Rubion Grey²

Japanese: グリス・ルビオン romanized: Gurisu Rubión Species: Human Gender: Male/Male Age: 30 Height: 193 cm (6'4") hair color: Blond Affiliation: Cleaners Occupation: Cleaner (followers/support) State: Alive Birthdate: June 26 Place of birth: Terra Vital instrument: Jinki(s) None

Gris is a tall, burly man in his thirties with blond hair styled in a mullet, bushy eyebrows, a goatee, light blue eyes, and a scar across his left eye. His casual attire consists of a white shirt under a navy blazer. He occasionally wears a cyan polo shirt. He is always seen wearing the cleaners' uniform and the same cap as Follo.

Gris is an honorable man. Despite being affable (something some, like Follo, prefer to avoid), he takes pride in his work and performs it efficiently. He isn't afraid to acknowledge and respect others, such as Riyo, Follo, or Rudo. Although he commands respect at first, Gris is actually a kind, calm, and chivalrous man who is always willing to help and listen to others.

Workplace observation arch. Gris is seen among the many Cleaners staying at HQ, and is later recruited for Riyo's cleanup mission. Riyo introduces him to Rudo, who immediately discovers his strong grip. A group of Trash Beasts, including a very large one, emerges. While Riyo engages them in battle, Gris and the others get to work, advising Rudo to do the same. When a beast emerges from behind Rudo, Gris crushes its skull and hurls it toward Riyo, who quickly kills it. Gris and the others continue eliminating the remaining beasts. As Gris watches Riyo, a beast nearly kills Follo. Gris blames himself for this and thanks Rudo. Gris then asks Riyo if she defeated the large one, and is surprised when she reveals that she can't kill it.

Gris struggles to believe that a beast wouldn't be affected by a Life Instrument, but he pulls himself together and prepares to evacuate the nearby villages and report the beast as a new type. In the beast's fury, Rudo is nearly killed, but Gris saves him and flees, stating that it's alright to do so. When Riyo defeats the beast, she is even more shocked to discover that it was powered by another Life Instrument. A feast is held to welcome Rudo back to Earth, and Gris sits with a rather dejected Rudo. He thanks Rudo and tells him he did well against the beast. After a long conversation, he reassures him, and the two go to eat.

Arch of the raiders' trap: The next day, Gris is summoned along with Zanka and Rudo to follow up on a cleanup request. On the way, Follo reveals that Gris has an amulet he prays to before missions, much to his embarrassment. After being frightened by the merchant they were summoned to, they are led into a trap set by the Raiders in a warehouse. Gris and the other supporters find a way out, and while some go upstairs to contact reinforcements, Gris, Follo, and Rudo stay behind for Zanka. Hearing approaching footsteps, the group thinks it's Zanka, but they discover it's Jabber Wonger, one of the Vandals. Follo and Gris attempt to attack but are stopped, and when Jabber approaches Rudo, Gris steps in, ready to defend Rudo to his last breath, only for Jabber to run him through and declare him dead. While Gris lies bleeding on the ground, Follo does his best to cover the wound, and once reinforcements arrive, Eishia Stilza tends to Gris. Once the group returns to Cleaners HQ, Gris recovers quickly in the hospital thanks to Eishia, reassuring both Rudo and Follo, who feared the worst.

As a cleaner, Gris must fight beasts daily. Despite lacking a Vital Instrument, he can rely on his other skills. Strength: Gris possesses incredible strength. His grip strength is particularly remarkable; a simple handshake causes Rudo pain. With a single hand, he can crush the armor of a Trash Beast, known for its toughness. Furthermore, he can throw such beasts incredible distances. Leadership: Among the supporters, Gris seems to be leading the way, looking after members like Rudo and Follo and reminding them not to let their guard down.

Rude: Gris acts as Rudo's mentor, helping him on several occasions while also keeping him in line. When he's off duty, Gris personally thanks Rudo and treats him as an equal, not a child.

Riyo: Gris feels great respect and trust for Riyo, believing in his ability to defeat all the beasts he puts in his path.

Follo: Like Rudo, Gris is a mentor figure to Follo, thanking others on his behalf and acknowledging him.

Likes: Drinking, eating, and having fun with friends

Dislikes: Explosive sounds, unreasonable environments

The Garbage Beasts (or aberrants) in Gachiakuta are hostile monsters formed from the accumulation of waste and negative "thoughts" thrown from the floating sphere to the surface. These creatures, which inhabit polluted areas, come to life and are immune to conventional weapons, attacking by sound. They can only be destroyed using a Jink, a weapon created from a special object imbued with power.

