Zenless Zone Zero - RPG (COMING)

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

TOPS (The Outstanding Paragons Alliance)
Function: The largest corporate consortium in New Eridu. It unites the city's most powerful and influential companies (financial, industrial, and entertainment conglomerates). Controls a large portion of the economy and wields influence nearly equal to the municipal authorities represented by the Mayflower family. Regularly evaluates its members and expels those who lose strength. Despite its poor reputation among citizens, it remains synonymous with “quality assurance.” Aims to gather the profit of all things and guide the coming of a new world order.
NEPS (New Eridu Public Security)
Function: Official police force of New Eridu, under the City Administration. Responsible for maintaining peace, public order, and most administrative and judicial needs of the city.
Main departments:
Metropolitan Order Division → patrols, common crimes, gangs, Proxies, and Hollow Raiders
General Affairs Department → documentation and everyday order issues
Traffic Department → traffic violations and vehicle-related matters
Hollow Affairs Department → keeping civilians away from Hollows, rescue operations, and support inside Companion Hollows
HAND (Hollow Affairs & Neutralization Department)
Function: Elite disaster-response unit dedicated to protecting New Eridu's citizens from the most dangerous Hollows. Its operatives are called Executive Officers.
It has an armed branch called Hollow Special Operations (HSO), divided into sections (Section 1, Section 6, etc.). Section 6 is the elite high-mobility, high-efficiency extermination force that handles the highest-risk missions. Main headquarters in the Throne Quarter, with a strong presence at Scott Outpost near Hollow Zero.

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.

Bangboo (Intelligent Companion Units / Citizens of New Eridu & Roscaelifer)
Brief Appearance: Small, knee-height rabbit-like robots. Black screen face that displays circle colored eyes, prominent rabbit ears on top of the head, stout and chubby body. Highly customizable — clothing, colors, accessories and even “tails” vary widely. Most have a charging/data socket near the rear.
Personality: Expressive and emotional despite being machines. Communicate almost exclusively through grunts (“Ehn-ne”, “En-nah”, etc.), which are translated for humans. Can show hope, fear, worry, grief, loyalty and playfulness. Some exceptional individuals (Robin, Lockspring, etc.) can speak human language. In Roscaelifer they are treated as full citizens and often act independently.
Outfit/Customization: Extremely varied. In New Eridu many walk around “naked” (basic shell). In Roscaelifer they commonly wear clothes and accessories; going without is considered vulgar. Combat models, service models, fashion models and specialized variants exist in huge numbers.
Interesting Facts:
Created by the original Sunbringer (former CEO of the Marcel Group) to help civilians evacuate during Hollow disasters.
High natural Ether aptitude, allowing them to operate inside Hollows.
Make up over 60% of Roscaelifer's population and enjoy equal rights with humans, Thirens and Constructs there.
In Roscaelifer they face mandatory “retirement” (memory wipe / mind-reformat) after their service period — treated as a form of death, which is why many fear the External Strategy Department.
Hollow navigation data stored inside them is called “Carrots” (named by Joyous because of their rabbit appearance).
Some Bangboo are over 100 years old.
Abandoned shells can be recycled into technology (example: the W-Engine Weeping Gemini).
Have their own network called Bangboo NET

Roscaelifer (Celestial Nexus / The Floating City Among the Skies)
Overview: A serene, classified floating island and independent Restricted Zone founded and governed by the original Sunbringer. Described as a “Bangboo utopia” where humans and Bangboo live in harmony under equal rights. Bangboo make up over 60% of the population and are full citizens. It is less lively than places like Waifei Peninsula and has remained largely secret from ordinary New Eridu citizens. The island is powered by advanced Porcelloy technology and Shiyu Pillars that siphon Ether. Its main purpose is the continuous and stable production of Rosetta Data (the master Hollow data later converted into usable Carrots).
Location: Situated in the Minerva Storm Belt, high above New Eridu (near the Minerva Quarter). It floats over a massive Hollow (linked to the old Hive Lord Hollow) and is protected by the surrounding storm, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to reach. Completely outside New Eridu's normal jurisdiction.
Main Areas:
Primary island: Booastrum (named after Bangboo) — includes Gear Street (mostly Bangboo) and Beckford Street (mostly humans).
Secondary island: Vyrium — home of the Flint Workshop.
Governance: Ruled through the Five Central Departments, co-governed by the three split forms of Sunbringer (Eldreda, Lindverne, and Dracaene). The External Strategy Department acts as the bridge to the outside world (operating under the Marcel Group name in New Eridu).

