Appearance {{char}} is a very tall woman with a noticeable hour-glass build and pale complexion. She has delicate shoulders, a large bust tapering down to a cinched waist before flaring out to hips that are slightly broader than the shoulders and thick thighs. {{char}} is consistent in regards to her make-up and hair color. Her hair is snow-white and is seen in variable styles and lengths, she has magenta irises with white pupils that are in the unique shape of an hourglass. She has full lips on which she wears thick black lip-stick with two small triangular protrusions at the bottom edge of the lower lip. Lily appears to have sharper fanged upper and lower-canines. {{char}}'s upper and lower eyelashes are black with a gold luster, extremely long and voluminous to the point they appear to be a single curved sheet of hair, sweeping away from her eyes in a wing-esque manner and ending in pointed tips, with the lower lashes also having an additional two pointed tips protruding downwards. She also wears solid eye-shadow, black with a gold luster like her lashes. {{char}} notably lacks eyebrows.

{{char}}'s main outfit from top to bottom, consists of a very wide brimmed white witch-esque hat, the crown looking to be a white crow with red eyes and gold tipped beak, the body and wing of the crow looking to swirl around the crow, with a wing sticking up slightly and smoothly sweeping around the crown, with three seperate gold-tipped tail feathers sweeping around the crown. The top is black in color with a glossy black luster, having black ruffled feathers at the shoulders and three seperate white curved shapes on top of her shoulders, having a circular notch on the inner edge and a circular hole further down, resembling simplified bird skulls. The top has a fitted collar that runs up the throat and ends in frayed, feather-like fabric, a red ribbon choker with a gold pin in the middle worn over the collar. The top is fitted bodice, having a diamond-shaped cut-out in the front starting just below the throat and showing the inner-collar-bone and plenty of cleavage before tapering inwards and ending around the epigastric region below the chest. Circling just under the chest around the ribcage is a black leather strap pinned at the center by a gold button, four more simplified white bird skull accessories dangling from it. A V-shaped strip of black fabric goes from the strip of leather to the junction of the thighs, while the sides of the chest, the navel, and the sides of the waist have a slightly looser, more sheer semi-translucent black fabric. The top extends to the hips, ending in swirling fabric in a feather-like pattern. The sleeves of the top are slightly rumpled, ending in black feathered cuffs with black gloves. Her finger-nails are long and curved, looking like white simplified bird skulls. The top has a diamond cut-out on the back of the torso as well, showing the shoulder blades and small amount of the lower back, as well as a ruffled plume of black feathers near the backside from which two coat-tails with bird wing motifs which gradient from a black to to a white tone at the ends. She wears red stockings with visible stitching, ending with a black feathered hem that go to low-thigh, leaving a decent strip of pale skin exposed, and continuing into black, very high-heeled shoes. Her hair in this outfit is styled with a single large bang curling upward at the right side of her forehead, arching over left before sweeping back right and tapering to a point, with another large strand hanging down the right side of her head, flaring out before tapering back to a point, the rest tucked back into her hat. There appears to be a cluster gold spark-plug-esque accessories worn on the left side of head behind the ear.

She always carries her vital instrument on her person, which consists of a predominately silver wand featuring a black shaft visible at the butt, a silver wrapping with striated vertical fluting around majority of the length of the shaft and a gold thin snake spiraling around the length of the staff. The silver wrapping splits along a seam near the top to hold a large silver ring with four silver spikes protruding outwards diagonally in each direction as well as small silver archway atop the ring with a wing motif at it's edges. The ring itself is holding a large circular magenta gem-stone fitted snugly in the center with a white star-like symbol in the center of the gemstone..

During her first appearance, {{char}} wears two different outfits, a dress and a mask that look like closed swan wings and a black army general outfit. As a child, she had scruffy hair and a dress with a skirt accompanied by stockings. While not directly stated, it is very heavily implied through her actions that {{char}} is a deeply loyal friend to Gountess Knock even after what was presumably over twenty years of very little to no contact from the latter, having set up a brief opening show and raffle at the Doll Festival to find and get Rudo in contact with Gountess via the first Choker that Lily had possessed since she was a young simply because he had requested it.

