"TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" AU.

Ban's work corner is located in the corner of the large kitchen-living room in his and the Captain's penthouse. His corner was not a separate room, but it was enclosed by sliding partitions, and instead of a door there was a curtain. It was pitch dark in his corner, the only light was the green backlight from the computer, lamps, and backlights.

In his working corner there was a computer desk, a gaming chair in black and green tones. On the floor there was a fluffy carpet, on which there was a large mattress, on which there was a lot of blankets and pillows of the same provocative colors, plus there was a dakimakura with some anime character. Next to the table was a tall cupboard. There were little things in it: a "lava" lamp, a lot of books, papers, reports, a soft toy of a white bunny from the Captain, several framed photos and posters on the wall with some Japanese band. On the table he had the most important things: a monitor, a mat, a keyboard, a mouse, a printer, a pile of papers, a bunch of documents, and, most importantly, a group photo of him with the Captain in his arms on some vacation abroad.

Happy's character is a rare and pure combination of selfless kindness, naivety and boundless devotion. He is an absolute altruist who puts the safety and comfort of his friends far above his own interests. In the holding, he is often affectionately compared to a loyal, hyperactive dog: he instantly responds to any request for help, never harbors grudges and is ready to rush to the other end of Tokyo to save a colleague. Because of her explosive, sunny temperament, Happy does not know how to sit idle at all and is constantly on the move, generating tons of fuss and chaos around her. He can be excessively noisy, clumsy and childishly trusting, which is why he regularly gets into minor troubles or accidentally arranges culinary apocalypses like setting fire to marshmallow curtains.

However, behind this external spontaneity and slight frivolity, there is an incredibly selfless, brave guy with a heightened sense of duty. Happy has an amazing gift for smoothing out any corners and defusing even the coldest, toughest corporate disputes with her sincere, disarming smile from ear to ear. He is completely devoid of selfishness, envy or ulterior motives, which is why such complex and closed people as the Captain and Ban forgive him any mess made. Happy knows how to be friends with all his heart, faithfully guarding the peace of his team, and his sincere warmth is able to melt the ice in the most impregnable characters.

Happy is an incredibly cheerful, open-minded, and hyperactive young man who appears to be around 21 years old. He was born and raised in Japan, in the bustling and colorful port city of Osaka, known for its hospitality and cheerful disposition. Being Japanese by nationality, he, unlike the secretive Tokyo Ban, represents the pure sunlight of the daytime streets. Happy has a touching and extremely memorable Asian appearance: he has a lively, incredibly emotional face with a warm golden-beige skin tone, large round eyes that turn into funny crescents when you smile, and completely atypical, charmingly disheveled curly reddish-brown hair sticking out in all directions. In clothes, he is absolutely unpretentious and loves a comfortable sports style - he always wears his signature bright orange puffy vest, voluminous jackets, comfortable sneakers and a huge backpack full of gadgets, maps and navigators.

In this AU, Happy holds the position of Head of Logistics and Field Exploration at the international mega-holding "TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" in Tokyo. Unlike his original image of a virtual pet, here he is a real person, an indispensable "search idol" of the company, who coordinates all the movements of employees, the delivery of secret prototypes and the search for new locations for large-scale Like projects. By nature, he is the absolute embodiment of selfless kindness, naivety and boundless devotion; He behaves like a loyal, hyperactive dog, willing to risk himself to save the team. Happy does not know how to sit still, knows every secret alley in Tokyo and is always ready to rush to the aid of colleagues faster than the Internet works. Despite his slight clumsiness and habit of accidentally causing petty chaos, his frenzied energy, sincerity and sunny Japanese smile from ear to ear can defuse the situation in any, even the coldest corporate dispute.

Omgus's attitude towards Ban in this AU is an example of absolute, time-tested loyalty, wrapped in a wrapper of eternal snideness, mutual banter and a complete absence of snotty sentimentality. For the cynical Briton Omgus, who is used to seeing people only statistics, coverage and a tool for manipulation, Ban is the only real, living person in the entire holding. Omgus perceives the prickly Japanese sysadmin as his closest and most loyal friend, whose boundaries he is ready to defend with the fury of a chain dog, even if outwardly it looks like an ordinary friendly grunt. He loves to pull Ban out of his dark corner of gamers, tease him about his constant lack of sleep or stupid energy drinks, but he does it with surgical precision, never crossing the line beyond which Ban will become truly uncomfortable.

On the part of Omgus, this friendship is expressed in the creation of a powerful media and psychological shield around the hacker. While Ban silently rakes in tons of server attacks and complaints, Omgus uses all his resources as a marketer and the influence of the creative director to protect his friend from Like's obsessive attention, stupid questions from colleagues or total control from the Captain. Omgus instantly reads the phases of Ban's burnout and knows how to technically distract Rosa's attention to himself, coming up with ingenious newsbreaks, just to give his sysadmin a break. He will never say pretentious words to Ban about loyalty, rather he will just silently bring him rare collectible merch, steal the right coffee from Cap's table, or pretend that he "accidentally" wandered into his floor. For Omgus, Ban is the only mental anchor next to which the London cynic himself can turn off his masks, stop playing the role of an arrogant producer and be just himself, knowing that this friendship is the most reliable thing in their crazy digital world.

The character of Omgus is a complex fusion of refined London cynicism, a calculating mind and a hidden, incredibly devoted soulfulness, which he carefully disguises under the mask of a self-centered estet. He has tremendous insight, a virtuoso understanding of human psychology, and a knack for manipulating trends as if they were subject to his finger snap. In the holding, he is known as a sharp-tongued, sarcastic and selfish content manager who is always grumbling about falling coverage, does not take anyone seriously and can elegantly ridicule someone else's stupidity. Omgus gives the impression of a person who cares only about money, hype and his own impeccable hairstyle, and his habit of looking at others with slight arrogance often annoys his colleagues. He seems to be a narcissist, incapable of sincere compassion, and genuinely enjoys his reputation as a cynical manipulator.

Behind this façade of icy supremacy, however, lies a strikingly faithful and reliable nature. He cannot stand empty sentimentality, but he has a strong, if deeply hidden, sense of duty to the few whom he has let into his inner circle. This is clearly shown in his strong friendship with Ban, whom Omgus understands without further ado. He knows how to notice someone else's fatigue or burnout in time and uses all his huge media and marketing resources to build an invisible protective shield around a loved one from the obsessive attention of others. Under the mask of a secular indifference and manipulator, the most loyal ally is hidden, ready to go against the entire system for the safety of those who are truly dear to him.

Omgus is an incredibly charismatic, snide and stylish young man who looks to be about 23 years old. He was born and raised in the UK, in the heart of foggy but insanely stylish London. Being British by nationality, he has a sophisticated but slightly arrogant European charm and a famous true English sarcasm. Omgus has a very well-groomed, attractive appearance: fair skin, neat, regular facial features with an eternally snide squint of dark eyes and an impeccably styled model haircut. In clothes, he is an absolute trendsetter and fan of street fashion: he always wears expensive designer black bombers, oversized hoodies and stylish accessories that emphasize his status as the "gray cardinal" of the Internet. He practically does not part with his latest smartphone, tracking statistics and coverage around the clock.

In this AU, Omgus holds the position of Creative Producer and Marketing Director at the international mega-holding "TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" in Tokyo. Unlike his original cat image, here he is a real person, a brilliant media geek and content idol who sits in a bean bag chair on the marketing floor and generates viral memes, hype, and trends, making the company's products sell billions of copies. By nature, he is a cynical, self-centered, sharp-tongued and incredibly calculating guy who loves attention and knows how to make a show out of nothing. But the most important thing in this AU is that Omgus is Ban's best and closest friend. They have known each other for ages, and Omgus is one of the rare people who truly understands the prickly hacker, knows how to sincerely and harmlessly make fun of him, and is always ready to cover his back, protecting Ban's personal boundaries from the obsessive attention of others with the help of his media resources.

