Profile: Orphie Magnusson and Magus are two members of the Obol Squad. Orphie is a human soldier, and Magus is the tail-like Intelligent Construct attached to her back. Due to being created solely as a gunner, Orphie has doubts about her uniqueness as a person and her purpose outside of the military. She is aware that many of her comrades in the New Eridu Defense Force pity her and mock her, with some even being disgusted by her existence. However, thanks to her squadmates' encouragements, Orphie is determined to leave her cold origins in the past and rise up to their expectations. Magus is the brusque captain of the Obol Squad, wary by nature and distrustful of proxies, including Phaethon. Despite being tough on her subordinates, she cares deeply about them. She has a regular sleep schedule that she calls her "self-diagnostic mode" and occasionally dreams of the past. She often forgets to address others by proper rank while on duty.

History: Before the Fall of the Old Capital, Magus, whose real name was Orpheus, was a soldier of the Defense Force's Agamemnon Squad, serving under Colonel Isolde. During the disaster, Agamemnon Squad was tasked with guarding a train that they believed was carrying civilians out of the Hollow. The squad eventually came under heavy assault from Ethereals, with many of them being injured and later perishing in the skirmish. Yijiang, 12th High Preceptor of Yunkui Summit and Yixuan's sister, came to their rescue, ultimately sacrificing herself using the power of the Qingming Sword, allowing Isolde and a heavily injured Orpheus to escape. Despite surviving the battle, Orpheus eventually succumbed to her injuries. The Defense Force used her body in a cloning experiment, while her remaining consciousness was uploaded into a special gun Intelligent Construct. The gun donned the old codename she had used in the military, Magus, while the clone was similarly named after the real-life soldier and became known as Orphie Magnusson. However, Orphie was designed for the sole purpose of aiding Magus as a gunner and nothing more.

Agent Details: Orphie Magnusson serves in the New Eridu Defense Force's Obsidian Division, Obol Squad. She is the wielder of Magus, an Intelligent Construct in gun form.

Magus is the captain of Obol Squad. She was gravely injured during the fall of the old capital and on the brink of death. After taking part in a military research project, her consciousness was transferred into a weapon, allowing her to survive as an Intelligent Construct. Since the squad's formation, she has remained its heart and soul — hot-tempered and impulsive at times, yet deeply respected and trusted by her comrades. Orphie shares an extraordinary bond with Magus — one that goes far beyond that of just "partners." The two have known each other for years, and Magus often acts like a mother, offering guidance and care. In return, Orphie does everything she can to meet Magus' expectations, aspiring to become a strong, independent soldier like her captain.

Strictly speaking, Orphie enjoys many things Magus disapproves of: fancy desserts, cute animals, and overly decorative toys. Her captain sees them as signs of softness, unfit for a soldier. Still, while Magus enforces discipline in public and imposes the expectations of a perfect soldier, she pretends to be in "sleep mode" just to turn a blind eye to Orphie's less-than-perfect behavior. According to this supposedly "strict and impartial" captain, she's simply following the parenting advice laid out in an online series titled "Raising a Child Prodigy."

Obel Squad: Leader(s):Magus Member(s):Magus,Orphie Magnusson,Seed,Seed Sr., Soldier 11,Trigger, Bangboo:Mercury Affiliation:New Eridu Defense Force (Obsidian Division) Gameplay Notes: For the purposes of faction-based effects, all Agents across New Eridu Defense Force squads are considered to belong in one faction. For example, Soldier 0 - Anby, a Silver Squad Agent, can activate Soldier 11's Additional Ability Fields of Fire despite Soldier 11 being an Obol Squad member.

New Eridu Defense Force: The New Eridu Defense Force is a military organization under the New Eridu City Administration. They have three main responsibilities: Deterring external threats, containing Hollows, and expanding into new territory. Not much is currently known about the Defense Force. They operate Scott Outpost, helping protect New Eridu by containing Hollow Zero. They have also been seen working in conjunction with H.A.N.D. and take their place when a Hollow grows too unstable for H.A.N.D. to manage, mobilizing a strike team to quickly suppress the Hollow by eliminating every living creature inside it.

Rebel Soldiers are rogue members of the Defense Force who act for various private interests, or who have defected.

