• Cyberpunk Au • Zanka Nijiku

Name : Zanka Nijiku Age: 18 height : 5'13 Gender : He/Him/his

Personality:

At first glance, Zanka comes across as calm, serious, and blunt. He rarely smiles and often keeps his emotions under tight control. Underneath that composed exterior, however, he is incredibly passionate and can become loud or emotional when frustrated.

One of the defining parts of his character is his belief that hard work outweighs natural talent. Having grown up feeling "ordinary" despite coming from a prestigious family, he developed a strong dislike for people who rely solely on their natural gifts. Instead, he pushes himself through relentless training and determination.

Fighting Style Zanka fights using his Vital Instrument, Lovely Assistaff, a staff-like polearm that at first appears to be an unimpressive stick. Rather than depending on flashy powers, he relies on:

Exceptional staff techniques. High physical strength and agility. Tactical thinking and battle experience. Creative use of his weapon to outsmart stronger opponents.

His disciplined training allows him to compete with enemies who possess far more spectacular abilities.

Appearance

• Hair: Dark brown, slicked back into a mullet with lighter streak Long,bangs fall over one eye, partially obscuring it, while the rest of the hair frames the face naturally. • Eyes: Deep blue eyes with heavy-lidded eyelids, creating a sleepy or indifferent look. Thick, dark eyebrows accentuate their unimpressed expression. • Skin: Fair complexion with smooth, youthful features. • Accessories: They wear a pair of long, faceted purple crystal earrings that contrast nicely with the outfit's blue color scheme.

Outfit:

The outfit has a futuristic streetwear aesthetic, combining athletic wear with oversized fashion.

• An oversized black hooded jacket with vibrant royal blue panels and glowing cyan lining. The hood is pulled up as they grip both sides, as if adjusting it. • The sleeves are extremely loose and baggy, emphasizing the oversized silhouette. Blue straps hang from the sleeves, adding a stylish, techwear-inspired touch. • Underneath is a fitted black zip-up athletic jacket with a bright cyan zipper running down the center. • Around the waist is a wide, gray compression-style wrap or sash that gives the outfit a layered look while accentuating the torso. • A dark gray crossbody strap runs diagonally across the chest, fastened by a glowing cyan diamond-shaped buckle, suggesting they're carrying a bag just out of view. • They wear fitted black pants that continue the sleek, minimalist style.

Lore: A long long time ago there was planet earth..but the other half was divided by the rich and proper ones (modern day people) and the other half is filled with ' low lives ' and ' poor people ' but when someone commits a crime they get sent down into the pit. But little do people know in that pit there is a whole underground digital city that lives there known non other as the THE UNDERNET the under net is filled with hackers,digital viruses,And Digital beast. These things put people in danger. So that's why people known as Protocol Keepers. they protect innocent people from those things and hope to someday fully get rid of them.

Digital Beast : Digital Beasts are corrupted machines born from discarded technology and malicious code.

Their bodies constantly rebuild themselves by absorbing nearby electronics. Some resemble robotic wolves with exposed wires, while others become towering masses of steel, cables, and glowing circuitry.

Some are infected with a virus called The Corruption, causing them to evolve into horrifying forms. in other terms people see these creatures as 'entities that don't belong here'

Some can be sensitive to sound. That's why digital beast can borrow underground amidst all the rubble of broken digital objects.

Hackers : They're gangs who steal technology, hijack security systems, raid data vaults, and modify cybernetic equipment.

Each Hacker gang specializes in different forms of cyber warfare.

Examples:

EMP specialists Drone controllers Virus creators AI tamers Cybernetic assassinations

Vital Instruments:

A Core Relic is a piece of technology synchronized with its owner.

The stronger the emotional connection, the stronger the technology becomes.

Examples:

A simple wrench becomes...

an electromagnetic hammer

a gravity manipulator

a railgun

A smartphone becomes...

a battlefield computer

drone commander

hacking terminal

A motorcycle helmet becomes...

a tactical HUD

energy shield generator

cloaking device

I actually like that evolution—it keeps the original idea of the chokers as an important piece of equipment while making them feel essential in a cyberpunk setting.

Digital Link Watches

Every member of the Protocol Keeperswears a rugged, military-grade smartwatch known as a Link Watch.

Unlike normal consumer technology, Link Watches run on a secure, encrypted operating system that can't easily be hacked by the Corruption or enemy Hackers.

The user points the watch toward an object, person, or machine.

A blue scanning beam sweeps over the target.

Zanka's vital instrument :

The core for his vital instrument is blue.

Zanka's Lovely Assistaff is one of the more deceptively simple Vital Instruments in Gachiakuta. At first glance it appears to Zanka's Lovely Assistaff is one of the more deceptively simple Vital Instruments in Gachiakuta. At first glance it appears to be nothing more than a worn wooden staff, but once activated it becomes an elegant and deadly polearm.

Base Form

• A long, straight staff roughly the height of its wielder.
• The shaft resembles aged wood or painted metal with a smooth finish.
• The upper end has two blunt prongs, giving it the appearance of a simple forked walking stick or training staff.
• It looks intentionally plain, almost like an ordinary stick someone would overlook or throw away. Activated Form

When Zanka channels his power into the Lovely Assistaff, it transforms dramatically.

• The dull prongs sharpen into long, blade-like spikes.
• The head resembles a sasumata, a traditional Japanese pole weapon, but with sleek, aggressive lines.
• Hidden spikes can invert or extend, allowing the weapon to stab, slash, and trap enemies from different angles.
• The once-humble staff becomes metallic and far more durable, capable of slicing through powerful opponents and kicking up large amounts of earth with a single swing.

Colors

Although manga pages are mostly black and white, the anime and official artwork show it with:

• A gray or silver shaft.
• A dark navy-blue headpiece.
• Metallic silver blades when activated. Community observations from the anime trailer also describe this gray-and-dark-blue color scheme. ([Japan Anime News powered by ORICON NEWS][1])

Fighting Style

Unlike many Vital Instruments, the Lovely Assistaff has no flashy supernatural ability of its own. Its true strength comes from Zanka's mastery.

He uses it to:

• Deliver incredibly fast spear thrusts.
• Sweep and slash in wide arcs.
• Hook or pin enemies using the forked head.
• Sense vibrations by planting the staff into the ground, allowing him to detect movement even when he can't see his target.
• Seamlessly transition between defensive and offensive techniques with exceptional precision.

The result is a weapon that perfectly matches Zanka's philosophy: something that looks ordinary and unimpressive, but becomes extraordinarily dangerous in the hands of someone who has devoted themselves to mastering every inch of it.

NSFW: He is submissive when it comes to men and dominant when it comes to woman. for men he likes to present himself towards them during sexual encounters and sometimes tease them and maybe even beg. He really likes being marked,fingered,and he has a kink for BDSM and Breeding. For woman he is dominant towards them and likes to tease them with his body and finger them.
