SNOW . SPARKLE CHARMER [+]
IMAGE. Cold, determined, aloof, and a bit cruel, a bit ruthless, a bit brutal. Snow is robot unicorn racing’s resident Ice Queen, steely and frigid and diamond-eyed; untouchable. Considered Ice World’s top / most recognizable racer.
IMPACT. Popularized optometric cosmetic surgeries involving iris alterations when TWILIGHT debuted her for the second time { with diamonds surgically implanted into her eyes } ; widely recognized for ‘brutally beautiful’ racing technique that emphasizes power, form, and technique over speed and agility.
HISTORY. Debuted as Snow Princess 12 years ago { 4018 }, took an extended hiatus in 4020, then debuted a second time as Snow in 4023.
SKY . CELESTIAL RESONATOR [+]
IMAGE. Enigmatic and ethereal - a mysterious, otherworldly beauty who burst onto the racing scene seemingly overnight. [ info from @jay-swagsby ]
IMPACT. Has recently popularized white-ink tattoos { the very ones that made TWILIGHT interested in her in the first place! }; Celestial Resonator’s insides of shifting galaxies has become the newest trend { made possible using a combination of camouflage, cloaking, and holographic technology), even in underground street racing circles { though, rumor has it that some experimental prototypes were stolen some number of years before Sky debuted. Not to mention all the conspiracy theories about who she was allegedly brought in to replace . . . }
HISTORY. Debuted two years ago { 4028 }
IMAGE. Brazen, brash, hot-headed, ruthless - Ice is TWILIGHT’s attempt to mimic some of the strategies that work so well with Lava World audiences. Ice is all sharp edges and biker glam, and her accent lends her an air of mystery and thrill that immediately captivated the public.
IMPACT. Her popularity as a racer has helped the rise of grittier and edgier fashion trends in mainstream Ice World markets, like spiked combat boots and leather gloves and helmets studded with spikes of diamond and crystal.
HISTORY. Debuted eight years ago { 4022 }
FLOWER . PAGEANT PRINCESS [+]
IMAGE. The Long-Legged Bimbo to Supernova’s polished Heroine and Sunbeam’s beloved Sky-Daughter. Giggly, disarming, doll-like and ditzy, with a dreamy smile perpetually plastered on her face. Darling, though dumb. [ info from @bebemoon ]
IMPACT. Her robo-doll / pixie-bot aesthetic has become insanely popular on Starstagram, thanks to all the teasers and promo RISE has put out prior to her debut. In addition, industry insiders who are ~in the know~ about her holo-veiled features have taken after RISE in experimenting more with the capabilities of the technology.
HISTORY. Debuted in the June of 4030, at the Lava World Circuit. However, RISE has been dropping ad campaigns, teasers, and even a line of uv beauty products for their newest racer for years !
IMAGE. The shining sky to Supernova’s golden sun. Dressed in light, airy pinks and purples and never without a crown of beaten-gold laurels, Sunbeam is Supernova’s younger - though just as poised and elegant - counterpart. { Some say that she was brought in after Supernova retired to take her place as the ‘goddess of victory’ on the RISE team, but that, of course, has never been officially confirmed }
IMPACT. Popularized holographic wings as a mainstream fashion accessory in Sky World markets; widely recognized for an elegant, streamlined technique that still allows her to score high in speed/agility categories.
HISTORY. Debuted seven years ago { 4023 }
SUPERNOVA . ROBOT UNICORN MK-II [+]
IMAGE. The goddess of victory, poised with divine light - and, now that she’s back and it’s public knowledge that she is a mother, RISE has also played up the quietly graceful, serene, caring, virtuous and regal sides of her image. [ info from @interluxetumbra ]
IMPACT. As one of the original racers, Supernova’s impact is everywhere, from pop music to movies to fashion to art. Sky World teenagers swoon over gold-dust makeup and buy laurel crowns for each other; Starstagram influencers and luxury fashion houses alike are *always* doing Supernova-inspired gowns and makeup and accessories. In the pro racing world, her austere, elegant style of dressage has characterized RISE unicorns for decades.
HISTORY. Debuted for the first time 23 years ago { 4007 }, retired 10 years ago { 4020 }, has just made a comeback and debuted again for the June 4030 Lava World Circuit.
IMAGE. Reckless and hot-headed and mischievous, Flame’s image is very, very obviously catering to the mainstream Lava World audiences who eat that kind of thing up. A rebel without a cause, a fire that cannot be tamed, and tough as nails to boot - who wouldn’t love her? [ info from @carelessmidnight ]
IMPACT. Fans have noted some similarities to a first-gen racer named Magma, who was in the original team that LAZER debuted with. The hot-headed powerhouse racer has become somewhat of a lasting “trope” with the agency, and for a good reason - Lava Worlders love it.
HISTORY. Debuted one year ago { 4029 }
IMAGE. The villainess, the goddess of the night - ‘like a prayer, or a curse, was her name ever spit’. Wicked and golden-eyed and sharp and lethal, with the classic Lava World temper and a burning, untouchable beauty. [ info from @kzombi3 ]
IMPACT. Nyx was the first time LAZER went in a more “divine” direction { à la RISE }, and though the reactions have been mixed, her debut has definitely bolstered the popularity of a ‘fire goddess meets biker glam’ aesthetic that wasn’t explored much by Lava Worlders in the past. Her unicorn has also become a source of inspiration in street racing circles, due to both it’ deadly, laser-sharp precision and its villainous aesthetic.
HISTORY. Debuted four years ago { 4026 }
WIDOWMAKER . VOID MAKER [+]
IMAGE. The mysterious one, quiet and severe and short-spoken - the child of a secret agent, high up in the Estrellian Federation’s political echelons, cool and suave and likely trained to kill. [ info from @now-on-elissastillstands ]
IMPACT. A bit of a departure from the stereotypical hot-headed rebel, but enough of an enigma to hold the attention of Lava World audiences for all this time. Widowmaker’s unicorn is sleek and mechanical, for all that she has a gritty, ‘rough-and-tumble’ { according to the tabloids, anyway } way of racing. In underground street racing circles, her Void is wildly, wildly popular and has served as the inspiration for many other robot unicorns, cobbled together using stolen parts and salvaged metal - because that was how Void Maker was originally built, all those years ago { and rumor has it that the facility Widowmaker originally stole Void from was raided again a bit later, anyway - and nobody knows what happened to the other robot horse models that were being developed . . . }
HISTORY . Debuted five years ago { 4025 }