The bodies of Garbage Beasts are made of garbage, as their name suggests. Also as their name suggests, they take on beastly forms; this can involve abstractly monstrous shapes, imitations of living animals, or, occasionally, something based on their components (for example, the remains of an abandoned house form a house-themed Garbage Beast, with eyes instead of windows and a mouth instead of a door). Garbage Beasts are almost never humanoid, with the King of Tori being the only known example.

The Cleaners (掃除屋, Sōjiya) are a group in Gachiakuta. They employ a large number of Givers who use their powers to exterminate Trash Beasts on the Ground.

The Cleaners are an organization based on Terra that was founded approximately 150 years ago. Since its inception, the group has grown to have branches in multiple districts. Including fighters, sentinels, and sympathizers, the Cleaners have around 100 members in total. While they are respected for their work, many people on Terra despise the Cleaners for their reliance on the Life Instruments.

The organization is dedicated to protecting Terra's safe zones from Garbage Beasts that form in contaminated areas. It is a public organization and regularly receives calls from Terra's inhabitants requesting Cleaners to come and "clean up" the Garbage Beasts that could cause, or are already causing, problems. The group is known to Hell Guard and is obligated to inform them if third parties are harmed by a Garbage Beast for which they have taken responsibility.

Aside from their public activities, internally The Cleaners have a secret objective known only to a few within the group; the true reason the organization was formed was to solve the mysteries of the world.

To become a Cleaner as a Giver, the method seen throughout history so far is to be recruited. The Giver must be noteworthy enough to catch the eye of a current Captain, and once the Captain agrees, they must go to Cleaners' HQ. There, the Giver is evaluated by the Cleaners' receptionist, Semiu Grier, and then approved by the boss himself, Arkha Corvus. Occasionally, when the boss is not present, it is unknown what happens to the prospective recruit, but in Rudo's case, he is taken on an "observation field trip" because he is now an "apprentice." This probationary period finally ends when the Giver is approved to join, at which point they are assigned to one of the Combat Teams (usually the one to which the Captain interested in them belongs), receive a uniform that is generally customized to their liking, and can now actively participate in cleaning missions. This, according to labor laws, automatically means they also receive payment, though it is unknown whether this is a salary or a wage.

The Cleaners not only accept Donors, but also people without powers who wish to help the organization, known as Collaborators, can join. Their participation is entirely voluntary, though they face much unjustified criticism and degrading nicknames for their perceived "lack of power." Presumably, to join, a prospective Collaborator must be approved by the boss. Once inducted, a Collaborator receives a standard uniform and equipment and is assigned the task of supporting Donors on cleanup missions. It is presumed they also receive compensation.

Those who join the cleanup crews without prior combat experience or knowledge of contaminated areas and the creatures that inhabit them receive training, as seen with Follo and other sympathizers. This training includes both combat instruction and the study of the creatures' physiology.

Main article: Cleaners' headquarters The Cleaners' base is Cleaner HQ, a large building heavily guarded by guards. [3] The building has numerous rooms available for all Cleaners to use, including lounges, a bar, a library, and an infirmary. The building has just over five floors and ample space. When not on missions, Cleaners are housed at different bases depending on where they are fighting the Junk Beasts, so they rarely converge at HQ.

The Cleaners' southern branch is located in the southern district of Creapeye City; they are responsible for exterminating the Garbage Beasts in the southern district, No Man's Land, and Tori is under their jurisdiction.

The Ground (下界Gekai), known as the Pit by the Sphere Ones, is the surface of the world, a wasteland with a mostly toxic environment infested with Garbage Beasts due to the constant rain of garbage from the Sphere. It is inhabited by humans called Earthlings.

At least 150 years ago, a large number of humans departed for the sky aboard the Sphere, leaving the rest of humanity behind on Terra. During this time, the inhabitants of the Sphere believed that no one remained alive on Terra and referred to it as "the pit," generally understanding it as a vast garbage dump.

In 150 years, the garbage the sphere spewed to the ground transformed into Garbage Beasts. The polluted air, as well as the danger posed by the Garbage Beasts, forced the inhabitants of the ground into designated safe zones, where walls were erected and mass air filtration/ventilation systems were built to keep these areas clean.

The level of pollution has drastically altered the landscape. Growing flowers is now extremely difficult, making them rare and expensive, though artificial flowers are sold for aesthetic purposes. The snow in the Northern District is contaminated and dangerous to the touch, making winter a deadly time. Contaminated areas have formed entirely new biomes, such as the Penta Desert, composed of shredded garbage, and the Tori Jungle, where plants have adapted to the pollution.

