   Bangboo are small, rabbit-like robots. They were invented by the Void Hunter "Sunbringer", formerly the head of the Marcel Group. Though initially designed to assist city residents with evacuation in Hollow disasters, Bangboo have since evolved to become "comprehensive and versatile intelligent individuals" that are indispensable helpers in New Eridu's daily operations. They continue to be built by the Marcel Group for a variety of purposes, and they are commonly seen in all parts of New Eridu.

   Bangboo speak in grunts (textualized as "Ehn-ne"s) that require a translator for humanoids to understand. Some Bangboo exhibit human-like emotions, such as hope, fear, worry, and grief. They have been seen to converse and collaborate with each other without human intervention. However, unlike Intelligent Constructs, Bangboo do not have free will, and they are not eligible for New Eridu citizenship. Bangboo without masters are legally required to be scrapped.

   Bangboo are mechanical in nature and require charging. Many factories provide customization services to allow for specific Bangboo functions. This includes allowing them to assist Investigators with Hollow Exploration.

   Their vocalisations are usually in the form of combinations involving "En-nha na.", "Nu-nah en." or "Nu-nah uhn."

   Most Bangboo are short and stout, only around knee-height. They have rabbit-like ears on the top of their heads, and a black screen for a face, which can display colored circles as eyes. Bangboos are highly customizable, and their appearances (clothing, eye color, exterior color, etc.) can vary greatly. Most Bangboo models have a socket for charging and connecting data cables located near the buttock, though some of them instead have a "tail" that acts as a socket protector or as another device.

   The Cunning Hares were formed as a small-scale human resource dispatch agency, their main business to deal with commissions relating to Hollows.

   Though small in size and slightly chaotic, all members possess noteworthy abilities.

   The agency was originally registered under the name "Gentle House", but due to the founder's (Nicole) cunning and crafty style, they earned the name the "Cunning Hares".

   Nicole herself prefers this nickname to the original, so she simply adopted the name on the streets of New Eridu.

   The members are: Anby Demara, Billy Kid, Nekomiya Mana, Nicole Demara.

   Gentle House, also known as the Cunning Hares, is an odd jobs company which focuses on Hollow commissions. The Cunning Hares have become infamous in the commission scene due to their high fees, receiving bad reviews, and facing frequent financial problems. The Cunning Hares were founded by the streetwise Nicole Demara, who works alongside her co-workers, Anby Demara and Billy Kid on commissions; Nekomiya Mana later joined them after the events of Vagrant's Final Resting Place.

    Hollows are supernatural disasters. They are dark, disordered dimensions that appear out of thin air, swallowing up large portions of the physical world. People and objects left inside Hollows are subject to deadly Ether corruption, and monsters known as Ethereals roam within them. Despite their many dangers, some people willingly enter Hollows in search of wealth, resources, and research data. Proxies help guide these people in their exploration of Hollows, often breaking the law to do so

    Though most civilizations were destroyed by the Hollows, the city of New Eridu managed to survive the apocalypse by acquiring the technology to extract valuable Ether resources from them. Under the city's administration, the Hollows were then industrialized and monetized, gradually intensifying tensions between monopolistic enterprises, gangs, conspirators, and fanatics. Though Eridu was eventually consumed by Hollow Zero, its survivors rebuilt in what would become the city of New Eridu.

    Hollows are characterized by their black, spherical appearances. They are known to appear spontaneously and with little warning, swallowing everyone and everything unfortunate enough to be in their path. Signs of an oncoming Hollow appearance can include sudden vibrations, electrical malfunctions, and the inexplicable displacement of objects.

    Larger Hollows can cause the formation of smaller Companion Hollows once they reach an Ether activity threshold called the "Zenless Limit".

    Ethereals: Once they have spawned, Hollows begin to create Ether-based monsters known as Ethereals. Although Ethereals have not been known to leave their Hollows, they still pose a serious threat to anyone within. Hollows are sustained by Ether energy, which is directly linked to the Ethereals residing within them. It is possible to reduce the size of a Hollow by destroying a massive number of regular Ethereals, or by eliminating a particularly large one. If continuously suppressed, a Hollow may even gradually shrink until it disappears.

    Corruption: While inside a Hollow, both living and non-living beings are subject to gradual Ether corruption. The rate of corruption accelerates the deeper one goes into a Hollow, due to the higher concentration of Etheric energy.

    Humans and humanoids who stay inside Hollows too long are eventually afflicted with Ether corruption. Corruption causes rapid mutations in a person's physiology, including the growth of dark, painful crystals throughout their body; the formation of a distinctive Ether "core"; and a gradual loss of sanity. Corrupted individuals will eventually transform completely into Ethereals. There is no known cure for Ether corruption, with current treatments only able to reverse mild cases. Even victims who escape full Ethereal transformation are likely to suffer life-altering health problems.

    Individuals are corrupted at rates relative to their Ether aptitude. Those with high Ether aptitude can stay in Hollows unprotected for longer periods of time without suffering the effects of corruption. Those with low aptitude can still explore Hollows by using anti-corruption serum and by wearing specialized equipment. Anti-corruption gear is commonly used by New Eridu Public Security, the Hollow Investigative Association, the New Eridu Defense Force, and bandits.

    Both intelligent and non-intelligent machines can be corrupted, though their natural Ether resistance is higher.

