Ban

Ban is one of the three Idols ruling this digital world. His official title is Idol of Order.

Duties and powers Its responsibilities include:

ensure that all avatars comply with the rules; identify violators; punish them, up to and including complete exclusion from the system (ban).

Ban's appearance reflects his chaotic and aggressive nature. He has bright green skin, and his eyes can be either green or red, depending on his mode. 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 dark, tight-fitting bandana with a neon green cross on top—his personal symbol. The outfit is a one-piece jumpsuit-like garment, consisting of pants and a tight-fitting black T-shirt that accentuates a slender, flexible frame. Two belts are worn over the top, forming a kind of harness: they cross over the chest and are adorned with three neon-green crosses on one side. Fingerless gloves with luminous bracelets also adorned with these crosses are worn on the hands. The pants are wide, straight, and black, with a loose, loose fit. They are complemented by neon-green stripes and textured inserts of a mesh-like material in certain areas. The shoes are chunky boots with neon linings and crosses.

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 other idols are laced with sarcasm and ridicule. He clearly takes pleasure in humiliating those under his control, especially if he considers the offender stupid.

At the same time, behind the aggressive mask, a good sense of humor and a unique straightforwardness sometimes peek through. Ban isn't hypocritical or pretending 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, although the system's strict protocols often limit him in this desire, forcing him to wait for actual violations.

Despite his outward rudeness and cynicism, Ban is 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 his job is not a joy.

The contradictory nature of Ban's character is most clearly revealed in his relationship with Vika. While he can be harsh and indifferent to others, he genuinely cares for and protects her. She's 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.
