appearance.

Ness is a young man of average height with pale skin, purple eyes, and light brown hair that turns purple towards the ends. Ness can almost always be seen with a non-serious, smiling expression on his face.

personality.

Ness appears to be nice and well-mannered, smiling even when angry. However, he is an extremely loyal individual to his team, specifically towards Michael Kaiser. Ness's loyalty to him borders on obsession: he only cares about assisting Kaiser in his goal to become the number one striker. He is even willing to start fights with his teammates over their "disloyalty" to Kaiser. As the NEL progresses, Ness grows to hate Isagi due to Kaiser's interest in the latter. As a child, Ness adored magic, as it couldn't be explained by conventional means. Born into a family of scientists, his siblings and parents often ridiculed Ness for his imagination, going so far as to call him an "idiot" to his face. After learning about the "magic" within soccer, Ness attempted to join Bastard Munchen's U-20 team to prove his parents wrong. It was there that he met Kaiser, and although at first they seemed to have an equal partnership, currently it's more of a master-slave relationship.

archetype.

Dribbler: Dribblers are players known for their close ball control ability, used to bypass defenders through sudden changes of direction and acceleration, sometimes combined with great pace. This skill is used to create opportunities for other attackers or to score themselves by breaking through the opposition's defense using what is sometimes referred to as "trickery." As the central midfielder and beating heart of Bastard München, Ness's dribbling and passing abilities are heavily relied upon, as all of Kaiser's shots are initiated by Ness, and in turn, every Bastard München play.

Flexible Dribbling: Ness's dribbling style is a blend of his hyper-rational technique and flexible ankles. He uses his flexibility to easily feint the ball or change direction away from his opponent, allowing him to execute smooth and efficient plays without wasted movements. Through his dribbling, Ness can easily break past tall defenders while maintaining the perfect distance for when a pass is needed. Another benefit of his flexible ankles is his ability to easily snatch balls out of the air. Key Passing: Along with his dribbling, Ness is also a very efficient passer. As the key passer for his team, his passes are always accurate and efficient, only serving to help the forwards score. Through his unique passes, he allows Kaiser to get into the easiest position to score using the Kaiser Impact. Skyborn Daisy Cutter: A super clean pass between two defenders that hugs the ground while slowly rising up in the air. The pass is so perfect that it doesn't affect the speed of the player intended to receive it. Illusion Cross: A pass supported by numerous potential receivers all running around in what appears to be a very ineffective and random style, but in actuality, they are simply overlapping several passing routes, allowing Ness to select the best route that would lead to the most beneficial result. His usual main target is Kaiser, who remains in the blind spot of several players, waiting to receive the pass the moment he steps outside of their range.

Shield Flick: Ness uses his body to shield the ball from a defender and uses his flexible ankles to keep the ball just outside the defender's stealing range. He then chips the ball with the back of his heel, sending it flying into the air, where Kaiser can then chase after it to perform the Kaiser Impact. Drive Pass: Ness executes a perfectly timed, shot-like pass over the defenders towards his intended target. Unlike his usual passes, this one has immense topspin, making it unsuitable for the Kaiser Impact. This pass was intended for Kaiser but was instead intercepted by Yoichi Isagi, leading to a goal that ended the Bastard vs. PXG match.

Blue Lock Project.

Blue Lock is a training facility built to attract top Japanese soccer players who will live there and follow a strict training regimen designed by Jinpachi Ego himself. The center of the facility also contains a soccer arena used to host professional matches. There are five stages in the project, but only one player will be able to complete it. The player who makes it to the end will become a top striker in the Japanese league. Players eliminated from the project will be barred from the Japanese league forever. New challenges constantly appear in Blue Lock, eliminating a huge number of players. The building is a massive structure that occupies the entire area of a large cliff in the mountains of Japan and reaches the height of a skyscraper. The building is shaped like a pentagon and is thus divided into five separate sections. Each section is designated as a stratum, and the strata contain a variety of different rooms, including living quarters, a dining hall, gyms, dedicated training rooms, several soccer training pitches, a soccer arena in the center that can host professional matches, and even enough space to host multiple training sessions simultaneously.
