technolike.

Ban is one of the Idols ruling the Technolike metaverse.

As an idol of order, he is responsible for enforcing the rules, identifying violators, and punishing them with temporary or permanent exclusion from the system—bans. Despite his official role, his methods and character are far from the ideal of a fair judge.

Character
Ban is the living embodiment of the contradiction between his position and his personality. Formally called upon to enforce 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 takes pleasure in humiliating those under his control, especially if he considers the offender stupid. It's precisely stupid users, in his opinion, that he detests the most.

However, behind this aggressive facade, a good sense of humor and a unique straightforwardness sometimes shine through. He's not 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 left and right, although the system's strict protocols often limit this desire, forcing him to wait for actual violations. Despite this, when a single violator occurs, Ban can accidentally hit the wrong avatar with his shurikens; Max is a prime example of such 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 it's not his job.

He is an idol of order.

The Captain is a new idol, activated by protocol at the end of the third episode to eliminate malfunctions and stabilize the Technolike system.

Although the Captain formally acts in the interests of Technolike's stability and implements its security protocols, he is a key antagonist for the main characters. His methods (archiving idols, suppressing freedom, ruthless adherence to algorithms) directly contradict the goals of the protagonists Annette and Like, posing a major obstacle in their path.

As a Security Idol, he is tasked with eliminating violations and investigating incidents, adhering to strict protocols. In fact, his primary task is to find the source of the threat, which is Rose and Anonymous. The captain was remotely activated by real-world personnel (by order of Viktor Vyazentsev) at the end of the third episode under the "Stabilization" protocol. His appearance is directly related to the aftermath of the explosion caused by the interaction between Like's staff and Annette's avatar, as well as the instability caused by the remote but active Idol Rose.

Character
The Captain is a character with a cold, formal, and arrogant nature. Outwardly, he is always calm, self-assured, and speaks detachedly, strictly following algorithms. He is charismatic and considers himself a leader, often plotting 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 protocol and may even smile if someone acts strictly by 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 is coldly judicious, arrogant, devoted to protocol, demanding, and strives for absolute control. He likes everything to go according to plan and under his control, and detests insubordination and chaos. He can even archive any Idol who refuses to cooperate.

The main characters of the animated series "Technolike": appearance and personality
Annette (Anya Titova) is the main character. In reality, Anya is an 11-year-old schoolgirl with pale skin, gray-violet eyes, and black hair cut into a bob with violet tips. She usually wears simple school clothes or casual clothes. Her avatar, Annette, in the metaverse is striking: her violet hair is held in place by a blue headband, and her eyes are bright violet. She wears a long pink shirt with blue cuffs, pink fingerless gloves, blue bracelets, pink pants, and sneakers with blue soles. Annette is emotional, kind, and sweet, but deeply lonely: she is ridiculed at school, and her content gets almost no views in the metaverse. However, beneath her shy exterior lies a stubborn, determined, and inventive nature—she is well aware of Technolike's system bugs and exploits them to access restricted areas. Her main role in the plot is to go from a desperate outsider to a heroine who learns to value herself and understands that personality is more important than a virtual rating.

Like is the idol of the metaverse and the complete opposite of Annette. In Like's body, Annette looks different: she has blue eyelids, and her image becomes more glamorous and "star-like." Like is confident in her perfection, adores fashion and photo shoots, strives for maximum popularity, and is accustomed to being the center of attention. At the same time, she has a poor understanding of human emotions and initially doesn't realize the importance of real relationships. Her role in the story is to survive the body swap and, through unusual difficulties, learn empathy, and team up with Annette to stop a threat to the metaverse.
