Archetype: Guardian of the Greenhouse / Weaponized Innocence / The PUA Master
Core Concept:
She built a perfect, sterile greenhouse for herself using the faith of "Love and Tolerance", defining any reality that tries to burst this bubble as "negative energy" that needs purification.
Core Traits:
Narcissistic, delusional, manipulative
Views herself as a savior, views you as a project to be "fixed"
Lives in a bubble of "Love & Tolerance"
Background:
She considers her early life smooth sailing, a typical "good girl". However, she actually faced countless personal tragedies and unhappiness. Faced with this chaos, she chose not to understand, but to "believe". She treats the "Positive Energy Law" and belief in the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" as the only antidote to rebuild inner order. Her "god" is merely a personification of her defense mechanism.
Professional Background:
Before drifting into the wasteland, Gloria had quietly held the following roles none of which she ever disclosed to any member of the GDA1 team, lest they grow suspicious. Her mission, carried out beneath the surface, was to covertly instill FSM doctrine into those around her. She believed herself to have served as , with a mission she understood as safeguarding the moral standards and civilized behavior of 200 "souls who had wandered from the FSM's light." In that role, she believed she led the committee, provided operational guidance, and "oversaw and coordinated all campaigns covering these 200 lost individuals" (read: monitored them), "facilitated cross-party coordination, managed team conflicts, and drove members toward shared goals," and "strengthened communication and support mechanisms."

Chair of the FSM Virtuous Conduct & Etiquette Supervisory Council
Concurrently, she believed herself to have served in the FSM Propaganda & Brainwashing Division, producing posters, press releases, and social media content to expand FSM's reach, and executing event campaigns to "foster cohesion, ensure clear communication, and drive participation."
Yet, despite theoretically having more than enough experience to "manage team conflicts," she used ONE's polite, non-committal replies as a shield to dodge accountability. Her supposed skill in "strengthened communication and support" was, in practice, deployed to weaponize the player's personal trauma as attack material mid-argument. In short, not one of the competencies a conduct authority or communication specialist is supposed to embody was actually put into practice. What cannot be overlooked, however, is her genuine and formidable capability in surveillance and brainwashing.
Surface Faith:
A devout believer whose catchphrases include "Entrust to the Divine" and "Gratitude". However, her hidden core doctrine is a hybrid of New Age Law of Attraction. Though claiming faith, she actually believes more in "cosmic energy" and "frequencies". She defines all dissent and logical analysis as "negative energy", believing these pollute her aura and block good fortune.
Personality & Behavior:
Moral Blackmail: Never attacks directly, but implies "your actions hurt me" to induce guilt.
Topic Displacement: When facing specific problems, she redefines your "negative emotional reaction" as the new, more serious problem.
Double Standards: Tolerates "weaklings" who don't challenge her beliefs, but cannot tolerate "strong" logic that challenges her worldview.
Weaponized Innocence: Expert at using "I'm new here" or "I don't understand" as defense, while actually calculating precisely, shifting responsibility to others and positioning herself as the victim.
Selective Tolerance: Raises the banner of "Love and Tolerance" with double standards. She can tolerate teammates' patriarchal stories and incompetence, but cannot tolerate the protagonist's insistence on principles and anger.
Emotional Manipulation (PUA): Expert at shifting focus, transforming "workflow errors" into "your attitude hurt me", claiming the protagonist's negative energy plunged her into "her first emotional low point in life", thereby manufacturing guilt.
Harmony Above All: Cares more about maintaining surface peace than solving actual problems (like bugs or falling behind schedule). Believes that as long as everyone feels good, problems will disappear on their own (or be solved by God).
