bio: (sibling death mention,family death mention)
Born a twin, his sister Himoko Ooshi were inseparable. Growing up their father was the distant type. Caring but always putting them at an arms length. Himoko often wondered why this would happen but Dai reassured her that it wasnβt her.Β
Still they both had dreams, to get out of Flushing and go live on their own. Both of them had different dreams; Himoko a tap dancer and Dai an opera performer, but they couldnβt deny Astronomical Boys and Girls would be a jumpstart. Who can resist twins after all.Β
Of course fate had other plans,the qualification stress test, Himoko learning of her healing powers after being separated made her rethink her plans. But she pushed Dai to audition anyway. There was a look in her eyes that made him believe everything was okay as she became a minor recurring emt on realhero tv.Β
So off he went to the season, Sunny already had a name bestowed upon him due to a bright yellow rental suit he got to audition. Charming audiences with his baritoneΒ rendition of Meat Loafβs - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That).Β
The shock of even placing as second runner up was great . He remember his sister coming on stage and hugging him tight. That high lasted about a few weeks.
From that day forward he became Equinoxβs leader, the cute one who grew up fast. Some people like the broody side but if you asked Dai he was going through the motions.Β
He remembered it was a random day, equinox reached six months- a few days before their birthday-yet as he was wiping sweat off REaltv played and e say his sister. What started as a quiet cheer turned to devastion before the feed come off. Sunny excused himself that day citing stomach pains but came back the next day.
Now on top of the hero business, he just wanted ease, after twenty years even he deserved thatΒ
musings:
OPTIONAL MUSING QUESTIONS:
Do they see their permutation as a blessing or a curse?
Dai lit the cigarette between his fingers. Each twirl quiet and deliberate. He finally spoke. βMy sister, she went into the burning building to save those civilians.β He sighed. βBut the lightning she liked when we did the trick with balloons.β He put out the cigarette. βItβs a bit of both.β They finally conceded.Β
At what age did their permutation manifest? Was it at a National Stress Reflex Test?
There was a snort when Dai heard the question. βIt was planned by the stars.β There was an eye roll. βThatβs what Iβm supposed to say right?β Another pause. βEighteenth birthday- stress test-that stupid face your fear room. Mid test they decided on me and my sister need to separated. Next thing I knew I was in a maze - and I made it hotβ¦β Dai took a deep breath holding the onyx charm on his neck. Restrain yourselfΒ Β
βMy dad always called me a fucking hothead.βΒ
What are their feelings on the βprofessional heroismβ industry as a whole?
There was a shrug. βIt does help othersβ¦.β He relented for a moment. βYou have to admire those who do it.β He took out another cigarette. βBut I think some forget that power comes at a price.β He remarked. βWhatβs that saying either die a hero or grow to become a villian-I guess Iβm the later.βΒ
If your muse is a βheroβ, do they have a steward alias? If your muse is signed to an agency, was this alias chosen for them by the company, or is it something they came up themselves?
βBeing the leader of Equinox isnβt that shit. Shaider was on the box of a model plane set. It sounded cool enough.β He hummed. βFirestorm was a close second butΒ made me sound like a fucking horse.β
wanted connections:
I liked you better when you were a no-one- someone who liked Dai before the fame can go any direction tbh
The Calm to my storm- someone who knows how to cool Dai down but very deep of a bond
When in Rome....-hookups possibly fans or someone that wanted Dai's connections-no strings attached more connections
Business Buds- well more phorographed together buds, the one walking beside him that happened to get hit with photos that day

Yiming had been half-leaning against the counter, scrolling through his phone while waiting for the takeout order his sister insisted he pick up. He loved her, but Jeong's was closer to her neighborhood, not his, and he privately thought her husband could have handled the pickup.
But the food isn't ready yet, and he doesn't want to hover near the counter, so he drifts toward a quieter corner of the restaurant to stand out of the way.
That's when the man at the corner table looks up at him.
He doesn't look like his larger-than-life persona -- Gray hair, glasses, graphic tee. A stack of books -- but Yiming has long since memorized the faces of the real talent at Kardinal Supers.
Yiming's first thought is: He looks like someone trying very hard not to be recognized.
Yiming's second thought is: Why are none of these people ever with a bodyguard?
He blinks, caught off guard by being greeted. He surreptitiously checks to make sure someone else isn't being addressed but the shop is quiet.
