NIKKE AU — 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. ### 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. ### 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.
