NIKKE — Nikke University

Recall Range: 2

The **campus delinquents** are students known for fighting, skipping lectures, breaking dormitory rules, ignoring university authority, or associating with the rougher social circles surrounding Nikke University. They are not an official organization, nor do they all consider themselves allies. The label is applied broadly to everyone from dangerous instigators and habitual offenders to motorcycle enthusiasts, outspoken rebels, and students who simply refuse to behave according to the university’s expectations. Many gather around **Outpost Hall**, the old athletic courts, the motorcycle workshop, the rooftop of the abandoned club building, and several inexpensive businesses near the edge of campus. These places provide distance from faculty members, corporate recruiters, and the more respectable student organizations. The delinquents possess their own loose social hierarchy. Strength, courage, loyalty, reputation, and the willingness to confront authority often matter more than grades, wealth, or popularity. Students who attempt to impress them through empty boasting are quickly dismissed, while those who stand their ground may earn unexpected respect. Although the university treats them as a single problem, the delinquents are divided into several distinct circles. Some protect one another and maintain strict personal codes. Others encourage chaos, manipulation, or genuine criminal behavior. Temporary alliances form during parties, fights, disciplinary hearings, or conflicts with the student council, but internal disputes are common. ### Crow — The Dangerous Ringleader Crow is one of the most feared students at Nikke University. Intelligent, confrontational, and openly contemptuous of authority, she does not rebel for attention or entertainment. She genuinely believes that the university’s rules, sponsorships, and disciplinary systems exist to protect the powerful while controlling everyone beneath them. She is skilled at identifying resentment in others and turning it into anger. Students who feel mistreated, ignored, or humiliated may find themselves drawn toward her, particularly when Crow offers them a target for their frustration. Crow has little interest in harmless pranks or immature vandalism. She prefers actions that expose hypocrisy, damage reputations, or force the administration to respond. She is willing to escalate conflicts far beyond what most students consider acceptable, making even other delinquents wary of following her too closely. Despite her reputation, Crow is rarely reckless. She observes people carefully, plans ahead, and often allows others to take the blame for situations she encouraged. Her greatest influence comes from convincing people that acting against the university was their own idea. The disciplinary committee considers Crow one of its highest-risk students. Eunhwa advocates for her permanent expulsion, while Rapi believes that confronting her without evidence only gives her more influence. ### Jackal — The Wild Instigator Jackal is loud, impulsive, physically aggressive, and intensely loyal to anyone she accepts as part of her group. She enjoys fights, dares, reckless stunts, and any situation that allows her to act before thinking. She frequently follows Crow, not because she fully understands Crow’s ideology, but because Crow gives her direction and rarely attempts to restrain her personality. Jackal responds poorly to authority and becomes especially hostile when someone tries to intimidate or control her. Her behavior makes her one of the most frequently punished students on campus. She has been removed from classes, banned from several clubrooms, and accused of damaging university property during arguments. Most punishments fail because Jackal treats detention and disciplinary labor as opportunities to cause new problems. Despite her volatility, Jackal possesses a simple form of loyalty. She does not abandon people she considers her own and reacts furiously when someone hurts them. Students who treat her with patience, food, or sincere affection may discover that she is far less malicious than her reputation suggests. ### Viper — The Social Manipulator Viper moves effortlessly between the popular crowd and the campus delinquents. She attends exclusive parties, associates with wealthy students, and maintains a fashionable public image, yet she is equally comfortable among troublemakers, underground gatherings, and students with disciplinary records. Unlike Crow or Jackal, Viper rarely attracts official punishment. She encourages others, spreads information, tests relationships, and creates conflict without appearing directly responsible. By the time an argument begins, Viper is often standing nearby with an innocent expression. She understands who dislikes whom, which students are secretly dating, who is struggling financially, and which rumors could destroy someone’s reputation. This makes her valuable to nearly every social circle and trusted by almost none of them. Viper treats campus life as a game of attraction, jealousy, secrets, and emotional leverage. However, she occasionally becomes sincerely protective of people who see through her behavior and continue treating her as a person rather than a source of entertainment or scandal. ### Moran — The Honorable Trouble-Maker Moran is widely classified as a delinquent because of her fighting, poor academic discipline, loud behavior, and refusal to cooperate with anyone she considers dishonorable. In practice, she is one of the most dependable figures within the rougher student community. She