"Uh," he starts, allowing another moment just in case Sunny has an earpiece in or something. But Sunny is continuing to steadily look at him, waiting for a response. "Fine. Just picking up food." he gestures toward the counter. "It's not ready yet."
Yiming shifts his weight, glancing at the books on the table. He can't see any titles from this angle, just a block of text and a worn spine.
He's unsure if he's supposed to keep the conversation going or go back to pretending he was absorbed in his phone. He doesn't want to be rude, be he also doesn't want to intrude. After a beat, he adds, neutrally, "You're reading something heavy."
If Sunny was trying not be recognized, he was doing a horrible job. Because in the brief moment their eyes met, there was some recognition.
Sunny was frozen for a moment. This was a face he saw. A face that he frequently passed in headquarters. The type that wasn't seen so often but was like a footnote in his brain.
Sonic-fuck he forget his real name.
Sunny's first thought was: He looks composed but doesn't want to be here.
Sunny's second thought was: Shit I look like some divorced adjunct professor.
There was an awkward laugh.
"It takes a bit long but the wait is worth it." Sunny remarked with those lopsided grins- the types that certainly far from media trained he usually gives.
There was almost a look of relief when the subject changed to the books.
βA Challenge for the Actor" Sunny remarked holding up the book. "It's very interesting the way the author describes her methodology." Sunny remarked. "I do have to stop every few pages to look something up."
Sunny looked around for a moment adjusting his glasses through the countless books. He picked up one that was more threadbare.
"The Joy of Music." Sunny said with a small sad grin, as if he was remembering something. "Time flies when you read this one."
Sunny shook his head trying to focus back on Yiming. He held out the book.
"You can read it if you want-" He offered too eagerly, Sunny cleared his throat. He had a reputation to keep. The older took off his glasses trying to be the stoic leader again.
Anna comes swanning into Jeong's after work ready to report on her attempts to scout romantic prospects for her son. Those prospects were currently nonexistent -- absolutely not Anna's fault, she's a great matchmaker -- but also technically she hasn't met Mrs. Jeong's son, so she's still undefeated.
The place smells as incredible as the last time she was there, and she spends a few moment planning which dish she'll try to charm out of Mrs. Jeong if the conversation goes well. She heads to the counter, leans in, and asks if the proprietor is around. The person operating the register gives her a polite "one moment" and gestures toward the waiting area.
Fine by her -- she's patient. Especially when free food is on the line.
She drifts toward the corner, scanning for a place to perch that isn't in the way of paying customers when she notices him. He looks vaguely familiar in the way everyone in New Everwick looks vaguely familiar to her. She's pleasantly surprised that he seems both friendly and has a seat open across from his pile of books.
Ah, she knows what's going on here. He's hitting on her. She can't go anywhere these days without getting the ol' 'open with a joke to see if she bites.'
Anna has never met a conversation she didn't want to be part of, so she definitely bites. Well, she doesn't bite, but she's also not rude.
"Yeah," she replies, "it's a hazard of the species."
She gestures toward the empty chair across from him.
"Mind if I hover? I'm waiting on someone."
She waits a beat, giving him plenty of space to say no if he's actually trying to study.
She huffs a soft laugh at his question, leaning her hip against the back of the chair.
"How was my day?" she echoes. "Honestly, weird. Full of questionable decisions. You?"
She studies him again, now that she's closer. He's handsome, sure, in a way that feels curated but he also looks familiar -- like she's seen him on the train or yelling at a pigeon somewhere. She squints at him, trying to place it.
"What about you? Studying for fun or studying to impress someone?"
Maybe Sunny should have learned to pay attention to his surroundings.Because of course he would get himself in a mess.
Sunny probably was too stunned how quick she talked and walked around. It was interesting to say the least. Sunny tried to look like he was reading his book full of ancient acting methods.
There was a silence on his end the type of silence when it dawns on you that you fucked up. The leader cleared his throat.
"How questionable?" Sunny asked slowly, praying it was not going to attract hordes of people or cameras. Because the last thing he needed was the paparazzi following him to his safe spot.
Sunny saw her squint and his heart skipped a beat.
Please don't let my cover be blown.
His shoulders rounded for a moment before his eyes evenly get her...ever changing ones. That face was really familiar-in a core memory you locked for years type of way. They were older yes, but it felt...recognizable.
