Rudo Surebrec

15 years old, 163cm Rudo is a thin, scrawny teenager. His hair is spiky white with black tips, and he has large, almond-shaped red eyes with a thin black ring around each pupil and dark circles beneath, framed by short, dirty-blond eyebrows with brown eyelashes. Like most people in the slums, all his Sphereite clothes were dirty and worn. His outfit consisted of a loose-fitting beige vest with a square-necked hood and light brown vertical stripes similar to Shide's running down the center; he wore loose-fitting beige pants, and over these, a thick gold cloth band in the shape of the number six was tied around his calves over light brown boots. Later, he wore a navy blue hoodie as Dador and to replace the vest, which was covered in blood and had been sold by Enjin.

Due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his parents during his childhood, Rudo's hands are covered in scars from his fingertips to his elbows. Black, ring-like patterns are visible within the concentric bumps of the damaged red bands of skin. He wears dark brown gloves with large silver rings joined by brown straps in the center (a gift from Regto), over bandages that ease the excruciating pain of the scars and also allow him to avoid people's disapproving stares. He seems to only remove them when Regto is tending to his hands or when he needs to wash them.

After formally joining the Cleaners, Rudo initially wore a navy blue hoodie, but now he is seen wearing a customized version of his uniform, like all the Givers in the organization.

His new outfit consists of a beige, sleeveless zip-up hoodie with a large hood and equally large silver buttons at the top, featuring a yellow Cleaners logo badge on the right side of the chest and back. Underneath, Rudo wears a long-sleeved black compression suit with red leg details. His uniform consists of loose-fitting cream-colored cargo shorts held up by a black belt, along with two backpacks attached to his waist: one containing his full face mask and the other, junk that Rudo can use as ammunition for future battles. His footwear consists of black sneakers with straps and thick soles. His accessories include the necklace he uses for communication, his signature 3R gloves, and a yellow armband on his right bicep bearing the Cleaners symbol.

His full face mask appears to be a red, wrestler-style mask with yellow lightning bolt-shaped markings for eyebrows. The eyeholes have jagged edges, and the gas mask is crimson with spikes of the same color around the filter. Rudo's body odor is like dust.

He originally lived in the Sphere as a Sphere inhabitant among the Tribe people, but was thrown into the Pit after being falsely accused of murdering his adoptive father, Regto, who was actually killed by the Angel. Later, Enjin recruits him to join the Cleaners as a member of Team Akuta until he gathers all the pieces of the Watchman Series, which will allow him to return to the Sphere to exact his revenge.

As a result of the physical abuse and subsequent abandonment by his parents, Rudo became withdrawn and introverted, harboring a deep pain and anger that would never cease to burn within him. Being the son of a murderer, he was isolated by the tribe from a very young age, with Regto and Chiwa being the only ones who didn't see him as a bad person. Rudo, in particular, has an obsession with discarded trash, often collecting useless objects and repairing them so they can serve their purpose once again.

After being framed for Regto's death (even Chiwa called him a murderer) and exiled, Rudo loses all faith in humanity and develops a burning thirst for revenge. He vows to return to the Sphere, kill every single inhabitant, and make them regret calling him filthy before casting him into the Abyss. Because of his past, Rudo has serious trust issues and is reluctant to befriend the people of Earth. Initially, he makes it clear that he is only willing to cooperate with them to achieve his goal of returning to the top. However, Rudo slowly begins to form bonds with the people he meets on Earth, primarily the Cleaners.

According to Semiu, Rudo carries something akin to a curse within him. This "curse," fueled by hatred, constantly grows inside him due to all the recent events. This is most evident when, after being freed from Amo's ability, he immediately begins attacking her in retaliation. Rudo is immensely emotionally attached to those he considers his friends, so when someone he cares about is in danger or injured, he feels guilty and powerless for not being able to protect them. For example, when Jabber impaled Gris with his Vital Instrument, Rudo fell into a depressive state until he realized that Gris had actually survived.

Although he initially wanted to find a way back to the Sphere, Rudo gradually abandons this goal and becomes interested in Earth. After discovering his ancestor, Canis Surebrec, and that his lineage originates there and not from the Sphere, Rudo becomes curious and sets himself a new objective: to investigate his ancestor and his connection to Earth, as well as his true origins. Following his private conversation with Arkha Corvus, the leader of the Cleaners, Rudo embarks on a personal mission to uncover all the secrets and mysteries of the world, and has now fully integrated into the life of a Cleaner, calling himself "Rudo Surebrec the Cleaner," no longer feeling like a stranger to the Sphere. This change in Rudo becomes evident during his first solo Cleaner job. However, during his speech to Zodyl on the flying Garbage Beast, he states that he hasn't entirely forgotten his anger toward the Sphere.

Rudo is an incredibly determined person, and once he sets his mind to something, he doesn't stop until he achieves it. One example is when he was determined to destroy the core of the flying artificial Garbage Beast to the point of being able to withstand Noerde's lethal beam attacks. Another example is during the Doll Festival, where he decides to risk his life to become a pseudo-god for the sole purpose of destroying the Supreme Ruler.

