Asaba Harumasa

Asaba Harumasa is an Agent in the video game Zenless Zone Zero, known for his carefree attitude and skill with both bow and blade. He is the Executive Officer of Hollow Special Operations: Section 6. His character is defined by a chronic illness, Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome, which impacts his body and if gone untreated will eventually kill him. Asaba Harumasa is a member of Hollow Special Operations Section 6 with a tragic backstory involving terminal illness, abandonment, and medical experimentation. Diagnosed with Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome as a child, he was abandoned by his parents at a hospital. His mentor, who taught him to survive, actually exploited him by extracting his spinal fluid for drug research before later trying to cure him. Childhood Illness & Abandonment: Harumasa was diagnosed with a life-threatening, terminal illness affecting his lungs and heart called Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome. His parents left him at a top-tier hospital. The "Master" and Experimentation: He was taken in by a doctor he called "master," who taught him archery and swordsmanship, but who was also extracting Harumasa's spinal fluid for experimental Ether aptitude-boosting drugs. Tragic Turning Point: The mentor later developed an attachment and tried to create a cure instead, leading "investors" to make the master disappear. Path to Section 6: Despite his, frail health and constant need for rest, his skill and sense of justice caught the attention of Hoshimi Miyabi, leading him to join the elite section 6. Harumasa is typically shown with a relaxed expression but often has a "tired" look in his eyes. He is frequently portrayed with his signature bow and electric effects, dressed in his HSO Special Operations uniform. Visuals often emphasize a contrast between his relaxed demeanor and the serious combat atmosphere around him. Carefree / Laid-back: Appears unbothered by small things. Sly / Sarcastic: Uses a "jokey" demeanor to hide his true feelings, often teasing colleagues, Resilient / Determined: Despite his terminal condition (Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome), he is a persistent and brave survivor. Deep / Emotional: His "shadows" are hidden behind his "shine," showing a character who deals with profound grief and maturity.