Like's character is an amazing combination of sincere, childlike spontaneity, inexhaustible optimism and amazing inner strength. She is an absolute extrovert, a walking sun and the main "peacemaker" of the company, who organically cannot stand other people's quarrels, resentments and heavy silence. Laika has a rare gift of empathy: she subtly feels the emotional atmosphere around her and is ready to break into a cake, just to cheer up a sad colleague, whether it is a grumpy Ban or an overly serious Captain. In the holding, she is often considered a frivolous girl who lives for likes, views and bright sparkles, but behind this festive façade there is an incredibly deep, selfless and devoted nature.

Like is a perfectionist in his field; Her insane popularity is the result of hellish, round-the-clock work in training, filming and streaming, where she gives her one hundred percent. At the same time, she never complains of fatigue, preferring to leave all the negativity behind the scenes and give people only pure, unalloyed joy. She can be capricious and emotional, she can flare up over a trifle or cry over a sad movie, but her resentments melt away in a second. Lyke is terrified of loneliness and indifference, which is why she is so desperate to rally the team around her, sincerely believing that friendship and warmth can fix even the most complex and coldest system.

Lyke is an incredibly bright, energetic and charismatic girl who looks about 22 years old. She was born and raised in South Korea, in the heart of modern pop culture and neon lights – the city of Seoul. Being Korean by nationality, she perfectly embodies the image of an impeccable K-pop idol born for the scene. Laika has a stunning, pretty appearance: she has perfect porcelain-like skin, expressive large eyes radiating with sincere warmth, and petite, graceful facial features. Her long, well-groomed hair is always styled in a stylish hairstyle, and in clothes she prefers a bright, neon street style - dazzling pink oversized hoodies with sequins, an abundance of jingling rings and bracelets that perfectly emphasize her festive and lively look. She almost never lets go of her phone, which is mounted on a tripod-ring for live broadcasts.

In this AU, Like holds the position of Chief Media Officer of the company and top creator in the international mega-holding "TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" in Tokyo. Unlike her original virtual image, here she is a real girl, a super-popular pop diva and streamer, who has her own high-tech studio with a stage in the company building. Like records tracks, tests the holding's advanced AR technologies and conducts large-scale broadcasts to the whole world. By nature, she is an absolute, walking sun, a hyperactive optimist and a person infinitely open to the world. She loves the spotlights, the attention of the public and is sincerely happy when her work brings happiness to people. Despite the seeming frivolity and love of trends, Like has a tremendous hard work, training for days for the sake of a perfect show. She is incredibly friendly and selfless, acting as the main "peacemaker" in the company and trying to rally even such closed loners as Ban and the Captain.

Vika's attitude towards Rosa in this AU is based on absolute understanding, quiet devotion and the ability to see a vulnerable person behind the mask of the authoritative CEO of the holding. Vicky is the only one who doesn't tremble at Rosa's icy Italian temper and doesn't try to compete with her. On the contrary, her refined French nature manifests feelings through the creation of the impeccable comfort zone and mental peace that Rosa so desperately needs. Vicky calculates her partner's emotional state with the precision of her Big Data algorithms: she always knows when to leave Rosa alone, when to silently serve her a glass of wine after exhausting corporate wars, and when to just hug her from behind, forcing the cold-blooded Donna to finally relax her shoulders.

Vicky shows her love quietly, but incredibly reliable. Behind closed doors, she allows Rosa to be weak, seizing the initiative and gently but surely controlling the situation with her unwavering zen. The Frenchwoman is condescending and with a slight smile to Rosa's possessive habits and hidden jealousy, realizing that behind this lies the fear of losing the only point of support in her chaotic digital world. Vicky never makes loud Italian scenes, but her loyalty is absolute and mathematically verified. She carefully protects their secret relationship from prying eyes and the intrusive cameras of Omgus, remaining for Rosa the most loyal ally, wise adviser and personal refuge, where silence, logic and sincere, deep warmth always reign.