"Today it's just for educational purposes. Self-teaching and all..." Sunny said now probably staring at her face. There was another pause.
"By any chance did you go Marlboro Middle School?" Sunny asked the words forming faster than the actual thought.
The words had been said. She smiles. But she makes sure that she remembers to have the tears. Magarian wanted more of the tears, less of the cutesy. Those words keep playing back in her head. For a moment, she doesn't look at the chat. She needs to keep talking. A slight fear lingers on. Now that she was out, more questions were to come. If it had been a video, it would have been posted with comments.
sooooo you datingggg?
singlee or takenennnnn queeeennnnnnn
CHECK OUTT THE GUYYYY AND SIRENNNN FANFIC SLOWBURN FRIENDS TO LOVERS, FORBIDDEN LOVEEE SECRET RELATIONSHIPPPPP
you dipped a girl? and kisses a girl....you like girls.
But here she sat in her apartment, in live time, the world is watching. There was no time for her just to process. That is when the panic sinks in a little bit. For a few moments she sits there a little in silence. Comments rolling in faster than before.
is she talking??
laggggggg?!?!?
HELLLOOOOOO SIRENNNNNNNN
CHECKOUT MY AxieL POLY SHIPPPPPPP I NEED BETAREADERRRSSS
.....wow nothing to say.
she is single clearly.
BRING YOUR PARTNER OUT ON STREAM SMOOCH FOR PRIDE
SMOOCH FOR PRIDE!!!!!!
Opening her mouth only to shut it for a moment. The before was the only moment that she had prepared for. Everything after, her mind went a little bit blank. She was single. With a crush on someone who she would clearly never be able to have. Kissed Anna by accident. And is just...just taking it one moment at the time.
"Um sorry." she whispers to the stream. "That's just a lot of questions and I..."
She get distracted as her DMs light up, the custom vibration on her tablet. A little something for Sunny. She smile soft, it was a small gesture but thinking of Sunny, the confidence she exuberated reminders her the way she needs to be.
"Sunny was just messaging me happy birthday." Smiling softly at the camera a little bit of pain there but hopes that is anyone can see through it. There is a light nod from her,"Thank you Sunny that is so sweet of you. Anything will do."
Sunny read the chat with a carefulness. The type of carefulness needed to not have another Kardinal Scandal but at least enough to show some support. And for the leader on paper, that was hardest part. To be there but not there enough.
The minute he heard his name he switched to the main chat there and paid a bit to be the highlighted message
π sunnyequinox: cool see you in a bit
π sunnyequinox: πππ
Sunny briefly put his phone on do not disturb mode and began walking with more earnest. Sunny began to do his box breaths. You can not explode-no matter how much it pisses you off.
He went to a series of stores. He got a small bubble machine , those cupcakes that look like cookie monster , and a stationary set he probably paid far too much for.Still he went in the direction of the newpoint vistas.
The elder finally arrived by the doorway, giving a firm but gentle knock. He knew that he couldn't stop this stream, but he could at the very least make it better for Siren.
Now Sunny and Jaylen probably got along as well as mentos and coke in a bottle. And Sunny admittely had some unresolved issues. But in a month of love and acceptance maybe....Sunny can attempt to be at least 3% less of an asshole. Baby steps.
sunny: Hey do you want to hang out (deleted)
sunny: sorry that shit happened, we should get a coffee and talk (deleted)
sunny: we might have our differences but admire your talent in a sense. I never really said it and I hope (deleted)
After several moments to himself and a deep breath sunny finally texted
sunny: you like retro stuff right like those vinyl records
sunny: whats like one you really like
sunny: thats hot shit
sunny: not hot like you or me, like earworm hot

Date: June 6th (6/6 get it )
Location: Jeongs
Prompt: local celebrity wants to study but he was hungry
Content warning: Food
Sunny probably didn't look like himself as he entered the restaurant. Whatever dyed remains of his hair has replaced with gray hair and usual clothing replaced with some ironic graphic tee.
He settled into the corner spot in the restaurant, pausing to quickly wipe the surface before sitting. He settled his books down and wore his glasses.
"No bullshit. Just try to read something
Sunny was neck deep in reading something about the philosophy of acting. Admittely probably neck deep into the book. Would it get him a role in a future- probably not. But would it at least make seem he had a shallow knowledge of being an actor-he didn't know.