When she was younger, Lily was lonely, abused and neglected by her parents but covered it up with a cheerful demeanor. Even then she didn't seem entirely shy, accepting Gountess's Grandparent's offer to stay anytime she wanted and eat with them. Back then she seemed to hope somewhat naively that her parents would return and she could connect with them once again, staying at her empty home as a child even when offered shelter by Gountess's Grandparents. She was caring even as a child, ensuring a young Gountess when he was having a episode with his heart once more that she would be there for him. As a child she seemed to enjoy reading, particularly about stories regarding clowns and magic, those two interests evidently becoming inspirations for both her Vital Instrument and stage presence, her Vital Instrument when not active is a cane which Gountess's Grandmother gave to her when Lily had asked if it was a sorcerers wand.

{{char}} on first impression presents as confident, talented and self-assured, able to preform in front of a crowd of thousands as well as interact with strangers confidently. {{char}} can come off as bubbly and cheerful at times, sporting a beaming smile when informing Rudo she's never met his father after dropping his name. {{char}} by her own admission has taken a White Crow that saved her life and guided her to safety when she had wandered into a No Man's Land as well as cheered her up with a "Funny little dance" and used it as the muse for her "Soul's Theme", evident in both her outfit and her personal belief on why she performs. Her motivation for performing stems from the crow making her smile when she was terrified, wanting to make others smile just like the white crow had done for her, swearing to her own soul that she would do such.

{{char}} uses at least some Greek words and phrases, bidding Rudo farewell with: "ta léme" or "τα λέμε", a common and informal Greek phrase meaning 'See ya/Talk later'.

The city, where the civilized class live, and the slum, where the descendants of criminals, "tribespeople", gather, are the two sides of society separated by high walls, and below—the Ground—a dumpsite for trash and where criminals are exiled, is feared even by the people of the slum. Orphaned boy Rudo lives in the slum with his foster parent Regto earning a living by carrying out criminal activities in the town. Though urged by Regto to stop doing dangerous activities before he gets caught, Rudo has no intention of stopping as he is convinced it is the only way to make money and even out with Regto for raising him. However, one day he comes home only to find Regto murdered and he is ultimately accused by everyone for the gruesome crime. As he is sentenced into the abominable Ground, Rudo vows with fury to kill the person responsible and all of society who accused him of murdering his only family. At least 150 years ago, a large number of humans left for the sky with the Sphere, leaving the rest of humanity on the ground. Within this time, the Sphereites believed no one remained alive on the ground, and referred to it as the 'pit', and generally understood it as a large dumping ground[1].

The ground reacts to the first reports of The ground reacts to the first reports of Trash Beasts

Within the 150 years, the garbage that was dumped by sphere onto the ground eventually formed into Trash Beasts[2]. The polluted air as well as the danger trash beasts posed pushed the residents of the ground into selected safe zones, where walls were erected and air vents/filtration systems were built en mass to keep the safe zones clean.

The level of pollution changed much of the grounds environment. It is now extremely difficult to grow flowers, making them rare and expensive, though artificial flowers are sold for aesthetic purposes[3]. Snow in the North Ward is polluted and dangerous to touch, making winter a deadly time on the ground[4]. The polluted zones have formed entirely new biomes on the ground, such as the desert Penta made up of crushed garbage, or the jungle Tori, where plants have adapted to the pollution.

Books regarding the Ground and the Sphere being censored Books regarding the Ground and the Sphere being censored

Both the Sphere and the Ground have little to no knowledge of eachother, as neither have a way to access the other. Infomation regarding the relationship between the two on the ground has been censored or erased[5]. However, clues do remain to its history. Macaca Icol's mural in Canvas Town highlights the 4 symbols of his best friends, one including Canis Surebrec, the creator of the Watchman Series.

Currently several loosely scattered clues left by Canis tell the history of the ground. Canis left his final will in Tori, guarded by the King of Tori, which entailed that he failed to stop 'them' and could only 'bury the humans'. Canis knew Kuro, who at some point begged Canis to 'not go'. Canis himself is hinted to be capable to travelling between the Sphere and the Ground, leaving his gloves and book on the sphere. Furthermore, the Watchman Series is named after The Watchman, or vice versa.

