when dancers get sick, their body slows down and loses flow (the life force in just dance), and a way to speed up healing is to listen to music because it brings their body back to rhythm in a sense and returns flow to their bodies. the rhythm defib system directly projects the music into their bodies, essentially forcing their heart to beat faster to get back on rhythm with their songs

edega -
danceverse: Eternyx, moved to Dancity for work
Has a connection to the flow, is able to harness it but doesn’t do it often because he thinks it’s cheating, prefers taking matters into his own hands without using the flow
Is the one who noticed how flow dampens when a dancer is sick, experimented with it to promote healing and found out it halves the recovery time
Other things he can do with flow include teleportation, portal making, telekinesis, and slowing/speeding up time
Got obsessed with the idea of shortening that recovery time further without needing the connection to the flow, using technology instead to take the flow into his own hands and force it to work for him
Dances in his office, almost stiffly, his movements are coordinated and planned, he doesn’t smile, it’s no longer ‘fun’ but rather something he wants to perfect and refine
ian -
danceverse: Cyberfunk, moved to Dancity for work
Didnt really fit in with cyberfunk, with everyone being cool as fuck in that danceverse and with him preferring to stay in his room, so he moved to Dancity.
Is the one building the machinery thanks to his origins in Cyberfunk giving him access to knowledge and technology
A shy dancer, would rather dance privately in his room than out with other people, doesn’t know how to dance with a partner
ada -
danceverse: Carnivallium, moved to Dancity for work
Clown nose moment honk honk, full of whimsy and joy
Has a slightly higher sense of flow than others, an empath, can dance to the beat of someone else’s drum without much trouble
Loves dancing with others and would dance in the middle of the hallway inviting others to join, which would work better if she was back at home with the clowns and jesters rather than a hospital
farmer -
danceverse: wasterra
farmer hugh send tweet
samurai -
danceverse: Melosia Realms, moved to Cyberfunk
Samurai.
Has a high sense of flow like Paige, just doesn’t show it
Uses it to sense danger
Roommates with Cole
Dances, doesn’t care where or with who, legit who’s gonna stop him hes Samurai
logan -
danceverse: Dancity
A native of Dancity who doesn’t intend to change very soon, a big fan of the heroes of Dancity and the sports of Sun Horizon, not much to say here, it’s logan, he’s logan
Slightly shy dancer, prefers dancing somewhere without a crowd but doesn’t mind dancing at, say, a school gymnasium or the middle of a park
hailey -
danceverse: WackyGroove, moved to Dancity for school
A native of WackyGroove and proud of it! She doesn’t change herself just because she’s in Dancity and wears her bright pink dress with candies stuck to the fabric with pride
Being from WackyGroove, she tends to be a bit more hyperactive, with her flow going all sorts of jank adjusting to the ‘calm’ of Dancity
Doesn’t care if she’s dancing around gigantic sentient food or around other people or alone, just loves to dance
insomniac -
danceverse: Melosia Realms
Usually dances to calm songs, but the insomnia and connectifia corrupts his meditative dance, often jolting into faster tempo before slowing back down. It’s hell for someone who just want to dance slowly to the sound of the wind
Reserved dancer, prefers alone but doesn’t mind a crowd
cole -
danceverse: Dancity, moved to Cyberfunk
Oh yeah he tryna be cool n shit-
Roommates with Samurai bc we may be in just dance but rent is expensive
Has a connection with the flow and can harness it, but not as strong as Edega’s. He can’t bend it to his will, but he can manipulate it, splice and remix it, work *with* it
Other things he can do with flow include speeding himself up and teleportation (albeit,, not very well trained)
Proud dancer, prefers being in front of a crowd
nicole -
danceverse: Eternyx, moved to Dancity for work
Still works at a cafe in the hospital because again we may be in just dance but rent is expensive
Considered moving to cyberfunk but decided stability was better than following her dreams
Reserved dancer, prefers dancing on her own somewhere isolated like an alleyway or her room
the birds -
danceverse: Eternyx, moved to Melosia Realms
That fucking bird that i hate that fucking bird that i hate that fucking bird that i hate
stacy -
danceverse: Eternyx, moved to Sun Horizon
This… this was inspired by DJ Got Us Fallin In Love
Stacy is similar to Cygnus (Beggin by Maneskin) in that she's a bit more steampunk. While she’s definitely able to be feral, she prefers working on her drone birds- she wishes the real ones lived in Eternyx.
One flew into Stanley during a vacation she took and the rest is history.
Got married in Melosia Realms!
Definitely mellowed out, which means her birds mellowed out because she tells them not to attack people
Proud dancer!
stanley -
danceverse: Sun Horizon
Stanley I can see being more aligned to Baiana, whimsy but more forest, you wouldn’t expect someone from Sun Horizon to have jungle survival skills but he does
One of Stacy’s drone birds flew into him and he complimented it and talked about the living birds in Sun Horizon and the rest is history
Got married in Melosia Realms!
Hard not to mellow out with a broken foot
Proud dancer!
politician -
danceverse: Dancity
he a bitch
He still a politician and he a bitchhh
Dances for votes
Idk man nothing much changes other than he can dance now he's still a dickhead politician
We leave this fucker in space after dw
miner -
danceverse: Wasterra
Bit more cowboy than post apocalyptic, bit more miner than cowboy
Worked to the bone working in Jae’s Reserve (the factory in Follow the Leader), takes the Gaga Express (John Wayne) to work everyday, which is where he meets Hailey (who is visiting for her grandma who lives in Wasterra)
Like everyone so far, goes to Dancity to get treated, figured with how busted his body is it’d be a good vacation regardless on if his pain is treated or not
Doesnt mind dancing in public, doesn’t mind dancing in private either! As long as he’s happy doing it
lucky -
Danceverse: Sun Horizon, moves to Eternyx for work
Living the life as a celebrity because he’s at the peak of his career. What career? I mean, it could be baseball but I like the thought of him being a popstar like Jack Rose (Locked Out of Heaven)
Gets injured and sick and wants to heal ASAP so he goes to Dancity for treatment but ends up learning that yknow, being loved by an audience isnt as good as being loved by friends
Used to dancing in front of an audience with cool dance moves to wow the crowd but,,, he learns that he likes dancing slower in private too sometimes (cough cough minerscales cough)
mark -
danceverse: Eternyx, moved to Dancity for work, then moved to Melosia Realms bc of situationship problems
Follows Edega out of Eternyx and into Dancity, the same shit happens and he can’t take the pressure, gets ghosted so he moves to Melosia Realms and becomes a librarian. Only moves back to Dancity because of his heart
Taught how to harness the flow by the nymph he works for (albeit not as powerful as Edega, who has an innate talent) and uses it to levitate objects at most, can make portals but will strain himself doing so
Reserved dancer, prefers dancing in a private place but doesn’t mind dancing in public if it means he’s dancing with someone else
lucia -
danceverse: Floworld, visits Dancity for school
Lives in a pocket of Floworld of her own making
Absolutely has a connection with the flow, damn near a demigod, draws the world around her like in Love Story
Goes to school because she’s still a kid and while she loves her little world it’s good to socialize sometimes according to Master Panda
Reserved dancer, prefers dancing in her pocket where she can change the background at will to align with her emotions, won’t dance in public alone
