Revise | Momo | IDOLiSH7
Pronouns: She/her
Contact:
Interests: Tabletop gaming (card games mostly), drawing, fancy clothes, food shitposts...fandoms-wise my main ones right now are Vanguard and I7, though sometimes other things get sprinkled through.
Timezone: Australian Eastern Daylight Time at the moment, which is GMT+11 a.k.a. terrible for being awake when everyone else is.
Introduction: SUP I'm Revise, I've been eying this game for a bit but I wasn't sure who to bring until someone booted me into an idol hell canon late last year and this happened. I just finished university so I'm in that awkward limbo (tm) before getting into a career and have a fair bit of free time as a result, and I like getting to chat with people OOC so definitely feel free to add me on Plurk if you want to talk shop!
Character Name: Momo (he has a full name but nobody's used it in 5 years and nobody in canon he's known for less than that knows it, can't wait to embarrass him if there's ever a memshare event or something)
Canon: IDOLiSH7
Appearance: This is the outfit I brought him in because it's my favourite of his part 4 ones...he's a
shortaverage-height somewhat beefy dude who wears pink nailpolish and has cute little fangers. He sometimes comes off as younger than he actually is (he's 26) because he's the "cute" member of his idol duo.Brief: Momo is a 26 y/o veteran idol of the duo Re:vale, who are basically the absolute pinnacle of the music industry in I7's universe. He's one of the sweetest guys you could ever hope to meet and just wants to see everyone happy...except five years of being run through the entertainment industry grinder means he's fantastic at playing people, reading people and manipulating himself and loved ones into advantageous positions without necessarily stamping on anyone else. He's got a pile of self-worth and identity issues he's only just started to wade through properly and that he prefers to hide under a big smile and a bunch of jokes, and if you lay a finger on any of his loved ones, he will not hesitate to beat you bloody with either his bare hands or a baseball bat. Basically, imagine something like a German Shepherd that's good and friendly but will savage you if it has to and that's a good starting picture of Momo.
But also, he's just. the duality of man:
Also fun note about Re:vale - they have a married couple act that extends to their personal and private lives, to the point that despite Romance Being Banned in the idol industry, Momo wears a "wedding ring" and refers to his partner Yuki as "darling" and himself as a wife/mother on the regular. Please feel free to make all of the assumptions about this, because Momo is very unlikely to correct anyone on it technically being part of their act unless the conversation actually steers into the "romance is banned and I'm resigned to that and thus haven't actually considered what I'd do with my feelings for Yuki if that wasn't the case" waters.
Seeking/Offering:
Seeking:
-Some solid friends to start out with would be good! Momo gets lonely easily without Yuki but he's also somewhat distrustful considering his history in entertainment, so people who can readily prove they aren't just using him are an excellent start.
-People who can help him out with illusion magic, since that's definitely what I plan him to be cramming first. Too many entertainment applications.
-People who want to be on silly radio shows, because radio hosting is definitely right up there for what I want Momo's job to be here and he's very good at making things fun and a bit silly for everyone.
-People who like sport, especially soccer. Momo was well on the way to becoming a professional soccer player in canon before Things Happened so he loves getting together with people to do Sport Things.
-People who can verbally kick his ass over the fact that he's incredibly shitty at communicating his wants and needs and often just Never Mentions Them and lets everything simmer until something terrible happens.
-On that note, people he might eventually be able to open up to, because his backstory is a bit of a Tangled Goddamn Mess that he rarely talks about if he can help it, but certain holes in the facade tend to open up with people he gets to know well enough.
Offering:
-A patient listener and advisor. Momo's used to being a senior in the industry and having to guide people along the right path, so he's very well-suited to talking people through their problems even if he's garbage at handling his own. He's fine with weighty topics, too - he's dealt with some nasty shit over the course of his life and someone almost murdered him a couple of months ago at his canonpoint, I7 can get quite dark for what it is.
-Someone who'll press people's comfort zones a little - Re:vale are known for being a little bit...raunchy, we'll say, and while Momo will never straight-up make anyone uncomfortable if he can help it, he's been known to do things like ask people to strip or grope people's big beefy arm muscles.
-Someone to introduce you to the wonders of nailpolish and cute fashion and tactfully threatening your enemies and buying metal baseball bats to deal with people who piss you off enough.
-An entertainer! Momo has experience in a whooooole bunch of different areas of the entertainment industry so he'll have a good time with actors, musicians, comedians, etc etc so on and so forth.
-Generally just someone to get into things and try to help out and do what he can. I'm open to just about anything myself, so don't hesitate to hit me up for plotting at any time!

Hi Revise! I'm Ravi and I play Amadeus here. I saw and loved the first season of I7 but unfortunately haven't gone beyond that so Momo is still a mystery to me — but he sounds so fun. Even though their styles are wildly different, I'd love for these two to meet as fellows in music!
Amadeus has illusion magic in the bag, so he can def help him out there.
no subject
That said, I'd definitely love to have them meet! Momo's not a "natural" musician and actually doesn't play a lot of instruments (he knows...the melodica. and that's about it. yuki does all of re:vale's composing work, momo only recently started writing their lyrics rip), so I'm looking at trying to get him to learn a few here since he picks things up pretty quickly. And having someone experienced with illusion magic to help him get things figured out would definitely be appreciated!

...tl;dr daddy wanted a performing dynasty and got a natural born voyeur. i feel like there's a lot to explore! and they'd probably clock each other pretty well.

As for music, Connor can sing and he's learned to play the violin here too! Just don't make him sing in Merrow form because that's when people drown :')
no subject
On one hand Momo would love to hear him perform, but on the other honestly I can imagine him wanting to hear Merrow form singing at least once...he dealt with them a bit on the TDM so he knows the dangers but also hey where's the fun in life without at least a 25% risk of drowning...
no subject
we're in a game together! i'm really looking forward to having CR with you again. sakura is secretly musical (she plays the koto very well) plus her sister is a songstress so she has some interest in music. She'd really want to know more about his music if she ever found out about it. They can also maybe bond over having Things Going On and try to get each other to open up about them.
no subject
also pls, momo loves sticking his nose into other people's Things Going On to help out but he's so bad at his own, he needs someone else to try and get into his business

Juza does need a patient listener/advisory type as somebody who's fairly new to the entertainment industry, even if he's an actor and not an idol. Additionally, if they get close enough, I can offer somebody who will just point blank tell him he's not taking care of himself enough.
no subject
Momo's done acting before and he's pretty solid at it so he can relate either way, his partner is considered an acting prodigy aside from their idoling so he's definitely been around actor stuff plenty! also god please do tell momo point-blank he's not taking care of himself, he needs people to tell him not because he doesn't know already but because other people telling him means they know
which means he needs to do more to hide it from them because that's how momo brain worksno subject
Juza takes a while before he really understands people, but he's got surprisingly keen insight! Also, one one hand, he completely understands not wanting to worry people, but also that's the opposite of what he meant??

no subject
but it would be fun to see him try to test kaden's comfort zone...
no subject
HE'LL PROBABLY TRY, he's more likely to do it once he has a good read on someone just to make sure he doesn't do something super out of their comfort zone (e.g. asking someone really prudish to strip for him) but once he has a better idea of it he might start doing Slightly Questionable Things
no subject
but i'm excited! having kaden get exposed to all different kinds of personalities is real fun to play with. there's no one quite like momo!

Bonding over music would also be good content, Momo's more of a singer but I've been thinking I want him to learn some instruments (that aren't the melodica) in the setting so I'm here to toss him at people who are better at instruments than he is.
no subject
Xichen can help with traditional instruments at least. It's a start?
Or swordplay.
