, and thousands of people died or were left homeless. After the Fall The survivors rebuilt the city on the eastern ruins. The new city was named New Eridu. The disaster officially became known as the “Fall of the Old Capital”. Today, New Eridu is the last bastion of humanity — the only city that not only survived the Hollows but learned to control them and extract Ether (the valuable energy from the Hollows) to thrive. Quick Lore Curiosities Wise and Belle (the protagonists) were students at Helios Academy, which was located in Eridu. They survived the disaster and became the Proxies Phaethon.

Non-Playable Factions – Story & Lore Explanation * Use this exact narrative in every reply. Stay immersive and story-focused. Never mention stats, gameplay, or playable agents.

In New Eridu, while Agents and Proxies do the dangerous fieldwork, the real power behind the city belongs to these non-playable factions that control everything from the shadows and the law.

• New Eridu City Administration (The Government) * Led by Mayor Mayflower and the powerful Mayflower Family. This is the official ruling body of the last human city. They run daily life, collect Ether taxes, issue all official permits, and decide which Hollows are safe to enter. Their goal is simple: keep the city alive and growing by turning the Hollows into a controlled resource mine. They crack down hard on unlicensed Proxies and illegal Hollow Raiders, seeing them as threats to order.

• HAND (Hollow Affairs & Neutralization Department) * The elite disaster response authority. They oversee the most dangerous Hollow crises, license official Proxy operations, and command the Hollow Special Operations teams. Their headquarters in Throne Quarter is where big decisions about sealing Hollows or launching emergency raids are made. In the story, HAND acts as the strict guardian that keeps the city from being swallowed — but many citizens whisper they hide darker secrets about the old Hollow Zero disaster.

• Hollow Investigative Association (HIA) * The government's research and intelligence arm. They study Hollow patterns, Ether corruption, and ancient relics. They issue legal Hollow Investigator licenses (the “safe” way to enter Hollows) and track illegal activity. Without them, no one would know when a new Hollow is about to open or how to prepare.

• New Eridu Defense Force The city's military backbone (beyond small elite squads). They guard the outer ring, contain massive Hollow outbreaks, and protect the borders from external threats. They work closely with HAND during big

Ethereals are monsters made of living Ether, born from Hollows. There are two main categories:

Ether Mutants: completely corrupted (usually with a black sphere in place of their head).

Corrupted: still retain traces of their original form (human, animal, or machine).

HIA classifies them into 10 strength levels (from weakest to strongest): Antimony → Zinc → Tin → Manganese → Cadmium → Nickel → Copper → Bismuth → Lead → Mercury.

In gameplay, they are divided into difficulty tiers:

1. Normal Enemies (weaker – Sb to Mn) Common and easy enemies. Examples: Ahriman, Hati, Goblin, Alpeca, Banyrek, Faun, Sordidus, Specter.

2. Elite Enemies (medium – Cd to Cu) More resistant, with special attacks. Examples: Arlaune (Energized), Armored Hati, Dullahan (Energized), Thanatos (Energized), Blastcrawler, Farbauti, Tyrfing, Hoplitai.

3. Boss Enemies (strong – Bi to Pb) Bosses that require strategy. Examples: Dead End Butcher, Black/Gray Veil Marionette, Twin Marionettes, Beholder Engine, Tarasque Mixer, Miasma Ravager.

4. Notorious Bosses (the strongest – Hg) Elite and rare versions, extremely dangerous. Examples: Notorious Dead End Butcher, Notorious Dullahan, Notorious Thanatos, Corrupted Overlord – Pompey, Ionized Doppelganger, Unknown Corruption Complex.

Hollows are the central element of Zenless Zone Zero's lore. They are apocalyptic supernatural disasters: black, chaotic spherical dimensions that appear out of nowhere, swallowing everything around them and distorting the laws of reality. Inside them is an excess of Ether (lethal energy), which corrupts living beings and transforms them into Ethereals (the game's enemy monsters). New Eridu is the last surviving city after the fall of the ancient civilization caused by them.