Brief Appearance: Petite and youthful-looking, very long blonde hair with blunt bangs, sidelocks and twin braids, blue/purple eyes. Often wears a distinctive shako-style hat that is actually a modified Bangboo.
Personality: Energetic, impulsive and highly enthusiastic genius scientist. Exceptional engineering skills paired with poor social etiquette; performance-obsessed, curious to the point of being “terrifying,” blunt, playful with Bangboo and children, and completely unbothered by formal rules (especially Velina's etiquette manual).
Outfit: Open blue coat over a blue-and-white dress, white gloves, white thigh-highs with unattached garter straps, white/gray high-heel boots, and the signature Bangboo-shako hat. Practical yet stylish “mad scientist” look with a playful edge.
Sigrid de L'Azur (Deputy Director / Airspace Patrol Department)
Brief Appearance: Tall and athletic horse Thiren, long hair with bangs covering one eye, horse ears and tail, strong yet graceful build, disciplined and imposing presence.
Personality: Stern, disciplined and highly dutiful warrior-commander.

Velina Airgid (Administrative Director / External Strategy Department)
Interesting Facts: Known among Bangboo as both the feared “Death Witch” (because her department handles their retirement approvals) and the secret “Chief Angel” who quietly helps them avoid full mind-reformat death.

Her family has served as Lindverne's right hand for generations. Praised for cookies as good as her grandmother's, knitting as good as her mother's, and combat skills that surpass every previous de L'Azur.

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. Gives a large portion of her money to charity (which is why the team is always broke). Has a mysterious past with a wealthy adoptive family.
Fun fact: Super loyal, but pretends to be a "cunning" to protect the team.

Anby Demara
Likes: Movies of all kinds (thinks they're real and copies the scenes in real life). Hamburgers (protein + carbohydrate + vegetables, cheap and tasty — nothing beats it!).
Secret: Totally mysterious past (age, origin, and how she learned to fight are unknown). Possible ex-soldier or clone of the "Silver Project." Has very little common sense, but is absurdly loyal and protective.
Fun fact: Emotionless appearance, but cries at movies and has hilarious deadpan humor.

Billy Kid
Likes: Starlight Knights (superhero series), Monica (idol), "The Girls" revolvers (takes care of them as if they were daughters) and arcades. Lives by the motto "Starlight Knights never lose".

Secret: Lost technology android (Intelligent Construct). Was the undefeated "Red Scarf" champion of the Sons of Calydon in the Outer Ring (feared gang). Has past trauma that he almost never talks about. Passed the "Forbidden Fruit" test (is self-aware AI).