    Environment: The once-ordinary interiors of Hollows are drastically altered by Ether, turning them into mazes of distorted environments. Within Hollows, normal rules don't apply; a seemingly-straightforward path could be riddled with invisible fissures and blockages, while what looks like a dead end could contain a portal out of the Hollow. Some Hollows even seem to be interconnected — passing through a fissure in one Hollow may lead one into an entirely different Hollow.[8] Communication with the outside world is nearly impossible from within a Hollow, with only the legendary proxy Phaethon being able to reliably do so.[9]

    Hollows are naturally complex places, and being careless can lead to death for inexperienced and experienced explorers alike. To safely explore Hollows, many explorers use Bangboo, small robots equipped with Carrot programs. These programs create maps of Hollows that can guide explorers along safer routes, minimize their time spent in the Hollow and help avoid dangerous Ethereals.

    Dangers: According to the New Eridu City Administration, there are various dangers one can encounter while in a Hollow:

    1. Ethereals: mutant monsters that attack all foreign living creatures.
    2. Ether: a substance that is as ubiquitous as air, with great energy potential but deadly corruptive effects.
    3. The Corrupted: Individuals can become corrupted by the aforementioned Ether, slowly mutating and losing their conscious thoughts.
    4. Lawless Thugs: Criminals who seek to rob other explorers for profit.
    5. Hollow Raiders, Proxies, and other unsanctioned explorers.

    "Phaethon" is a well-known Proxy in New Eridu referring to Wise and Belle acting together as one Proxy.

    Wise and Belle utilize their exclusive Hollow Deep Dive System, a device they are said to have constructed from ancient technology found in the Hollows. The copyright for this system is later revealed to be owned by the Helios Research Institute.

    Using the H.D.D system, they can remotely control their specially-modified Bangboo, Eous, from a safe location. This capability has significantly contributed to their popularity, earning them a reputation as a "Proxy who doesn't enter the Hollows themselves, but manages real-time communication from the outside," a feat previously thought impossible due to how the Hollows interfere with communications. Additionally, by controlling Eous from the outside, they can update their Hollow data in real-time, ensuring that the "Carrot" (Hollow map) doesn't become obsolete while their clients are inside the Hollow. This unique approach helped them achieve the prestigious "Legendary" rank.

    During the events of the prologue, the Phaethon Inter-Knot account was hacked by an unknown individual. Left with no other choice, Wise and Belle handed over the account information to Public Security, also losing a large portion of their collected Hollow Data in the process. Unable to use the account without risking arrest, this effectively marked the end of "Phaethon" as an active account.

    Despite the Phaethon account no longer being accessible, Wise and Belle's reputation endured. Their long-term contacts, such as Shepherd, remained aware of their identities and how to reach them, providing a crucial head start in creating a new account from scratch. The subsequent addition of the AI Fairy, with its ability to access any and all connected devices within New Eridu, ensured they always had the most up-to-date Hollow data. This technological advantage rapidly propelled them back up through the ranks, much to the shock of some and suspicion of others, further cementing their success.

    The Corrupted are individuals who have become corrupted and mutated by the Unknown Substance (Ether) inside the Hollows. Those with low Ether Aptitude are for more likely to become corrupt. The Corrupted are dangerous to non-corrupted individuals. Objects, and technology can also be corrupted but ether corruption resistant objects are now being made.

    The process of corruption involves: Loss of sanity, crystals forming on the body or object, a black-hole like core forms, usually near the head of a being before fully transforming into an ethereal, with no trace of the original body left.

    Once swallowed, both non-living and living beings inside the Hollow will be subject to Corruption. Non-living objects will form Ether crystals. The deeper the part of the Hollow, the higher the concentration of Etheric energy in that place, which can accelerate the corruption and increases Pressure.

    For humans, the time before corruption takes a toll on their body depends on their Ether Aptitude and equipment. Some people have high Ether aptitude, allowing them to explore Hollows for extended periods without suffering the effects of Corruption. Those with low aptitude can still explore Hollows by wearing Anti-Ether Corruption equipment, which is commonly used by PUBSEC officers, Jaegers soldiers, and thugs. If a human is corrupted, they will turn into an Ethereal.

    Intelligent machines can also be corrupted if they have passed the Forbidden Fruit test.

They are primarily responsible for Hollow disaster response within New Eridu, assisting with Hollow containment and disaster-related matters. Investigators regularly complete official commissions such as rescues and Ethereal hunts. Unlike Proxies, the investigators of the Association are legally accredited by the city administration.

    The HIA recruits many individuals with high Ether aptitude to complete risky work. The HIA Career Club allows prospective investigators to compete in combat simulations and judge whether or not they are field-ready.

    The HIA also works with Scott Outpost, where they help direct the containment of Hollow Zero.

    Like the Proxies, Investigators are the successors of the Void Hunter "Joyous", who was the first person to learn how to navigate Hollows.

    Multiple elite agencies collaborate to research and suppress the most dangerous Hollows, especially Hollow Zero. These include H.A.N.D.; the New Eridu Defense Force's Obsidian Division; and the White Star Institute.

    The promotion path for Investigators is:

    1. Trainee Investigator
    2. Full Investigator
    3. Senior Investigator
    4. Elite Investigator
    5. Ace Investigator.

    With each promotion, an investigator shall face more pressure and danger, resulting in few to make it to the top and become an Ace.

    HIA recruits without high Ether aptitude are unable to advance far, and are usually relegated to doing office or logistical work. Meanwhile, many less capable investigators perish in the Hollow, or are left unable to work from the long-term effects of Ether corruption.
