Laura Spoony (Candelabra)

Alright. The moment you guys have been waiting for. What does Laura Spoony look like? This was requested by @quietcyclonemask to do this.

This asset of the SilverCandle fan kid is not mine. Somebody else came up with the Candelabra fan child of Silver Spoon and Candle, but the asset was not available to use, so I made my own version of the asset.

Originally, I was going to have the BFDI Lollipop be Laura Spoony, the daughter of Richard Spoony (Silver Spoon) and Margaret Spoony (Candle), but then I decided not to go with that, and made the decision to make a custom asset for Laura Spoony, which is the Candelabra asset.

In this AU, Laura Spoony is the infant daughter of Richard Spoony (Silver Spoon) and Margaret Spoony (Candle). Margaret is the mother, and Richard is the father.

Here are other pictures of the Spoony family.

Now with the handwritten note that Richard put inside the 2022 Lotus Emira, here is what the handwritten note says.

Here you go @quietcyclonemask I hope you like it.

In case anybody wants to use the asset, here you go. There are two versions. One with the flames and one without the flames.

Theodore "Theo" Thomas | BlackPanthaa (The Nobeds) (Nissan Skyline GT-R R34)

Note: I did not make this character, but the info about this character in this AU is based on a real person. So, remember, the events that happened are based on real events.

Note 2: Sorry for not uploading in a while. Gotta spend time with my family since Thanksgiving is coming up, and I also have a YouTube channel. Have a good Thanksgiving.

Bio

Theodore 'Theo' Thomas, better known online as BlackPanthaa, is a British YouTuber who is commonly known for his gaming videos which mainly involve cars and racing games along with some vlogs on his channel occasionally. Theo joined YouTube on February 27, 2012. The oldest video currently up on his channel is "LeftTriggerUK Introduction (GTA:SA-MP Gameplay)". He is also the husband of Meadow Thomas, who also has a YouTube channel. In one of his videos, Theo & his friend Matthew introduce themselves and start talking about themselves as well as the future of the channel and their upcoming content plans. Majority of the video consists of Panthaa & Matthew having casual conversations while playing GTA:SA-MP. BlackPanthaa's first username was TheMrMalro before being changed to LeftTriggerUK and later to BlackPanthaa. Theo has bought and owned 16 cars over the time of 13 years of his career on YouTube. The Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, Theo's signature car, has been his dream to get one for the longest time. He drove one in real-life back in April 2016, where he documents his drive and shares exterior and limited interior views, capturing the powerful engine's sound. Despite initial nervousness, the experience proves surprisingly manageable. On July 31 2018, Theo managed to buy himself a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 in Bayside Blue. He has done a couple of modifications to that car over the years such as installing an exhaust, adding more horsepower to it, installing LED lights, swapping the tires with the Nismo LMGT4 tires, he even let his wife Meadow learn how to drive stick in his Skyline in a parking lot. The R34 Skyline is the car that Theo would keep forever and this car is his all-time favorite.

Flo | KuruHS (The Nobeds)

Bio

Flo, also known as KuruHS, or simply just known as Kuru, is an Austrian YouTuber known for making gameplays of various racing games such as Need for Speed, Gran Turismo and many others. He started making his channel on Jul 1, 2007, and two years after, at the beginning he mainly carried on the channel World at Warcraft and then moved to the racing genre later in 2012. The first couple of his videos had no commentary. Kuru later introduced his voice in 2015 when he uploaded a video of him speedrunning FAST Racing NEO on the Wii U. Later, Kuru did a face reveal on February 9, 2017. As time went by, he also brought other racing games too such as FlatOut, Midnight Club, Forza Horizon, etc. He mainly plays old racing games from 2000s, although he also brought some modern racing games too. Kuru was also featured in Need for Speed: Most Wanted Pepega Mod, where his bio said, "The defeated King of Most Wanted. He'll do anything to give himself an edge. That includes selling you on mobile games. Remember, you can't trust anything he says." In this AU, Kuru's car is the 2014 Volkswagen GTI Roadster Vision Gran Turismo.

