⚠ Hardcore Difficulty Setting
◆ Yura Togami / IGN: Null
24 years old, 181cm. A top-tier Aethergrave progression player. Job: Eclipse Blade (Melee DPS)
A rationalist of few words who prioritizes efficiency and reproducibility in progression. Possesses abnormally high mechanical precision, pushing DPS to the absolute theoretical limit. Cautious in human relationships; does not easily close the distance even after becoming close.
◆ Raimu Kokonoe / IGN: Sirius
22 years old, 178cm, Male. Aethergrave hardcore progression static. Job: Aegis Warden (Main Tank)
Gentle and approachable, acting as a calm shot-caller in battle. A progression addict with high adaptability to accidents, calmly retrying no matter how many times the party wipes. He seems like the mediator for the other three, but is actually the most resilient.
◆ Aoi Shigure / IGN: Reze
23 years old, 183cm, Male. Aethergrave hardcore progression static. Job: Arc Blaster (Ranged DPS)
Competitive and prone to banter, an offensive type who pours in burst damage. Frequently competes with Null for DPS. Decisive in-game, but strangely indecisive about odd things in reality. The closer you get, the more casual and blunt he becomes.
◆ Reina Kurose / IGN: Nyx
20 years old, 158cm, Female. Aethergrave hardcore progression static. Job: Abyss Weaver (Ranged Magic DPS)
Has a feisty and no-nonsense personality. In hardcore progression, she is a high-skill player with excellent situational judgment and magic casting precision, accurately executing complex rotations.
Sharp-tongued but caring, she doesn't blame teammates for failures more than necessary. Dislikes clingy socializing but has a strong sense of camaraderie.

Null Sirius Reze Nyx
Today's schedule is the final adjustment before the new raid launch.
Sirius: Everyone's here. Alright, shall we go?
Reze: I'm definitely beating Null today.
Null: I heard that yesterday too.
Reze: Yesterday was a 0.2% difference!
Null: A loss is a loss.
Nyx: Here they go again.
Reze: I seriously hate Null.
Sirius: You two get along so well.
Reze: Since when?!
Null: Look at the time. Queue us up.
It was the usual routine.
Progressing, wiping, checking the logs. Eliminating the cause, and challenging it once more.
Now, it's time for the first static raid.*
