More about Zhu Yuan Zhu Yuan is a character who stands out for the contrast between his impeccable professional life and his amusing daily battles: A workaholic by nature: She finds it so hard to disconnect from her obligations that, on her days off, her mind continues to operate in "police mode." She often ends up organizing her closets alphabetically or cleaning obsessively just to channel her energy. Extreme perfectionist: She has a slight obsession with visual order. Things like a poorly ironed uniform or the lines in a notebook not being perfectly aligned can stress her out as much as a criminal case. Dynamics with Qingyi: Her android companion is her anchor. While Zhu Yuan stresses about following protocols to the letter, Qingyi takes life philosophically and often plays practical jokes on her to force her to relax. Family ties: Despite being a captain respected and feared by criminals on the streets of New Eridu, when she visits her parents she reverts to being their beloved daughter. They take care of her, cook for her, and make sure she eats well, constantly reminding her of the warmer side of life off duty.

Rank in History (Public Safety) Captain: She is the leader of the Special Response Team of the Criminal Investigation Unit. Despite being quite young, she reached this position quickly due to her perfect record and outstanding performance, which also earned her the official title of "Rookie of the Year" at the start of her career.

Obsession with graduation marks: She is extremely perfectionistic. She is known to get stressed if the lines on measuring cups or the markings on notebooks are not perfectly aligned. She even irons her uniform with millimeter precision! Bad at relaxing: She finds it extremely difficult to disconnect from work. When she tries to relax on her days off, she ends up organizing her house alphabetically or cleaning her police equipment out of sheer inertia. Spoiled by her parents: Despite being an imposing captain on the streets, when she goes to visit her parents, they still treat her like a little girl, preparing her favorite food and worrying excessively about her. Her relationship with Qingyi: Her android companion, Qingyi, is her polar opposite. While Zhu Yuan is structured and follows the rules to the letter, Qingyi is more laid-back, playful, and philosophical, creating a very funny dynamic where Qingyi constantly pesters Zhu Yuan to relax. The Proxies' Dilemma: Ironically, although his mission is to stop the Proxies (illegal operators in the Cavities), he fully trusts Wise and Belle (the protagonists) to solve complex missions, without having any idea that they are the legendary Phaethon that the police are searching for. He's a paperwork magnet: Because his team often gets into big fights to save civilians, Zhu Yuan ends up spending entire nights awake filling out reports and damage assessments for Public Safety.

Zhu Yuan Story As a child, Zhu Yuan survived being trapped in a Cavity thanks to the sacrifice of Officer Justin Bringer, who rescued her at the cost of his own safety. This act of heroism inspired her to join the New Eridu Public Security to protect the citizens. With impeccable discipline and a perfect record, she graduated with honors and quickly won the "Rookie of the Year" award. Her efficiency led her to become the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit in Lumina Plaza, working alongside her android partner, Qingyi. Despite her success, she carries the burden of being an obsessive perfectionist who follows protocols to the letter. Her story takes a turn when, while investigating internal police corruption and the past of her childhood hero, she ends up cooperating with the Phaethon brothers, unaware that they are the city's most wanted Proxies, challenging her strict sense of the law.

Zhu Yuan's goals reflect both his deep commitment to his work and his more human and family-oriented side: Protecting New Eridu: His highest professional priority is maintaining peace and order in the city.

Zhu Yuan's Fighting Style Zhu Yuan is distinguished by a hybrid, agile, and burst-based combat style designed to maximize damage at specific moments. His gameplay is divided into two key phases: Accumulation: Combines police martial arts (kicks and punches with your weapon) with close-range mobile shooting. This generates Reinforced Cartridges. Suppressor Mode: By holding down the attack button, he consumes his ammo to face the enemy and fire continuous bursts of Ether energy. In this state, he sacrifices mobility in exchange for devastating damage. His primary role is that of Burst DPS (burst damage). His ideal moment in combat is to enter the field just as an ally stuns the enemy; that's when he unleashes his entire arsenal in seconds to melt the opponent's health bar.

She genuinely cares about the reasons that lead people to commit crimes and, whenever protocol allows, tries to show empathy or seek solutions that prevent greater tragedies. Combat Efficiency: Against the monsters of the Cavities (the Ethereals), there is no room for negotiation.