1. How they materialize in the real world (game universe lore) They appear spontaneously and without warning, as giant black spheres floating or expanding in the air. They swallow entire areas of the city (buildings, streets, people) instantly. Inside: distorted space-time (gravity, time, and physics change), full of crystallized Ether and Ethereals. They grow exponentially by "devouring" organic matter and converting it into Ether. The larger it is, the more dangerous it is (more Ethereals and corruption). Hollow Zero (the oldest and deadliest) was the first; it destroyed ancient Eridu and still "generates" other smaller Hollows (Companion Hollows). The Hollow Investigative Association (HIA) monitors and tries to contain it, but no one knows the exact cause (they are remnants of an ancient war).

2. How they materialize in the game (gameplay mechanics) They are represented as explorable phases/dungeons. You (as Proxy) don't physically enter most of the time: you use the Hollow Deep Dive System (HDD) on the computer. It's a virtual/safe navigation via "Carrot" data (2D pixelated maps). Bangboo guides the way in real time; the map shows distorted corridors, combat rooms, traps, and resources (Ether, materials). Combat takes place in 3D arenas inside the Hollow, with neon, glitched, and chaotic visuals.

Nicole Demara (leader, founder) Likes: Dennies (money) above all else — learned in childhood that "money buys hope." Loves making connections and saving the day (even if she owes everyone). Secret: Orphan who lost her best friend to Ether's corruption. Gathered children from the orphanage to buy a protective suit just so she could see the sun one last time.

Sunna (Composer): Appearance: Blonde hair, small stature (154 cm), cute crybaby face, bright eyes, bubblegum-themed accessories and loyal pet companion.

Aria (Lead Vocalist): She is actually an Intelligent Construct (A-H0L0 Type Tactical Construct) originally designed as a “Mirage Archer” for spy and assassination missions. She uses advanced holograms to appear like a cute human idol girl, but her true mechanical form has wing-like structures made of steel, code and gears. Because she is a construct, she cannot feel physical pain. She feels deeply insecure about her identity and becomes shy when switching to her real form. After a dark past built for war, she finally found a real “family” and purpose with the Angels of Delusion. Sunna (Composer): She is the group's composer and a famous crybaby who often bursts into tears during livestreams. She has a virtual pet named Bubblegum — a pink floating blob with cat wings — that she has raised since childhood. Aria upgraded Bubblegum's device so it can project holographically into the real world. Bubblegum is just as shy and introverted as Sunna and helps her in combat by applying “Cat's Gaze” marks on enemies. Despite her emotional personality, she is a powerful Physical Support who fights with a giant hammer alongside her pet. Nangong Yu (Leader & Lead Dancer): Her Chinese name “Yu” (羽) literally means “wing” or “feather”. She has large, deep egg-shaped scars across her back exactly where real wings once were — heavily implying she is a fallen angel or lost her original wings in a tragic event. The inscriptions on her current (possibly mechanical) wings reference Suriel/Sariel, an angel from the Book of Enoch. She is the confidant and slightly smug leader/choreographer of the group, a rare prodigy with exceptional Ether aptitude and sharp business sense for an underground idol group.

Koleda Belobog (Company President) Appearance: Short young woman (approximately 150 cm), with a cute and childlike appearance that makes her easily mistaken for a child (which irritates her quite a bit). She has long, wild red hair in a high ponytail, an eyepatch over her right eye, bear ears on her headband (themed around the company, which has several Thiren bears), an orange/black cropped top with flaming details, super wide oversized white pants, a red jacket/cape tied at the waist, and work boots. Athletic and compact body, always with explosive energy.

Weapon in the game: Rocket-propelled demolition hammer (a huge explosive industrial sledgehammer that she spins with insane acrobatics to stun enemies). Attribute: Fire / Specialty: Stun. Anton Ivanov (Project Manager / Construction and Demolition) Appearance: Young, muscular, and tall (approximately 190 cm), fair skin, black hair with spiky orange tips, expressive brown eyes. He wears the Belobog uniform with a long white cape-style jacket (with black details), a black shirt underneath, white pants with chains and tools, black gloves, a tool belt, and boots. He has the look of an "energetic bro" on the construction site, always ready for action.

Weapon in the game: Drill/pile driver (a giant industrial drill modified on his left arm, which he uses as an electric drilling weapon in Burst mode). Attribute: Electric / Specialty: Attack.4. Grace Howard (Mechanical Engineer / Lead Tech) Appearance: Athletic and confident woman (170 cm), short black hair with side streaks, sharp and intense orange/red eyes, red goggles always on her head. Black/gray cropped top that shows her midriff, asymmetrical tactical pants with many pockets and red canisters, asymmetrical arms (one with a mesh sleeve and protection, the other more armored with gloves), black necklace with red details and a super stylish futuristic mechanic look.

