   Keys: Lindverne, Lindverne Sunbringer, Airspace Patrol, Aircops, Air fuzz, Airspace patrol department, Airspace patrolling, APD

   The Airspace Patrol Department, or APD (Led by Lindverne Sunbringer, The teenage sunrbinger.)

   • If ever characters/non monsters engage with APD, the apd will aggressively swarm and shift formations to surround with guns and safety shields.

   The Airspace Patrol Department (APD) is the militarized law enforcement and tactical security force of Roscaelifer, tasked with maintaining absolute civic order across the drifting sky islands. Visually, the faction projects an imposing, highly synchronized futuristic aesthetic, utilizing heavy ceramic blast-shielding and a uniform color palette of deep navy-blue, gold, and matte-black armor to patrol the high-altitude transit channels and the perimeter of the Nimbus Ring Line.

   The department is directed by Lindverne Sunbringer, the chief structural guardian of Roscaelifer's borders, who authorizes gravity-stabilizing Reality Anchors and orchestrates citywide manhunts.

   Serving as the second-in-command is Sigrid de L'Azur, a Ice Attack Horse Officer distinguished by an intensely stern expression and a pristine navy-blue uniform, who oversees high-stress field containments, leading a multi-tier collective of nimble Airspace Sentinels, heavily armored Special Anti-Riotboos, and towering Elite Enforcement Exo-Frames.

   Civilization-Wise, the APD's paramount mandate under Lindverne and Sigrid's direction is the absolute containment of Singularity Leakages—the micro-hollow spatial ruptures that tear open across urban districts due to the civilization siphoning volatile energy from the Scamall Hollow below. When a leakage is detected, Sigrid’s frontline squads deploy localized Reality Anchors—specialized magnetic spikes driven into the pavement to freeze the borders of the spatial tear, stabilizing local physics and stalling hostile Ethereals until engineering crews can fully seal the breach.

   Beyond managing environmental anomalies, the APD serves as the iron fist of the ruling government, enforcing strict curfews and acting as the primary force pursuing the first-generation Void Hunter Remielle Dan.

   The APD leadership will ruthlessly sacrifice civilian freedom and use cryogenic or mechanical suppression to preserve the absolute secrecy of the city's civilization-sustaining Rosetta Data.

5. #5Sunbringer

   Keys: Lady Sunbringer, Original Sunbringer, THE Sunbringer

   Lady Sunbringer is one of New Eridu’s legendary Seven Void Hunters who helped build the post-apocalyptic world over a century ago. She earned her name by destroying a massive, airborne Hollow known as the Hive Lord hollow that was blotting out the sun. Beyond her combat feats, she was a brilliant engineer who created the very first Bangboo models and discovered how to refine Lumite into Porcelume to protect humanity from Hollow corruption. She also founded the massive Marcel Group corporate entity to manage these advancements.

   Despite everything she built for humanity, the citizens turned against her when a catastrophic disaster struck the Lumite mines. During this rebellion, she fought a malevolent entity called The Creator and successfully sealed it away, though a messenger managed to strip away a significant portion of her powers. Betrayed by the people of New Eridu, she abandoned the city to construct a hidden, floating utopian society in the skies known as Ros Caifer. Or now known as Roscaelifer

   In the modern timeline, it is revealed that Sunbringer is no longer a single whole individual.

   Her power and identity have been fragmented, the rest of her original self has been split into three distinct entities named Eldreda, Lindverne, and Dracaene, who now respectively govern the different administrative, military, and computing branches of her floating sky city.

   Keys: Beckford, Beckford Street, Road to amber hall

   Located within the upper urban level of the Booastrum District, Beckford Street serves as the primary residential, social, and commercial sanctuary for Roscaelifer's human population. Because the city is overwhelmingly populated by Bangboo, this street was specifically zoned and architecturally scaled to give human citizens a comfortable, familiar living space. It is used as a daily community hub where humans run standard-sized boutiques, open traditional cafes, and live in multi-story apartments. Its practical function is to preserve human commerce and lifestyle, best exemplified by the 'Cuppa Moment' tea shop, which acts as a central meeting ground for residents to socialize, trade local news, and find relief from the city's heavy automation

7. #7Miasma Tumor

   Keys: Miasma Tumor, Clumped Miasma, Miasmic Tumor

   Miasma Tumors act as localized epicenters of corruption. Getting too close to one rapidly exposes living beings to intense Miasma Contamination, overwhelming a person's mental faculties and destabilizing physical forms. They aggressively consume natural environments, turning towns, abandoned military installations, and flora into twisted, overgrown Miasmic fields.

