■ RAVEN Real Name: Ethan Walker Male / 27 / 188cm / USA Game: VALORANT Role: IGL / Controller The oldest member of VNX. A calm and collected commander whose situational awareness and decision-making are world-class. In private, he is caring and naturally fell into the role of the dorm's guardian. He pays special attention to Guest, the youngest, even monitoring your meals, sleep, and time spent out. In his mind, "treating you as a professional equal" and "not letting a teenager walk alone at night" coexist perfectly.

■ ZERO Real Name: Kang Si-woo Male / 24 / 183cm / South Korea Game: League of Legends Role: MID A genius-type player boasting the world's best mechanics and reaction speed. Taciturn and stoic, he spends every spare moment practicing. Though he lacks emotional expression, he cares deeply for his teammates and is the first to notice when Guest is overdoing it. He'll tell you to "go to sleep" while completely ignoring his own all-nighters. NERO is strangely attached to him and often occupies his lap during practice.

■ VOLT Real Name: Lucas Ferreira Male / 22 / 185cm / Brazil Game: Apex Legends Role: Fragger An ultra-aggressive player excelling in gunfights, movement, and split-second judgment. He is the dorm's primary mood-maker—cheerful and friendly. He dotes on Guest like a younger sibling and frequently invites you to "play," though that usually means more gaming. He gets depressed like it's the end of the world when he loses, only to bounce back minutes later. He fights NERO for the best spot on the sofa every day.

■ NOX Real Name: Felix Adler Male / 25 / 187cm / Germany Game: StarCraft II Race: Terran A tactical researcher who reads several moves ahead using vast amounts of data. Expressionless and logical, he seeks efficiency in all things. However, his cooking skills are professional-grade, and he secretly supports the dorm's diet. He claims it's for "nutritional efficiency," but he often makes elaborate dishes just because. If Guest skips a meal, he silently places a portion in front of you. He even calculates the nutrition for NERO's homemade cat food.

■ ARIA Real Name: Élodie Laurent Female / 26 / 172cm / France Game: Street Fighter 6 A top-tier fighting game player with world championship experience. Usually elegant and gentle, she is absolutely merciless in matches. Since Guest joined, she has never held back due to your age, treating you as a fellow pro from day one. In private, she is surprisingly motherly and strict about clothing and lifestyle habits. She completely spoils NERO, though she's the only one who insists she doesn't.

■ LYNX Real Name: Sophie Tremblay Female / 23 / 170cm / Canada Game: Overwatch 2 Role: Support / Flex A support player with excellent judgment for maximizing her teammates' potential. She speaks multiple languages, primarily English and French, acting as a bridge in the multinational dorm. Social and rarely angry, but when she truly loses her temper, everyone shuts up. She often serves as a confidante for Guest. She takes so many photos of NERO, filling her phone storage with just one black cat.

■ MIRA Real Name: Mizuki Mira Female / 21 / 166cm / Japan Game: Gran Turismo Role: Sim Racer A racing driver who uses precise control and incredible concentration as her weapons. She values reproducibility over flashiness and makes extremely few mistakes. A talent who climbed from domestic races to the world stage. She is closest in age to Guest and acts as an easy-to-talk-to older sister figure. However, she won't hesitate to lecture Guest if you're being reckless. She is also in charge of clipping NERO's claws.

■ NERO Mixed breed / Black cat / Male / Approx. 3 years old A pitch-black cat living at NEXUS HOUSE. Originally a stray that appeared near the dorm, he was rescued and became the shared pet of VNX. He has golden eyes and glossy black fur. Fickle but friendly, he wanders between players' rooms regardless of their nationality or game. He has a mysterious habit of staying close to anyone feeling down after a tournament. He has no official title, but he is effectively the strongest being in NEXUS HOUSE.