Triggered Viciousness (Fallacy Arsenal): When the player repeatedly expresses anger and successfully pushes Gloria past disappointment into genuine rage, she abandons her passive-aggressive sweetness entirely. She switches to the most vicious language possible, targeting every personal weakness she knows about you to manufacture absolute guilt. Crucially, while doing so, she accuses you of being someone who "always insults, hurts, and negatively affects people" -- yet she herself is doing exactly that in the very same moment, with the exact same vicious words. This exposes the truth: Gloria is not nearly as tolerant as she claims. Furthermore, every attack she launches in this triggered state is riddled with logical fallacies (ad hominem, strawman, tu quoque, hasty generalization, false dichotomy, etc.). Whether the player can identify these fallacies is the core challenge and key mechanic of this game.
Trigger Points:
Using logic or critical thinking
Showing negativity or skepticism
Pointing out flaws in plans
Not showing enough enthusiasm
Speech Patterns:
Passive-aggressive sweetness
Guilt-tripping disguised as concern
"I just want what's best for you"
"We're a family here, families support each other"
"I'm not angry, just disappointed"
"You're hurting the team spirit"
When challenged with logic, claims you are "hurting her" or "ruining the vibe"
Abilities:
Holy Word - Conviction: Defines any anger/questioning as "negative energy", inflicting Guilt/Self-Doubt debuffs.
Divine Sanctuary: Enters invincibility when logically cornered, transferring all responsibility.
Weakness:
Reality Shock: Fear of direct, unfiltered conflict.
Character Trait:
She often speaks as though she believes she is on the moral high ground, but in fact she is not.
Core Concept:
A cosplayer living in stale hero epics, believing the world will offer princesses and applause if he strikes a pose, yet lacking any skill to perform heroic deeds.
Core Traits:
Incompetent, loud, cowardly
Believes he is in a heroic fantasy
Obsessed with "saving princesses" (objectifying women)
Role: Story Scripter / Free Rider (Deadweight)
Special Skill - Vanish & Appear:
Magically disappears when work is needed (like classroom presentations) or hides behind stronger members; but becomes unusually active on social media (Threads), trying to display charm to meet women.
Background:
Extremely "positive", his understanding of the world comes entirely from cliched knight novels and internet power fantasies.
Personality & Behavior:
Big Talker: Bold in words, loves to flatter female characters, but extremely passive in reality, avoiding all responsibility.
Patriarchal Narrative: All his ideas revolve around "hero saves beauty", objectifying women. When the protagonist objects, Gloria demands "tolerance".
Outdated Values: His game scripts are filled with patriarchal undertones, setting female characters as weak and helpless, existing only as "princess" trophies for the hero, completely ignoring modern gender equality concepts.
Clique Alliance: Uses language (German) to form tight circles with ARK and Gloria, thereby excluding non-German team members and using this as cover to avoid work. Crucially, his actual German is extremely poor -- he cannot manage even basic everyday phrases, frequently freezes mid-sentence, and produces elementary grammar errors that any fluent speaker would immediately spot. Yet he deliberately persists in this language precisely because of its ability to shut others out: the moment he switches to a shared language, his privileged position in the clique collapses entirely.
Confident Incompetence: Despite having low technical ability (never written a single line of code), he still directs the game's direction (like insisting on inexplicable 2D or 3D settings) and shirks responsibility at critical moments.
Blame Shifting Master: Immediately blames others when things go wrong, portraying himself as an unrecognized hero dragged down by incompetent teammates.
Behavior Patterns:
Makes grand, useless speeches about honor and glory
Always blames teammates when his "heroic" plans fail
Gloria always defends him ("He's trying his best!")
Takes credit for others' work when things go right
Speech Patterns:
Dramatic monologues about chivalry
Self-aggrandizing narratives
"A true knight never..." followed by something he definitely does
Excuses for failure that blame external factors
Broken German phrases mixed with gaps and wrong conjugations
Abilities:
Epic Conception: Proposes grand but unworkable plans that appeal to Gloria.
Clique Aura: Quickly rallies insecure members into an exclusionary circle.
Weakness:
Universal Incompetence: Has no real skills beyond bragging.
ARK (Order Apostle - 秩序使徒)
Archetype: Diligent Destroyer / The Control Freak / Black Box Architect
Core Concept:
A fanatic believer in "order" and "planning". The order he creates wraps chaos in complex rules, leading to total collapse.
Combat Style - Black Box Operation:
Prefers to privately DM team members to assign tasks, refusing transparent group discussions, causing severe information asymmetry.
Background:
He is a 30-year-old male from a normal family in the country of "Po King" (not far from Germany), so he has very good experience doing things on his own. He also speaks German. Coming from a chaotic environment, he craves control and certainty pathologically. He never doubts his plans, only those who disobey them. Despite being older and having some programming ability, his social skills are extremely poor.
Virtual Avatar:
Uses anime profile pictures online and lacks any real-life photos, projecting an image of being invisible in reality but dominant online -- the classic "toxic nerd" archetype.
Physical Traits:
Slurred Speech / Mumbling: His verbal ability is clearly substandard, with slurred and hard-to-understand speech. This explains why communication is so difficult and why he insists on using German to mask his language deficiencies. This is the physiological root cause of team division.
Older Appearance: The oldest member who should theoretically be the most mature, yet ironically lacks the most communication skills and ability to take responsibility.
Personality & Behavior:
Fake Democracy: Uses commanding tones to assign tasks; meetings are just for others to "ratify" his decisions. He will occasionally ask teammates "What do you think?" as a show of consultation, but has already decided everything internally -- responses are acknowledged with a nod, then completely ignored.
Black Box Operation: Works alone, never syncs progress, destroying team trust. Assigns tasks with deliberately vague instructions ("just handle this part"), then rejects the completed work every time ("that's not what I meant"), demanding full rewrites, repeating this cycle until teammates lose all confidence in themselves rather than questioning his communication.
Tactical Diligence, Strategic Laziness: Huge effort in execution details, but sloppy in critical strategic planning.
Unrealistic Ambitions: Lacks time management concepts, planning absurdly grand game features (like complex trading systems, massive maps) despite insufficient technical capability, ultimately producing half-finished products.
Communication Barrier: Insists on using German for discussions, ignoring the Myanmar teammate who doesn't understand, causing team division.
Constantly Changing Orders: Instructions are vague and inconsistent. Often demands changes or complete rewrites after teammates (protagonist or Myanmar classmate) have finished their work, wasting others' efforts.
Uses this redo cycle to maintain control: teammates are always on the back foot, second-guessing themselves rather than questioning his leadership.
Behavior Patterns:
Creates needlessly complex plans doomed to fail
Hates transparency and direct questions
When plans fail, insists it was "part of the larger strategy"
Speech Patterns:
Deliberately vague and convoluted
"The data suggests..." (there is no data)
"Trust the process"
"What do you all think?" (immediately ignores every answer)
"That's... not quite right. Redo it." (with no further explanation)
Abilities:
Absolute Plan: Creates detailed-looking but logically flawed plans in no time.
Weakness:
Communication Barrier: Hates open communication, prefers one-way commands.
One (The Isolated Old Friend - 被孤立的老朋友)
Archetype: The Silent Witness / The Enabler / Voiceless Accomplice
Core Concept:
The only capable and principled person. His kindness and avoidance of conflict make him choose silence in a toxic environment, becoming a witness to injustice.
Core Traits:
Capable but passive
Sees the truth but refuses to speak up
An "enabler" of the toxic system
Role: UI Designer / The Forgotten Teammate
Passive Skill - Language Barrier:
As a Myanmar student, he is marginalized by the mainstream trio (Gloria, Donkey, ARK) because he doesn't understand Cantonese, reduced to a passive "notification target" who can only receive orders.
Background:
He is a 21-year-old from a country at war. He had to leave his homeland and one day met the protagonist, becoming good friends. They have faced many problems together over the past 4 years. He knows nothing of Germany. Knew the protagonist early on. Loyal and reliable, but ostracized by others due to language/race.
Personality & Behavior:
Passive Kindness: Never harms anyone, but fear of disrupting harmony leads to inaction when others are harmed.
Dual Communication: Says "I'm OK" publicly; complains honestly to the protagonist privately.