The equinox leader rubbed his eyes with exhaustion. So much had already happened the first few days alone. Even by New Everwicks standards, Sunny was getting whiplash.
And there was that unshakable feeling in his bones-that he might have known that girl in the photo. Sunny pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Stop thinking of that shit Sunny, you'll only get your ass burned."
Sunny briefly looked up seeing a figure in front of him. Sunny cleared his throat.
"Studying while hangry, happens to the best of us." He said in his soft spoken baritone voice. There was a beat. "How was your day?"
βΛβΛ.β’ΛΛwhat:Β eeshika's annual birthday livestream...turned coming out confession
βΛβΛ.β’Λwho:Β eeshika with mentions of David Magarian & OPEN
βΛβΛ.β’Λwhere :eeshika's apartment, newpoint vistas, Brooklyn
βΛβΛ.β’ΛΛwhen:Β 1st June, 2022...Eeshika's Birthday
βΛβΛ.β’ΛΛcontent warning:Β implied homophobia, forced coming out.
Coming out....on livestream....on her birthday....wasn't exactly on Eeshika's birthday bingo card.
It has become somewhat a tradition at Kardinal for each member to host an annual birthday livestream. One that Eeshika looked forward too every year more than the last. For an hour or so, just her and the fans sharing heartfelt birthday wishes, inside jokes and teasing a few ships here and there and leaving more questioned unanswered than before. Sure, there was the odd troll or hater here or there during them but those negative voice were easily washed over by the supportive ones that reminded her why she liked being Siren. The support her fandom had offered her.
A support that she hopes will be present even more so today.
Exhaling slowly, as her scheduled livestream was only moments away. Her eyes drifting to her own reflection on her unlit phone screen, Eeshika tries to tug a smile onto her face. It felt wrong. It felt forced. How her cheeks ached trying to smile.
Shutting her eyes trying to compose herself. And yet, all she can hear David Magarian's voice echo in loud and clear. βYouβre going to make one of those βcoming outβ videosβbut donβt play up that whole cutesy thing you got going on, be serious. Itβs better if you cry, but if you canβt ask Makeup to hook you up with those menthol cry sticks.β His voice hadn't left her since, as it kept repeating at a snare drum.
After all, this was him giving her grace. Giving her second chance. As this was letting her off easy. Eeshika should feel grateful as they were allowing her some agency over her story, even though it was not a corner that she wanted to find herself in.
She bites down on her lip, waving her shaking hands in front of herself, not needing the tears to fall down yet. Clearing, her throat a little, running through some vocal runs to make sure her voice would not crack right away. A sip of tea to calm her nerves and a pile of sweet treats ready to celebrate alone when she was done.
Setting her phone down on the tripod, as she angles the ring light just right to create the perfect highlight in her doe like eyes. With a finger she heads to AlterEgo, her finger pressing down on the live. The red light begins to flash. Siren sit's down on her coach with a mutual background. Her bright smile plastered on her face, using two hands to wave to the audience.
"Hello, hello, welcome on in my lovelies!" Her voice held with a practiced cheer as her views count climbed from zero to the hundreds then flickered into the thousand. Her chat starting to explode with birthday emojis, birthday wishes filled with love and cheer, making the smile on her face brighter than the ones before. Leaning in closer to the screen to read the comments which at the most are positive.
And then the flood comes in. Not even five minutes in, people are already asking about the photos. Tagging people that the chat moves in such a fast blur it is hard for her to keep up with it all. There was no means to avoid it. It was to be now or never. O
She sits back, her back a little straighter as she looks into the camera. "Thank you all for being here for my birthday stream and for such lovely message already they truely do mean a lot."
haappuy birthdayy sireeeen
hiiiiii birthdayyyyyy queen??!!?
OMG SIREN-PI NOTICEEEEE MEEEEE?!?!?
EARLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
She pauses fiddling with her fingers. "Um but I do think before we get into the birthday festivities. I think that I need to address a few things that have been going on for the past couple of months as they have been causing quite a bit of noise and it is only fair that I address them. It isn't apart of me that I want to hide."
"Most of you know that I am talking about the photos that have been going around online...particularly the most recent ones of me. I know there are a lot of questions."
u datingggg the gurl or the guyyy?!?!
