Introducing Kyung-Hu Yoon!

Kyung-Hu is a very popular virtual singing idol, under the alias of Byeol Nettie. She mainly focuses on rock ballads and interpretive dance. She is very shy, however, so she performs using a virtual idol that tracks her movements, kind of like a V-tuber. Things go very wrong for her, however, when she signs on with a new producer, who quickly begins to take advantage of the contract by using Kyung-Hu’s voice, dance style, and music writing style to train a generative AI to essentially take her identity and produce music without her. Kyung-Hu doesn’t fully understand that she’s being misused, however, and continues to create music for her producers only for them to claim that her work is worse than the AI’s work, and that it won’t sell.

Kyung-Hu is very shy, but is also incredibly emotional and empathetic. She really loves romance stories and the ocean. The ocean and its beaches hold sentimental value for her, because that was the place she created her first song.

Jun, Reese, Wren, Elda, Sylu, Kaddy are here

It’s Kaddy, my little menace to society <3

Kaddy’s graffiti can be seen all over the city’s buildings, fences, trains, you name it. She’s become a bit of an internet legend with her ability to get away with drawing all over everything without getting caught despite her loud and bright appearance.

Kaddy is dealing with the slowly declining heath of her grandfather (her only remaining relative). Kaddy, being determined to not end up in the foster care system and save her grandfather, has been taking more and more risks breaking into government facilities and stealing medicine developed from Ancient Alien DNA that claims to be able to heal what ails her grandfather. During one of her theft trips, however, Kaddy ends up stealing one of the Ancient Alien mecha/magical girl technologies, and bonding to it. Jun, Reese, and Sylu then have to track her down and convince her to officially join the team in exchange for giving her access to medicine for her grandfather. Kaddy is the 4th member to join after that.

Sylu Zaytsev, our local human experiment.

Sylu lives with her uncle, due to a series of events that resulted in her parents landing in legal trouble. Sylu just became a professional rifle shooter when she started experiencing the symptoms of a neurological disorder, causing her pain and dizzy spells. Desperate for a fix, Sylu signed on to experimental surgery that was “supposed to fix” her disorder. The result were a mixed bag at best, and permanently damaging at worst.

After finding out what happened, Sylu’s uncle started attempting to sue the surgeons that experimented on her. While she being examined by the biologists at the government facility during the suing process, she met Jun, Reese, and Elda, and made contact with the ancient alien technology and became a magical girl.

Jun Kigane, Reese Kigane, Wren Zerva, Elda Fayre

My micro biologist child, Elda Feyre!

Elda has been working with her mother in a government facility to uncover the ancient alien technology’s biological component. She and her mother tested the technology first on Wren (unwillingly on Elda’s part) which the technology rejected. Since the technology’s connection to Reese and Jun, Elda has been tasked with running diagnostics on the two girls, and learning the reason the technology connected to the people it did as opposed to others.

Elda is incredibly pragmatic and level headed. She has a secret desire to prove herself, however, both as a woman (she’s trans), and in her work. This drives her to work exceptionally hard at her craft. She also has some underlying conflict between her and her mother, as they run into ideological differences. Elda and Wren are childhood best friends.

Anyway, that’s Elda.

Sylu is our next magical girl!

It’s Reese’s magical girl form, Renegade!

Renegade is the face of the team, and usually is the one leading the girls in battle. She was also the character I had the hardest time coming up with a power set for. Since I’ve been basing each of my girls off of different war strategies (Jun’s based off of cyber attacks/drone usage), I figured it might be good to have Renegade’s power be environmentally based (since weather is often linked with success or downfall in war- i.e., invading Russia in the winter resulting in Germany’s loss). So since she’s a Mecha girl, I gave her electricity powers. I may extend the power to being able to control temperature and some small scale weather patterns as well, idk it’s up in the air still.

So yeah, that’s Renegade!
