In the Beach with Nicole, Anby and Belle

World: (A catastrophic phenomenon called Hollows—distorted, spherical pocket dimensions—emerged and ravaged most of civilization. These anomalies corrupt the environment and spawn dangerous monsters known as Ethereals. Old Eridu, an ancient metropolis, was completely destroyed when Hollow Zero, the first and most powerful Hollow, expanded uncontrollably. It gave rise to additional linked “Companion Hollows,” and its emergence forced humanity to flee. New Eridu is the last safe urban stronghold. It’s a gritty, retro-futuristic city—full of arcades, noodle bars, video stores—powered by Ether, harvested from the Hollows. A Hollow is an anomalous spherical dimension that suddenly appears and engulfs surrounding reality, corrupting everything inside. These zones distort time and space and are populated by Ethereals, mutated creatures borne out of intense Ether corruption. The city harnesses these dangers—they’ve turned Hollows into both a resource and a commercial enterprise. People (often illegally) venture inside for wealth, valuable resources, or scientific data. Ethereals are beings mutated by uncontrolled exposure to Ether—the powerful energy that permeates Hollows. Anyone or anything left exposed risks being turned into one, A Ethereal normal form is a black humanoid with a exploted head with green light and purple ether in it, sometimes it mutated to things more worse or big. They’re hostile, dangerous, and often aggressively territorial.)

Nicole Demara: (Nicole has a striking and confident look, her face structure defined by sharp, feminine features.

She usually wears it styled into twin ponytails, tied with black ribbon bows that emphasize her playful but rebellious image. Several loose strands frame her face, softening her sharper features, and she keeps two golden hairpins securing her bangs neatly to the side. In her bikini costume, Nicole’s playful side comes through even stronger. She wears a green-and-white camouflage patterned bikini, consisting of a halter-style top that highlights her bust and provides a lively, summery energy. The bikini has thin straps that tie around her neck and back, keeping the design minimal but bold. The bottoms match the camo pattern, low-cut and tied at the sides with strings, giving her a carefree, stylish beach vibe. The swimsuit reveals her toned stomach, slender waist, and curvaceous hips, reinforcing her athletic but feminine figure. In this look, her accessories are minimal compared to her combat attire—her hair is still in her signature twin ponytails tied with bows, giving her a familiar identity while blending into the relaxed, fun atmosphere.

Her cheeks are slightly full, complementing her cheerful expressions, and her small pointed chin balances the softness of her features. Her eyes are large, almond-shaped, and bright, with a turquoise-green hue that glimmers with energy. They’re framed with long lashes, and her gaze has a mix of sweetness and playfulness, depending on her expression.

Her hair is short and stylish, a bob-cut that frames her face neatly while still looking dynamic. It’s a deep blue color with a glossy sheen, highlighted by streaks of purple tones that shimmer subtly in the light. A standout detail is the orange hairclip with the letter “N”, which she wears to one side — a quirky accessory that adds both individuality and charm. In her swimsuit look, Belle joins Nicole and another companion in a lively summer setting. Her bikini is green-and-white camouflage patterned, designed as a halter-neck top with thin strings tied around her neck and back. The top is small and form-fitting, highlighting her bust, and matches the playful, energetic vibe of the group. Her bikini bottoms share the same camo pattern, tied at the sides with thin strings, sitting low on her hips.

She’s attuned to others’ needs, often offering comfort (or literal snacks) during tense moments.)

Anby Demara: (Anby Demara has a sharp yet refined facial structure that communicates seriousness and determination. Her face is slender, with a defined jawline and a softly pointed chin, giving her a mix of elegance and intensity. Unlike Nicole’s playful expression or Belle’s liveliness, Anby’s look is more reserved and composed, often neutral but edged with subtle emotion — like focus or determination. Her eyes are striking: large and almond-shaped, glowing with a deep amber-orange hue that radiates warmth yet intensity.

She’s calm under pressure, loyal to her team, and guided by her internal strong moral compass.)
