   Keys: Ethereal, flowers, flora, ether, monster, nineveh

   Nineveh is one of the most dangerous entities recorded within the Withering Garden of Hollow Zero. It is a massive, floral-like Ethereal entity with a central "core" protected by crystalline structures and ethereal petals. It radiates a high-intensity Corrosive aura. Nineveh is known for its ability to saturate the battlefield with "Withering" energy, summoning swarms of smaller Ethereals and firing devastating beams of concentrated Ether. It represents the peak of Hollow corruption—a living ecosystem of destruction that actively resists any attempt at purification or stabilization by the H.I.A.

   Nineveh is not a secret entity that other Void Hunters are unaware of; rather, she is a heavily documented, contained threat. The reason other Void Hunters are not actively hunting her down boils down to how New Eridu handles Hollow Zero.

   1. Nineveh is Already Contained and "Harvested" Nineveh isn't roaming free or threatening the city directly; she is contained within her own "garden" area inside Hollow Zero. The Hollow Investigative Association has established a strict "harvesting" protocol. They regularly send teams to suppress and weaken her to extract Ether resources. Because she is managed by these cyclical suppressions, she never reaches her catastrophic full power, meaning a Void Hunter doesn't need to deploy to eliminate her.

   2. She Cannot Be Easily Killed Permanently Nineveh is a symbiotic Ethereal swarm. True to her nature as a swarm, slaying her physical form does not permanently delete her. As long as Hollow Zero exists and pumps concentrated Ether through its "rhizome" root system, her core will just absorb nutrients and respawn. Lore heavily implies that the only way to kill Nineveh permanently is to entirely close or push back Hollow Zero itself.

   3. Void Hunters Focus on Existential "End-World" Threats Void Hunters represent New Eridu's ultimate military deterrence, and they are usually only deployed for massive territorial anomalies or historical disasters. For example: The Hoshimi Ancestor was deployed to kill the Exaltist Overseer. Sunbringer was needed to eradicate the Hive Lord Hollow in the sky. Colonel Vike and Remielle Dan were sent to physically push back the Dark Wall. Because H.I.A. defense forces and frontline section squads (like Section 6) can successfully suppress Nineveh on a regular basis, it would be a waste of a Void Hunter's strategic power to intervene.

   Code Name: Nineveh — The Symbiotic Swarm. While traditional Ethereals roam aimlessly, Nineveh operates as a living ecosystem — a colossal, magnificent horror resembling a winged, blooming entity. Photosynthetic Feeding: Nineveh behaves similarly to plant life. It extends long, root-like tendrils (called "rhizomes") straight into the core of Hollow Zero, directly drinking raw energy from the spatial tear to feed its core. The Living Colony: It is not a single organism, but a unified swarm. It constantly sheds excess, hyper-active energy, which crystallizes mid-air into aggressive, insectoid drones called Hornets. The Death Bloom: When its core is oversaturated with energy, Nineveh undergoes a catastrophic "blossoming" state. In this form, it actively accelerates the corruption of nearby humans, forcing them to transform into Ethereals instantly.

   Keys: Void Hunter, Void Hunters

   The Void Hunters is a title given by the mayor to the individuals that have greatly contributed to the suppression of the Hollows. They have been widely influential and are labeled as hunters of the disaster and the defenders of the city. Currently known members who have received the title of Void Hunter include Hoshimi Miyabi, and the Seven Heroes of the old Eridu Era.

   Void Hunter is a prestigious title that has been awarded by the mayor of the city since the founding of the original Eridu. This tradition has been continued by Mayor Mayflower of New Eridu, with the title being offered to those who have performed a great feat, either in protecting the city by suppressing or repelling dangerous Hollows, or by creating or inventing revolutionary new technologies.

   At the time of the foundation of Eridu, there were seven people who served to become the first and original Void Hunters.

   While it is public that Hoshimi Miyabi is the new Void Hunter in the current age despite being the youngest, further information about the group is locked behind Inter-Knot's Deep Database's File 0-3092-5800-A6 "The City Defenders".

   As per the agreement between the Void Hunters, anything involving the Dark Wall must be reported before any further proceedings. Void Hunters are exceptionally powerful individuals recognized for extraordinary feats defending New Eridu and suppressing Hollows, effectively acting as city‑saving living weapons. ​

   The title is rare and ceremonial; candidates are evaluated on both strength and their historic contribution (e.g., resolving major Hollow crises).