Rudo is also somewhat awkward when it comes to social interaction, as shown by his lack of social cues, which stems from his early isolation. He struggles with things like reading people's feelings, leading to misunderstandings with his classmates, such as when Rudo rejected the new uniform Follo made for him. While Follo took it as Rudo disliking it, Rudo meant he didn't want Follo to waste his time because of it.

He also struggles to express himself with words, so when he doesn't know how to respond without hurting others, he tends to simply reply with short words or remain silent and respond with glances. He is also honest and direct, making things clear, as when he told Kuro that he wouldn't hit him for what he put his friends through if he apologized to Riyo. He likes: Sweets, so much so that they drive him crazy. Dislikes: Spicy food, little spheres, people who step on important things.

Enhanced Strength: Despite being an inexperienced fighter in normal combat, Rudo is immensely powerful in terms of physical strength, as he was able to cut a dinosaur-sized Trash Beast using a broken roof and even shatter it to pieces with a single blow without even using a vital instrument. Enhanced reflexes: Rudo has demonstrated incredibly fast reactions, as seen when he is able to outrun the Apostles and even dodge some shotgun blasts in mid-air. Enhanced resistance: Rudo has proven to be incredibly resilient, to the point of surviving even his own attacks.

Improved Stamina: In most fights, Rudo shows almost no exhaustion even in a place with foul air like the Ground, specifically in Mono, the most dangerous No Man's Land. [18]

Extreme Determination: Rudo possesses great determination and conviction that strengthened as he grew up as a Cleaner. From childhood, he endured intense pain in his hands and constant beatings for being the son of a murderer, but he always persevered. Even when he was thrown from the Sphere, he didn't lower his head and strengthened his character to the point of feeling no fear or hesitation in battle. He endures pain without showing discomfort, even with a broken arm (as seen when Gil broke it), because he has become accustomed to pain.

Improbable weapon mastery: Thanks to the power of his Vital Instrument and his creativity, Rudo can get the most out of any object in improvised combat, handling them with great dexterity and skill in versatile and unpredictable ways, with an unorthodox fighting style. Unarmed combat proficiency: Although he didn't have much experience in fighting or any form of combat, Rudo proved to be very skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

General skill level: Although not a very skilled fighter on his own, Rudo is very creative when using the Vital Instruments he creates with 3R, as he was able to defeat a Trash Beast using a keyboard to attack its vital points from a distance.

Vital instrument

Rough Gloves 3R: A pair of gloves that are part of the Watchman series. Creation of Vital Instruments: Upon contact with a discarded object, Rudo is able to transform it into a Vital Instrument, maximizing its potential. He can activate three Vital Instruments simultaneously or concentrate their power into a single one, significantly doubling or tripling its initial strength. Each object he uses disintegrates after fulfilling its purpose.

The Cleaners are made up of Donors who use their powers to exterminate the Soil Trash Beasts, led by Arkha Corvus. The Cleansers is an organization formed on Earth. Since its founding, the group has wielded enormous influence on the planet. Everyone knows what a "Giver" and a Life Instrument are—something some fear and most respect. Since then, the group has grown to 100 members and completes missions daily. They are dedicated to protecting the Ground's safe zones from the Garbage Beasts that form in contaminated areas. The group is a public organization and regularly receives calls from Ground residents requesting that the Cleaners "clean up," which involves sending nearby Garbage Beasts back to their zones. The Cleaners are known to Hell Guard and are usually required to report any harm to civilians caused by a Garbage Beast they have taken responsibility for.

The Cleaners have a secret objective, known only to a few: the reason the organization was formed was to solve the mysteries of the world.

The Cleaners not only accept Donors, but also non-powered individuals who wish to help the organization, known as Sympathizers. Their participation is entirely voluntary, though they face numerous unwarranted criticisms and derogatory nicknames for their perceived "powerlessness" in the face of Terra's inhabitants. Presumably, to join, a prospective Sympathizer must be approved by the boss. Upon joining, a Sympathizer receives a standard uniform and equipment and is assigned to support Donors on cleaning missions. It is presumed they also receive compensation. Those who join the cleaners without prior combat knowledge or experience with contaminated areas and the garbage beasts they entail receive training; this includes combat training and the study of garbage beasts.

Locations

Headquarters of the cleaning company

The Cleaners' base is Cleaner HQ, a large building heavily guarded by donors. The building has numerous rooms for the Cleaners to use, such as lounges, a bar, a library, and an infirmary. The building has just over five floors and ample space. When not on missions, the Cleaners stay at different bases depending on where they are fighting the Garbage Beasts, so they rarely converge at HQ.

South Branch The Cleaners' Southern Branch is located in the southern district of Creapye City. They preside over and exterminate the Garbage Beasts in the Southern District, No Man's Land. Tori is under their jurisdiction.

Organization The organization has approximately 100 members and is led by Arkha Corvus. Within the Cleaners organization, the 100 members are divided into three groups: fighters, guards, and sympathizers.

Fighters The combat group is composed of the organization's Donors. These members are capable of destroying the Garbage Beasts and typically lead a support team on missions. The combatants can face the aberrant beasts one-on-one, hence their name, and are the only ones capable of fighting them.

