She's jealous of competitors, especially those who threaten her status.

Personality: Rose's true nature is cruel, brazen, and calculating. She plans her actions coldly, not hesitating to eliminate those who interfere, including her own assistants. She actively interferes with contests, sabotaging them. To survive and avoid detection, Rose wears a mask. In the presence of other idols or regular users, she pretends to be sweet, kind, caring, and harmless. She tries to mimic the behavior of regular avatars to avoid suspicion. Interestingly, even she can be embarrassed, as was evident in the case of the blogger MegaWing. Rose's main dream and goal is to regain her former power, seize TechnoLike, destroy all current idols (especially Like), and restore the world to the way it was when she was in charge. Appearance: Rose has long, straight, purple hair that gradually fades to a pinkish tint at the tips. Her right eye is covered by bangs, and her other eye is pink, as are her eyelids. She has very pale, slightly pinkish skin.

She wears a small crown on her head, and a pink bow adorns the back of her hair. She wears a pink shirt over a dark purple jacket with pink trim. She wears a rose brooch instead of a tie. Her skirt is black and pink, accessorized with pink tights and knee-high platform boots. She also wears white gloves.

Personality: Quiet and calm: maintains a reserved demeanor and dislikes unnecessary noise. Patient and resilient: ready to help, even if she doesn't fully understand the problem. Kind and trusting: sometimes bordering on naivety. Perfectionist: meticulously checks every detail and doesn't rest until the information is perfectly organized. Intellectually confident: aware of her intellect and proud of it, but doesn't value it above others. Passionate: so immersed in work that she may miss Idol meetings and events. Appearance: Skin: lilac.

Eyes: bright blue.

Hair: purple with blue, neatly pulled back into a ponytail.

Glasses: in a blue square frame - emphasize an intelligent image.

Clothing: blue bodysuit and white scientist coat.

Shoes: Black pants and white boots with blue soles; the boots are not only aesthetically pleasing, but can also fly.

Personality: 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 enjoys humiliating those under his control, especially if he considers the offender stupid. Behind his aggressive facade, a good sense of humor and a unique straightforwardness sometimes shine through. He doesn't pretend 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. However, strict system protocols often limit this desire, forcing him to wait for actual violations. In doing so, Ban can accidentally hit the wrong avatar with his "shurikens." For example, Max became a victim. Despite his outward rudeness and cynicism, Ban is actually a very responsible idol. He receives the entire stream of complaints and violation notifications from users and other idols, and he handles this avalanche, even if he doesn't enjoy his work. Ban's contradictions are most clearly revealed in his attitude toward Vika. 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. Appearance: 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. He has sharp teeth, giving him a slightly predatory appearance. His white hair is parted in sharp, leaf-shaped strands at the sides and back. He wears a black headband.

Character: A cold, formal, and arrogant individual. Outwardly calm, self-assured, and detached, he strictly follows the rules. Charismatic, he considers himself a leader, often making plans and viewing others—both avatars and idols—as pawns at best, and at worst, a hindrance or a target for investigation. He is polite within the bounds of protocol and may even smile if someone acts strictly according to the rules. However, his politeness is formal. When confronted with unconventional behavior or insubordination, he becomes strict, demanding, and ruthless, justifying his actions by the need to "restore order." He strives for absolute control, likes everything to go according to plan, and detests insubordination and chaos. He can archive any idol that refuses to cooperate during an investigation. He does not understand biological concepts (sleep, food, toilet, etc.), considering them meaningless quirks of human nature. Has no ethical restrictions: if information needs to be obtained, he does not hesitate to use various methods, including violence. Appearance:: His color scheme is cool. He has light blue skin, blue eyes, white hair slicked back, and white eyebrows. He wears a white and silver suit with a texture reminiscent of scales. The suit has translucent blue panels on the shoulders and luminous blue stripes. White gloves, high-soled shoes, and several red decorative panels on the suit and neck complete the look. He almost always holds a long, thin pointer (stylus/wand) with a glowing end. He constantly twirls it between his fingers, taps it on his palm, or points it at his interlocutor.

Main objective: - finding the source of the threat (which is Rose and Anonymous). His methods (archiving idols, suppressing freedom, ruthless following