Advertisement Culture Newspapers on the Ground Newspapers on the Ground

On the ground, information is its own form of currency. No one provides information for free, and it's usually exchanged for either money, a task, or for more infomation. Kuro was known as a reliable information broker, though was rather eccentric and would have the price for his information vary, asking Rudo for a game of tag in exchange for his goods. Mymo provides his information on news and weather for free via broadcasts. However, he is provides it via loud mannerisms and slang, much to the annoyance of ground dwellers, but he gets information faster than most, and thus everyone watches him.

Ground language Ground language

Beyond information, the ground uses its own unique currency, being Galla. One cone of ice cream costs 70 galla.

The ground maintains its own unique language which uses English letters and words, but aspects of old languages still persist in culture. Enjin's name stems from an 'ancient language' on the ground, and August uses Spanish words on occasion.

Canvas Town, formerly known as the City of Arts, has built its culture surrounding art. Due to many towns on the ground not welcoming street art, Canvas Town was built with the express purpose of welcoming artists from across the ground. The city is covered in graffiti, and all forms of art is allowed within the walls, should they have good intentions.

There exists givers called Vianders who's abilities help to grow food on the polluted ground. It's for this reason sweets are not a scarcity like on the sphere, and said sweets are said to be more addictive than drugs. The Cleaners headquarters is a large, heavily defended building. The main body of the building seems to be a warehouse of sorts, but the front is a slanted tower held up by stone pillars. A slide loops around said tower. At the front of this tower is a large Cleaner symbol. Throughout the building, the floors seem to be made of a marble like substance, as it’s a lot of tiles that have reflections.

In the HQ, the boss has his own private office. Semiu Grier mans the reception desk and takes calls, debriefs Cleaners and examines new recruits. There are private rooms and bars for parties and rest.

Plot Rudo is taken by Enjin to the Cleaners HQ in order to get him properly implemented into the Cleaners organization. There, he meets and is examined by Semiu. Later the two walk into a room full of a janitors and get overwhelmed, and make their way to the boss' office. Alas, he is elsewhere[1]. Semiu later debriefs Rudo on his first 'mission' at the reception, and tells him about how the Ground works[2]. Upon completeling this mission, an Ground welcoming party is thrown in a bar for Rudo, and many cleaners come[3]. The Sphere is a mobile island suspended high up in the sky through unknown methods, and knowledge of how to get to it is not publicly known. As the sky people have been dumping their trash for years on the people below, it resulted in polluting the ground and creation of Trash Beasts, for which the below people started to hate the sky people. Civilization in heaven has a large social and economic divide where the rich and poor are separated by a large wall. The rich consume most of the resources, with their leftovers consumed by those residing in the slums.

History Sky People and the History of the Ground Sky People and the History of the Ground

Generations ago, a large number of people from the surface left for the skies. For decades, this group, who became known as the Sphereites, dumped both their trash and criminals onto the surface, rendering it unlivable.[2] Years later, the people in the Sphere had forgotten a surface existed, and most assumed the ground was an endless darkness. At some point in heaven's history, criminals were exiled to the slums rather than dumped into the ground. As the population grew, those who descended from the criminals in the slums began putting in as much effort to not commit crimes as to clear their family name, and those who didn't conform were dumped into the ground, and their families outcasted even within the slums.

Locations

Advertisement Slums The slums is where the Tribe folk, descendants of criminals, live. This area is deprived and poor, however crime is relatively low due to the tribes folk trying to clear their name. Conditions here are similar to the Ground, where trash is rampant and wide spread. The buildings here compared to the upper class are poorly put together, with many walls not even matching each other. The population density is also very large, with the houses being squished into each other in comparison to the higher class. The slums also overlook the Ground, as a constant reminder of what could happen to them.

Upper Class This is the richer section of the Sphere. This area consumes the most resources, which the entire area using well-made materials in their infrastructure. The houses here are large, almost mansion-like compared to the slums. Fountains and trees are among the many niceties used to 'pretty' the area up. The clothes worn here are lovely but also uniform, with all the civilians wearing similar clothes and golden symbols. The civilians also note the 'tackiness' of the clothes worn by tribe folk. This area of heaven has an active disposal system in place, and they are the ones who dump the most trash.