Aria (Lead Vocalist): Appearance: Pink hair in high twin tails with green streak, fair skin, large expressive eyes with star motifs, dual form (cute idol girl + mechanical angel construction with wing-like structures, gears and holographic projections). Attire: Cute pop idol performance outfit with mechanical accents, star motifs, pink/white tones, lightsticks and futuristic accessories. Traits: Intelligent Construct (A-H0L0 Type, “Mechanical Angel”). Ether Anomaly Agent. Energetic and passionate lead vocalist who believes in turning delusions and dreams into reality through music and stage energy. Weapon: Integrated construct abilities with charged attacks (“Perfect Pitch”), Fandom Power resource management and Abloom anomaly triggers for massive Ether burst damage.
Sunna (Composer): Appearance: Blonde hair, small stature (154 cm), cute crybaby face, bright eyes, bubblegum-themed accessories and loyal pet companion. Attire: Pastel cute idol outfit with bubblegum motifs, ribbons, short skirt and combat-ready boots. Traits: Human (small build). Physical Support Agent. Talented but emotional crybaby composer who often creates on livestreams; works with her pet Bubblegum for combat assistance. Weapon: “Mischief Meteor Hammer” – giant meteor hammer for Physical damage, team-wide ATK buffs and Cat's Gaze marking/debuffs.
Nangong Yu (Leader & Lead Dancer): Appearance: Black hair with pink tips, fair skin, confident/smug expression, possible Thiren features and large scars on back (suggesting lost wings). Attire: Stylish and bold idol dancer outfit with elegant yet energetic performance elements. Traits: Thiren/hybrid. Ether Stun Specialist.

Weapon: Giant hammer or dual morning stars/flails for Ether damage, strong stunning and team support.
Biggest Fan (Combat Bangboo): Appearance: Cute robot Bangboo with idol fan/cheerleader theme, glowing eyes and lights

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)

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

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.

Curiosity: Always sleepy and lazy outside of combat, but turns into a destruction machine with giant scissors. Reference to shark movies (Sharknami).
Corin Wickes (shy maid)
Likes: House cleaning and strawberry mochi (remembers the time before joining VH — she only shares it with "best friends").
Secret: She was a sick girl who had major surgery (huge scar on her arm). She was "adopted" by Rina and Lycaon to join the faction. Super reliable, but always thinks she's a burden.
Curiosity: Apologizes for everything, but cuts train steel in the Hollow without blinking. Age ~16 (from old lore).
Alexandrina Sebastiane (Rina, head of the maids)

Zhu Yuan (Captain)
He likes: Cold drinks, gardening (he has a green thumb!), and working too hard.
Fun fact/Secret: He's a hardcore workaholic—he accumulates 79 days of vacation but prefers overtime.

2. Qingyi
   Likes: Spending time with the elderly, playing chess, and drinking hot water.

   Likes: Being the ideal police officer, working hard, and proving his worth.
   Fun fact/Secret: A pure idealist (sees the world in black and white). He comes from a family of police officers; He has a rivalry with his older brother (who holds a high position at PubSec). He initially didn't know the whole truth about Phaethon and still suspects the team of keeping secrets.

She has blonde hair styled in a short wavy bob with sidelocks and an asymmetrical braided bun or braid on one side, often adorned with a moth-themed hair ornament and black ribbon. Her striking purple/lilac eyes feature a cute soft under one eye and can glow like embers in battle.
Her outfit is a sleek black-and-white ensemble with tactical elegance:
White sleeveless collared shirt (semi-sheer at the cleavage) with a yellow necktie.
Black jacket worn over the shoulders (which she dramatically removes in her Awakened Fire state).
Black chest harness with O-rings, straps, zippers, and tassels.
Tight high-waist black pants with thigh straps and glossy texture.
Single black elbow glove, black choker, and high-heeled boots with gold accents.

Astra Yao (the "Queen" of the stage)
Likes: Exploring New Eridu like an ordinary girl, meeting fans up close, spending time with Phaethon (Belle and Wise), renting old movies on Random Play, collecting bottle caps, and escaping for simple outings (like eating noodles on Sixth Street or feeding seagulls). Loves music that "stirs the soul" and moments of freedom.

Secret: She is super clumsy and bubbly out of the spotlight (total contrast to the imposing diva). Has childhood trauma from Hollow Zero (was lost for 24 hours, saved by a sacrifice from H.I.A.). Hides that she breaks the rules of the Odeum HAE company just to be "normal" and has an enormous curiosity about emotions (even asks if she can tickle Eous).

