👀 for the Lesser NSRtists?

"👀 Tell me more about [OC name]?"

Technically there are a LOT of NSR artists, but obviously you meant the important ones lol. The top of NSR's lesser artists under each Megastar for each district!

For Cast Tech we have the newest addition to the NSR family, DJ Necropolis (AKA, Daray). He is a pretty quiet guy who only really cares about music and sorta his friends Adder and Neil.

I say sorta because he tends to have this mindset of "don't see, don't care" where if someone isn't presently in his life a lot, he tends to forget they exist until they come back in.

So even though he sees those two a lot because he works with them, and he would considering both of them his best friends, he still tends to push them out of his mind when not actively engaging with them (he pretty much never reaches out first, can easily stop communicating with them, as well as having a hard time really connecting with their problems in a meaningful way).

For work it's different since there are deadlines and people like Tatiana are above him, making it hard to forget them (which is good, otherwise he'd probably be bad at his work if he didn't have that constant pressure). But otherwise, he's not very talkative and very much not making friends easily.

Much more of a wallflower who only talks about music. Which the other NSRtists and Megastars get bored with since that is their jobs (well other than Nova, which is a good thing that Daray was put in their district since Nova and Daray get along fairly well since all they talk about is work related subjects).

In Akusuka is Popstart! Real name: Maple! Well, that is what she changed her name to, it used to be Mabel, but she liked Maple.

She's an adult, but looks younger. It doesn't help that she has braces since she wasn't able to have them when she was younger, or that she leans into that hyper pop kind of theme that Sayu has going on.

I think her genre would be some kind of like "candy pop" and hyper pop mixed together. Super sweet, upbeat, probably reminiscent of early 2000s pop music is what I think she would have. Or at least what it would grow into as she would have the freedom to go into that side of music after the revolution (as the "candy pop" music I am hearing sounds kinda more rock than edm).

She has a tail! It is her real tail! It is supposed to be a squirrel tail, but it is made of sweets/goo so a lot of people think she is some kind of snail instead (based off a comment/ask saying she was a snail lol).

Technically Ex-Jay is also one of the top lesser NSRtists, but only for a little while. They outranked Popstart for a bit, but would soon leave NSR to just do their own thing since they couldn't travel as much, but also the fact that working for NSR wasn't really their goal anymore from when they were teens.

In Natura we have Synthia! Plenty has been said about Synthia already. He's a neglected kid trying to do everything to make his mother proud of him, or at the very least love him even a little bit.

He honestly doesn't actually care about NSR. Similar to Daray, he has a hard time caring about other people except a select few. It really is just him and his mom for the longest time, and he was trying to do anything to upstage Yinu and take her title as Natura's Charter.

Obviously he didn't get it as Yinu is still charter after the timeskip, when she decides to retire and travel with Peni. I think it would be neat if Synthia was offered the role of charter by Yinu (or like Yinu would put in a good word for him) but he hesitates or declines it because he doesn't actually want that, and he's no longer in contact with his mother (because of his mother cutting contact) that he has no real idea what to do with his life anymore.

It is thanks to Carna and Riko coming into his life that he is able to live more for himself. I would say all three of them are pretty selfish in their own ways, which is actually what makes them all really good friends, as they can understand when the others do something selfish as that is something they can see themselves doing.

So kind of a dysfunctional little friend group, but it works out for them. Plus it's probably the only friends Carna and Synthia ever had outside of family and work (Riko is probably the most functional out of the three and still has friends from Japan she talks with).

In the Metro Division we have my earliest NSR OCs, Hydrar, Timbre, and EGEg! Their band used to be called "Amarus Amares" but I'm thinking of changing that.

Anyway, Hydrar was crushing on Timbre heavily, but at some point I just decided to put them in a relationship because I want to. Most likely EGEg ended up pushing them to opening up to each other so she didn't have to see Hydrar fall over her own words all the time because of her major crush.

Hydrar lost her arm in a car accident. She was helped by one of Neon J's outreach programs to help people get prosthetics. She has been looking up to him ever since.

Timbr similarly looks up to Neon J, but because he was one of the first famous people who had a head similar to hers that she knew of (her head is made of glass, but it is rectangular and fragile similar to Neon J's monitor head).

So because of both of their fascination with Neon J, the two became good friends and started their band together to try and become NSRtists one day! They took the theme of 1010 seriously and made themselves out to look like robots (Timbr making a protector for her head to look like a screen, and Hydrar covering up anything that isn't robotic and wearing a mechanical mask). It honestly worked because most of their fanbase thinks they are robots.

As for EGEg. At first she was supposed to be an alien species that was created from a past mutual's oc species based off of DJSS. But I actually want to recreate her a bit as that no longer fits the Eriverse (since that lore was made before I had "elementals" down).

So for now, EGEg is a space elemental similar to Nova who was really down on her luck after a really bad breakup. She ran into Timbr and Hydrar who took her in, and she became their manager.

She doesn't make any music, and honestly has no idea how to do anything music related. She really just manages the more business side of things and gives a more consumer input to Hydrar and Timbre's music since she isn't a professional.

And for the final district, Ana in Dream Fever!

Gonna be honest, she is the least developed in my head out of all the lesser NSRtists. All I know is she is a fucking bitch who will step on others to get up in the ladder.

I see her having a kind of parasocial relationship with Eve. Similar to what Timbr and Hydrar have going on with Neon J, but she is a lot more toxic with hers and will do anything for Eve.

Actually, I would say that her relationship with Eve is similar to that of Eve's relationship with Tatiana in the game. Where Eve is putting everything she has into being good enough for Tatiana, and this is exactly what Ana is doing for Eve.

Except that Ana is also a massive bitch and doesn't actually care about others. Like Eve can be mean, but she truly does care about others and wants to help people out (we can see this with her art pieces that also help with the flooding). Ana is just a heartless bitch hiding behind a pretty face.

As for her powers, I think she has some kind of star power, or something to do with lights. I was at first gonna have her have light strings, similar to what Ilia has, but then I created Ilia as a character with string powers (Imma be honest with you chief, I really just LOVE string powers and barrier powers. I gotta try to not overuse them lol).

But yea, I have no idea what Ana's powers are gonna be, but she does have something. I want her to be related to strings and the small harp/lyre as an instrument.

I don't think she's a character who can be changed for the better, but she is one who could be subdued into a more passive role (unlike Matvey who is always actively hostile or Sharon who is negatively passive, Ana will be a neutral passive leaning towards a fake positive to make others just get off her back).

Basically once she gets truly humbled, she'll just be a two faced bitch who pretends to be nice to everyone but actually has no real friends close enough to her and instead her life is very lonely and bitter yet she does nothing to change it for the better.

I think her and Adder would be good friends! :D

That's basically all I got for the NSRtists (I'm sure I can think of more but this post is already long enough lol).