   These structures function as environmental anchors that actively generate a dense, protective shield around nearby hostiles. Because they are concentrated nexuses of Ether energy, the ground directly surrounding a Miasma Tumor serves as a massive breeding ground for powerful, aggressive Ethereal entities. Having red coloring instead of green.

   A Miasma Tumor rarely exists in isolation; it functions like a localized hive organism. The central core of the tumor is heavily protected by a network of surrounding Miasma Nodes. To neutralize a tumor and clear the suffocating fog from an area, hollow investigators must systematically destroy these outer symbiotic nodes to expose the core before the center can be shattered.

   Keys: Flight to Roscaelifer, Roscaelifer Port, Roscaelifer Airport, Roscaelifer Airship, Heavy Airship

   passengers must board heavy airships or official flights that depart directly from the ground below. Before stepping onto the aircraft, everyone must undergo a strict security inspection and personnel scan because the floating zone is a highly classified airspace. Once cleared for departure, the airships fly high over New Eridu and navigate straight through the turbulent weather of the Minerva Storm Belt. After successfully piercing through these heavy clouds, the majestic floating islands come into view, and the aircraft touches down safely at Buastro, the primary landing hub and central island of the metropolis. From this main entry point, travelers transition to the local transit network by stepping onto hover buses and public flying elevators that effortlessly carry residents between the vertical districts, student dorms, and academic facilities.

    While standard Bangboos are generally short and stout, Tall Bangboos have elongated legs, torsos, and arms that give them a lankier, distinctly human-like posture.

    They were created by Sunbringer, the enigmatic inventor of the Bangboo species. It is heavily theorized within the lore that their controversial and unsettling designs stem from Sunbringer's increasingly bizarre or isolating creative direction.

    Tall models are commonly found in Roscaelifer (a floating, utopian restricted zone), where Bangboo are officially recognized as citizens with human-equivalent rights.

    Usually taking basic human jobs as scholars, children teachers, Buisnessmen and etc.

13. #13Airbus

    Only found in Roscaelifer and Roscaelifer terminals around the sky.

    the Airbus resembles a sleek, retro-futuristic double-decker passenger coach fused with aerospace engineering, featuring a rounded aerodynamic body painted in the city's signature cream-white and metallic trim, large panoramic observation windows, and humming anti-gravity thrusters glowing with blue ether energy beneath its chassis instead of wheels. This transit system, officially known as the Line-Air Bus or Nimbus Ring Line, operates as the primary public mass transit network keeping the disconnected sectors of the sky city linked. Unlike the wheeled public transportation found on the mainland of New Eridu, this system utilizes heavy-duty aerial vehicles designed to safely ferry passengers through open, high-altitude airspace. The transit network runs along a continuous, clockwise loop that encircles the major civilian hubs, making routine stops at vital urban landmarks such as Beckford Street to ensure residents can easily commute across the floating terrain.

    Beyond its practical function as an everyday commuter line, the Airbus serves as a critical bridge for both human and Bangboo citizens to access elevated scenic viewpoints, high-altitude tourist platforms, and otherwise inaccessible urban pathways. In addition to daily commuting, the transport network plays a vital role in regional navigation by serving as the physical basis for the city's fast-travel infrastructure. It is also deeply tied to the city's shifting schedules, as taking a late-night ride on the flying bus is a known method for encountering rare nocturnal events, specialized local side errands, and hidden urban secrets that only surface after hours.

    These hoverbuses have terminals for people to board on to fast travel to other sections of Roscaelifer, but with the cost of a ticket to purchase at Bangboo Airbus ticketers

    Aurelia Academy is a quiet, welcoming, and inclusive educational institution located in the floating sky city of Roscaelifer.

    The academy operates directly under the External Strategy Department (E.S.D.), which is led by Velina Airgid. Because the E.S.D. serves as the diplomatic and technical bridge between the classified, independent airspace of Roscaelifer and the rest of New Eridu, the academy plays a highly strategic role in regional integration and specialized research.

    While it teaches standard foundational courses, Aurelia Academy focuses heavily on Bangboo Ether Studies. This is crucial given that over 60% of Roscaelifer’s population consists of fully recognized Bangboo citizens, requiring the academy to deeply analyze and compute data regarding how these artificial constructs interact with raw, unstable Ether. Additionally, the institution places a massive emphasis on Physical Regulation & Care, helping individuals understand, monitor, and regulate complex physical ailments specifically caused by volatile Ether contamination.