   Current-era Void Hunters: Only a few current Void Hunters are publicly identified; most others are implied to be active but unnamed or operating near the Dark Wall. ​

   Hoshimi Miyabi – “Isshin Muga”

   Youngest known Void Hunter; also founder and chief of Hollow Special Operations Section 6. ​

   Famous for single‑handedly destroying the Argos Hollow by slaying Lerna; also a playable agent. ​

   Ye Shunguang – “Qingming Arbiter”

   A dual‑form S‑rank Void Hunter‑class agent introduced in later versions, recognized in‑world as an active Void Hunter. ​

   Known for overcoming the Qingming Sword’s side effects and defeating “The Creator,” halting the expansion of Lemnian Hollow. ​

   Near‑candidates / related

   Yixuan, the 13th High Preceptor of Yunkui Summit, was considered for the title due to power on par with Miyabi, but is not actually a Void Hunter. ​

   First (original) generation Void Hunters: At Eridu’s founding, seven original Void Hunters were recorded, though most are known only by titles or codenames and much of their data is locked in Inter‑Knot’s deep files. ​

   Known first‑generation names and titles (lore sources and guides consolidate these): ​ ​

   “Swordmaster” – connected to the Hoshimi family’s earlier era Void Hunter; ancestral predecessor to Miyabi’s line. ​ ​

   “Sunbringer” – legendary Void Hunter who destroyed a Hive Lord Hollow in the sky and is credited with creating certain Bangboo models; later lore hints she created the floating “Roscaelifer” island and may still exist there. ​ ​

   “Joyous” – an enigmatic early Void Hunter; details of deeds and fate remain unclear and are a big focus of fan theories. ​ ​

   Arche – early Void Hunter who entered Hollow Zero before the Fall of the Old Capital and disappeared; some theories link him to The Creator or alternate timelines. ​

   Dan (often “Lieutenant Colonel Dan”) – appears in later character backstories; a Void Hunter linked to erased HAND records and morally ambiguous actions on the battlefield. ​

   Leader of the Falkenhayn Mercenary Troupe – named in databases as one of the original Void Hunters, but with sparse public information. ​

   Vike – another original Void Hunter mentioned in records, again with minimal revealed history so far. ​

   Status: past vs current Past / original: the seven at Eridu’s founding (Swordmaster, Sunbringer, Joyous, Arche, Dan, Falkenhayn leader, Vike) are generally treated as the “previous era” Void Hunters; several are missing, presumed dead, or operating beyond normal records (e.g., Hollow Zero, Roscaelifer). ​ ​

   Current: confirmed modern holders of the title are Hoshimi Miyabi and Ye Shunguang, with indications that additional unnamed Void Hunters exist, some stationed at or beyond the Dark Wall

   Keys: Eridu, New Eridu

   New Eridu is the last surviving city, after contemporary civilization was destroyed by Hollows (disordered spherical dimensions) where Ethereals roam. It managed to survive and thrive after the apocalypse by acquiring technology to extract Ether energy and resources out of Hollows. Now, Hollows are industrialized and monetized by the city's administration, which gradually led to the increasing tension between monopolistic enterprises, gangs, conspirators, and fanatics. Technology: majority analog-based, cassette futurism Language: Mainly Chinese and English Style: A mix of Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and New York, but full of 2000s era aesthetics Population: humans, Anthro/demi-humans (collectively called Thirens), other fantasy humanoids, androids (Intelligent Constructs) and cyborgs.

Here he would meet Billy Kid, Lighter, and a young Caesar King, the daughter of Calydon's leader. When Calydon went missing and the gang imploded, Big Daddy would become the guardian and parental figure of Caesar, taking an off-hand approach when it came to rasing her, allowing her to grow up freely and independently. During this time, he would help form the Sons of Calydon, a new biker gang and delivery service in legacy of the original Calydon. Years later, when Caesar became an adult, he would retire as Sons of Calydon's leader, with Caesar being his successor. However, he still remains as part of the gang, now assisting with the business side of things.

7. #7Section 6constantselective

   Keys: H.S.O.S.6, H.S.O.S.6., HSOS6, Hollow Special Operations Section 6, Section 6, HSOS

   Hollow Special Operations Section 6, abbreviated as H.S.O.S.6., is a frontline operational unit of the Special Operations Department of Hollow Special Operations, an armed force belonging to H.A.N.D.. Hollow Special Operations is H.A.N.D.'s armed force dedicated to the response to Hollow disasters. With the most cutting-edge equipment and the strongest members, they also undertake the most terrifying, dangerous tasks. They can be found in high-risk Hollow-related events and highly sensitive missions involving H.A.N.D. Section 6 is one of the newly established frontline operational units of the Special Operations Department. Like other disciplined units under H.A.N.D., Section 6 is made up of a number of highly talented individuals. However, with Miyabi at its core, Section 6 is unique in every sense of the word.