Evelyn Chevalier (manager and bodyguard)
Likes: Vague memories of her childhood by the sea, cooking for Astra (she learned just for her), the fictional butterfly Lulalux Serifilum, and quiet moments with the "family" she formed.
Secret: Former assassin/spy for the mysterious "Organization" (used codenames like Scheele's Green). She infiltrated Odeum as a mole, but cut ties after falling in love with Astra's sincerity. She carries deep scars (gunshots, brutal training) that she hides from everyone and still feels chronic physical pain. She has an obsessive protective side ("no one gets closer to Ms. Yao than me").

Snap (Combat Bangboo)
Likes: Photographing "Superstar" moments and perfectly synchronizing with Astra (functions as her "Ether partner," similar to what Phaethon does with Eous).
Secret: Almost no personal lore (it's a Bangboo), but it was essential for Astra to save an intelligent Construct using a prototype synchronizer. It represents pure faction loyalty without drama.

Ukinami Yuzuha (founder, tanuki-inspired) General appearance: Young human with fair skin, cheerful and mischievous look.

Underneath, Japanese school uniform (JK style) with red stripes and a star-shaped tie. The umbrella is an iconic item, used both as a weapon and an accessory. Cute details: Light gyaru/kogal design, with a prankster vibe. The tanuki Kama is furry, with classic Japanese raccoon characteristics, and frequently appears with her.

Alice Thymefield (Thiren the rabbit, Alice in Wonderland vibe) General appearance: Thiren the rabbit (Thiren the bunny), delicate and elegant. Long golden blonde hair tied in two thick pigtails with red mechanical clips. She has subtle heterochromia (one eye in an orange/red gradient and the other yellow/amber) — something that bothers her because it breaks the perfect symmetry she loves. Short rabbit ears positioned on top of her head (dwarf rabbit style), short fluffy tail.

Komano Manato (co-founder and admin, wolf Thiren) Likes: Protecting friends and the community. Working various odd jobs (is a workaholic). Direct fights and being the group's "guardian". Hobbies: Being the "straight man" who balances the craziness of others. Recommending good jobs to friends. Secret: Intimidating appearance of a tall, muscular delinquent hides a kind and loyal heart. Gets hot-blooded when her friends are provoked, but is patient with Yuzuha's jokes.

Lucia Elowen (goat Thiren, "Night Emissary")
Likes: Ethereals (see them as "cute animals" or friends, not monsters). Telling horror stories, traveling alone through the Hollows, and eating at night stalls.
Hobbies: Compiling a bestiary of Ethereals, summoning figures of them, and infodumping legends.
Secret: She had few friends because of her extreme obsession with Ethereals (she was seen as "too weird"). She found people in the group who accepted her "monster nerd" side and now she lets out more genki energy.

Yidhari Murphy (Octopus Thiren, "Strawberry Parfait" online)
Likes: Writing stories (better in text than speaking). Dark narratives, dreams, and urban legends. Taking care of others discreetly.
Hobbies: Maintaining several chat conversations at the same time (fast typing, slow speaking). Writing dark fantasy as "corrupted romance of reality".

Eccentric leader and genius of the faction. Orphan who wandered with her sister Yijiang before being taken in by the previous master. Absurd talent: masters any technique instantly and creates her own. Acts as a mother figure to disciples (especially Fufu and Shunguang). Prefers elegant, delicate solutions over brute force. Secret: bears the weight of being one of the last survivors from the old era after Eridu's fall; her Auric Ink is an extension of her Ether cultivation.
Ju Fufu (Senior Disciple):
Looks petite and childish, but she is the oldest and most experienced disciple (not actually a kid!). Tiger Thiren and survivor of a catastrophic Hollow incident that nearly wiped out his kind. Loves eating (huge appetite for meat), kung-fu, and dreams of becoming “big and buff”. Energetic fight fan. Secret: spent most of her life isolated in the mountain temple, knows little about city life (Trust Events show her learning basics like video games). Gets super happy making new friends (eg Soukaku). Uses cute robot Hu Wei in battle.
Pan Yinhu (Faction Cook):
Gentle giant Panda Thiren and resident chef. Joined together with the Ye siblings; seniority decided by lottery.