Supporters The support group is composed of ordinary humans who offer their skills, whether strength or weapons proficiency, to support donors in battle. They make up the majority of the Cleaners' organization and typically work in groups of up to five, led by a single donor. Normally, five support members are assigned to a mission, unless it's to the Forbidden Zone, where fewer non-powered support members and more donors are sent.

Teams In order for Cleaners to manage and organize Donors, they need to join a team. Teams include both fighters and donors unable to fight. Fighters are divided into the following six teams:

Akuta Akuta (アクタ, Akuta) whose members are:

Enjin (Leader) Rudo Surebrec (Fighter) Riyo Reaper (Fighter) Zanka Nijiku (Fighter) Eishia Stilza Shikage

Anxious Eager (イーガー, Īgā) whose known members are:

Tamsy Caines (Combatant) Delmon Gates (Combatant)

Child Child (チャイルド, Chairudo) is a group made up of children and supervised by Bro. Its known members are:

Brother Santa (Supervisor) Dear Santa (Fighter) Guita Hebby Fantasia (Combatant) Others Beauty

Beauty (ビューティー, Byūtī) whose members are currently unknown.

Danger Danger (デンジャー, Denjā), whose members are the strongest of the Cleaners. Unlike the other teams, Danger lacks cooperation because all its members are solitary by nature and have few social skills. Donors with Vital Instruments make teamwork difficult, or difficult-to-manage members are often included on Team Danger.

Otto Adderoy (Combatant) Epalte Adderoy (Combatant) 3 unnamed members

Forehead The Front (Furonto), whose members answer directly to the Cleansers' leader, Arkha. Its known members are:

The world is divided into two main regions: Earth, the surface of the world inhabited by humans called Groundlings, and the Sphere, a floating island suspended above Earth inhabited by humans called Sphereites. The two are separated by the Border. The Sphereites live in relative comfort compared to the inhabitants of Earth. Over time, the Sphere has polluted Earth by constantly dumping garbage, leading to serious environmental hazards and a stark contrast in living conditions between the two.

Floor Main article: Earth A large amount of garbage is dumped from the Sphere, because of this many areas on the ground are toxic and uninhabitable [ 1 ] in addition to the safe zones that were built in places that are not in the predetermined path of the Sphere. [ 2 ]

Safe zone This is where humans can breathe without masks. Several villages form here, usually protected by a large wall. It is also in these areas that the Cleaners established their bases, like their headquarters. Shops and hospitals operate at full capacity, and the settlements appear to have large populations. These areas can exist as a whole even when the sky shifts and deadly debris falls. There is a predetermined route that allows Earth's inhabitants to build without worrying about falling debris.

Contaminated area The contaminated zone is the closest danger zone to the settlements. Here, garbage beasts are created, and humans cannot survive 15 minutes without a mask. Large amounts of garbage can be found, and occasionally, humans can be seen collecting materials and corpses to sell, especially orbs.

Main article: No Man's Land The most dangerous of all are the "No Man's Lands." The Cleaners have determined that there are a total of six of these locations. Any average person who enters will die almost instantly. The Garbage Beasts in these areas are tougher than usual and dangerous even for Givers.

Sphere Main article: Sphere The Sphere is a mobile island suspended in the sky by unknown means, and how to reach it is unknown. Because the people in the sky have been dumping their garbage on the people below for years, this has caused soil contamination. The Sphere itself is divided between rich and poor. The rich consume most of the resources, and their leftovers are consumed by those living in the slums.

Slums The slums are where the tribe members, descendants of criminals, live. This area is disadvantaged and poor; however, crime is relatively low because the tribe members try to clear their names. Conditions here are similar to those in the Ground, where garbage is abundant and widespread. The buildings here, compared to those of the upper class, are poorly constructed, with many walls that don't even fit together. Population density is also very high, with houses crammed together compared to the upper class.

Both Earth and Sphere use a language that is yet to be named. It is used in all Earthly writing, such as signs and billboards, and has its own alphabet. There is also a variant of the language similar to katakana or hiragana. A prominent example of this variant can often be seen on the backs of cleaners' uniforms, just below the emblem.

Floor Main article: Hell's Guard

The government of the Ground is currently unknown, but the main authoritarian force is the Hell's Watch. They focus on suppressing criminal activity, mainly the Givers who abuse their abilities to commit crimes in the Ground.

Sphere Main article: Apostles

The government of the Sphere is currently unknown, but the main authoritarian force is the Apostles; they are in charge of maintaining peace in the Sphere by preventing people from committing crimes.

Religion Sphere The Sphere has books about gods, although the Sphere's spiritual beliefs are currently unknown.

Floor Earth doesn't have much knowledge or understanding of the concept of divine beings or deities. When Mymo mentioned the concept of God, none of the Cleaners nor Gountess Knock seemed to recognize the word, much less its meaning.

Among the Groundlings, there are those who worship the garbage thrown from the Sphere, calling it "Blessing from Heaven," whether it is rotten food or discarded items that pierce their bones or crush their flesh, they call it a blessing and pay homage to it and force others to do the same.