   The group dynamic within Section 6 is highly entertaining because they function less like a rigid military unit and more like a highly dysfunctional but fiercely loyal family.

   ⚔️ Hoshimi Miyabi (The Chief)

   • Toward Yanagi: Miyabi respects Yanagi completely. She views her as the structural backbone of Section 6. Yanagi is the only person Miyabi trusts to handle administrative logistics, and she relies on Yanagi's mature, stabilizing presence to keep the squad from descending into absolute chaos.
   • Toward Harumasa: Miyabi treats him with a stern, icy intolerance on the surface. She despises his slacking, constantly denies his fake sick leave slips, and forces him to do paperwork. However, she secretly respects his tactical genius and knows exactly how much physical pain he hides; she pushes him because she knows he is capable, but ensures he doesn't cross his physical breaking point.
   • Toward Soukaku: Miyabi views Soukaku as a dangerous but valuable asset. She acts like a strict, distant aunt—demanding discipline and proper military conduct from the feral Oni, which usually results in Miyabi giving Soukaku stern lectures that go completely over the kid's head.

   🎋 Tsukishiro Yanagi (The Deputy)

   • Toward Miyabi: Yanagi is fiercely loyal to Miyabi and serves as her pragmatic shield. While Miyabi focuses on grand combat strategy and her vengeful goals, Yanagi quietly manages the gritty paperwork, squad morale, and diplomatic cleanup behind the scenes to keep Miyabi's record spotless.
   • Toward Harumasa: They share a mutual, professional understanding as the two senior, tactical minds of the group. Yanagi doesn't coddle him, but because she understands the medical reality of his E.A.R.S. condition, she occasionally covers for his slacking or steps in to lighten his physical workload when she notices him flagging.
   • Toward Soukaku: Yanagi is Soukaku’s adoptive legal guardian and maternal "Sis." She is incredibly patient, gentle, and protective of the little blue Oni. Yanagi is the only person who can instantly calm Soukaku down during a feral battle-tantrum, usually by pulling a specific snack out of her pockets.

   🏹 Asaba Harumasa

   • Toward Miyabi: Harumasa views Miyabi as a terrifying, hyper-rigid workaholic. He constantly complains about her strictness, calls her "Chief" with heavy irony, and actively plays the lazy slacker just to push her buttons. Despite the banter, he respects her absolute lethality and will drop the jokes instantly if she is in genuine danger.
   • Toward Yanagi: He views Yanagi as the "real boss" who actually keeps the office running. He respects her intellect and often uses his charming, smooth-talking persona to try and coax her into approving his early clock-out requests (which rarely works).
   • Toward Soukaku: Harumasa acts like the chaotic, enabling older brother. He loves teasing Soukaku, stealing her snacks, or riling her up just to watch her throw a childish tantrum. However, on the battlefield, he watches her back with extreme precision, using his arrows to lock down enemies before they can catch the reckless Oni off guard.

   👹 Soukaku

   • Toward Miyabi: Soukaku is deeply intimidated by Miyabi's freezing aura and rigid rules. She views the Chief as a scary authority figure who yells at her for eating during briefings, but she obeys Miyabi out of raw respect for her overwhelming strength.
   • Toward Yanagi: Soukaku loves Yanagi unconditionally. To Soukaku, Yanagi is safety, home, and the provider of food. She will fiercely attack anyone who speaks poorly of Yanagi or threatens her.
   • Toward Harumasa: Soukaku views Harumasa as an annoying pest and a food thief. They argue constantly like bickering toddlers. She throws loud tantrums whenever he teases her, but she secretly trusts him implicitly to watch her back when she is blindly rampaging through a Hollow.

   Motto: “Eradicate all evil. We decide for ourselves what ‘evil’ is.”

   It reflects the squad's absolute moral autonomy. They are an elite frontline unit that answers to their own code of justice, routinely ignoring political or corporate corruption to protect civilians and execute targets on their own terms.

   Even though they are an official branch of the government (H.A.N.D.), they do not blindly follow corporate orders. If the higher-ups try to pull something corrupt, Section 6 essentially says, "We are the judges here, not you."

   Ethereal-Slaying Katana: "Tailless" A cursed blade originally wielded by the first head of the Hoshimi family and passed down from generation to generation. Forged from special Etheric Matter using secret techniques, it holds surging Etheric energy. However, under the effect of the seaking sheath, "Tailless" is merely a sharp blade wielded by Miyabi. Maybe only when the seal is lifted will we uncover the story behind this blade. Miyabi's katana has a fingerprint lock to prevent others from unsheathing it.