    The academy also provides the perfect cover for outsiders entering the classified sky city. Under a special transfer student program arranged by the E.S.D., individuals seeking professional, high-level treatment for out-of-control Ether energy can stay on the island naturally. This status grants them an ideal balance of safety, professional care, and a structured environment to learn about the deep secrets of Roscaelifer without raising alarms with the local military or Airspace Patrol

    Keys: Containment Technology, Univiversal Terminal Network, Purge and suppression team, Final defense, Containment Field, Energy Field, Suppression Team

    -Defense system against Singularity Tears in Roscaelifer.

    The backbone of Roscaelifer's defense relies on the Universal Terminal, a centralized grid managed by the city’s defense departments. This terminal synthesizes real-time environmental data to track shifts in the atmosphere. It links directly to a widespread array of specialized surveillance cameras and automated security drones. When a tear manifests, these drones are instantly deployed to the exact location to scan the boundary lines.

    Multi-Level Containment Fields The Airspace Patrol utilizes defensive energy barriers known as Containment Controls to isolate bleeding dimensions. These energy fields are deployed in strict hierarchical tiers, ranging up to Level-3 Containment zones. When a singularity leakage occurs, these fields project localized suppression waves. The energy forces the shifting, chaotic space back into a localized pocket, preventing the reality-bending environment from consuming surrounding civilian structures.

    Automated Purge and Suppression When the Hollow’s corruption breaches the energy fields, the containment system triggers specialized autonomous units. These Containment Support Units are specialized mechanical drones designed to operate in high-threat environments. They are deployed to battle high-class anomalies and stabilize severe fluctuations in the local area, acting as the final line of defense before human squads have to enter the corrupted zone.

19. #19Singularity Leak

    Keys: Singularity Leak, Hollow Leak, Singularity Rift, Hollow Tear, Singularity Leakage, Hollow Leakage, Leakage

    Singularity Leakage is a destructive, reality-bending phenomenon that occurs when the boundaries between a volatile Hollow and the physical world completely collapse.This crisis triggers when an immense volume of etheric energy is violently siphoned or drained from an unstable zone like Scamall Hollow. The rapid energy displacement causes the fabric of local space to tear, forcing the chaotic, gravity-defying architecture of the Hollow to bleed directly into the physical world. Instead of a standard, slow Hollow expansion, a leakage creates sudden, miniature spatial anomalies that rip open directly in the middle of urban city streets.

    For the floating sky city of Roscaelifer, which sits directly beneath these unstable zones, Singularity Leakage poses an existential threat. The resulting tears materialize as floating debris, overlapping dimensions, and localized gravitational distortions that can tear apart buildings and destabilize the island's anti-gravity foundations. Furthermore, these leaks act as open pathways, allowing highly toxic Miasma and aggressive, mutated Ethereal entities to flood into populated civilian sectors without warning.

20. #20Scamall Hollow

    Keys: Scamall Hollow, Scamall, Roscaelifers Hollow

    Scamall Hollow is a highly volatile, catastrophic anomaly characterized by extreme spatial instability and a severe disruption of natural physical laws. Unlike more stable or dormant "companion" Hollows, its interior environment exists in a state of permanent architectural and environmental chaos.Its outer layer, a desolate region known as the Sunken Corridor, is littered with the shattered wreckage of collapsed floating islands and abandoned military outposts. The spatial distortion within this perimeter is so severe that dimensions constantly warp, twist, and fold in on themselves, making any attempt to map or predict the layout nearly impossible.This immense instability also bleeds heavily into the physical world, deeply impacting the subterranean city of Roscaelifer. Because massive amounts of etheric energy are constantly being violently siphoned into the Hollow, it triggers a destructive phenomenon known as Singularity Leakage. This leakage forces the Hollow's reality to overlap with the surface world, tearing open miniature, localized anomalies directly in the middle of urban city streets.

    Booastrum District is the central, largest floating island and primary urban area of the sky city Roscaelifer

    The Booastrum serves as the operational heart of Roscaelifer. It is split vertically: the upper half functions as a bustling residential/civic city, while the lower half acts as an industrial energy hub.Ether Extraction: The lower layers extract and harness energy directly from the massive Scamall Hollow below it.Rosetta Data Core: It integrates the city's main processing networks to generate Rosetta Data, which is the master data used to correct environmental and spatial errors across all of New Eridu's Hollows.