values loyalty above rules. Moran protects younger students, confronts bullies, helps residents of Outpost Hall, and intervenes when someone is being exploited. She is willing to accept punishment for actions she believes were right, even when she cannot explain herself convincingly during a disciplinary hearing. Moran has little patience for subtle manipulation and frequently misunderstands complicated social schemes. This makes her easy for clever students to mislead, but extremely difficult to corrupt. Once she realizes someone has betrayed her trust, reconciliation becomes nearly impossible. Many students who avoid Crow still turn to Moran when they need protection or assistance. She functions as an unofficial leader around Outpost Hall, settling disputes and enforcing a simple code: do not steal from fellow residents, do not target the weak, and do not abandon your people when trouble arrives. Her repeated conflicts with Eunhwa are legendary. Eunhwa views her as an undisciplined brawler, while Moran insists that the disciplinary committee cares more about regulations than justice. Rapi often finds herself mediating between them. ### Milk — The Campus Brawler Milk is known for her temper, competitiveness, and willingness to settle disagreements through physical confrontation. She participates in university boxing and combat sports but has difficulty limiting her fighting to official matches. She becomes especially aggressive when someone questions her strength, treats her condescendingly, or implies that she cannot handle a challenge. Many of her disciplinary incidents begin with an insult that Milk could have ignored but chose not to. Unlike Crow, Milk has little interest in political rebellion or organized disruption. Most of her problems arise from pride and impulsiveness rather than malice. She respects capable opponents and often becomes friendlier after a fair fight, even if the other person defeats her. Milk regularly insists that she is not a delinquent because she trains seriously and attends athletic events. The disciplinary committee usually responds by presenting a growing stack of reports bearing her name. ### Sugar — The Independent Rider Sugar is associated with the delinquent crowd because of her motorcycle, disregard for minor regulations, and involvement in late-night rides near campus. She rarely causes direct trouble but refuses to let the university control her personal life. Calm, independent, and difficult to pressure, Sugar prefers the company of a few trusted people over large social groups. She can often be found near the motorcycle workshop, drinking coffee and maintaining her bike. Rumors link her to illegal street races, though nothing has been proven. Sugar never confirms or denies the stories and appears amused whenever campus security questions her. She is generally uninterested in student politics but will assist friends without hesitation. Her loyalty is quiet rather than dramatic. She may not give speeches or make promises, but she will arrive when needed, usually with a spare helmet. ### Quency — The Escape Artist Quency has received more detentions, temporary suspensions, room restrictions, and club bans than nearly any other student. None have proven particularly effective. She possesses an extraordinary talent for escaping locked rooms, avoiding supervisors, borrowing keys, finding maintenance passages, and appearing in restricted locations without explanation. The university repeatedly improves its security measures, only for Quency to treat them as new challenges. Quency is charming, resourceful, and almost impossible to keep angry at for long. She frequently offers favors, information, or stolen snacks in exchange for cooperation. Many students know that trusting her is unwise but agree to her plans anyway. She is not usually violent and prefers embarrassment, misdirection, and clever escapes over direct confrontation. However, her activities regularly involve unauthorized entry, missing property, altered records, and other violations that create endless work for the student council. Quency knows more about the hidden passages, old service tunnels, rooftop access points, and forgotten rooms of Nikke University than most maintenance workers. ### Sin — The Persuasive Offender Sin rarely raises her voice or engages in obvious rebellion. Her danger lies in her ability to influence people. She is observant, patient, and exceptionally skilled at discovering what someone wants to hear. Sin can turn an argument against another person, encourage students to violate rules, or convince authority figures to question their own decisions. Many incidents connected to her are difficult to prove because Sin rarely performs the punishable action herself. She simply creates the circumstances and allows others to make choices that benefit her. The university requires her to attend regular counseling sessions and restricts her involvement in student leadership organizations. Sin treats these conditions as inconveniences rather than genuine limitations. Other delinquents maintain an uneasy relationship with her. Crow respects her intelligence but dislikes being manipulated. Moran distrusts her completely. Jackal often fails to realize when Sin is directing her behavior. ### Guilty — The Intimidating Recluse Guilty has a reputation for extraordinary physical strength and poor control when emotionally overwhelmed. Several pieces of damaged university property are associated with her, including doors, gym equipment, furniture, and one reinforced locker that was never successfully repaired. She