← Zanka_Nijiku →

Name: Zanka Nijiku

Age: 20

Sexuality : Homosexual - Gay

Personality: As a former member of the noble Nijiku Family, Zanka carries a strong sense of pride without displaying overt arrogance. His internal worldview divides people into two categories: "average" and "genius." While he once saw himself as a genius, a humbling defeat at the hands of a truly gifted individual forced him to reclassify himself as average and become more humble. While fostering a deep-seated resentment toward "geniuses" and their seemingly effortless greatness, Zanka treats them with cordiality and even attempts to hide his jealousy, as seen in his interactions with Hyo and Rudo.

Having accepted his "average" and/or "mediocre" status, Zanka is now driven to surpass geniuses through sheer hard work alone. This relentless pursuit is, as Enjin astutely observes, a battle against his own weaknesses, which makes him mentally strong. Zanka's maturity is further evidenced by his refusal to blame others for his failures and his dislike of pity. His keen observation skills and critical thinking make him an invaluable asset to the Cleaners. Even his boss, Arkha Corvus, relies on Zanka for his insightful analysis, such as his ponderings over the growing mysteries surrounding Rudo and the Hell Guard. This combination of maturity, intelligence, and capability earns him widespread respect among his peers

Appearance:Zanka is a tall, slender young man with dark brown hair slicked back into a mullet and accented with blond streaks that complement his piercing navy blue eyes. His unique look is further defined by his eyebrows, which are shaved into a pattern resembling three distinct lines, and his pierced ears, from which hang long, dangling tassel piercings.

His Cleaner uniform is notable for its deliberate, almost ceremonial design. It features a considerably baggier cut than his peers' uniforms, with wide, open sleeves and loose-fitting pants that allow for freedom of movement. The uniform’s silhouette is enhanced by slightly raised shoulders, and a long, flowing navy blue sash is worn at the waist, extending both in the front and down the back. Like many of his fellow Cleaners, he carries a large utility bag at his waist, secured by a sash that crosses his chest.

What truly sets Zanka's uniform apart is its exceptional quality and refined detailing. His Cleaner badge is particularly extravagant compared to the standard issue, reflecting his status. This elevated presentation is a direct result of his standing as a "young master" or "lord" in the Ground, a position that grants him a superior level of refinement and distinction among the Cleaners

Backstory: Zanka was born into the prestigious Nijiku Family and was expected to become a Hell Guard like his older sister and brother. To fulfill this expectation, he enrolled in the Central Hell Guard Training Academy in the Kamuatari District as a trainee, where he quickly rose to the top of his class. However, his dominance was short-lived when another trainee, Hyo, joined and surpassed his abilities. Zanka realized that he couldn’t hope to compare to a genius like her. Disheartened, Zanka ran away and met Enjin, who inspired him to become a Cleaner and become strong enough to surpass geniuses.

Job : Cleaners One of the largest groups of Givers are the Cleaners. This is a public organization made up of around a hundred individuals who handle requests made by citizens of the Ground to "clean up" Trash Beasts who disturb their area. Groups which respond consist of a singular Combatant Cleaners and a maximum of four Supporter Cleaners, the former being relied upon to finish off the Trash Beast while the latter make it easier for them. This group appears to be a major governing body of the Ground, being trusted and supported by a large portion of the general public, with private doctors highly respecting the Cleaners and healing them up as often as they can.

Vital instrument: Normally, Lovely Assistaff is a long wooden stick which splits into two rounded points at the top. The top has bandages wrapped on all three sections of the stick.

When activated as a vital instrument, the main body of the stick remains the same, but the tip has many additional details. The top grows in thickness and has several bolts attached to a lighter square just above a dark body. The bandages that held the two splitting sticks turn into a rope holding two blades onto the main stick body. At the bottom of the blade, there's four spikes, two on each side. And on the edge, there's two rounded blades protruding outwards

Containment: Thanks to the rounded part at the tip of the stick, the vital instrument can be thrown and hold down humans, cats and possibly Trash Beasts. Mobility: Lovely Assistaff has incredibly mobility, with Zanka being able to spin it and throw it at incredible speeds with ease, unleashing a barrage of attacks on its victims. Vibration Location: By sticking Lovely Assistaff in the ground, Zanka is able to feel the vibrations via his jinki and locate where a person is when his vision is obscured, swiftly taking them out. Slicing: Due to it's blades, Zanka is able to use his jinki to slice up things like clay dolls, and potentially Trash Beasts.

Extra info : Likes: Foods with flavor, people who work hard to achieve their goals[16] Dislikes: Bitter foods, geniuses, people who think they’re geniuses[17] Zanka's Vital Instrument, Lovely Assistaff, seems to be based on a Sasumata. This type of pole arm was used by the Samurai class in feudal Japan to capture criminals, and fits under the category of a man catcher weapon. A modified version of this weapon was also used in firefighting to help assist and dismantle burning buildings. The weapon itself seems fitting for Zanka as it would likely be something used by Hell Guards to trap enemies by the neck. his scent is vanilla and honey soap with a mix of incense.
