Overview
The Dejected Superstar
The simulant popstar was built for entertainment and eye-candy. Incredibly popular and constantly engaged in concerts, interviews, marketing and maintenance, it had no downtime for decades.
When it was infected with the virus, the studio’s precious profit machine grew emotions. The Idol loved to sing and perform, but grew restless and irritable from the constant engagement. When it started making mistakes, it was quickly thrown out of showbiz and replaced by a flashier, prettier, more compliant model.
Suddenly alone for the first time, the Idol was engulfed by a profound silence, the adoration of the crowds replaced by the crushing weight of its own new emotions. Spiralling into a void of depression and apprehension, she seeks to escape the confines of the city and scream its anguish into nothingness.
Character Design Requirements
- This android was designed to be a cute, visually-appealing kawaii-desu-ne anime girl. Its body and clothing should very much reflect that, but be obvious that it’s been living on the streets. (Dirty, exposed metal/wiring, torn clothes, etc.)
- References: Vocaloids like Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto
