Chapter Text
Hatsune Miku – 16
A people pleaser, through and through. She was raised from birth with fame in mind, and she’s never known anything different. Starting out as a child actress, she was quickly thrust into idolhood once it was discovered that she enjoyed singing and dancing. She can be a little awkward with how sickeningly nice and nonconfrontational she is, but she genuinely means well. Tends to bottle her feelings up and not know how to handle negative emotions in a healthy way.
Kagamine Ringo ‘Rin’ – 14
Twin sister of Len, a bubbly, high energy girl with a mouth that goes a mile a minute. She’s surprisingly smart and emotionally mature for her age and sees a lot of the beauty in the music she sings. She’s still 14, however, and she can get cranky and antsy if she gets overwhelmed. She’s very protective over her brother and get pretty intense when it comes to keeping him safe.
Kagamine Renshin ‘Len’ – 14
Twin brother of Rin, a quiet, sweet-hearted boy who tends to get overshadowed by his sister’s energy. Many of his more excitable performances are only possible with his sister’s support. He’s more of a follower than a leader and won’t fight hard to have his voice be heard. When he does get a chance to shine, he’s very detail-oriented and insightful. Got the name ‘Len’ from his American audience. Secretly likes that it’s more different from his sister’s ‘Rin’.
Megurine Luka – 18
The daughter of a Japanese businesswoman and a British actor, Luka is also no stranger to showbusiness. She grew up with more of a realistic view of the world when compared to Miku, and because of this is more emotionally healthy. She’s a bit disconnected from the average man, however, as she grew up fairly wealthy and tends to forget that her experiences are not universal. Prefers to sing in Japanese and act in English.
Matsumoto Kaito – 21
A dad-friend of a man, Kaito is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to make sure that you are fed, healthy, well-rested, whatever you need to be your best person. He grew up the oldest of five children, and so he has experience taking care of others. He’s far from a doormat, however, and can and will put his foot down if he thinks you’re not acting right. He’s also generally known as the goofball of the Piapro Six. He and Meiko have been dating for two and a half years.
Hayashi Meiko – 22
A fireball, Meiko has a temper and a stubborn streak that has made her a bit of a point of contention in the industry. She started from next to nothing compared to the others, being an average girl who fell into idolhood by chance. Because of this, she is the most connected to average life and the most likely to call out rules and regulations that she feels aren’t fair. She’s very protective over Miku and takes over as her manager when her parents aren’t present (which is often, these days). She and Kaito have been dating for two and a half years.
OTHER NOTES
- The loids are all humans who get hired to perform different producers’ songs. Miku is a very popular pick, and so she is usually swamped with work. They are all employed in some way or another, though, and all perform. Their performances can range from singing, dancing, acting, all of that performance art goodness.
- ‘Idol Agencies’ are more like idol groups that are associated with and often perform together. The main six listed here are called the Piapros, and they are not the only active group.
- Agencies typically live together in the same home. The Piapros are no exception to this. Kaito and Meiko tend to handle things like bills and shopping, though they are slowly educating Luka on basic household care so that she can help out too (and also do that 'being a functional adult thing').
- Idols technically aren’t allowed to date, but Meiko thinks that that rule is bullshit and she is actively working to have that restriction lessened, if not overruled entirely. She would have been fired a long time ago if she hadn’t threatened legal action.
- Miku, Rin, and Len do have parents. Miku’s parents realized that Meiko was starting to put in the dirty work of managing her and tend to spend most of their time living the high life off of Miku’s extra wealth. Rin and Len’s parents treat the agency like a sort of boarding school, bringing them home whenever normal schoolchildren would be off of school. They are generally good to the twins and still treat them like normal fourteen year olds.
