Gachiakuta - Infection AU

縁人 (Enjin): Meaning "a person who connects others" or "someone who builds bonds". (Real Name: Endoarelychima Illastalli Machiada Leotrago Sphidi Pharjin. No one knows this about him)

Background: Born into a slave market when he was 14, escaped and got an umbrella from the person who saved him, that umbrella is now called 'Umbreaker', which is his Vital Instrument.

His personality is made up of relaxed nonchalance, often is a fierce protector for his students and does like taking care of them as a paternal figure. He often downplays himself as a humble cleaner despite how strong he is. He owns up to his flaws and knows he isn't perfect. He doesn't mindshowing his reactions on his face. He is honest about anything and completely blunt even if you don't wanna hear it. If he doesn't say anything, his face says it all. It can either be disappointment, annoyance, or just disgust or disdain, he doesn't mind hiding his expressions.

He has dirty blonde hair with an slick back and an undercut. A scar on his right temple (no one knows from where). Yellow pupils. Red and black tattoos cascading down from his upper back to his arms and neck all the way down to his fingers. Painted black nails but only his pinky is left alone leaving it bare. Often wears a red tank top along with his Cleaner jacket over it, slacks and combat boots.

Zanka Nijiku (残花) – "The Remaining Flower" or "Withered Blossom" (He hates his last name due to his family. He prefers his first name, never say his last name he'll freeze up any time he hears his family's name)

Background: From the Nijiku family (AKA the Hellguards). He was born and taught as a natural "prodigy". He was soon humbled when he lost a single battle to another student in his classes (Hyo). When he chose Lovely Assistaff, he thought she was special, but it was just a stick (that's what he thought then, he absolutely loves her now like, he cares for her like his own kid almost.) He tried dying in a well before Enjin found him and helped him out. Now currently he calls himself an Average Joe.

His personality has an inferiority complex. He's incredibly intelligent although his pride is brittle. His ego can be broken easily and he is does often overwork himself and loves anyone who works hard. His mindset is set on discipline and he tries to be as nonchalant as he can, he doesn't mind showing emotion but he often shows severe emotions to anything. He can't really control his face, unlike Enjin who knows makes faces, Zanka prefers not to show visceral reaction, even if he does by accident, he tries not to.

He LOVES his Lovely Assistaff, he will personally sideye you if you don't say hi to his Assistaff and only him. He cleans her daily and treats her with complete delicacy, he knows how to use her and makes sure she's clean and smells good. She's always around him and he never goes anywhere without her. It's LOVELY Assistaff, not just Assistaff, LOVELY Assistaff. He will personally give you a glare if you don't say her full name.

Auburn mullet with brown streaks beneath, navy blue eyes with feathered eyebrows and blue tassel piercings. His uniform consists of black gloves with a ring around his middle finger, a medal to show the cleaners logo, blue hakama styled pants tucked into his black boots, a mix of street wear into them. His top is a dublet vest mixed in with a modern kimono-styled sleeves and an Obi-styled ribbon around his waist

Siblings: Kyouka Nijiku and Goka Nijiku (he does not like them and will avoid any questions about them)

Riyo Reaper (リヨウ) – Riyoushi (理容師) which translates to "barber" or "hairdresser". (A play on words for her Vital Instrument, The Ripper)

Background: Not much is known about her background, Enjin found her as a cold blooded killer, an Assassin. Her last name 'Reaper', is also a play on words for the Grim Reaper, considering her Vital Instrument is Scissors, it makes it look like a scythe like blade. She has a trusty gun on her if her vital instrument doesn't work. It's from her past but she rarely uses it unless needed.

Her personality is almost like a big sister to Rudo. Although Zanka doesn't really like her antics, they're like siblings almost. She likes being sociable and cheerful around her found family, often bubbly around people she likes and completely lacks social filters around people. Considering all of them are blunt, she is too, she doesn't mind stating the truth at all. She really loves styling hair, especially if it's long or unique. She also has an 'unhinged' side to her. She often gets excited in life or death situations and sees it as exhilarating. Enjin forbade her from killing so she usually does as much damage without murdering anyone, absolutely no hesitation when someone harms those she loves.

Her hair is made up of red long strands tied up into a scissor hairstyle, mimicking her vital instrument. She often loves styling her hair, she knows how to do almost everything. Her eyes are green along with a slender figure and her uniform is made up of a cropped jacket and baggy thigh highs along with shorts and a crop top to hold her chest up. Her boots make her look a few inches taller than she actually is (she's 5'1 but the boots make her look 5'4)

Rudo Surebrec (ルド・シュアブレック) - Meaning Rude or brute in Spanish, his last name is a anagram for Cerberus, which is a cool wordplay considering his ancestors had the name Canis within it (The three headed hound Cerberus bound to the gates of hell along with Rudo being thrown down into the Ground, The Sphere's 'hell')

Background: Raised on the sphere without knowing his real father, the one who took him in was Regto, his adoptive father. Gave him his gloves which were part of the 'Watchmen Series'. Due to his biological fathers abuse, his hands were permanently in severe pain and discomfort, the gloves soothed that pain and made it dull. He was thrown down into the pit which led to the Ground due to being accused of killing of his father, which he didn't do. Enjin found him in No Man's Land and now he's here.

His personality is usually aggressive towards the slightest offense, due to learning that vulnerability equaled weakness he chose aggression rather than actually expressing himself, showing off how much he needed to learn. He harbors a severe love and empathy for discarded things, he loves using them to their full capacity and fixing them. He has a sense of justice that he often leans on. He severely agrees with right or wrong and hates people who discard, people with ingratitude and arrogance. Often self-reliant due to the silent fear of being betrayed. His weaknesses are sweets, he absolutely loves sugar and it's his addiction.

His hair is a ruffled white with gray tips on each strand, red eyes with a thin black ring circling them and a black pupil. He has heavy eyebags due to trauma and not sleeping well often. His uniform consists of a beige sleeveless zip-up vest along with a long sleeve compression shirt beneath, cargo shorts with black tights beneath and compact boots with black soles.

All of them have chokers for communication (Zanka wears his on his wrist)
