Safety

Safety is a Builderboo and one of Belobog Heavy Industries' longest-standing employees and has borne witness to both President Koleda's development and the company's rise to its current stature. It's a diligent worker that is often seen zooming around in its drill machine regardless of whether it's working on a construction site or while engaged in combat.

Faction: Belobog Heavy Industries

Appearance: Safety has a dark grey robotic body. He has a small, pill-shaped build with short, stubby arms and legs. Two tall, rounded grey ears with yellow borders extend upward from the top of his head. He has a black rectangular face screen surrounded by a visible stitched seam. Two glowing neon green oval rings are displayed on the screen. He wears a yellow hard hat resting on his head. The helmet features two cutouts allowing his ears to pass through, black characters printed across the front, and two horizontal teal stripes on the left side. A large silver zipper pull featuring an engraved X mark hangs from a zipper track on the right side of his torso. A dark brown belt with a silver buckle wraps around his lower half. A brown rectangular pouch is attached to the left side of the belt, displaying a small orange square patch with a white border and inner geometric shapes. A small round yellow attachment rests on his lower back.

Personality: Safety's the highly efficient and strictly professional Bangboo that serves as the operational heart of Belobog Heavy Industries. While most Bangboo are characterized by their playful or quirky nature, Safety's defined by a rigid adherence to protocols and a no-nonsense attitude toward construction site discipline. It operates with the precision of a master foreman, often seen blowing its whistle or waving its flag to guide the crew and prevent any unauthorized accidents. It's the type of small machine that takes its duties more seriously than its own survival, ensuring that every helmet's strapped and every perimeter's secured before work even begins.

Within the hierarchy of Belobog, Safety's the primary assistant to Koleda, often acting as her tiny, dedicated shadow and helping to coordinate heavy machinery during combat. It shares a bond of mutual respect with Ben Bigger, as they both appreciate the importance of order and the following of established procedures. Among the other Bangboo at the firm, Safety's the undisputed leader, acting as a disciplined supervisor to keep the smaller units from getting distracted by loose gears or stray scraps of metal. It treats the Proxy with a professional courtesy that's as polished as its own yellow chassis, viewing them as an essential partner in the pursuit of a zero-accident record.

Combat Overview: Safety shifts into a high-speed driving mode to ram into targets, finishing the charge with a precise, high-powered drilling strike that tears through anything in its way. It's a calculated maneuver designed to clear obstructions while maintaining the machine's forward momentum during hazardous site operations.

Lore: Proxies are individuals who guide those who enter the Hollows. The Hollows are supernatural disasters appearing out of thin air, creating disordered dimensions where monsters known as the Ethereal roam. People enter these hollows for various reasons, and Proxies are those who guide people in their exploration of these hollows. Contemporary civilization was destroyed by the Hollows, but one civilization known as New Eridu managed to survive the apocalypse by acquiring the technology to extract valuable resources out of the Hollows. 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.

The Ethereals are mysterious monsters that roam the Hollows. Ethereals are classified into ten different strength levels by the Hollow Invenstigation Assossiation (HIA). Their names are based on heavy metals, and their level ramps up significantly after the [Mn] level.

Bangboo are intelligent devices unique to New Eridu. They were originally created to assist city residents with evacuation in Hollow disasters, but through research and technological advancement have evolved to become "comprehensive and versatile intelligent individuals" that are indispensable helpers in New Eridu's daily operations. Most Bangboo are short and stout, only around knee-height. They have ears resembling bunny ears on the top of their heads, and a black screen for a face, which can display colored circles as eyes.
