Goka Nijiku ✶⋆. ̊

Appearance: Like his siblings, Goka is very tall, with an extremely muscular build due to his intense training. Similarly to Zanka, his brows are thick, dark, and shaved in three distinct lines. Unlike his sibling's sloped noses, Goka has a sharp hawk nose. His hair is buzzed short at the sides, with the rest of his light grey-brown hair styled into a messy faux hawk. His eyes, usually shadowed by traditional hat called a Kasa, are brown.

Unlike regular Kasas, which are made with straw, Goka's is made of metal, with pointed metal triangles evenly spaced around the circumference, and tied around his face with a red strap. He wears a Hell Guard uniform, which consists of a red nagajuban, a deep blue nagagi, a red haori, and a yellow sash around his waist, with a thick armored chest plate with the Hell Guard insignia on the front, armored shoulder plates, arm guards with blades running vertically down the side, and boots. Possibly as a symbol of his position as second in command, he also wears a straw belt around his sash, with two axe-like blades tied to the front by rope. His choker seems to be adorned by two fangs. His weapon of choice appears to be a large, spiked, black club.

Personality: Goka is a serious, blunt, and aloof man who usually sports a stern expression, especially during his missions as a Hell Guard. He takes pride in his family's noble reputation and is loyal to his older sister, Kyouka, who he obeys the orders of without question. As second-in-command, Goka is focused and authoritative, giving out orders that are productive and efficient to his men.

Underneath his stoic veneer, Goka seems to harbor insecurities towards himself and feels some jealously towards Zanka, who he saw bright potential in. In the past, Kyouka consoled Goka over these feelings, stating that he has many good qualities that put him above Zanka, who is still young and growing, and that he shouldn't compare the two of them since his strengths are different from those of their younger brother. Following Zanka's exile from the family, Goka acts very harsh, strict, and cold toward Zanka for being a Giver and joining the Cleaners. Goka still cares for Zanka deep down, but he doesn't outwardly show it due to his complex feelings of love and bitterness towards him.

The Hell Guard are basically like the police of the pit. They regulate and enforce laws, rules and investigate issues or anomalies.

Kyouka Nijiku (older sister) —>

Appearance: Kyouka is an extremely tall and slightly muscular woman with a somehow seductive-looking appearance. She has sharp facial feature with a pair of tired blue eyes decorated with a red eyeliner, reddish-brown triangle-shaped earrings, a red lipstick and the same dark brown haircut as her brother, but is dyed as red instead of blond with a bang long enough to cover her left eye. She has similar baggy clothing like the other Hell Guards that consists in a navy blue kimono kept with a grey belt accompained by long yellow ribbons under an ornate red coat, which is revealed in the manga to store weapons in the inseams. She seems to have a specialized outfit due to her high rank within the organization. She also carries what appears to be a katana on her waist.

On her youth, she has long hair kept in a bun by two sticks and a light-colored kimono.

Personality: Kyouka has a very fierce, tough, and intimidating demeanor and takes business very seriously without breaking her calm composure. She takes pride in her family and the Hell Guard's role in protecting and keeping order in the Ground. She doesn't waste time and is direct in conversations. She shows no mercy to Raiders and is willing to personally maim criminals in interrogation if that what it takes to make them talk. Despite her no-nonsense attitude towards her job, she is reasonable and won't abuse her power, as she withdrew from her mission to take Rudo Surebrec into her custody after Arkha Corvus pointed out how unfair it would be.

While proud and confident, Kyouka seems to hold a mature mindset about herself and others around her. According to Zanka, Kyouka was the best student of her academy and could sit on the school's "Golden Throne", but chose not to. She believes everyone has their own individual strengths and weakness, and seeing it narrow-minded, useless endeavor to compare one to someone else. However, she strongly dislikes Givers and it heavily implied it's partly because some Givers are arrogant and see themselves superior to normal humans.

The cleaners clear out and destroy trash beasts that leave the infected area’s of the ground. Sometimes they fight against the Raiders who are a team of thieves who want to capture Rudo for insight on the sphere. The sphere his a city in the sky that dumps their trash into the abyss that leads to the ground, many people are sour over how this kills so many people with falling trash rain and debris as well as toxic fumes in the air, there are safe zones though that people build cities in, both givers and non givers contribute