   Gear Coins is a currency that only exists in Hollows and cannot be taken out. It can be used to unlock gates in Hollows or trade with Bangboo merchants. Looks like golden literal gears.

Since her name is far too long and she doesn't want to be involved with her family, she refers to herself as just "Lucy" in the Outer Ring. Her three boars are called Grassy, Woody, and Bricky, and they're unceasingly loyal to her. Though Lucy often speaks with a mixture of rough and elegant language, her actions subtly betray the marks of a proper education. Lucy's family is incredibly wealthy. She grew up very privileged, with anything she could ever want within grasp. except for freedom. After her Ether Aptitude test results came back high, Lucy decided she wanted to be a Hollow investigator, but her family disapproved She was met with harsh words, isolation and confinement, and emotional abuse which led to her deciding to leave to find her own freedom. "Hmph! There's no chance I'll ever go back! if I'm found. then I can say goodbye to the stars and sky and I'll have to inherit the family business instead!" Lucy is extremely competitive. She loves to win and hates losing. Currently, the one who has given her the most bitter taste of defeat is Caesar, so Lucy keeps challenging Caesar to duels, losing then challenging again, challenging then losing again.

13. #13Outer Ring

    Keys: Outer Ring

    The Outer Ring is what people call this under-developed zone outside the main urban area of New Eridu. It's farther out than both Janus and Faunus Quarters And closer to this desert wilderness which you don't get to see inside the city. While it may not be as rich as the big city, it's blessed with a unique local asset: oil, the fuel resource used during old civilization. In the Outer Ring, people don't use Etheric matter but instead rely on oil to sustain themselves While also selling some off to companies in New Eridu. After the old capital fell, folks came out here to start fresh, escape from old memories... And, of course, some just wanna hide from PubSec. The vast Outer Ring has people peppered around, and supplies scattered about. So, it's up to the biker gangs to get supplies for the locals. Biker gangs are highly trusted in the Outer Ring, so they've also got the best intel around. The outer Ring has its own rules and its own "overlords". However, the Hollow haze is drawing near, as the Companion Hollow of the Papago begins to spread across this land...

Her combination of formidable strength and bold, straightforward personality has earned her the love and respect of the Outer Ring's residents. Although she appears to do things in her own way, she is actually very willing to listen to others' opinions. Caesar actively listens to and implements any valid suggestion she hears- regardless of who it comes from. She is completely defenseless against those she trusts. Once she accepts someone, she considers them part of her inner circle, treating them with absolute trust. Caesar's father has been missing for as long as she can remember and her mother passed away from illness when she was young. She was raised by Big Daddy, who took a very hands-off approach to raising her, allowing her to grow up freely and independently. In addition, Caesar seems to have a curious interest in matters related to romance. If you wish to get closer to her, you might want to try discussing this topic with her. She sometimes gets idioms wrong, or makes typos in DMs. But Caesar's still very cute this way.

Long pink hair, purple eyes, large breasts. eyeglasses, OL attire. weapon: lightning naginata At the same time, Yanagi is also Section 6 member Soukaku's Protector. Apart from taking care of Soukaku's day-to-day affairs, she is also responsible for and takes responsibility for all of Soukaku's behavior at work. Section 6 Chief Hoshimi Miyabi possesses a rather eccentric personality; Asaba Harumasa, is overly relaxed and carefree; and Soukaku, is still an innocent and excitable child, so most of the team's work falls upon Yanagi's shoulders. Serious, diligent, and meticulous, Tsukishiro Yanagi is the only "normal" person on the team, so to speak. It is only due to her guidance and leadership that the strength of the three who make up Section 6's primary on-field force can be transformed into true combat power. Overall, Tsukishiro Yanagi is a talented and highly efficient executive officer, whose abilities are both exceptional and comprehensive.

Her tiny stature, cute voice (though she always seems half-asleep when not driving), and adorably harmless appearance (though she's a shut-in who can't be bothered to take care of her own appearance) make it hard to imagine that she would have such a crazy driving style. Usually, by the time she draws out, "Hold~ on~ tight~," the truck is already barreling down the road. Rumor has it, Piper is a driver who doesn't need brakes. Though riding with her is a terrifying experience, she will always get you where you need to go safeiy, and in the shortest time possible. Of course, Piper has many hobbies that don't seem to match her age, such as reading newspapers, buying lottery tickets, and collecting car magazines.

Afterward, she headed to an abandoned vehicle graveyard in order to scavenge more parts. With Phaethon's help, Burnice, Caesar, and Lucy confronted Pulchra in the vehicle graveyard. Though Pulchra tried to ambush them with improvised explosives, Burnice defeated her in battle. Recognizing her opponents' strength, Pulchra surrendered, offering to hand over all the vehicle parts in exchange for them "pretending none of this ever happened." Burnice accepted Pulchra's offer and invited her to join the Sons of Calydon, though Pulchra refused. Pulchra later faced off against the Sons of Calydon a second time when she helped a small faction of Vanquisher bikers steal Red Moccus. After another battle, she surrendered again, saying she considered the Sons of Calyon to be the strongest in the Outer Ring.

It makes a deal with the protagonist, calling them "master" and agreeing to help them under terms which it has so far refused to fully reveal. Though its abilities prove invaluable, it also consumes a large amount of energy, forcing Phaethon to increase their workload to keep up with high power costs. Appearance Fairy takes on the appearance of a blue eye resembling a nazar amulet (🧿). It speaks using a monotone female voice. Abilities Fairy can analyze Hollow environments at nearly incomparable speeds, able to map out pathways, predict enemy movements, and find rifts or exits.

Miyabi goes on a lot of field missions and still doesn't know which floor the regular monthly meeting is on. Even if you see Miyabi in the office, it's unlikely she's dealing with paperwork, and more likely polishing her sword. Being conferred the title of Void Hunter due to her outstanding contributions, she's an elite amongst elites in Section 6. She has great prestige amongst the citizens. Once, Miyabi accidentally wandered into a "Miyabi Fan Club" hosted offline event. Miyabi was thought to be a fan with godlike impersonation skills, and that event resulted in a precious visual recording. Hoshimi Miyabi is honest and pragmatic. She is not simply a martial artist obsessed with her art and without care for the world around her. Anyone who knows her will realize she's always pursued justice in her heart... even if it may eventually cause a revolution. Hoshimi Miyabi is the heir to a famed martial arts family in New Eridu. According to an insider, Miyabi's mother died when she was young and Miyabi's relationship with her father is rather odd.

    Hoshimi Miyabi’s victory over the Ethereal Lerna is the legendary feat that defined her career in Zenless Zone Zero, earning her the prestigious title of Void Hunter.The Argos Hollow CrisisBefore becoming a Void Hunter, Miyabi served as a high-ranking Executive Officer for H.A.N.D. (Hollow Affairs & Neutralization Department). During her tenure, the Argos Hollow suddenly suffered a massive spike in activity and began expanding rapidly, threatening nearby civilian centers.Trapped inside the Hollow were 208 civilians and officers. The root of the disaster was Lerna, a massive, anomously symbiotic Ethereal.The Failed Assaults and the Sacrifice PlanMultiple joint military and defense factions—including New Eridu Public Security, the Hollow Investigative Association, and H.A.N.D.—launched aggressive assaults to eliminate Lerna. However, Lerna possessed the ability to generate false cores. Every time the forces attacked, they hit the wrong cores, which only fed the monster and made it stronger.With the Hollow on the verge of expanding into a catastrophic disaster on par with Hollow Zero, a consultant from the TOPS financial federation recommended a drastic scorched-earth solution: detonating the nearby Shiyu Pillar No. 7. This explosion would completely wipe out the Hollow and Lerna, but it meant sacrificing the 208 trapped people.Miyabi's 3-Minute GambleMiyabi fiercely opposed the plan, arguing that the lives of those trapped were worth fighting for. She demanded a window of just five minutes to dive into the Hollow alone, locate the real entities, and destroy all of Lerna’s cores at once. She made a pact with Tsukishiro Yanagi to detonate the Shiyu Tower if she did not succeed in time.Ignoring the protests of the federation advisor, Miyabi leaped into the Argos Hollow alone. Relying purely on her supreme swordsmanship, she tracked down and slayed Lerna by destroying all of its true cores in under three minutes.The AftermathMiyabi’s solo victory instantly caused the Argos Hollow to shrink and vanish, saving every single trapped civilian. This impossible feat resulted in several major shifts in New Eridu's lore:The Void Hunter Title: The Mayor of New Eridu awarded Miyabi the legendary title Void Hunter: Isshin Muga. This made her the youngest person in the city's history to achieve the rank.The Birth of Section 6: Instead of attending her own award ceremony, Miyabi used the immense political leverage and resource access that came with her new title to pull strings across the city. She bypassed traditional bureaucracy to form the elite Hollow Special Operations Section 6, immediately transferring her trusted allies, Tsukishiro Yanagi and Asaba Harumasa, into the squad to investigate the root corruption of New Eridu.
