CHARACTER
Name: Niou Masaharu
Journal:
Appearance: Probably the biggest change is that Niou has learned a few tips and tricks from hair and makeup artists over the years; he looks more put together on a day to day basis, more photo-ready should anyone care to snap his picture. Despite what many believe, his ash blonde hair and bright blue eyes are naturally like that thanks to a melanin deficiency that runs in the family. He’s become somewhat well known for the rat tail hairstyle, though these days his hair is properly grown out to be longer - he simply styles it that way now. He oh-so-lovingly refers to it as “rattie.”
His eyeliner game is strong for it accentuates his pretty eyes and he is never without a spark of mischief that makes you wonder if you ever truly know what he’s thinking.
Personality: To tie down Niou is like herding cats. He’s mercurial and mischievous, and despite how many try to prove this wrong, he’s very particular with who he allows near his heart. As a result, there are very few people in the world who truly get to see Niou for who he really is, and really this suits him just fine. Those who are important know who they are.
He is very much about smoke and mirrors - never letting people know his true intentions or motivations. He enjoys watching the little cogs turn in people’s minds as they try to understand, and he does everything in such a disjointed manner that even the most intelligent of minds would become dizzy.
Biography: “The South” was about as specific as Niou would ever get about his hometown. People thought he said that to be mysterious or to keep an epic secret or simply because he was a pain in the ass. In reality, while yes it was all those things too, it was actually because he bounced between Kyushu and Shikoku as a kid. But, it did give him the excuse to fuck around with the dialects he spoke and the bemusement he received was entertaining as shit - misdirection, after all, was his forte.
It was his genius-like mathematical brain (and most certainly not the fantastic test scores) that got him into Rikkai, but he quickly made a name of himself as one of the star tennis players. School was never really a priority of him, passing certain subjects with ease and putting exactly zero effort into others, but just like the others of his year, tennis was his life. Ultimately, fourteen was a life altering year. His memories are a mixed bag, everything from euphoria to feeling like shit on the bottom of a shoe, and he never did quite recover emotionally from going through the experience with Yukimura. Somehow he was at the top of his tennis game, but he also neglected taking care of himself, never went home, and survived off barely nothing but convenience store bentou. Despite this, the growth he experienced far outweighed the shit, and ultimately in the end it was for the best even if the habit of wandering around like a stray cat never truly ebbed.
Since he didn’t have to bother with exams, he entered Rikkai’s University without any real direction for his studies. He joined a theatre class for shits and giggles because it would be an easy way to get some credits. When the class was approached about performing something for the school’s culture festival, while his classmates began excitedly preparing for all they could do, Niou decided to break off and do something on his own. Somehow, the school agreed - probably because they didn’t really know how else to respond.
He personally choreographed and wrote the song that he performed in front of the entire school, poking fun at a tennis match from that life altering third year paved way to the rest of his high performance tennis career. The crowd loved it - so much that he made a bit of a name for himself, and had the theatre department clambering to find a way they could incorporate his abilities into more school performances.
Not long after his second term at school had concluded, he was approached by a representative of Bang!Entertainment, who was very interested in seeing more. In a series of interesting encounters, interviews, and contracts, he found himself swept up in the entertainment industry. All the reasons why it was a terrible idea - he couldn’t sing, he had a terrible personality, his posture was terrible, amongst others - also became the reason people came to love it. Even so, nobody’s still quite sure what to call him - an idol, model (he’s game to do basically just about anything), an actor - other than by his stage name, “NI-OH.”
When the demands on him for work became a bit much, he fell just short of dropping out of school, switching to studies very part time so he could focus more seriously on what other possibilities he could explore to effectively paste his face across all of Tokyo.

CHARACTER
Name: Shiraishi Kuranosuke
Journal:
Appearance: No major changes. He does still wear the bandage (no golden gauntlet under it) when he is performing as part of his trademark look. The ash blonde hair is natural, if unusual.
Personality: Shiraishi has always been the reliable, calm sort. He is generally level-headed and really only shows his darker side when he believes that someone is not living up to their full potential. He has been known to have a nasty way of expressing his opinions when someone disappoints him.
Shiraishi can’t help but take in strays… which is how he has ended up with his cat Angel that lives with him in his apartment. Angel followed him home from Handai’s campus one day, which he decided was clearly fate and he took her in. When he is stressed, lonely, or tired, he takes great comfort in Angel.
Shiraishi is the type that would take a two-hour train ride out to the countryside just to buy his rice directly from the farm rather than going to the store. He eats a relatively clean diet and is conscious of what he is putting in his body, but he won’t say no to midnight McDonald’s run, either. He is also particular about his beer, preferring expensive import craft beers over anything on the Japanese market.
He is a bargain hunter and 99% of his clothing comes from Uniqlo, though you would not know it from his stylish way of dressing. He enjoys going to antique stores and Daiso to look for good deals. He has a few interesting knick-knacks around his apartment that he picked up from his most recent visit to the antique store.
He is very close with his family, particularly his two sisters. Being the lone boy with two sisters growing up, he has been put through the ringer by his sisters but they mean the world to him.
As he grows in popularity as an idol, he uses his increasing fame as a platform to openly advocate for LGBT and women’s rights which has gotten him into trouble once or twice with his agency. Unfortunately, when he believes something wholeheartedly, he can’t keep from speaking his mind.
Biography: Shiraishi continued on at Shitenhouji for high school. He continued to play on the tennis team, eventually stepping in as captain once more. After high school, he went on to Handai for university where he played on the tennis team and studied Chemistry with the eventual intention of becoming a science teacher… until his life took a sideways turn.
Shiraishi was scouted by a talent agency for his charm and good looks, only for them to find out he also has a beautiful singing voice and is a proficient dancer. He has had a quick rise to fame, his success built on his natural talents and the hard work he has put in to his idol career. However, he found that he could not balance work with being on the tennis team and going to traditional classes, so he has since left Handai to pursue correspondence school. He is now moving to Tokyo for the filming of his new show Star Debut where he has been offered his first leading role in a drama.
He named his idol persona “Kurarin” after the nickname given to him by Konjiki Koharu when they were in middle school.

So... I have a wikipedia article ｢(ﾟﾍﾟ)
That's my weird life. (^～^;)ゞ (´−｀) ﾝｰ
How's everyone else doing? It’s been a while~ I managed to get all the way from Osaka to Tokyo without being recognized until my next door neighbor in my apartment caught me without the flu mask on. I heard her on the phone telling a friend about it earlier… I probably just shouldn’t go outside.
