Rising's [redacted]

Among Fantasticity, there's the most popular idol group, Rising. Members include Lanying, Wuqiong, and [redacted]. Wuqiong is primarily the producer/manager, but steps in sometimes to perform as well. She has a small following, but nowhere near just Lanying and [redacted]. Lanying and [redacted] get along on a surface level but have never had the time or desire to get to know one another past that.
[redacted] is also a member of the Parades, but to each group, the other identity is a secret. Goes by Kreya in the idol group, and by [redacted 2] in the Parades. Both appearances are different enough, but she knows the act can't go on forever. [redacted] is in both groups purely for power/fame. She knows if the Parades knew of her idoldom, they'd take advantage of her connections and reputation, which she'd rather do on her own schedule.

[redacted] has two sets of fake identities. Names on documentation prior to entry to the Parades actually say "[redacted]", though it's also a placeholder name for the purposes of this post.

Timeline of [redacted]
-came to the city in pursuit of power
-scouted by Wuqiong, originally thought it was a stupid idea but came to the realization that it may be useful.
-joined Rising, which was the name chosen for the duo of Lanying and [redacted]. To get out of certain things and to free up her own schedule, suggested that Wuqiong also stand in the spotlight sometimes
-after about a year, bought a second identity in case it was necessary. Adopted a second act/personality/appearance to join the Parades
-Much lobbying/connections later, joined the Parades under a second name.
-Is about the sixth most powerful Parades member
-Is influential from her idol status

-a brilliant actor who can change identities with ease. She doesn't know she has this power, but uses it daily. Neither her identity in the Parades or in Rising are her real identities.

Fantasticity Building Masterpost


Basic List of Classes
Character List (links to designs, likely broken links. Outdated list)
CharaHub link (Character list up to date, not all have full body art linked)

Connections where there weren't connections.

(This list was a draft from May 2014)

-Miru (also a phoenix-sort of girl) and Heizen (also a dragon) have crushes on one another but don't realize it. Miru thinks it's just one of those phases like every other person she's been with (which is a ton).
-Miru is possibly the only person Ara doesn't look down on.
-Ven and Miru enjoy one another's fashion taste. On the other hand, Roy let Ven "help" him in that regard and wound up regretting it.
-Tarou and Miru hook up when they're both still around at last call. They're somewhat decent friends (though they both know that friendship won't last too long), and play one another's wingmen when needed.
-Miru sometimes works for a news blog sort of place. She's generally good getting info from politicians and other local scandals. She met Wineberry through this.
-At this place, Wineberry's the photographer. She flies around (and tell no one how she gets her photos).
-Hua is the only non-observer-status one to have met all of the others. Shizu knows about everyone but hasn't necessarily met them.
-Hua and Amaya sometimes travel together, and like each other, but don't have much in common.
-Wuqiong and Shizu are unbeatable at charades.
-SQ and Yun both actively keep an eye on Kaori.
-Since Wineberry and Miru are friends, Wineberry is stuck hanging out with Tarou a lot. She finds him kinda obnoxious but doesn't say anything. Tarou doesn't really like Wineberry either.
-Something already kinda touched upon: Shizu's an information broker (sort of) with Chouri as her most major client. Kotori and Kururi also go to her sometimes, but can usually get info on their own.
-Aroku and Tarou see one another as rivals.
-Rrisa plays bass, Rhosyn on drums, Pianoloid/Abscissa plays piano. Vocalist, sax/trumpet are undetermined atm. (if ever)

Groups within Fantasticity

The Parades

Within Fantasticity, there's a group in charge of lots of things. Typically these include public appearances and politics. This such group is known as the Parades, named aptly because they're the ones who throw parades.
Notable members are Ruby and Lemm.
The Parades are slowly trying to gain control of the city and the powers that exist within it. The group's use of city control is unknown.
The Parades know of the Organization and regard it poorly. The Organization watches the Parades carefully. It is predicted that an all out war between the two groups is inevitable, even if they have different purposes and end goals.

Kururi takes over this group for a short period of time. Disrearche eventually comes and reorganizes it after she leaves it a mess, and remains the permanent leader. The previous leader before Kururi is unknown.

The Organization

The largest group within the city. Typically this is a place for those with powers to learn more about them, and then act as members who help the group and the city as a whole. While the main building is hidden in a small pocket universe running parallel to the city, most of the members live throughout the city itself.
Run by Kotori/Andromeda with the purpose to keep the city/world alive and relatively out of trouble. She, being an observer entity, interfered.

The Heaps

The city's undercity, run by the Night Queen, also known as Queen of the Heaps. The Heaps isn't so much a group as it is a culture. Gangs like Chou's run here.
The Heaps tries to stay out of the eye of anyone, but the Organization knows of its existence (and calls it the Undercity), and the Parades are trying to shut it down (and failing. They call it Crime Central).
This group is not mutually exclusive to other groups, and even have members from the Parades.

The Gallery

The art world of the city, focused on the elegance found. Pia, Vio, Viola, etc are notable members. This subculture is not just musicians, but visual artists, writers, etc that meet and form the art world network.
This is the group generally uninterested by the politics of the city, while simultaneously being the most affected by them. Not mutually exclusive to this group, many are part of the Organization and the Heaps, some even belonging to the Parade (though these are the only ones with interest in politics).

A notable member of The Gallery is Kaori Lin. For a number of arcs, she serves as leader despite the group not actually having a leader. Kaori is regarded highly among the Gallery, for her work, but isn't sure how she became well liked.
