Crowvette though, if you're still around, feel free to start up your after hours activities.

@ERode

Okay bit late to the party here (quite a work week for me) but should I just cut to after the handshake event or did you have something in mind to happen during the event?

After Era Mythos

So sorry for being late. Didn't realize how busy things would be yesterday.

Kirara's posture relaxed considerably when Cas introduced himself as a hero himself, but only for a moment - she immediately stiffened when she caught her faux pas. Cas led the conversation away from the topic before she could apologize, but she had to take that as a sign that he didn't mind.

Kirara fidgeted a little as Cas praised her. She was no stranger to praise, but it felt different coming from a fellow talent. "Hmm... It's like..." She furrowed her brow as she clearly paused to think about it more. It might look like this was the first time she was asked this question with how much she thought on it, though it was hard to believe that was the case.

After a moment she had gathered her thoughts enough to speak up once more. "When I was young, I always watched S-" She caught herself and shot a quick look at her producer before returning to her thought. "-A property owned by a different company so they don't want me to say it directly-" She laughed nervously for a moment. "...But in that story, everyone worked so hard to become idols, and they all had moments where they found some special way to make it their own..." Kirara closed her eyes, fondly looking back at it in her mind. "I thought I could do it, so I did it! Idols have already saved people without powers, so I bet that one with hero powers could take it even further!!" She opened her eyes and nodded to herself, apparently satisfied with that answer.

Kirara cocked her head after a moment, coming up with her own question in turn. "Say, why did you become a hero, then?"

@Yankee

Feel free to continue conversing with the boi, Crowvette. Will otherwise update for the others once Psykers and maybe Taka post.

@ERode

I'll try and get a post in the next 24 hours!

Her producer's enthusiasm always made Kirara smile, but riding the high of a good performance only further fired her up. "I feel like I already have a million!!" She nearly bounced into the seat to let her makeup and hair be touched up.

While she was never exactly the best at staying still for the stylists, she almost knocked the brush out of someone's hands when she heard that people from Summit were visiting. "Summit?! I need to make sure my hair is-" She stopped as her thoughts caught up to her mouth, realizing someone was tending to her hair right now. "-Ahaha... Right. N-No way it's a movie deal... Right?"

Kirara let the stylist finish the final few touches before getting up to meet the people from Summit. She had no trouble giving a bright smile as they entered. "Hello! I didn't know I had fans from Summit!" She offered her hand to Cas for a handshake, but kept on talking. "I hope the music was as moving as your movies!" She gave a little laugh. "Where in Summit do you work? Are you a writer?"

Despite her warm greeting, it was evident enough that she didn't recognize Cas.

"Thank you everyone! I love you all!!" Kirara did a turn on stage, giving a scan of the concert attendees as she waved to them all. She had just delivered the "last" song of the concert, but of course it was common knowledge amongst fans that there would be an encore. She quickly stepped off stage, not wanting to take too much time to change costume before she had to get back on stage.

As she ducked into a dressing room, she could hear the cheering for the encore. For this particular leg of the concert, she was advised to wear merch for the encore - the special t-shirt and towels this time. She was used to changing quickly, so it didn't provide much issue. She used the opportunity to catch her breath for a moment.

The cheering was getting louder - or perhaps some specific super fans were simply deciding to raise their voices to the limit to try and stand out. Faye couldn't take up any more of their time waiting to rest, plus, she was just as fired up as the fans were. This was hardly the largest venue she had performed at, only seating a thousand or so, but she always treated any performance with the same amount of care. She took one last big breath before stealing back onto the stage. The lights were off to let her get on without being seen, but also to let her show off her own ability.

For a moment the crowd's voices died down, reacting to the dimming of the lights. Faye smiled to herself, and raised up one arm in a striking pose. A halo of light glowed all around her, clearly coming from Faye herself and not any kind of stage equipment. It became brighter to match the raising of the audience's voices until it illuminated the whole stage, and with a snap the music began to play.

With a dazzling smile Kirara led the cheers of the crowd along with the music, bounding along the edges of the stage as the music's intro played. "Thank you all for coming tonight!! Don't forget stay for the handshake event too right afterwards!! Let's goooo!" She immediately transitioned right into one of her most popular tracks, Diamond Fire. She had performed it plenty of times, but the added focus of controlling the light in addition to the song and choreography made it feel fresh all over again for her. Of course, she hoped it would be fresh for the fans too - as she bended and manipulated the light in ways a normal light setup could never. Her personal favorite was the light distortions she managed at the chorus which looked exactly like heat shimmers, as if her song was heating up the stage itself.