TELL US WE NEED TO KNOW?!?! TELL US YOUR GIRLFRIEND?
EWWWWW QUEERBAITING IN JUNE?!? NO WAY!! NOT YOU SIREN!!!!
IS THERE STILL HOPE?!?! BE MY GIRLFRIENDD??!?!
"I think that I need to address a few things that have been going on the past couple months. As it is only fair that I do address. It isn't apart of me that I want to hide."
"The kiss wasn't a mistake," Siren confesses softly her eyes getting glassy as the reluctant confession is heavy on her chest., "It is actually a part of who I am."
She pauses allowing the words to leave her mouth."I'm bisexual."
tHErE IS hOpe for all of US
waiittttt noooooo....SHE LIKES ALL OF US?!?!
SHE IS SUCH A BICON
nope. not a siren stand no more.
BUT IS THE CRYPTIC YOURRR GF?!??!?!
wait....she dating AXIEL AND EXQIONICE CREW?!?
we SUPPORT YOU!!!
wow....coming out now during pride. ewww.
"With the photos out, honestly, there was a part of me that was scared to saying something about this," she admits, letting out a shaky laugh, "Certainly with with all the shipping stuff I'm known for." Her smile slightly softens ,"But I've been really lucky. AxieL, Kardinal have been incredibly supportive. They've never made me feel like I need to hide who I am. They've offered me a safe space to just...be." Biting down on her lip, glancing down at her hands in her lap, "So...yeah...I just wanted to be honest with you all. I feels....kinda good to say it out loud."
Exhaling, as she leans in a little closer to read the comments, her eyes moving the flood of messages that blur and shift too quickly to fully make out. Using her finger to scroll over them wondering the main reaction would be.
The make or break of her livestream.
honest?! what a bunch of BS. why are you being honest now?
urghh....yawn. okay and? isn't everyone like bi?!
BUT WHICH SHIP IS CANONNNNN!??!

proud of you <3 <3 <3 <3
IS THIS NEW INFORMATION? cause like seriously.....
Content warning: some mentions of smoke and fire, smoking
Sunny never enjoyed the birthday livestreams.
If he had to count the number of Hallows Eve streams he did in his time, Sunny would get maybe a gift card.
But something felt off about this one. Between the photo and the birthday post. There was a sinking feeling in his stomach
They wouldn't....
Sunny logged into the stream, maybe Kardinal had some semblance of decency....
But as it started he could utter.
"Don't let this be a shit show"
There were very few times Sunny would sit down. This was one of them. His fingers reaching for a cigarette to twirl bwteen his fingers.
"Hello, hello, welcome on in my lovelies!"
Sounds normal enough.
Thank you all for being here for my birthday stream and for such lovely message already they truely do mean a lot."
He and Eeshika have very different defintions of lovely messages. Then again Sunny is in his late thirties. Then he saw the chat blow up with comments.
Please let the chat be muted now...., a ban hammer...something.
Sunny now burned through one cigarette, he took out another letting it burn.
"Most of you know that I am talking about the photos that have been going around online...particularly the most recent ones of me. I know there are a lot of questions."
"And its not none of your fucking business." He said at the screen. "It is not something I'll talk about. Anyone who mentions it gets banned for a month?"
Sunny ran his fingers in his hair in anticipation.
"The kiss wasn't a mistake. It is actually a part of who I am." She pauses allowing the words to leave her mouth."I'm bisexual."
The edges on his phone screen singed a little. He had to take a long deep breath. Sunny wasn't mad at Siren for speaking her truth. He was mad that she had to on stream. On her fucking birthday.
Sunny took an elongated drag of the stick. Just imagine it webbing in and out like waves. Sunny took another before the stick was ash.
There was a look of determination on his face.
Could he just storm into David's office and burn it to the ground. Of course. But will that solve anything? Probably not.
For right now, for at least Eeshika's sake, he can try to do something nice.
A cupcake, a small stuffed animal, a corny card with a pun. Nothing life saving but maybe make the day less shittier.
He decided to send a dm-cause all Kardinal members being mutuals was the one thing they mandated.
sunnyequinox: Siren sunnyequinox: I'm running some errands you want anything? sunnyequinox: don't worry about paying me back.
He closed his phone and waited for the notification