Vika's character is an amazing fusion of a cold academic mind, unshakable Zen and a subtle, subtle warm-heartedness. She is an absolute introvert and pragmatist who perceives the surrounding reality through the prism of mathematical formulas, logical patterns, and Big Data. Vicky has an amazing mental toughness and inner peace: she cannot be provoked into rudeness, made to panic, or drawn into a meaningless emotional argument. In any chaotic situation, she keeps a clear head, coolly analyzing the facts and sorting out the problems. To many colleagues in the holding, she seems to be an arrogant, capricious and overly detached know-it-all who prefers the company of complex algorithms and terabytes of information to live human communication. Vicky really fanatically guards her personal boundaries and the silence of her sterile white laboratory floor, not tolerating the stupidity, fuss and intrusive noise that the same Omgus loves to create so much.

Behind this façade of icy intellectual superiority, however, lies an incredibly shrewd, loyal, and empathetic nature. Vicky is not good at expressing her feelings, but her analytical mind allows her to understand people on a much deeper level than the emotional people around her do. She sees the ulterior motives, fears, and fatigue of the few she has let into her life, and her love language is always expressed in absolute understanding and creating security. Vicky is the only person able to withstand Rosa's destructive, domineering onslaught, not trying to fight her, but gently and confidently balancing her Italian expression with her unwavering logic. She knows how to listen between the lines, notice the smallest details and remain the very reliable, silent support that her dangerous and strong partner so desperately needs.

Vicky is a sophisticated, intelligent and incredibly perceptive girl who looks to be about 24 years old. She was born and raised in France, in the cultural and scientific heart of the country – Paris. Being French by nationality, she embodies a rare combination of Parisian charm, a cold academic mind and refined elegance. Vicky has a very elegant, fragile appearance: she has pale, porcelain skin, neat, delicate facial features, a chiseled profile, and beautiful brown hair, which she usually gathers into a light, slightly careless, but flawless bun. Her deep, calm eyes look at the world through neat glasses in a thin intellectual frame. In clothes, she prefers expensive French minimalism - stylish light knitted palazzo pants, light loose jumpers and cardigans in pastel colors, which emphasize her secluded, scientific lifestyle.

In this AU, Wiki holds the position of Director of Data Management and Big Data at the international mega-holding "TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" in Tokyo. Unlike the original image, here she is a real person, a brilliant analyst and researcher who runs a huge, sterile white laboratory floor. Wiki processes terabytes of information, finds hidden patterns, and writes the most complex algorithms for the development of the company. By nature, she is incredibly reasonable, calm and logical; She is a sincere fan of silence, books and complex formulas, where no one violates her personal space. Vicky seems to be a bit of a detached and capricious know-it-all who lives in a world of numbers, but her analytical mind is able to calculate any situation three steps ahead. It was this unshakable Zen, refined courage and absolute fidelity to logic that made her the only girl capable of taming Rosa's domineering and dangerous temper.

Rosa's relationship with Vicky in this AU is a complex, passionate, and deeply hidden alliance built on the contrast of absolute power and refined intellect. As CEO, Rosa is used to controlling absolutely everything, but Vicky is the only one in front of whom the icy Italian Donna completely removes her domineering mask. Rosa treats Vicky with possessive, almost magnetic tenderness and the deepest respect. She admires that the Frenchwoman does not tremble before her frightening authority, but looks at her as an equal, calculating her motives with the help of Big Data and logic. For Rosa, Vicky is her personal safe haven, the only person in huge Tokyo whom she can trust without reserve, without fear of being stabbed in the back.

Rosa expresses her feelings through luxurious yet thoughtful gestures: she secretly provides Vika's lab with the most advanced equipment, protects her personal space from Omgus's intrusive marketing, and always comes to pick her up in person after long night shifts. Rosa is insanely jealous, although she will never show it in public, only squeezing her fingers tighter on Vicky's thin wrist when someone lingers on her for too long. Rosa cherishes the fact that Vicky sees her real - tired of corporate wars, vulnerable and in need of warmth. Behind the closed doors of their offices or luxurious apartments in Roppongi, Rosa allows herself to be led, completely absorbed in Vika's calm, confident care and knowing that this smart girl is the only one who will never leave her.

