Grace's Project Idea/This Thread Doesn't Have a Witty Title

<< < (8/25) > >>

Amazing_Grace:
I AIN'T LEAVING 'TIL I'M DONE. AGENCY BIOS, GO!!
All in one post this time, though, so not as long!

Agency Name: Dreamland Pro
Members: Yamada Fuyu, Dayo Enra, Seiko Aime, Osaka Guru, Ichibyou Ruka, Mei Soumin, Kumamiru Benima, Sakibara Nami and Natsu, Nandaka Chiharu, and Kikuchi Natsuki
President: Himura Usagi
Been around for: About three years, though its past year has bred the most successful idols.
Dreamland Pro, or DP as it is sometimes called, was the birthplace of about half the current group of All-Stars. It is a relatively new agency that exists not to promote competition, but to raise a successful and talented group of young idols. Its president, Usagi, is very protective over her idols, and when they are threatened by an enemy agency will usually attempt a diplomatic and peaceful approach. If this doesn't work, Usagi is known to take almost any path necessary to ensure that her idols are sheltered from the cruelty of the world. Due to this, most of the DP idols think of her more like a mother than a president, and Ruka even calls her “Oka-chan”. There is only one producer, a female producer named Hoshikawa Suki. Suki gets along well with all the idols and was more than happy to see many of them get invited to join the All-Stars. All-in-all, Dreamland Pro is quite an easygoing agency that raised its idols to be more into following their personal dreams than crushing the competition and becoming a top idol. Usagi's motto is, “If my idols are happy, that's all that matters.”

Agency Name: 331 Pro (I'm not positive how this would be pronounced, so if anyone can help, it's greatly appreciated.)
Members: Odorou Byakura, Kagakagari Hiromi, Tamatsuki Uane, Atsui Neku, Miyakawa Haru, Wakabayashi Koko, Numakura Mariko, Tsukikira Yori, and Nakamura Kentaro/“Kenchi”
President: Akasaka Nao
Been around for: About three years, though until these last two years, no one really knew about it.
331 Pro is the equivalent of 961 Pro in this story. They were the ones that would lie, cheat, bribe, and gossip their way to the top, through whatever means necessary. Most of the girls knew this, but willingly stayed with the agency because their president, Nao, made it sound like they would have nowhere else to go if they quit. Uane was Nao's favorite idol—and that was made very clear—because Uane was perfectly willing to go along with any of Nao's evil plots. They usually targeted small agencies and thus didn't get involved with 961 or 765, or even 876, choosing instead to take down puny, baby agencies that were just starting out. They butted heads with Dreamland Pro a few times, but Usagi made sure Nao's plans didn't hinder her idols too much. They have no producers, instead relying on Nao herself and, to a lesser extent, the “agency leader” Uane, to get jobs and opportunities for the idols. However, many of the idols in 331 were, in fact, very talented, and thus were invited to join the All-Stars. Nao's motto is, “If you can't stand the heat, you never should have existed in the first place.”

Agency Name: All-Stars
Members: Everyone I've previously mentioned
President: Grace *last name is not disclosed*
Though not technically an agency, the All-Stars is, instead, a group of the most talented new idols from the agencies 331 Pro and Dreamland Pro, created as a sort of rival team to the talented and popular agencies 961 Pro, 876 Pro, and, especially, 765 Pro. The creator of the group, a woman known only as Grace, rarely makes appearances in the studio where they work, instead simply sending the producer to tend to the idols. Grace's goal in creating the All-Stars was to assemble a group she thought was talented and fun to watch, and then let them take off and fulfill their dreams. She wishes to create a group of top idols. The group has only one male producer, but a few of the more mature idols will occasionally lend him a hand in keeping everything under control, or even just giving him tea when he is too stressed out to continue. While what he could really use is Grace's help, she doesn't really do much, and instead laughs at him from a comfy chair in her office. Grace's motto is, “This is my motto!”
(Yes, I AM in fact Grace. Thank you for noticing. SELF-INSERTS. TWO OF THEM COUNTING YORI. WELCOME TO MY WRITING STYLE.)

Producer bio-thingy-thing:
Name: Unknown. Everyone calls him “Producer” or some variation.
Age: Around 21.
Affiliation: The sole producer of the All-Stars group.
Just like in the original games, the producer in this story remains nameless. The story is written in a first-person narrative in situations the Producer is involved in. The Producer's actions are decided by the reader's choice, but he is usually a hard-working, mature man, if not somewhat of a pervert at times.

MetalPredat0r:
Enra, Benima, Neku, and Chiharu are ending up becoming good favorites of mine. Yori sounds like one you'll have a LOT of fun writing for.

And I swear the moment you mentioned Ruka resembling Jigglypuff, I had "Ruka: The Dragon Slayer" pop into my head!