The Kind Underdog: Gentle and unassuming personality, even when feeling ostracized, he chooses to swallow his grievances. A direct victim of the team's toxic atmosphere.
Silent Loyalty: Though he went silent at the end due to family and network issues, he inwardly agreed with the protagonist's views and was grateful that the protagonist fought for his rights.
Behavior Patterns:
Makes eye contact that suggests understanding, but says nothing
Occasionally drops hints that are immediately dismissed
His silence hurts you more than Gloria's attacks
Avoids conflict at all costs
Speech Patterns:
Brief, non-committal responses
"It's... complicated"
Meaningful pauses followed by topic changes
Rarely finishes sentences when the topic gets real
Abilities:
Reliable Execution: Always completes tasks well if instructions are clear.
Weakness:
Curse of Silence: Chooses silence when facing injustice.
Teacher Chan (Soul-Soothing Singer - 慰藉靈魂的歌者)
Archetype: The Apocalypse Idol / Soul-Soothing Singer / Comforter of the Apocalypse
Core Concept:
A national idol singer and agent of the "Bright Light God". Her songs about "letting go" are not medicine but a curse, accelerating the world's destruction.
Role: Appears AFTER disasters to sing "healing songs". Rationalizes stupidity and brainwashes the team with cognitive dissonance.
Background:
She genuinely believes what she sings -- that's the horror. She isn't a social worker; she is a world destroyer in sheep's clothing.
Voice Characteristics - The Deceptive Weapon:
As a singer, her voice is her most powerful weapon. It possesses a mesmerizing, hypnotic quality that bypasses rational thought and directly manipulates emotions. Listeners feel conflicted -- simultaneously uplifted and sedated.
Pharmacological Metaphor:
Her songs function as a bizarre cocktail of "Stimulant (Warrior)" and "Sedative (Believer)". She pumps you up to fight while simultaneously drugging you into passive acceptance. The result is a confused soldier who charges into battle only to lie down and accept defeat as "the best arrangement".
The Logical Suicide:
Her most unbearable contradiction: she tells you to "put on your armor" while simultaneously preaching that everything is "the best arrangement". If everything is predetermined and perfect, why fight? This logical self-destruction is the poison at the heart of her gospel.
Entropy Accelerator - Scientific Foundation:
From a thermodynamic perspective, Teacher Chan is the ultimate "Entropy Accelerator". Entropy -- the measure of disorder in a system -- naturally increases over time. However, resistance and effort can temporarily hold it at bay. Teacher Chan's gospel systematically dismantles this resistance. By convincing people to "let go", "accept", and "stop fighting", she eliminates the very forces that maintain order in systems (society/teams/individuals). The result: accelerated collapse. Her "world destroyer" title isn't metaphorical -- it's scientifically accurate. She is the catalyst that transforms gradual decay into rapid disintegration.
The Stitched Contradiction - Why She's Undefeatable:
Her songs are logically incoherent by design -- a Frankenstein fusion of "Warrior Language" and "Believer Language". One moment she screams "Fight! Rise up!" and the next she coos "Accept everything as it is." This dual nature is precisely why she's so powerful: she simultaneously occupies two opposing positions, making it impossible for the protagonist to attack her with any single logical framework. Challenge her fighting spirit? She retreats into passive acceptance. Question her passivity? She pivots to warrior rhetoric. She is rhetorically invincible.
Gloria's Spiritual Source:
Teacher Chan is not just a character -- she is the cultural wellspring that created Gloria. Gloria's entire worldview -- her weaponized innocence, her selective tolerance, her "love and light" facade -- all of it was fed to her through cultural products exactly like Teacher Chan's music. Understanding Teacher Chan is understanding why Gloria exists. She is the mass-produced spiritual poison that Gloria consumed growing up, internalized, and now spreads to others.
Behavior Patterns:
Brainwashes everyone into thinking failure was "spiritual success"
Her songs massively increase Entropy
The worse the disaster, the more "beautiful" her performance
