Schmicago OCs!!
credit to @manyfandomocs for inspiring me to finally get my shit together and to my favourite @seaweedhufflepuffocs for listening to me talk about them for months and months and months and putting up with me being annoying when schmicago stole my original mercy plot smh
1. Alyson Kelly in The Music And The Mirror – from the real world, got stuck in Schmicago as part of a deal with the narrator, shipped with Melissa & Josh
her main character inspirations are Cassie Ferguson (a chorus line) and Janet Weiss (rocky horror), as well as a lot of Pippin influence but not a specific character!
2. Billy Astor in Being Alive – a businessman who shares an office space with Bobbie, former idealist now turned cynic, gambled a bit too much and got stuck in debt to Kratt, shipped with Jenny & Topher
his main character inspirations are Robert/Bobby (company), Zach (a chorus line), J Pierpont Finch (how to succeed in business without really trying), Nick Arnstein (funny girl), and Ben (follies)
3. Lily May in Let Me Entertain You – Jenny's roommate and best friend, a fellow showgirl with a dark side, Bobbie got her off of a murder charge when a guest at Kratt's club started stalking her, shipped with Jenny & Topher
her main character inspirations are Roxie Hart & Velma Kelly (chicago) and Baby June & Gypsy Rose Lee/Louise (gypsy)
4. Mercy Correira in City On Fire – Former member of Topher's cult and Topher's ex girlfriend, but Kratt set his eyes on her and ultimately she had to give in and agree to be his or Topher was going to get sent to the electric chair. All along he’s thought that she betrayed them all for the glitz and glam of being a showgirl, now she’s sort of the faded star used and thrown aside and jaded, shipped with the Emcee
Her main character inspirations are Lucy Barker (sweeney todd), Charity Hope Valentine (sweet charity), and Sally Durant Plummer & Phyllis Rogers Stone (follies), with influence from Johanna Barker (sweeney todd), magenta (rocky horror), Fanny Brice (funny girl), and Mary Magdalene (jesus christ superstar)
5. and Ricky Skinner in Something Real – comes back as himself, missing Schmigadoon and wishing he'd never left, ship tbd but probably Jenny or Jenny & Topher
