Another figure piece! However, I don't have this figure... yet! >3<

Been watching idol shows (along with nick shows) a lot lately and just really want an excuse to talk about an old series I made while creating a new world. 

This is the modern era and the internet is a dominating aspect. The best platform is Millenia, a virtual world where anybody can be anyone. It is the start over everyone wants. It comes with a full body suit with sensors on it to track body language. 

In the song artist area it is becoming rough and competitive. No new singers have risen to the top of the charts or been shown. Among these singers are idols. They have formed a society of worshippers and endless unrequited love. They are nicknamed witches.

In Millenia, there is a underground place called Staged. It is disguised as a high school and has classrooms with stores, performances, or practice. It’s like a shopping mall. 

It is filled with witches who use the latest features like Effects and Changeable. Effects is the most popular feature where if an idol starts singing, she is surrounded by the images she chooses. Changeable is the second most popular feature where idols can switch outfits in the middle of any concert.

Enter a typical protagonist, a shy girl who cannot catch her big break. After her singing career flops, she decides to take the path as a witch. In the underground Millenia, she starts her training as an idol.

She meets four witches and learns how much harder it is to be an idol than a singer. She is memorizing dance moves, surveying the locals, learning about the fashion trends, going on variety streams, and trying to gain recognition among the other witches. 

She realizes on the way that her biggest fault is how lackluster she is. The four witches don’t take an interest in her and were just nice enough to help a newbie. She struggles to stand out against the crowd. Luckily, her previous singing experience is carrying her but for how long?

She faces backlash from the singing community for becoming a witch and started getting fan hate. Her mentality crumbles at this.

After many performances and having fun, she has somewhat established herself in the world of Staged and as a witch.

In her everyday life, she doesn’t really get along with her peers because of her serious nature. She is usually focused on school and turns to the internet for support. She finds out she really enjoys hanging out with the four witches and wants to really become their friends. 

I got the brand and outfit she would use! She would use LoLi GoThiC (from Aikatsu) and have a bit of a Victorian era vibe.

Ok, I know how boring the idol stuff I talked about the last time. I had to setup the groundwork for it though. Here’s the tournament arc.

A rich sponsor has shaken up the underground. They are hosting the very first idol tournament. The first place winner will get a record deal with a bonus.  For 3 months witches will perform and gain points to be able to compete. Only the top 10 can be the finalists. In order to rank up or down, witches will either have to win battles or do a lot of events to gain popularity. Any battles lost will have point deductions depending.

The sponsor has created a Vote feature to spice up the tournament. Whoever is the first to hype up most or the whole crowd, they get to do a flashy combo at the end of the song like a special dance move.

Everyone has picked up training and the competition culture is now in the underground. The friendly nature of concerts is over. 

The protagonist is having trouble keeping up with ranking but won’t slack in battles. She is sad to see her once close friends turn into rivals. She desperately tries to keep the friend group together with lots of fun collaborations and hangouts.

She barely scraps by with winning many large scale competitions and fan events. Three of her friends made it to the finale. She manages to gain the crowd vote and wow everyone with a new outfit, along with a new Effect.

The sponsor is impressed by this and reveals himself to be a pretentious heir. He gave witches a spotlight and got entertainment out of it too. 

The protagonist is not happy with winning and impulsively decides that he has to give a record deal to not only her but her four friends, or else she won’t take the prize. In a tough spot if he doesn’t sign someone, he signs all five of them.

The five of them are now a group and work as a unit. They have to build up their trust and chemistry before their first unit concert together or else they will be disbanded by the heir’s dad. The snobby heir is assigned their manager by his dad and has to keep up with all their schedules. 

Let me talk about the best arc in the series. They put the girls in skates and it was magical. Wish they kept that.

This time, the five girls are doing their solo careers and the protagonist stumbles upon ice skating idols. She goes to join them, but is unable to skate properly. A new friend helps her with training.

The protagonist is starting a new career and it is going well. Skating idols typically have a better reputation because their fanbase is not as toxic. The witch title still looms over her. 

The leader of the group is having the best time because a lot of the fans like her and her music.

Her two co-leaders are doing pretty good too. One decided to become a streamer and the other decided to do more acoustic covers for now.

The last person is not doing ok though. She has been the weakest link in the group and it is showing. She is lost in what to do and does not know what she wants. 

The protagonist has her join skating for now until she can find out what she wants to do.

It has been awhile since I posted about ideas towards my long continuing idol series. I'll change that now.

Last time, the new protagonist is a lackluster singer who aims to become an "idol" or witch of this universe. She's very plain in real life and is a serious hall monitor who cannot break the rules. She's dedicated to any type of task she takes on.

She aims to become friends with the 4 witches who helped on her idol journey and everyone else around her. She just does not know how and thinks becoming an idol will finally get her friends.

An evil company takes advantage of her aspirations and give her a record deal. She's so happy that she takes the very first one she ever got. Everyone can see that she's being used except her.

The company tells her lies like "do not interact too much with boys or the fans will never be your friends" and "say these lines or else you will not be good enough to have friends." They insist that the fans are her friends and that she should listen to them.

It all works towards her career. She becomes an angel to her fans and their "friend." She does not realize that the company is overpricing her products and having her blatantly show brands that do not fit her image.

Soon, she catches the eye of the 4 witch friends she made. They recognize her and the company's schemes. They think it is wrong and talk to her about it.

The protagonist does not believe them. She believes that her managers and the bosses in the company are her friends, on her side. She thinks they're better friends than those 4 girls.

Now because this is an idol series. they definitely need to have a sing-off. She proposes doing the Vote battle and show that she is behind her company.

The protagonist wins because of how popular she is, but she is not happy. She reviews what she really wants and she realizes that she did not want all this. She wanted to befriend the people around her and she has pushed them away.

She chooses to leave the company in the end and go back to just being a singer, leaving behind the witch world and the people she met.

I have been on a roll with these idol series lately. Here is another one.

Maybe a gang wants to target a specific family, but cannot do so alone.

In a bar, there is a singer who works for the gang and cannot escape. She has already accepted her fate of working for them forever. One day, they need a girl to go to an idol competition and befriend the girl.

A big company is holding auditions to find the next big star. The target ran away from her home to become a singer. The company makes sure that they cannot disguise themselves in the virtual world for auditions at least.

The gang decides that the singer has to be the one to do the auditions since she is the only option. They doll her up and make sure she looks as trendy as possible.

In the auditions, she eyes the target and befriends her. Since the next round requires duos, they decide to team up together since they are such good friends.

The protagonist had been made to practice for the auditions in the bar every single day. She was able to memorize the audition song and the dance moves. The judges are very impressed by how precise and talented she is, but she is lacking a bit of aura.

On the other hand, the target has so much charisma and spirit that she is able to pass. She is able to charm the judges and they really think she is the ideal girl for the company.

Later on in the next round, they have to coordinate together to be able to create the perfect duo. The target has an eye for fashion and what looks good so she makes sure they are on top of that. The protagonist makes sure they are able to practice often and be able to know the song.

The two bond over their experiences together. They find out that they do really love singing and have the dream of being big one day. They like the same clothing too and are able to work well. The protagonist finally learns what makes this target special to everyone and channels the friendship into her future performances.

The protagonist's gang notices that she is different and performs differently. Instead of adding atmosphere music to the bar, she is charming everyone there with her new energy. She gets a lot of requests and the gang is starting to see big potential in her.

That's all I got since I am sleepy.