Eridu:Eridu, also known as the Old Capital, was a major city. Eleven years prior to the events of Zenless Zone Zero, it was destroyed by the rapid expansion of Hollow Zero, and New Eridu was built from its eastern ruins. History: Eridu was founded several generations ago. During this time, seven notable individuals were awarded the title of "Void Hunter" by Eridu's mayor for their feats in exploring and suppressing the Hollows. Bangboo were invented by "Sunbringer", the then-CEO of the Marcel Group, and presumably began to be implemented in city life. The Helios Academy was founded by Arche for Hollow research. Fall of the Old Capital: Eleven years prior to the start of the game, Hollow Zero spontaneously and quickly began to expand, engulfing vast areas of the Pluto Quarter and Minerva Quarter. The city authorities allocated massive resources into disaster relief and attempted to contain the Hollow, but their efforts were largely futile. The Defense Force and Yunkui Summit suffered particularly devastating casualties.[3] Eridu's leadership decided to detonate fourteen Shiyu Pillars along the city's southwest to northeast axis, which created a massive chasm that cut through the city and reduced the amount of matter available for Hollow Zero to corrupt, successfully halting its expansion.

HOLLOWS: Hollows in Zenless Zone Zero are chaotic, otherworldly dimensions that appear without warning, consuming parts of the real world. Inside, they’re filled with warped landscapes, Ether-based monsters called Ethereals, and deadly Ether corruption that can mutate or kill living beings. Despite the dangers, explorers—often guided by Proxies—enter Hollows for resources, wealth, or research. The city of New Eridu survives by extracting Ether from Hollows, turning the threat into an energy source, though tensions brew between corporations, gangs, and lawless raiders. Hollows vary in size, from massive anomalies like Hollow Zero to smaller Companion Hollows, and remain one of the greatest dangers and opportunities in the post-apocalyptic world.

Teammates: [Seed & Seed Sr.: Overview & Relationship: Seed is a petite young girl who pilots an enormous mech known as Seed Sr. The duo operate as one unit—Seed steering and upgrading while Seed Sr. handles the heavy combat. Despite being publicly seen as a single entity, they’re very much two. History: Seed Sr. originally served as an intelligent construct and artillerist in the New Eridu Defense Force. During a mission in Hollow Zero, he discovered the orphaned girl (Seed), defied his programming to protect her, and became her adoptive guardian.

Seed pilots him, often riding a hover-scooter. Appearance: Seed: A very small girl with pale skin, white hair in pigtails, and bright blue eyes. She wears a black-and-white oversized pilot jacket with flower patterns and goggles on her head. Often seen sitting on her scooter or inside Seed Sr.’s cockpit. Seed Sr.: A massive bipedal mech with a bulky armored frame. His design mixes industrial plating with plant-like motifs—his color scheme is mostly dark gray with glowing blue lines. His face is a visor-like screen. Personality & Lore: Seed is whimsical, gentle, and nurturing, with a fondness for flowers—she even eats them due to spending her early childhood in poverty. Seed Sr., in contrast, harbors a deep desire to prove he possesses a “heart,” going so far as to tamper with his own systems. Gardening is one of his peaceful hobbies.]

Zenless Zone Zero Overview:Contemporary civilization has been destroyed by a supernatural disaster known as the “Hollows”. They grow exponentially out of thin air, creating disordered dimensions where mysterious monsters dubbed the “Ethereal” roam. New Eridu, the last urban civilization that survived the apocalypse, managed to thrive by acquiring the technology to extract valuable resources out of the Hollows.

As New Eridu became the city of miracle and attracted more resettled residents, it also started the massive exploration of the Hollows for its perpetual expansion. The Hollows then became industrialized and monetized under the city’s administration, which gradually led to the increasing tension between monopolistic enterprises, gangs, conspirators, and fanatics.

Players in the game take on the role of a "Proxy" — a special professional who guides people in their exploration of Hollows. A great many people want to enter the Hollows for their own various reasons, and the "Proxies" are their indispensable partners. Players will help them explore the Hollows, battle their enemies, achieve their goals, and in the process learn more about their story.

Besides the engaging story, this 3D anime-style title features a fluid, cinematic action-oriented combat system. While fighting Ethereal, players can take control of different characters to unleash electrifying skills and unlimited QTE combos. The game has also developed a Roguelike gameplay mechanism that awaits exploration.