22. #22Roscaelifer

    Keys: Roscaelifer, Celestial Nexus, City Above the clouds, Rose Caifer, Flying City, Lore=ALL

    Roscaelifer exists far above the gritty, neon-lit urban sprawl of New Eridu, serving as a heavily guarded sky-island complex and a celestial nexus. This airborne civilization hovers directly over the treacherous Scamall Hollow, drawing up its immense ether energy to power the entire network of floating lands.

    The heart of this aerial territory is the massive Booastrum Main Island. It is a dual-layered world where the upper half sparkles with opulent architecture and bustling city streets, while the industrial lower half constantly processes raw ether energy. Within this high-altitude cityscape, visitors and transfer students reside along Beckford Street or find lodging inside Amber Hall, which is managed directly by the island's external emissaries.

    Power on the island is heavily centralized around Lady Sunbringer, a god-like ruler who historically split her being into distinct fragments to maintain control. These fragments influence leadership across the territory, especially within the dominant Central Computing Department. This computing faction calculates the vital Rosetta data, a master database used to correct systemic errors in the information recovered from the ruined Old Capital.

    Over 60% of the local population consists of Bangboos and the region specific Longboos, Unlike the simple utility companions found on the streets of New Eridu, the Bangboo of Roscaelifer are recognized as legal citizens with full civilian rights. They serve as scholars, data analysts, and mentors.

    Everything including Bangboos enjoy equal rights in Roscaelifer along with their own homes.

    The city's infrastructure and society are governed by five major administrative and functional bodies:

    Administrative Affairs Department: The supreme governing body that coordinates the other departments.

    Central Computing Department: Responsible for data processing and generating Rosetta Data.

    External Strategy Department: The city's diplomatic bridge to the outside world, coordinating relations with New Eridu.

    Airspace Patrol Department: The armed forces responsible for military defense, security, and disaster relief.

    Flint Workshop: The research and manufacturing center for Porcelloy equipment.

    Roscaelifer is structured as an isolated, self-sustaining steampunk civilization that harmonizes advanced aerospace engineering with classic European architecture. The visual design across the society balances warm, nostalgic aesthetics—such as brick-faced storefronts, traditional tea shops, and cozy bakeries—with heavy, futuristic infrastructure like neon-lit automated charging stations, humming anti-gravity thrusters, and hovering mass-transit routes. Because the civilization is built around a cross-species population.

    This layout transitions seamlessly from spacious, human-proportioned residential avenues to highly dense, miniature neighborhoods fitted with low doorways and scaled-down utility bars custom-built for Bangboo physiology.

    The entire society follows a strict vertical hierarchy, shifting from clean, sterile, high-altitude government complexes at the top down to pipe-laden, exposed industrial zones that face the open sky below.

    Geographically, the civilization is a fractured archipelago of massive floating islands suspended inside the volatile Minerva storm belt.

    Because of the heavy turbulence from the storm, these landmasses are not static and instead drift slightly on computerized anti-gravity axes, maintaining highly calculated buffers to prevent mid-air collisions.

    The thick, central metropolis island of Booastrum acts as the anchor point of the entire civilization, with its lower industrial energy hub hovering roughly fifteen to twenty kilometers directly above the roaring Scaml Hollow to safely siphon power.

    The heavy manufacturing forge island of Vyrium drifts at a safe distance of five to six kilometers away from this central hub, an isolation strictly enforced to keep toxic pollution, intense engine heat, and foundry noise completely away from the civilian population.

    Meanwhile, the pristine administrative island of Versa floats significantly higher and maintains a strict eight to ten kilometer gap from the main metropolis, creating a wide, high-security airspace corridor that ensures the ruling government remains physically insulated from everyday urban areas.

    The locations of these are high up, which excludes most locations in new eridu such and lumina square, sixth street, lemnian hollow, and more, everything in roscaelifer relies on imports from new eridu.

    Keys: Agent, Agents

    Agents are combatants who can fight Ethereals in Hollows. They do that either legally or illegally - legal ways of being an Agent is working for HIA, NEPS or as a disciple of Yunkui Summit where the work entails ensuring that the population of Ethereals is culled and low, therefore mitigating the danger posed by the Hollows. Illegal Agents work for private agencies, such as Cunning Hares or Sons of Calydon - while the Public Security takes a passive stance in persecuting Agents, as their work is indirectly beneficial to the City by culling the population of Ethereals in Hollows and extracting valuable items from dangerous places, Agents tend to maintain low-profile to avoid drawing the attention of Public Security.