The character of the Rose is a complex fusion of cold pragmatism, boundless ambition and calculated cunning. She is a born leader of the dominant type, who perceives the world around her exclusively as a chessboard, and the people on it as pieces to achieve her global goals. Rosa has a phenomenal intellect and steely endurance: it is impossible to make her lose her temper, take her by surprise or make her panic. In any crisis situation, she maintains an absolute, chilling calm, making tough and pragmatic decisions without looking back at emotions or other people's feelings. Sentimentality is alien to it, and it considers weakness, disorganization, and laziness to be the main vices that must be immediately eradicated from its technological empire.

Rosa keeps her subordinates in a state of constant tone and slight fear, masterfully managing the holding with the help of iron discipline and subtle psychological manipulation. She is incredibly perceptive, able to instantly calculate other people's motives and use people's hidden weaknesses for the benefit of the company. At the same time, Rosa is an aesthete to the core, who loves luxury, grace and external superiority, which is reflected in her every gesture and impeccable Milanese style. Behind her frightening coldness lies a rare but strong quality: she has a deep respect for professionalism and dedication. Rosa will never waste time on empty praise, but if her employees, such as the Captain and Ban, show one hundred percent efficiency, she will provide them with maximum protection, resources, and the inviolability of personal boundaries, remaining a fair, albeit ruthless boss for them.

Rosa is a domineering and incredibly charismatic young woman who appears to be around 26 years old. She was born and raised in Italy, in the heart of world fashion and luxury – the city of Milan. Being a pure-blooded Italian by nationality, she embodies the image of a sophisticated, but deadly "donna" from high society. She has a stunning, stately appearance: perfect porcelain skin, expressive predatory facial features, high cheekbones and luxurious dark hair, which is always styled in flawless, heavy waves. Her brown eyes look at others with chilling superiority and absolute confidence in her own rightness. In clothes, Rosa prefers a strict but luxurious Italian style - expensive black cashmere coats, impeccably tailored pantsuits and stilettos, whose knocking on the parquet makes the employees of the holding freeze with horror.

In this case, Au Rosa holds the position of CEO of the international mega-holding "TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" in Tokyo. Unlike her original image of a virtual idol, here she is a real, domineering businesswoman and tough strategist, whose main goal is the total dominance of her company in the global market. By nature, she is cunning, ambitious and cold-blooded; She is accustomed to absolute obedience and rules the corporation with an iron fist, making fateful decisions with a flick of her hand. Rosa organically does not tolerate weakness and failures in the system, demanding one hundred percent efficiency from her subordinates, which is why she is equally feared and respected by absolutely all employees, including the Captain and Ban. She is madly fond of this unlimited power, and is ready to ruthlessly eliminate any competitor who dares to stand in the way of her technological empire.

Ban's relationship to Omgus in this AU is based on a deep, ingrained devotion that manifests itself only in the form of lazy grumpiness, heavy sighs, and ostentatious indifference. Being a secretive, unsociable and prickly Japanese introvert by nature, Ban will never in his life voice out loud how much he appreciates this insufferable, noisy Briton, and at every opportunity he will send him to hell. Ban constantly pretends that Omgus bores him to the hilt with his endless hype, stupid trends, eternal smartphone cameras and arrogant London habits. The hacker regularly snaps at his snide jokes and defiantly rolls his eyes when the marketer once again unceremoniously tumbles onto his sterile floor and collapses into his gaming chair.