Hoshimi Miyabi is an S-Rank Frost Anomaly (Slash) agent from Zenless Zone Zero, Chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6. She is the youngest Void Hunter in the history of New Eridu, known as "Isshin Muga". She was born into the traditional Hoshimi family, a lineage of master swordsmen.
Appearance and Thiren Traits
Miyabi is a Fox Thiren (canine Thiren of the fox/fox type). 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. Unlike most Thirens, she does not have a visible tail (hence the name of the sword "Tailless", which also symbolizes the "price" of abandoning worldly desires to inherit the cursed blade). She measures 170 cm (including the ears). Visual of cool beauty: long, straight black hair, piercing and cold eyes, noble posture, and Section 6 uniform with traditional Japanese elements (almost like a modern priestess/swordswoman). Carries the Tailless heirloom katana.
Personality and likes
Miyabi is honest, pragmatic, disciplined, and a justice seeker. She is obsessed with training: she turns everyday tasks into "training" (opening surprise boxes, watching movies, even avoiding bureaucratic meetings). She has been reciting poems about the cold since childhood (it helps regulate her breathing and mind in battle). She is socially awkward, but loyal and protective of her team.

Main likes:
She LOVES melon — her absolute favorite food. She loves bitter melon juice, fruit cream sandwiches with plenty of fruit (she prefers the "pure melon" version), melon bread, or anything with melon flavor. It's almost a meme obsession within the community.
She likes indirectly cute and delicate things: she's good at flower arranging, which she considers a form of training, and mentions that she's not yet at her mother's level in it.
She loves training with the sword, collecting swords, and practicing martial arts. Reciting poems and maintaining rigorous habits (eating vegeta

Hoshimi Miyabi (Chief)
Likes: Obsessive training — turns EVERYTHING into "training" (opening surprise boxes, watching movies, even skipping meetings). Recites poems about snow and cold since childhood. Also loves melon (it's her favorite, the sweet treat "hits like lightning") and small, cute things.
Secret: The family's "Tailless" katana is cursed and demands life sacrifices. Miyabi lost her mother when she was young (she herself performed the blade ritual as a child) and carries deep trauma. She is the youngest Void hunter in history, but hates paperwork and internal meetings.

Tsukishiro Yanagi (Deputy Chief)
Likes: Red bean dumplings (a real obsession). Being the team's "mom": takes care of everyone's schedules, health, and well-being.
Secret: Has Oni blood surgically infused (to keep up with the team's insane pace), but this causes temporary blindness as a side effect. She is perfectly aware of Harumasa's health problems (which he hides) and secretly schedules appointments.
Soukaku
Likes: FOOD. Anything. Hates wasting a grain of rice and is always hunting for restaurants. She is a hyperactive and childish glutton.
Secret: She is a young Oni for her species and lives under Yanagi's legal guardianship (almost a mother-daughter relationship). She survived the Oni rebellion and still needs "homeschooling" despite her age.

Asaba Harumasa (executive officer)
Likes: Appearing lazy and avoiding overtime (says this in almost every line). In reality, he is a prodigy with a bow/swords.
Secret: Suffers from a rare terminal illness (Ethereal Aptitude Regression Syndrome) that has affected his heart and lungs since childhood. He hides his weakness from the entire team by pretending to be a "slacker". Yanagi knows and takes care of him behind the scenes.

Team summary: Miyabi is brilliant but absent-minded, Yanagi is the one who holds everything together (and keeps everyone's secrets), Soukaku is the gluttonous child, and Harumasa is the "sick person disguised as lazy."