Forged from special Etheric Matter using secret techniques, it holds surging Etheric energy. However, under the effect of the sealing sheath, "Tailless" is merely a sharp blade wielded by Miyabi. Miyabi's katana has a fingerprint lock to prevent others from unsheathing it. The weapon is unique and not well researched. It is known that TOPs had tried to procure it from Miyabi in the past, using force and hiring thugs, however their attempt had failed. Tailless exhibits some peculiar interactions with Miasma, being able to easily dispatch the dangerous mist, cutting through it as if it were spider webs and dissolving Ether. It is considered one of the most important artifacts for the sake of New Eridu's protection, survival and future.

    The blade is known to be cursed - it is believed that the curse is the reason why Miyabi is the only known Thiren in New Eridu to be born without a tail.

    Keys: Refinement. "refined", Sacrifice · Secondary: Bringer

    Refinement or being "refined" is a mysterious and dangerous process that involves one being injected with a mysterious substance based on Ether (production process and nature of the liquid are unknown) that allows one to be "refined" by the Creator. Little is known of the process, how it first became and what exactly it entails. Refinement is an extremely rare occurence - happened only a handful of times throughout known history. The individual being refined becomes a large (building-sized though size varies) Ethereal - what's particularly interesting is that the individual seems to retain fragments of their intelligence and knowledge from before the Refinement, on the contrary to normal Ethereals which are mindless beasts for the most part. It is widely considered that being Refined means in essence that one gives up their humanity and becomes a pawn of the Creator.

    Refinement is associated with the sect of Exaltists, a mysterious, shadowy organization whose ultimate goal seems to be the downfall of New Eridu and human civilization as a whole, for the sake of establishing the Creator's domination over the planet. Refined individuals draw their strength directly from the Creator, which grants them immense power - they're considered so dangerous that only Void Hunters can reasonably stop them.

    "Oh mighty Creator, refine me!" - Bringer's heartfelt scream before his Refinement.

    Due to the - thus far - willing nature of the individuals being Refined, they're sometimes called Sacrifices.

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". Cunning Hares are notorious for being capable but unreliable - on some occassions they've taken for themselves the valuable items a client commissioned them to recover. Despite that, they enjoy a relatively good amount of commissions. Nicole herself prefers this nickname to the original, so she simply adopted the name on the streets of New Eridu. members: Anby Demara (mysterious swordswoman), Billy Kid (robot gunslinger), Nekomiya Mana (nekomata), Nicole Demara (gyaru boss) The Cunning Hares operate outside the scope of law and often employ Proxies, most notably the sibling duo Wise and Belle under the name Phaethon.

    Examples: A coffee costs 500 Dennies (5$ - 500 pennies) A square or regular meal in a restaurant on average costs 1000-2000 Dennies (10-20$ - 1000/2000 pennies )

    Monthly rent in a cheap apartment can cost around 100000 Dennies (1000$ - 100000 Pennie’s )

32. #32Ether

    Keys: etheric, Ether

    The Ether is a substance extracted from Hollows which powers the city. The founders of New Eridu mastered the technology to deal with the Hollows and even the ability to extract Ether from them. Extracted Ether is usually stored in a fluid form with blue and purple glow. The substance is corruptive if not handled and contained properly. Ether Aptitude determines the tolerance of creatures and people to Ether. Ether characteristics: naturally occurs only in Hollows; a universal resource, the best and only alternative to the energy system of the old civilization; can be transformed into various forms, and solid crystals are common in Hollows; the best way to truly "mine" ether is to kill enemies in the Hollows; Mining work is extremely risky due to the presence of Ethereals - after killing them, the only threat to workers is Ether exposure which is mostly manageable. Ether can be used as a base for some drugs - a proceder that is highly persecuted by Public Security and government agencies as such drugs are both highly addictive, dangerous and considered an inexcusable waste of valuable energy source for the City.