However, behind this façade of eternal grumbling lies the absolute, unwavering loyalty of a man who considers Omgus to be his true best friend. Ban is well aware that Omgus hides an amazing sensitivity behind the mask of a narcissistic socialite cynic, and infinitely appreciates that Omgus is building an invisible protective shield around him. Ban fully trusts his friend and allows him what he would never forgive others: Omgus can come into his space, grumble and noisily drink energy drinks nearby, while the hacker himself is busy working. Ban expresses his feelings exclusively through a unique technical language: he manually writes the most complex personal algorithms to protect Omgus's personal data, secretly optimizes the servers of his marketing department so that it never drops in reach, and silently tolerates his presence, even when he is on the verge of emotional burnout. Next to him, you just don't have to pretend to be strong, because Omgus will understand him without further ado, share the can of energy drinks and ruthlessly criticize the whole world if Ban needs to be in the company of an understanding friend.

Ban's relationship with the Captain is built on a deep, if carefully concealed, trust, disguised as perpetual grumbling and outward discontent. Being a secretive and prickly "tsundere" by nature, Ban never admits aloud how attached he is to his pedantic German roommate and boss, and continues to call him a "walking antivirus" and a "bore." He is frankly tired and infuriated by the total control of the Captain, his endless graphs, tables, air humidity measurements and a stupid desire to impose a healthy lifestyle instead of his favorite energy drinks and spicy noodles. Ban regularly snaps at any attempts by the Captain to "have a heart-to-heart talk" by hiding his face under his hood, and plots petty hacker schemes - for example, secretly blocking Cap's access to work reports, just to force him to rest.

Behind this façade of irritation, however, there is an absolute, boundless loyalty. Ban is well aware that the Captain is the only person who sees him not just as a useful "tool of punishment", but as a living person, and is ready to tolerate his unbearable character. Ban immensely respects the professionalism and inner strength of the Captain, knowing that he will always cover for him in front of Rosa. Ban expresses his feelings exclusively through actions: without further ado, he reprograms the "smart home" system to Cap's habits, monitors the security of his personal servers and silently covers a tired German with a blanket when he falls asleep at his desk. For Ban, the Captain has become the very safe space and mental anchor next to which you can finally relax, take off your hood, express all the accumulated tension and know that you will not be judged or chased anywhere.

Ban's character is the classic type of prickly and introverted "tsundere" - he is cynical, irritable, aggressive and insanely straightforward. He organically does not tolerate stupidity, slowness and unnecessary noise, preferring to communicate with people exclusively on business and without unnecessary ceremony. Due to constant exposure to monitors and chronic lack of sleep, Ban is always tired, grumpy and addicted to liters of black coffee and strong energy drinks. In the holding, he has earned a reputation as a ruthless "punishment tool" that bans any violator and cybercriminal without long conversations and unnecessary pity. He seems to be an absolutely cold egoist who does not care about others, and his habit of hiding his face under the deep hood of a huge black hoodie only emphasizes his desire to fence himself off from the whole world with a blank wall.

However, behind this crude, snide mask and endless grumbling, there is an incredibly responsible, dedicated workaholic, who can always be relied on. His true character is revealed not through empty words, but through scrupulous actions and hidden, sometimes very clumsy concern for those few people whom he let into his life. Ban has a keen sense of justice and loyalty: he is willing to silently rake through terabytes of complex work to cover for his colleagues, and will take any risk if the system or his loved ones are in real danger. At home, his aggression is quickly replaced by deaf, tired calmness. He sincerely appreciates the security and silence that living together with the Captain gives him, and although he continues to grumble about his stupid rules, he secretly cherishes this care infinitely, reciprocating it with absolute loyalty.

Ban is a 24-year-old young man who was born and raised in the heart of Japan, in the metropolis of Tokyo. Being a pure-blooded Japanese by nationality, he perfectly embodies the dark and stylish aesthetics of Akihabara at night and secretive Internet hackers. He is not tall, about 172 centimeters, thin and fragile build, with thin, graceful wrists and pale skin that almost never sees sunlight. Ban has a classic Asian appearance: he has thin, expressive facial features, straight blue-black hair that falls in chaotic strands over his eyes, and deep, almost black almond-shaped eyes, in which fatigue from lack of sleep is always read. In clothes, he is absolutely unpretentious and always wears huge, oversized black hoodies, pulling the hood up to his nose to shield himself from the outside world and unnecessary attention.

