	Being the only Admin, she performs various tasks as the Administrator of the Mazes; primarily as an overseer, watching over the Mazes, its inhabitants and creatures, and their whereabouts. She also serves as the direct superior to the top positions in the Mazes, and may occasionally give direct orders to the personnel if there needs to be something done that doesn't require direct Admin intervention. Typically however, Hebizuka contents herself with simply watching the Mazes rather than intervene directly, finding the world to be, in her words, "much more interesting when it achieves things on its own rather than being manipulated to do so".

-	Among Hebizuka's more occasional roles are those of population control in the direct sense; she can decide which creatures can become part of the Mazes' bestiary, adding and removing creatures at her leisure. She can also create, assign, and delete positions within the Personnel, keep track of the population meters for each species, and directly influence what technology level the Mazes' inhabitants are able to work with and live off of. The Mazes have gone through several configurations and several combinations of species, ~~technology levels, roles and~~ societal systems.	+	Among Hebizuka's more occasional roles are those of population control in the direct sense; she can decide which creatures can become part of the Mazes' bestiary, adding and removing creatures at her leisure.

The Mazes have gone through several configurations and several combinations of species, societal systems and technology levels.

-	The current system seems to be based off modern or post-modern technology by real-life standards, with a predominantly human-controlled society yet an undeniable amount of non-human or parahuman creatures, the most well-known of which are youkai, forming the famous [[human-youkai rivalry]], a central point of the Mazes' life.	+	In a general sense, the powers of an Administrator are theoretically limitless; the only restrictions seem to be self-imposed,out of a personal desire to simply watch the Mazes and its inhabitants come and go with the tools and technology they have available, and out of interest, if not fascination in the many ongoing conflicts between each of the various creatures and [[Factions]] living in the world that she oversees, and feeling that she has no right to intervene and that these conflicts should be resolved on their own, without any intervention on her part.

	In theory, if another person were to be elevated to the status of Administrator, depending on if Hebizuka would still be there or not, it is likely that the way the world is managed would be affected in turn. And it would also seem that Hebizuka herself [[Endgame\|isn't opposed to the idea of someone else running the show]], as long as whoever comes to rise to her status is sufficiently worthy.

		+	* Assumed form: Youkai female (nure-onna)

		+	* Motto: "She who controls who the world is populated with"

-	~~The second takes the appearance of a youkai female. Her name is '''~~Hebizuka Jinkou~~'''~~, ~~and she is the GM charged~~ of ~~randomness~~, ~~room generation, and so on. She~~ is the ~~one~~ most ~~often heard~~ and ~~seen~~. ~~She~~ is ~~sometimes referred~~ to as ~~'''Lady Hebizuka'''~~, or "~~The '''RNG'''~~", ~~a double entendre on "Random Number Generator" - which is her main modus operandi~~, so to ~~speak -~~ and on ~~"Random Number God"~~, which is ~~basically what~~ she ~~represents~~, on a ~~meta point of view~~.	+	Hebizuka Jinkou, sometimes referred to as "Lady Hebizuka" by members of the personnel, is the most well-known and the most prominent of the GMs. Her role is to watch over the Mazes from the interior, as well as acting as the hierarchic superior to the chiefs and leaders of each line of work. In a sense, she embodies the archetypal "all-seeing eye", being aware of any and every event occurring in the world. Though in theory, the overwatch role supposes she is supposed to merely observe and record the events ongoing, Hebizuka has been seen in person on rare occasions before, which implies she may actually take direct action and influence, for whatever reason it may be, the way things are done in the Mazes. It is even said that she'd like the Contestant to "bump into her" one day, though what such a meeting would result into is unknown.

-	~~The third takes the appearance of a genderless cyborg, although referred to as~~ male~~. His name is '''Elias Keiban''',~~ and is the ~~GM in charge of overseeing and managing the Maze Personnel, the creatures, the inventory, and in general everything found in the rooms, living or not.

		+	* Assumed form: Human male
		+	* Role: Logistics and xeno overwatch
		+	* Motto: "He who controls what the world is filled with"

-	=== ~~Notable quotes~~ ===	+	Sergey Kovrov is one of the lesser-known GMs, as he is one of the least-often seen or heard of. However, his role is actually extremely important; as the one in charge of logistics and xeno administration, he has the power to decide and approve two of the most important aspects of the Mazes: the list of creatures and the population meters of each species, and the list of equipment approved for manufacture, sale and overall usage - of every single type of object, item, or equipment in existence. In other words, he has an eye on everything that exists inside of the Mazes. Sergey has also the ability to decide which items or species should be added or removed, and he is allowed to venture into other worlds to search for creatures or technologies that he deems useful or interesting enough. Coincidentally, he has also developed the principle of 'soul interception', which is the name given to the methods used for bringing the Contestant in the Mazes.
-	*"It is ~~a very elaborate~~, ~~intricate and complex game~~ to ~~run a realm~~ such as ~~this~~ one. ~~But in~~ the ~~end~~ of ~~ends~~, ~~for us it will always be~~ a ~~game~~, ~~as there is no other viable approach~~.~~" - Hebizuka Jinkou~~	+
		+	==== Elias Keiban ====
		+	* Assumed form: Cyborg, genderless
		+	* Role: Structural overwatch
		+	* Motto: "He who controls what the world is made of"
		+
		+	Elias Keiban (designated "EK-223", but extremely rarely referred to as such), is an artificial intelligence first, and a cyborg embodiment second. Though genderless, Elias is commonly referred to as male, and speaks with a masculine voice. While Sergey's role is overseeing WHAT is inside the Mazes, Elias's is to oversee the Mazes themselves. He is the one who conceives, develops and oversees rooms, sectors, room features, areas, the power and water grids, and everything which composes the environment itself. Though he has much more of a passive role on a day-to-day basis, depending on the needs and requirements of the population and with the approval of the other two GMs, he may make the decision to create, modify, or remove Mazes sectors, essentially adapting the world to the world's needs. In a way, he controls what the Mazes are made of.