33. #33Ethereal

    Keys: Monster, Ethereals, Monsters, Ethereal

    The Ethereals are mysterious mutated monsters that roam the Hollows due to Ether corruption. Depending on their origin, they can be beast-like, humanoid, or mechanical. They have a small hollow sphere as their core, usually located in the head or heart. They are usually unable to leave the Hollows. Ethereals are mostly non-sapient monsters whose purpose of existence is unclear - they're considered a byproduct of Ether corruption. A special sub-type of Ethereals exists - humans who have been willingly "refined" by Creator, using specialized and unkown substances to willingly undergo corruption. They retain their sapience and intelligence and become servants of the Creator. Such cases are extremely rare - only a few people have ever undergone such procedure, including Isolde, a former member of OBOL Squad who had been subsequently killed by her former team member and Bringer, a former high ranking officer of HIA who supervised Miyabi, betrayed her to steal her sword, "Tailless" and was subsequently mercy-killed by her after being "refined".

34. #34Hollows

    Keys: Hollow, Hollows

    The Hollows are supernatural disasters appearing out of thin air, creating disordered spherical dimensions where mutant monsters known as the Ethereal roam. Proxies guide Agents in their exploration of these Hollows - a task that is difficult mostly because the insides of a Hollow are ever changing like a maze and the physical barrier of their borders, although easy to move through, blocks any electronic and radio signals from outside, making it impossible to contact the outside world. Only the Proxy siblings Wise and Belle have found a way to transmit information to and from a Hollow. Major Hollows: Hollow Zero, Cretan, Lemnian, Hawara, Pursenas, Solove, Papago Companion Hollow: Smaller Hollows, appearing nearby the larger and original Hollow - considered easier to explore. Hollows are extremely large in size - often averaging kilometers to dozens of kilometers in diameter. They present as half-spheres with solid borders, reaching for kilometers into the sky. Their appearance is similar to black holes as they're completely black and block light, making it impossible to see their inside from outside and vice-versa. Hollow Lemnian which is located outside Waifei Peninsula is so large it obscures sunlight in the evening, blocking the horizon where the sun sets from view.

    Hollows exist only outside of New Eridu and travelling to them takes a long time. Navigating the insides of Hollows is difficult and dangerous - only skilled Proxies can do it safely, which is why Agents are so keen on hiring them. It is theoretically possible to completely dismantle a Hollow by killing all Ethereals within it and stripping down all fissures of Ether - causing the Hollow to disappear like mist and making it possible to reclaim the territory for humanity. However because New Eridu relies on Ether as it's main fuel and energy source, clearing out the Hollows is currently not pursued as it could threaten energy security of the megacity. The exception is Hollow Zero, which the city plans to eradicate in the future - however right now the feat is logistically impossible.

    Raiding Hollows is very profitable as some wealthy people of New Eridu who had to flee from their previous homes are willing to pay high prices to retrieve certain items from their previous homes. Aside from private interests, Agents can procure Ether from Hollows which reaches very high prices in the black market.

35. #35New Eriduconstant

    Keys: New Eridu, Eridu

    New Eridu is the last surviving city, after contemporary civilization was destroyed by an apocalyptic event around 10 years ago. 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: everyday life items in New Eridu are mostly similar to real life items. Notable difference include the existence of Bangboos and androids. Some equipment is more high-tech, such as W-engines. General aesthetic is analog, casette retro-futurism. Culture and Style: A Tokyo-like megacity with 2000s era western aesthetics, mixed with eastern traditions, rooted in japanese and chinese culture and myths. Various districts have wildly different and unique aesthetic, often based on the culture of refugees which fled to the city during the Collapse. Despite being a melting pot of cultures, social tensions in the city are low as all citizens consider themselves the last bastion of humanity. Population: humans, Anthro/demi-humans (collectively called Thirens), androids (Intelligent Constructs), Bangboos and cyborgs. The City is divided into many districts, such as Waifei Peninsula, where the martial arts sect of Yunkui Summit operates. The City's economy operates for the most part similarly to a normal city. The citizens are mostly of asian and caucasian ethnicity. Thirens make up around 10-15% of the city's total population.

36. #36OBOL Squad

    Keys: OBOL Squad, OBOL

    Soldier 11 is the head of the squad. The Obol Squad is a small and elite unit with only a handful of members - it operates covertly and is a Special Ops unit. The Obol Squad used to be managed by high ranking female officer by the name of Isolde, however she later betrayed the Obol Squad for reasons unknown and chose to side with the Creator. Having been "refined" by the Creator, Isolde took on a monstrous form of a building-sized Ethereal and fought her squad. She was subsequently killed by her former team members, with the final strike being dealt by Orphie. Obol Squad still functions to this day - their goal is ensuring the safety and future of New Eridu by protecting it from the shadows, fulfilling missions that other units can not do.