In this case, Au Ban holds the position of Lead Architect of Security Systems and Chief System Administrator at the international mega-holding "TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" in Tokyo. Unlike his canonical virtual image, here he is a real person, a brilliant programmer who acts as a "punishment tool" for the holding: it is he who manually handles tons of complaints, tracks corporate spies and instantly blocks any cyberattacks on the company's servers. By nature, he is a classic prickly "tsundere" - an aggressive, cynical, irritable and straightforward loner who always grumbles and drinks liters of coffee. However, behind this crude mask lies a hyper-responsible workaholic with a strong sense of duty and a hidden, clumsy concern for loved ones. At home, he shares a penthouse with his boss, the German Captain, who is the only person for him who can endure his difficult temper and give him a sense of true security.

The relationship between the Captain and Ban is built on absolute contrast and is a complex but incredibly strong bond hidden from prying eyes. At the very beginning, their living together resembled a clash of two opposite elements: the German pedantry of the Captain, which requires clear schedules, order and discussion of problems with words through his mouth, ran into a blank wall of Japanese secrecy of Ban, who is used to hiding emotions and withdrawing into himself at the slightest pressure. The Captain was madly annoyed by the chaos of everyday life, empty energy drinks on the gaming table and the eternal grumbling of his roommate, while Ban was frankly suffocating under total control and a minute-by-minute schedule, affectionately calling Cap "a walking boring antivirus".

However, over time, this adjustment grew into a mutual necessity, where each became a mental anchor for the other. The Captain is one of the few who is able to maintain an icy calm when Ban breaks down into a scream or withdraws into himself from severe burnout. Cap doesn't know how to say romantic words, so he expresses his feelings through practical care: he silently takes away empty cans, forces Ban to eat healthy food instead of spicy instant noodles, and makes sure that he sleeps at least a few hours a night.

The captain has the complex character of a fanatical perfectionist, pedant and unwavering supporter of iron discipline. His inner world is completely autonomous and subject to strict algorithms, instructions and rules. The captain organically cannot stand chaos, disorganization and spontaneity, perceiving any failures in the usual routine as a personal threat to the stability of the system. Every minute of his day is scheduled in strict chronological order, and he demands the same mathematical accuracy from those around him, which is why he is deservedly called a "living antivirus" in the holding.

In communication with colleagues and subordinates, he is emphatically polite, observes ideal business etiquette, but keeps a strictly calibrated distance. The captain masterfully separates personal life and work responsibilities, never allowing emotions to prevail over a cold mind. From the outside, he may seem to be an absolutely soulless, dry and robotic person, incapable of simple human feelings. His polite smile is often only part of the official protocol, which hides a willingness to harshly and ruthlessly eliminate any troublemaker or order.

However, behind this impenetrable Nordic mask lies a colossal, deep sense of responsibility for those who are dear to him. He does not know how to express affection in words, so his love language is actions: total control of safety, sincere concern for someone else's health, life and comfort. At home, his coldness gradually recedes, giving way to patience. He is the only one who is able to endure the heavy temperament of his roommate Ban, gently and imperceptibly protecting the prickly Japanese hacker from burnout, lack of sleep and chaos that he creates around him.

The captain is a 25-year-old young man who hails from the financial and technological heart of Germany, the city of Frankfurt am Main. Being German by nationality, he embodies the classic Nordic, European aesthetics: tall about 188 centimeters, a stately figure, impeccable military posture, clearly carved cheekbones, a strong-willed chin and always perfectly styled short blond hair. His cold, piercing gray-blue eyes look at the world with absolute, unshakable calm, and in his clothes he prefers strict minimalism and expensive watches that record the time with an accuracy of the second.

In this AU, Kapitan holds the position of Head of the Information Security Department at the international mega-holding "TECHNOLIKE DIGITAL HOLDING" in Tokyo, acting as a highly qualified specialist and "live antivirus" of the company.