She hoped that the crowd-pleaser song would be the perfect pick to end the concert on, and put her all into this last song.

Kirara

It's everyone's favorite idol, Kirara! Who hasn't heard at least one of her chart-topping hits? Or seen a cross-promotion live show featuring her? Nothing stops her from reaching her beloved fans, not even bad weather or a villain's schemes! Even if there's no power to the stage, she'll provide a light show all by herself! She shines so bright that she can even shoot laser beams!! Of course, that won't be a problem for you... Unless you're trying to stop her. But who would do that? Nobody?!

You'll definitely come to see her, right?

Character Sketch

In truth, Kirara is Faye Brescia. She was recruited in middle school as an idol by the up-and-coming 72ka Production, and rose in rank as the production agency began to become successful. By the time she graduated, she was one of the most popular idols produced by the agency, and was approached by the President themselves to take a bold new step with the fame and influence she and her company had gained - this time, as a hero. Whether this was something they decided to do after the fact, or the intent of the production company wasn't something she bothered asking about. In truth, all she was interested in was reaching more people, so she agreed.

Outside of her idol activities, she maintains her intense and positive attitude, rarely letting anything get her down for long. Many speculated if her public-facing idol side is a facade, but most that encounter her in person know it's just how she is. Her penchant to shrug things off may appear like airheadedness to some, and to others just a resolve to ignore things she doesn't care for.

Agency: 72ka Productions was a small production agency that promoted local idols and similar small musical acts, and only recently began to have enough traction to enter the area of heroes. Kirara is their first foray into the realm of the hero circuit. They produce conventional music tracks, organize live shows, and produce various other idol activities such as brand promotions, photo shoots, talk shows, among others.

Fame Level: 150,000
Concept: An idol who shines so bright the light protects her.

Extra Curriculars: As a top idol in her agency, she has a packed schedule recording and performing music. On top of the aforementioned idol activities, she has a soft spot for voice acting and often takes on roles when she can for animated shows and games.

After Era Mythos

Some NPCs:

Lily Herstal - Childhood friend of Faye who entered 72kaPro as a songwriter at the same time Faye signed as an idol.

Mr. Schuler - Faye's producer, who always seems a bit overworked yet gets the job done somehow.

Emma Gepard- Faye's personal trainer who was appointed recently to help her with the move to Talents. As a result she's not really much of an idol person.

@Crowvette
I will choose to pretend that Kirara is just a sound, rather than a specifically Japanese onomatopoeia. But it'll be kinda a landmine, so long as you're good with bearing possible consequences.

Anyways, I'll say that 72ka Productions is still an up-and-coming agency despite Kirara's relative success. The most popular idol produced by them being only known by 150,000 people in Neo-Astraea speaks volumes kekeke. Out of curiousity, why did she personally decide to get into the Talent business? She could have continued just being a regular idol, increasing her Fame without having to like, throw hands with people for real and putting on an even thicker stage persona than regular celebrities.

It'd probably be the case that Kirara would be playing in a sidekick/support/background noise role for larger Heroes, unless 72ka would push her into dealing with 'real' emergencies and incidents in the way that AGC Rising would.

@ERode

I'm not married to that particular stage name tbh, perhaps I was off base with that particular choice. There are other sparkly onomatopoeia names I could pick without any issue.

Perhaps a little bit that I should've included in the original sheet was that I kind of have a bit of a mental image of 72ka being a company that has some hidden expertise (perhaps started up by someone who broke off from a successful entertainment company to forge their own path?), though I'm not exactly sure how that might factor into the plot or events. If you think it might be a good tidbit for story, then cool, otherwise meh it's not super important.

As for why she's went towards Talents, I think it's best to just say that she's interested in pushing her performance into a completely new dimension. It's not necessarily that she wanted this in particular, but it was just the kind of wild move that appeals to her so she went with it.

I'm fine with her playing support, I think having such a blindingly positive character would be a fun foil to several existing characters and I'm no stranger to playing characters on the weaker side anyway.

After Era Mythos

I am stuck on the real name right now (have a placeholder name as is in the sheet) but I've got most of the other stuff filled in. Hopefully.

The image is subject to change (or a better version being made) but I think this is a good gist of it so far.