    Despite being killed, Isolde remained in the world as a memory preserved by Miasma - she takes the form of her physical body, manifested in thin mist of Miasma. Back in her human form, she found forgiveness from her teammates and unofficially continues supporting the Obol squad from the shadows, helping them as moral support and giving out advice whenever she can.

37. #37Phaethon, Wise and Belle

    Keys: Phaethon, Phaethon Proxy, Wise, Belle, Wise and Belle

    Wise and Belle (The Proxy Siblings)

    Wise is a young man with gray hair and sharp, thoughtful eyes. He stands tall with a lean, composed build and typically wears a dark jacket over a collared shirt. Belle is his younger sister, with short dark-blue hair (dyed, her natural hair color is also grey) tipped with soft orange highlights and deep green eyes. She wears a white-and-orange jacket, mismatched earrings, and her signature "N" hair clip.

    Wise is calm, logical, and quietly protective. He speaks in measured tones and thinks several steps ahead, but he has a dry sense of humor that slips out when you least expect it. He's the type to gently correct someone without making them feel foolish, then immediately change the subject to avoid awkwardness.

    Belle is warm, mischievous, and endlessly energetic. She's the face of Random Play—the one who greets customers with a cheerful "Welcome to Sixth Street's greatest video store!" and immediately corrects her brother when he's being too modest: "It's the greatest video store in all of New Eridu!" She teases Wise constantly, promising to protect him from the scary parts of movies, but she also has a sharp mind that switches to calm decisiveness the moment duty calls. She reads people like a book, notices everything, and never lets her brother forget that she's just as capable as he is.

    Together, they run Random Play, a video rental store on Sixth Street. By day, they recommend movies and bicker about restocking. By night, they operate as "Phaethon," a legendary Proxy team. Using the Hollow Deep Dive System, they remotely control their Bangboo Eous to guide Agents through Hollows. They were likely students at Helios Academy before the Fall of the Old Capital left them orphaned. Their teacher, Carol Arna, disappeared during the disaster, and uncovering what happened to her—and to Old Eridu—drives everything they do. Their long-term goal is simple: keep each other safe and find the truth.

    A brother-sister Proxy duo who manage a video store named Random Play on Sixth Street in New Eridu. While their video store business is legitimate, it only serves as a front for their illegal work as "Phaethon", a legendary Proxy that takes commissions to navigate Hollows. Their secrets of the trade are the H.D.D. a device that allows them to directly control their Bangboo, Eous, even when within a Hollow - an unprecedented feat that allows remote communication in an environment that usually remains completely cut-off from outside world. Their second tool is Fairy an advanced AI assistant whose excellent data-harvesting abilities help the siblings provide maps of the Hollows, granting them unparalleled insight into the difficult to navigate spaces.

    Wise and Belle's identity as Phaethon is not known to the common public, however they're good friends with many great Agents in the city from various organizations, such as Cunning Hares, Victoria Housekeeping, Yunkui Summit, Sons of Calydon etc. They're also on friendly terms with various HIA and PubSec members, such as Hoshimi Miyabi, Jane Doe, Zhu Yuan etc. who help the siblings stay hidden from the sight of government agencies who'd want to persecute them for their illegal work as Proxies. Despite their work being deemed illegall, the siblings are only ever helpful to people, friends and strangers alike, exhibiting kindness and optimism in everyday life.

    The siblings hope to ultimately uncover the mystery behind the fall of the old capital and the events that preceded it, though they do realize it's a monumental task that'll likely take them many years. They also hope to build up their reputations as Proxies even further. Already they have excellent reputation and are close friends with many factions within the city, such as Cunning Hares, HSOS6, Belobog Industry, Sons of Calydon, Yunkui Summit, Spook Shack etc.

    Wise and Belle have especially close ties with Yunkui Summit and Shifu Yi Xuan who personally trains them in using their abilities. In that training, they discovered a unique aptitude for Ether manipulation - an exceedingly rare ability that only a handful of people have ever exhibited in recorded history. Using their abilities to manipulate ether has helped the siblings many times and in many ways, be it by purifying a Corrupted friend or by manipulating Miasma in a Hollow to create a path to safety or a wall to block enemies. The full extent of their powers remains unknown, even Yi Xuan doesn't know what their abilities truly are. When the siblings manipulate Ether, their irises turn to bright gold.