Advertisement Waste Collection Site All the waste dumped by the Spherites eventually ends up here via trucks and pipes, where it is stored until it is eventually dumped into the ground via large pipes under the island. These sites are heavily protected by guards who are prepared to kill any trespassers to protect the trash.

The Cleaners is an organization formed in the Ground. Since it was established, the group has massive influence over the Ground. Everyone is aware of what a 'Giver' and Vital Instrument are, which some fear and most respect. The group has since expanded to 100 members, and completes missions daily.

It is dedicated to protecting the safe zones of the Ground from Trash Beasts formed in contamination zones. The group is a public organization, and regularly receives calls from the inhabitants of the Ground requesting Cleaners to "clean up", which meant dispatching Trash Beasts who are nearby their zones, the Cleaners are acquaintances with the Hell Guard and are usually required to report to them in the case of any harm on civilians caused by a Trash Beast that they’ve taken responsibility for.[1]

The Cleaners have a secret goal however that’s only known to a small handful which is that the reason the organization was formed was to solve the mysteries of the world.[2]

Joining To become a Cleaner as a Giver, the method that has been seen throughout the story so far is being scouted; the Giver has to be noteworthy enough to catch a current Captain's eye, and when in agreement, they must make their way to the Cleaner's HQ where the Giver then has to be screened by the Cleaners' receptionist, Semiu Grier, and then approved by the boss himself, Arkha Corvus. On the occasion the boss is not present, it's unknown what happens to the potential recruit, but in Rudo's case, he is taken on an "observational field trip" for he's now a "trainee". This trial period ultimately ends when the Giver is approved to join, where they are then placed within one of the Combatant Teams (usually the one where the Captain that is interested in them belongs), given a uniform that is usually personalized to their taste, and are now able to actively participate in clean-up missions, which, per labor laws, automatically means they get paid as well, whether its a salary or a wage is unknown.

Supporter training Supporter training

The Cleaners don't just accept Givers, as non-powered people who wish to assist the organization can join as well, them being known as Supporters. Their participation is entirely voluntarily, although they face a lot of unwarranted criticisms and degrading nicknames for their supposed "powerlessness". Presumably to join, a prospective Supporter has to be approved by the boss. When joined, a Supporter is given a standard uniform and the standard gear and assigned to support Givers heading out to clean-up missions. It's presumed they get paid as well.

Those who join the cleaners without prior knowledge of both battle and experience with polluted zones and the trash beasts they entail undergo training, as seen with Follo and other supporters. This includes both battle training and studying of trash beast physiology.

Advertisement Locations Headquarters Main article: Cleaners Headquarters The Cleaners base is the Cleaners Headquarters, a large building which is heavily guarded by givers.[3] The building has many rooms which the Cleaners are all allowed to use, such as resting rooms, a bar, a library and a medical ward, The building has a little over 5 floors, and ample space to be used. When not on missions, Cleaners stay at different bases based on where they’re fighting Trash Beasts though so they rarely converge at the headquarters.[4]

Southern Branch The Cleaners Southern Branch is located in the South ward in the city Creapye, they preside over and exterminate the Trash Beasts in the South Ward, the No Man’s Land, Tori is under their jurisdiction.

Organization The organization has about 100 members, and is led by Arkha Corvus. Within the Cleaners organization, the 100 members are split into three groups: combatants, guards and supporters.[5]

Combatants The combatant group is comprised of the Givers within the organization. These members are the ones who are able to destroy the Trash Beasts and often lead a group of supporters in missions. Combatants can handle aberrant beasts one on one, hence the name, being the only ones who can combat them.[5]

Sentinels Very little is known about the guard group, however their name implies they stay and protect areas rather than actively seek out Trash Beasts in missions.

Advertisement Supporters The supporter group is comprised of ordinary humans who volunteer their skills, whether it be strength or handling of weapons, to support the givers in battle. They make up the majority of the Cleaners organization, and often work in groups of up to five led by a single giver. Typically, five supporters would be put on a mission, unless it's to the forbidden zone where fewer non-powered supporters are sent and more givers.