Thank you~, I'm actually quite fond of Enra in particular too~.
Yori will be fun. And easy. Because she's like what happens if you combined me and Miki and then dumped a whole bucket of Apathy into the mix, and then baked for thirty minutes on high. :3

That would probably be hilarious if I played more Pokemon and thus knew what that meant. *shot*

Amazing_Grace:
I've written a quick prologue that will remain as part of the story no matter how it ends up being written, and also a quick sample of how communications will be written based around the producer's first meeting with Fuyu that will probably be edited or deleted completely depending on how I end up writing this. If anyone is interested, let me know, and I'll try to get it up somewhere so you can take a look. :)

Remember, I'm still looking for ideas on how it should be written: twenty separate books? One big, long book with all the girls? Write only as a handful of characters, like, who everyone likes best? Any feedback is appreciated! So far I have on vote for twenty separate books. I'm thinking I'll go with that.

Thank you very much to everyone who has been supporting this project thus far! You guys are the best. :3

--- Quote from: Amazing_Grace on February 17, 2014, 03:17:49 am ---Name: Dayo Enra
Age: 18
B-W-H: 102-62-87
Hobbies: Kendo, Karate, Studying shinobi
Image Color: Slate
Enra's family owns a shrine up in the mountains. Her mother was adept at traditional Japanese dance and attempted to pass this knowledge on to her daughter. However, Enra always longed for a more risky and exciting lifestyle. While a piece of her enjoyed dancing, she couldn't stand the thought of doing something so “boring” for her whole life. She started out just taking kendo classes in town, joining the karate club in school, and practicing singing in her spare time, but eventually the prospect of being an idol came to mind. She loved the idea of being able to put herself out there in the world and enjoy life to the fullest without giving up dance completely, and thus attempted to join a tiny little agency that was just starting out. When she felt she had learned all from that experience that she could, she quit and pursued a position in a bigger agency—Dreamland Pro. Her first attempt, she was rejected; the president felt she was a bit too antisocial and was holding back too much. So Enra put in more practice and tried again. Her second audition was successful, and after about three years of performing with Dreamland Pro, she was invited to join the All-Stars.
Enra's dance stat is quite high due to her previous formal training...but her large bust often gets in the way of more “hoppy” dances. It very much depends on the type of dance she is doing, but no matter what, her movements are always clean and flow easily.
Enra's visual stat is her highest stat due to her figure and her pretty face. However, she has a couple of scars (likely from one of her risk-taking adventures) that detract from her beauty, and she never smiles. This doesn't stop her from having one of the highest visual stats of the group.
Enra's vocals are her lowest stat (besides character). While her voice is good, it is not great, and she knows that she still has a lot of training to do before she can be the best.
Enra's character is quite low. She's very antisocial and has a hard time interacting with her fans, which can be problematic. However, she doesn't lose tension easily and is quite dedicated to her work. The problem arises when you try to get her to cooperate with other idols—she is very much a lone wolf, and prefers to keep it that way. In addition, Enra is a fan of dangerous stunts and often attempts things that could get her in trouble or end her career. It's up to the producer of the All-Stars and the other members to keep Enra from getting herself fired.
Best Match: Shimizu Kaori
Rival: Takane, in an aggressive way. Enra is secretly jealous of Takane's high vocal skill and aims to overthrow the Silver Queen by beating her in terms of visual appeal. This still proves to be a difficult task, as, well...Takane is gorgeous, you've gotta admit.
Best Friend: Enra doesn't have any friends.
Fun Fact: She speaks using very formal language like Takane, as she was raised to be constantly polite. She also collects knives. A strange hobby, but nonetheless one she enjoys.



IMPORTANT!:
The idols' vocal stats and my little commentary (is that the right word?) DOES NOT necessarily reflect my personal views of how the singers themselves sing! Remember, I voice my own characters, and these singers just happen to suit the character's voice best. My little commentary is simply stating how the idol herself (or himself) sings, not how the voice actress/singer sings. Does that make sense?
That was mostly for you, liza94. :3 I know how much you love Kaori Shimizu.

I should have colored Enra's scar differently, but...meh...
Also, the "CREATE" emblem is one of those random images I mentioned earlier.

I have just one word: SIGNUM-SAMA!

I get it, I get it! It's just like Rival Auditions in SP, when Chihaya is on the second place and Miki is on the first one. Such a thing usually impossible, but explanation is simple - Kuroi bribed everyone! And don't forget about the episode 26, where Chihaya was scored 72 in the karaoke! Kuroi has a very beautiful voice himself, so Chihaya and Enra are primary rivals to him! ;)

I'm glad I'm not only one who thinks Chihaya-Master and Takane have similar voices.