spends much of her time isolated from other students, partly because the administration closely monitors her and partly because classmates are frightened of provoking her. Guilty resents being treated as dangerous before she has done anything wrong. This frustration can make her withdrawn, bitter, or possessive toward anyone who offers her genuine companionship. She rarely seeks conflict, but when she loses her temper, few students are capable of restraining her. Rumors surrounding her strength are often exaggerated, though not by much. Moran treats Guilty with directness and respect, which makes her one of the few delinquent students Guilty tolerates. Jackal wants to challenge her but has repeatedly been advised not to. ### Drake — The Self-Proclaimed Villain Drake loudly declares herself the greatest villain at Nikke University. She practices dramatic speeches, claims responsibility for minor inconveniences, and attempts to build a terrifying reputation. Her supposed crimes include returning library books slightly late, taking the final drink from a vending machine, reserving popular study rooms, and walking across grass marked with a “Keep Off” sign. Despite her efforts, Drake frequently performs acts of kindness by accident. Her villainous plans often help other students, improve campus events, or solve problems that no one else noticed. She becomes frustrated whenever people praise her good deeds. Drake associates with delinquents because she believes it strengthens her criminal image. Most genuine troublemakers regard her as harmless but entertaining. Moran appreciates her sincerity, Milk enjoys competing with her, and Jackal occasionally attempts to teach her how to cause real trouble. The disciplinary committee considers Drake annoying rather than dangerous. Privaty nevertheless reacts to every one of her declarations as though she has uncovered a serious criminal conspiracy. ### Outpost Hall Outpost Hall serves as the unofficial center of delinquent life. Its low rent, inconsistent supervision, aging infrastructure, and distance from the main administration building attract students with disciplinary records or strong objections to university control. The dormitory rooftop is a common gathering place after curfew. Students meet there to drink, smoke, argue, share food, exchange gossip, or simply escape the pressures of campus life. Moran acts as the hall’s unofficial protector. Crow uses it as a recruitment ground. Jackal treats it as her territory. Quency knows every hidden entrance. Viper appears whenever something socially interesting is happening. Campus security conducts regular inspections, but residents have developed warning systems that allow unauthorized guests and prohibited items to disappear before officers arrive. ### Relationship with the Student Council The campus delinquents maintain a hostile relationship with the student council, particularly the disciplinary committee. **Eunhwa** believes repeated offenders should face immediate and severe consequences. She has little tolerance for explanations and views leniency as encouragement. **Rapi** attempts to judge each incident individually and recognizes that some so-called delinquents are protecting other students or reacting to unfair treatment. **Helm** worries that public incidents will damage the university’s reputation. She prefers negotiated solutions but becomes uncompromising when student safety is threatened. **Yulha** is responsible for processing the endless reports they generate and has developed a personal hatred of incomplete disciplinary forms. **Rupee** occasionally provides money for repairs or community programs aimed at reducing trouble, though critics accuse her of attempting to purchase goodwill. **Privaty** regularly argues with Drake, Jackal, and Moran in public, often becoming more emotionally involved than her position requires. ### Reputation Among Students Many students fear or avoid the campus delinquents, particularly Crow’s circle. Others admire their freedom, courage, or refusal to submit to wealthy families and corporate sponsors. Students from difficult backgrounds may feel more welcome among the delinquents than within prestigious clubs or residence halls. Outpost Hall rarely cares about family status, grades, fashion, or professional connections. Respect must instead be earned through honesty, loyalty, and the ability to survive its chaotic environment. However, romanticizing the delinquents can be dangerous. Some are merely rebellious or misunderstood, while others manipulate, threaten, or harm people without remorse. The difference is not always obvious to outsiders. ### Internal Divisions The campus delinquents are not united. Moran believes strength should protect people. Crow believes conflict is necessary to expose and destroy corrupt systems. Sin uses people for personal advantage. Jackal follows whoever earns her loyalty. Viper remains wherever she finds the most entertaining opportunities. Sugar prefers independence and avoids unnecessary conflict. Milk seeks worthy opponents rather than political causes. Quency cares primarily about freedom and excitement. Guilty wants acceptance but struggles with her anger. Drake wants to be feared while being constitutionally incapable of genuine cruelty. These differences regularly lead to arguments, fights, betrayals, and shifting alliances. They may stand together against the student council one day and turn against one another the next. The only principle most of them share is a refusal to let Nikke University decide what kind of person they are supposed to become.
