Utau Hoshina

Warning, there will be spoilers, angst, violence, and more angst. And probably some angst. You have been warned, and Utau will have no pity for you if you see something you wish you hadn't.

When the portal opened to grant egress to Demyx, the street where he came out wouldn't be all that unusual. A slightly more crowded more built up Twilight Town, perhaps. More buildings more closely packed together, people bundled against the lingering chill in the air passing each other on the streets, some stopping to chat, others lost in their own thoughts.

The people are fairly uniform, in that they all seem to be human, and all dressed similarly enough in bundled hats and coats and scarves.His coat really only would stand out because it didn't look warm enough. But someone in a long coat, gloves, and boots.... would not stand out at all.

it might have seemed the perfect world to hide on. Boring and tame and safe. There was even a flyer on a nearby power pole for a concert held at Easter Stadium featuring Darts and Utau Hoshina. Whoever they were. But still, a concert is a concert. This world likes music.

Yep, the world was almost idyllic for hidung away in, not even a sniff of a Heartless.... and then.... something dark went flying right past his face. it looked like an egg of all things...

And if that wasn't odd enough, it had flown straight as if launched, but it skidded in midair and flew back to him, making odd muffled noises as it started to circle his head, as if curious about him.

Name:Chicklet
Contact: ChickletLARP (Plurk)
Other Characters: Also apping Kairi on the other side.
Character Name: Utau (Tsukiyomi) Hoshina
Age: 16
Species: Human/Chara Bearer
Canon: Shugo Chara
Canon Point: History wise, she is from after she has started to help Amu, before Death Rebel was defeated. So she was on the side of good, albeit somewhat shakily, and learning to be nicer. She was making friends with Kukai, and coming to terms with the fact that Ikuto will never be in love with her, that he loves Amu, and that... that's okay. It has to be okay. Because she can't love for him anymore. However, personality wise, she spent her years as a star working for the villains, being dark, snappish, short tempered and in touch with her inner devil. that's how she will be, in game.
Character Info: Two eggs, three when they're scrambled.
Personality: Utau was becoming a nicer person, though she will always be competitive, focused, and driven. In any universe. Before the Black Diamond arc ended (which took her from a fence sitter second string baddie to the main villain) she had focused more on the devil within her. Unlike most Chara Bearers, Utau had two eggs, two versions of who she wanted to be - an Angel and a Devil. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she let Easter control her, she agreed to do their dirty work, she obeyed well, and was the neat little puppet. Because her single driving goal was to save Ikuto. She put her all into it, and nearly broke herself in the process. It took Amu's guardian Dia, and her own guardians, Il and El all to show her how far she had fallen. For someone who would never love her the way she loved him. She had let Easter turn her singing, her music, into something dark and twisted, let them use her music to steal the dreams of the children who admired her. Something in her broke, when Dia abandoned her, when she realized that she was truly alone, as long as she stayed on this path. Il and El who were parts of her own soul had joined the enemy in hopes of saving her from what she was becoming.

She was still competitive, and her friendship with Kukai (not yet acknowledged as romance at this canon point though there might be some mutual crush) generally focused around trying to beat him, usually at ramen eating contests. She is still determined to be a singer, but Easter is slandering her, and she is more or less on her own. But she's determined, and she is making it. Not the success she had under Easter, but most of her small venue shows are sold out. She works hard, but is always disappointed when Ikuto fails to even show up to watch her. She drafts Amu and Amu's friends into helping her pass out flyers, and set the stage, and surprisingly grows close to Amu, who she once hated.




Genre Preferences: J-pop/pop/rock/electronica
Choice Instrument: Vocals. Vocals. Vocals. Vocals. She can't put down Vocals enough times on anything. She's been singing since she was a small child, and it is all she's ever wanted to do. Well, that and marry her brother. But that's a whole other mess.
Rockstar Persona: Like she was when she worked for Easter. She is focused on her inner devil, though there are hints of an angel in there. She rudely pushes people away, makes them think she hates them... because she knows she is poison. She pushes people away to keep them out of her reach, to keep them safe from all she is made to do. She is cold and cruel, judgemental, and standoffish. She will be exacting with her crew, and will not hesitate to tell them if they aren't performing to standard. She will play the Diva willingly. Even if she pieces together enough to realize, or one of the would heroes makes her realize that she's being used, she wont care. She remembers selling her soul for something important, more important than her whole life, and if she doesn't remember what, that doesn't make it any less true.
She will have a weakness for violin music, however, and cat boys, though she won't know why. (Ikuto was a violin playing cat boy when he chara changed, and always played when she sang, even when they were children). If she finds one, he may be the only one to ever see past the diva. She doesn't like to show insecurity or weakness, ever, but like she changes and becomes all cutesy over Ikuto in season one, there is the potential for that if someone fills that gap in her heart. If there is ever an Ikuto among the rescuers, she will probably start fighting then, but SC is apparently VERY niche, so I doubt that will happen. Especially if there is no Amu in play. Ikuto avoids his sister, and I can't imagine an Ikuto player running towards an Utau.
Also, in canon, Utau makes it clear that people who have to play dirty to win disgust her. She actually joins the good guys early on for one battle, because one of the others in Easter has stooped too low. However, her manager comes to his side and chides Utau for switching loyalties, which does nothing. Until she reminds Utau why she is helping Easter. "Or... don't you want to save Ikuto?" In a flash Utau is transformed and warning Amu and her friends to get out of there, or she will make them leave. Rockstar Utau will be acting as if that reminder is always there. She hates playing dirty, but will... if she has to. Whatever hold they have over her will keep driving her. She has to obey. She agreed for a very important reason, and not remembering that reason isn't enough. She'll hate herself. But she'll do what she has to do.

But yeah, that's Rockstar her in a nutshell, a regression back to the edge of Black Diamond. Cold, distant, harsh. Utau in full devil mode is like a frozen winter wind, if it was trying to compete to be the best wind ever.
Ideal CR:
1) someone to compete with, someone who will keep taking her challenges, will keep challenging her. Utau shines brightest in the presence of a rival.
2) a violin playing cat-boy. Because that would be hilarious. Failing that, someone playing violin, and playing it well. If this someone is not in her band, she will try to drag him or her into her band. Her voice sounds better to Violin, okay. She doesn't know why, it just does.
3) It isn't an act here, the way it was back home, but here? I'd love someone to call her out over this.
4) Someone as cold and harsh as she is, someone she can argue and hate and be hated by
5) The bad influence - someone to play the role of Il or Dark Dia. Someone to guide her to darker and darker acts.
6) The good influence - someone to play El's role, someone who believes there is some good in her (even if it is buried down deep and twisted and not good by anyone's definition except as compared to how she is the rest of the time). Someone to see in her what was there in canon, and pretty much wont exist in game.
7) Kingdom Hearts and/or Star Wars because they share so many themes.
8) Her manager and bandmates. She wants to be the best, to do her job, so she will probably do most of her talking to them, unless someone else catches her interest.