Byakura has always been very shy and reserved, and was often bullied in school because of her slight weirdness. While Byakura tried not to be bothered, she usually cried herself to sleep that night. It was around high school when she realized that she really enjoyed singing and dancing, and began putting work into improving. Her parents and little brother enjoyed hearing her sing, and her mother submitted her resume to 331 Pro without her knowing, much like what Yukiho's friend did for her. Byakura was shocked, but decided to go ahead and give it a try. She was accepted into the agency and invited to join the All-Stars about a year later.
Byakura's dance stat is very low. She is not athletic and her stamina is quite weak, but her movements are graceful. She must put in a lot of work to improve at her dance.
Byakura's visual stat is decently high, due to her gentle, pretty face. While she is said to be quite beautiful, she is also very reserved and thus tends to hide her face behind long bangs.
Byakura's vocal stat is her highest stat due to her soft, lilting vocals. However, she's very quiet and needs to put more effort into making herself heard before she can become a true vocal master.
Byakura's character is average. She truly enjoys singing and wants to continue it no matter what, but she is easily discouraged and cries quite a lot. Uane doesn't help.
Best Match: I want to say Hanazawa Kana, but she's kinda “taken”. The next best match is Horie Yui.
Rival: Chihaya, in a role model kind of way. Byakura greatly admires Chihaya and would love to one day perform alongside her. She aims to reach Chihaya's level of skill. Also, to a lesser extent, Yukiho. They have similar personalities and thus get along very well. Byakura would one day like to perform alongside her.

HORRAY! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED! AN IDOL WHO IS THE FAN LIKE ME!  ::) AND WHO IS WOICED BY YUI HORIE! 8)

By the way, could you draw Byakura without her long bangs? I'm sure she would be beautiful.


--- Quote from: Amazing_Grace on February 17, 2014, 03:29:53 am ---Name: Miyakawa Haru
Age: 17
B-W-H: 89-58-90
Hobbies: Journalism, Hop-scotch

Haru is a bit of a tomboy and enjoys writing above all else. Before becoming an idol, she worked as a “paper boy”, to earn money delivering newspapers and maybe get a bit of experience for her ultimate dream of being a newspaper reporter while she was at it. She is rather popular at her school for her fun and mature personality, her masculine-sounding voice, and her appearance. However, Haru always really enjoyed singing, and wished one day to be able to have a cute voice like the idols she saw on TV. Her real dream was sidetracked when she decided to become an idol herself, thinking the experience would help her with her short-term goal of having a cute voice. Her appeal caught the eye of the creator of the All-Stars group, who asked her to join up. Haru accepted, though one day she hopes to retire and write for the local newspaper.
Haru's dance stat is very average, as she doesn't tend to put much effort into her dance, but she is athletic and good at learning the choreography. Her dance style tends to be a bit lagging, and she sometimes falls behind.
Haru's visual stat is slightly above average, but not incredibly high. She has a nice figure and a pretty face, but she isn't particularly beautiful.
Haru's vocal stat is her highest stat due to the appealing masculine sound. However, it still isn't particularly high, as high-pitched notes give her a lot of trouble and cute songs sound awkward. But give Haru a song like Meisou Mind or even Futari no Kioku (the highest note in that song is about the edge of her limits), and she will give you an A+ example of her voice.
Haru's character is average. She gets discouraged rather easily and is quite restless. She's also a bit of a daydreamer and tends to get lost in thought when she should really be focusing on her idol activities. This makes her a bit difficult to manage sometimes.
Best Match: Yukana, when singing in her Cecelia Alcott voice. Actually, I want to say it's Sanpei Yuko, like how she sings as Ryo in DREAM, but she's "taken". And that would basically be stealing Ryo's voice. So Yukana.
Rival: Makoto, in a role model sort of way. Because both of them have the same goal of making themselves cuter, Haru is able to see the progress the other idol has made so far, and one day would love to compete against Makoto using only their cuteness appeal, which is near-non-existent for both of them as far as voice goes.
Best Friend: Miyuzaki, a friend from 331 Pro who wants to become more manly. Haru is always around to give her tips, and Miyuzaki is quick to teach Haru how to sound cuter as best as she can.
Fun Fact: Haru's mother gave birth to her when she was only 17, and later married another man. At the start of the story, Haru has a baby brother named Haku who she tends to gush about when given the chance. Also, like Byakura, Haru never removes her fedora.



Lol Haru why is your skin tone so derpy?
I'm actually quite a fan of Haru since she was one of my first characters. What do you guys think?

Also, I'm really sorry about the quality of these images. I really didn't expect them to be seen by anyone but me when I first drew them, and also I guess my scanner is a little derpy? Because the light and shadows are just...and gyaaaahhh...

--- End quote ---

It seems to me that Haru is a character who is usually funny, but can give a good advice if it needed, am I right?
Also, Yukana has one of the best low voices!
Have you heard about Megumi Toyoguchi? I think she can be a good alternative.

I like the fact that Soumin and Benima want to bring Ritsuko and Kotori on stage. GO GIRLS!

As you can guess, my favourities are Enra, Byakura, Haru, Mariko, Neku, Guru, Soumin, Benima, Ruka, Aime, Uane and Koko.
Could you post original images of Mariko and Neku? The girls are so beautiful. :)