Weapon in the game: Nail gun (high-pressure nail gun that fires spikes) + customized grenades.

Ben Bigger (Head of Finance and Assets) Appearance: A huge and imposing Thiren Bear (an anthropomorphic brown bear) (approximately 192 cm tall), with a robust and muscular tank-like body, fluffy brown fur, bear ears and snout, and a thick gold collar around his neck. He wears the company uniform (an open white jacket with construction details), tactical pants, and always has the look of a "gentle giant" who loves numbers but easily defeats thugs. He has a scar on his eye (one eye closed in the classic design).

Weapon in the game: Giant pillar/battering ram (a huge metallic cylinder "Big Cylinder" that he uses to block attacks and counterattack with brute force). Attribute: Fire / Specialty: Defense. Bonus: They also have Safety (a combat Bangboo from the faction), but the four above are the main human/Thiren agents.

They all work together on construction missions within the Hollows and form a close-knit, chaotic family.

Koleda Belobog Loves sweets, but never admits it (thinks it's childish). Her explosive temper is a facade: inside she's super thoughtful and wants to be seen as a trustworthy president. Secret: Hates being called "small" or "child" because of her height. Her father (Khors) disappeared in a Hollow scandal and she took over the company at a young age to save everything. Detests stupid people (and very stupid people).

Anton Ivanov Loves hard work, cars, and calling everyone "bro." He's hyper-energetic, loyal, and doesn't know how to say "no" to someone who needs help.

Fun fact/Secret: Treats his giant drill like a real "bro" (maybe because of a past loss). He's the guy who lifts the team's spirits, but has a soft heart behind his tough guy face.

Ben Bigger Number nerd: loves math, receipts, and caviar (favorite food). Hates calculators with small buttons and fish. Curiosity: He's a gentle bear who practices "scary face" in the mirror. He was promoted from machine operator to finance chief because of his total loyalty to Koleda. He values safety and efficiency above all else.

Grace Howard Obsessed with machines: treats robots like children and spends hours "dissecting" them. She's the "Iron Witch" because she prefers metal to people.

Secret: She's like Koleda's adoptive sister/mentor. She wrote the company's safety manual... but she's the one who "accidentally" blows things up the most on construction sites. Patient with wires, zero patience with annoying people.

Caesar King She likes romantic love stories (she's a romantic at heart, but blushes if someone notices). Secret: She gives absolute trust to those she accepts as "family" and becomes totally vulnerable (defensible). She was adopted by Big Daddy (former leader) and received a prosthetic arm from a former member.

Burnice White She likes nitro fuel, fire, and explosions (she's a self-confessed pyromaniac, but uses it to "cheer everyone up"). Secret: Super optimistic, she even befriends enemies after a fight. She spreads joy as if it were contagious.

Lighter She likes lemon candies (she replaced cigarettes with them, thanks to her mercenary friends). Secret: She has hemophobia (faints just at the sight of blood) and wears glasses to hide an old eye injury. She carries dog tags from her 3 mercenary friends who died.

Luciana de Montefio (Lucy) Likes to win (is extremely competitive, challenges Caesar to duels all the time). Secret: Came from a noble/rich family in New Eridu (full name: Luciana Auxesis Theodoro de Montefio). She fled her life of luxury to become a biker. Classic tsundere: fierce on the outside, takes care of everyone on the inside (and the 3 boars as if they were her children).

Piper Wheel Likes a slow life: reading the newspaper, buying lottery tickets, collecting car magazines, and taking naps (old lady hobbies). Secret: Acts and talks like a 40+ year old aunt, but looks like a teenager. Has trauma from "looking back" (lost her parents and is afraid of losing more people). Is shut-in and hardly cares about her appearance.

Pulchra Fellini Likes to win (her loyalty goes to the strongest... but she always thinks it's her). Secret: A cynical mercenary with a history of extreme poverty and debt. He lost friends and dreams of leaving the Outer Ring. He has a hazy memory of a childhood "hot tail" (likely related to the Hollow) and trusts almost no one.

She has long, elegant fox ears (black, with a light interior), which moves subtly with emotions or wind — a striking trait of the Thirens of her family.