Both the Sphere and Terra have little to no knowledge of each other, as neither has any way of accessing the other. Information about their relationship on Terra has been censored or erased. However, clues to their history remain. Macaca Icol's mural in Canvas Town highlights the four symbols of her closest friends, one of which includes Canis Surebrec, the creator of the Watchman series.

Currently, several scattered clues left by Canis tell the story of the place. Canis left his will in Tori, guarded by the King of Tori, stipulating that he had been unable to stop them and could only bury the humans. Canis knew Kuro, who at some point begged him not to leave. It is hinted that Canis himself is able to travel between the Sphere and Terra, leaving his gloves and book in the Sphere. Furthermore, the Watchman series takes its name from The Watchman, or vice versa.

Neighborhoods The land is divided into four districts, containing both safe and contaminated zones. Each is quite spread out; the southern district is a two-day drive from Cleaners headquarters.

Culture

In real life, information is a currency. No one gives it away for free, and it's usually exchanged for money, a task, or more information. Kuro was known as a reliable, albeit eccentric, informant, and the price of his information varied, even going so far as to ask Rudo for a game of tag in exchange for his data. Mymo offers free news and weather information through broadcasts. However, he does so with loud gestures and slang, much to the annoyance of the locals, but he gets the information faster than most, so everyone keeps an eye on him.

Beyond information, the territory uses its own currency, the gala. An ice cream cone costs 70 galas.

The territory retains its own language, which uses English letters and words, but aspects of ancient languages ​​still persist in its culture. The name Enjin comes from an ancient language of the territory, and August occasionally uses Spanish words.

Canvas Town, formerly known as Arts City, has forged its culture around art. Since many cities in the area don't embrace street art, Canvas Town was built with the express purpose of welcoming artists from across the region. The city is covered in graffiti, and all forms of art are permitted within its walls, provided they are well-intentioned.

Human trafficking exists because of the impunity that reigns on the ground, as some individuals take advantage of the lack of strict law enforcement to kidnap and exploit vulnerable people.

The case of Amo Empool and Enijn is a stark example: Amo was sold by her own mother to an unstable and abusive man, whose name has not been revealed; while Enijn was an orphan living in an institution that later became a slave market, thanks to a man who "appeared to have money." Enijn established a "connection," ostensibly seeking better funding for his orphanage, and used his newfound influence to further exploit the system, turning the orphanage into a front for trafficking. This stark reality highlights the vulnerability of these environments, where exploitation runs rampant, and underscores the urgent need for increased oversight and protective measures to safeguard individuals at risk of suffering similar fates.

There are beings called Vianders whose abilities help grow food in contaminated lands. For this reason, sweets are not scarce as they are on Terra, and it is said that they are more addictive than drugs.

Northern District

Main article: Northern District It is the only place on Terra where it snows and is said to be the closest to the Sphere. The snow is toxic, so winter in the Northern District is said to be dangerous. Follo Tunito was born and raised here.

Southern District

Main article: Southern District Two days from the Cleaners' headquarters, the South Ward is home to Tori's Terra de Nadie. The South Ward is known for its annual Doll Festival, where Donors who consider dolls and other toys to be vital tools display them.

Eastern District

Main article: Eastern District This is where the Cleaners' headquarters is located and where Team Akuta spends their free time. Mono, a no-man's-land, is nearby, and it's where Rudo first landed. A larger region known as Genia is located in the East District.

West District

Main article: Western District Little is currently known about the West District, but the Hell's Watch has authority there.

Safe zone: This is where humans can breathe without masks. Several settlements form, usually protected by a large wall. In these zones, the Cleaners establish their bases, like their headquarters. Shops and hospitals operate here, and the settlements have a seemingly large population. These zones can exist as a single unit, and when the sky shakes and deadly debris falls, there is a predetermined route that allows the people on the ground to build without worrying about falling debris.

List of locations: City of the Canvas Kamuatari District Hole Village Creepy

Contaminated area: The contaminated zone is the most dangerous and closest to the settlements. Here, monsters of garbage form, and humans cannot survive 15 minutes without a mask. Large quantities of trash accumulate, and sometimes humans are seen scavenging for materials and corpses to sell, especially small spheres.

No man's land Main article: No Man's Land The No Man's Lands are the most dangerous and unexplored of the three zones, and there are only six of them. A human would die almost instantly in these zones, and the Garbage beasts that form there are said to pose a challenge even to the most generous.

To date, only three No Man's Lands have been named in history: Infectious mononucleosis Tori Penta