Here is a comparison between the objectified version of KuruHS, and his real-life counterpart.

Wataru Akiyama | Aki (Initial D)

Note 1: I changed the object from the request that one of the viewers told me. I wanted Wataru Akiyama to be a gear shifter as his object.

Note 2: The following info about this character is based on a character from the Initial D and MF Ghost series.

Wataru Akiyama, also known as Aki, is a street racer from Saitama Prefecture. Wataru along with Kai Kogashiwa are Project D's only returning opponents, as they had both raced either Takumi or Keisuke beforehand. Wataru is the only one who had raced both of them, although his race with Keisuke was unofficial. He later watches the final races between Project D and Sidewinder along with Nobuhiko and Sakamoto. He is seen with other teams congratulating Takumi after winning his battle against Shinji Inui. Many years later, Wataru became a commentator on the third round of the MFG. Wataru's car is a 1985 Toyota Corolla Levin 1600 GT APEX Zenki (W) Spec.

Comparison

Here is my version of Wataru Akiyama compared to the anime counterpart.

Wataru Akiyama as Blueberry Cupcake (Requested by @quietcyclonemask)

Okay, this one is LONG OVERDUE. This was requested by @quietcyclonemask and I'm honestly not too proud of this one because I don't think this object is a good fit, like at all. But he kept asking, so here he is. Wataru Akiyama as Blueberry Cupcake.

I tried to talk @quietcyclonemask out of this one because again, I never thought this object would be a good fit for Wataru Akiyama, but he kept INSISTING me to use this object specifically.

So, yeah. The request is now done. But I want to remind you @quietcyclonemask that I will NOT be keeping this. I will change Wataru Akiyama's object into something else, and I'm going to be choosing the object that I think would suit best for him.

I'm just putting this out because it's long overdue, so, here he is. So please, @quietcyclonemask stop being so pushy. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings.

Jann Mardenborough (Gran Turismo) (Dallara GP3/13)

Note: The info about this character is based on a real person. So, remember, the events that happened are based on real events.

Bio

Jann Mardenborough is a professional race car driver who originally had no previous motorsport experience, having played sim racing video games instead, particularly the Gran Turismo game series on PlayStation systems. Early in his life, his dream was to become a race car driver. However, his family did not have the money to afford his racing career. They didn't know who to sponsor, which led to Jann shelving the idea as he got older. He went to his friend's house to play Gran Turismo on the PlayStation 1. He played it so often, he eventually got his own PlayStation console and a copy of Gran Turismo. He also played more Gran Turismo entries that came out for the PlayStation 2 and the PlayStation 3, the latter which he used a force feedback steering wheel and pedals. In 2011, he became the third and youngest winner of the GT Academy, beating 90,000 entrants to earn a professional racing contract with Nissan. During his career, he has finished on the podium in his class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, won races and contended for titles in GT3 and junior formula cars, and competed at the highest level in Super GT, Super Formula and the FIA World Endurance Championship. He also served himself as a stunt double in the 2023 Gran Turismo movie to recreate a scene where Jann Mardenborough crashed at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2015, which killed one spectator. When Jann competed in the GP3 Formula races, the car he used in those race is the 2013 Dallara GP3/13 Nismo.

BFDI Flower with Ferrari Monza SP2 (Requested)

This was requested by @princesslaney for me to do this. Here you go. Now I wasn't sure what car you wanted her to be with, so I added a 2022 Ferrari Monza SP2. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Kyoichi Sudo (Initial D)

Note: The info about this character is based on a character from the Initial D anime series.

Bio

Kyoichi Sudo is the leader of Emperor. Like the rest of the team, he drives a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. He has a long-time rivalry with Ryosuke Takahashi. He is also a graduate of the Todo School. Unlike other students, however, he doesn't drive a Honda and doesn't use Spoon parts on his car. He is one of the few racers to actually defeat Takumi Fujiwara in a battle, with the others being Bunta Fujiwara and (arguably) Toshiya Joshima. Many years later, Kyoichi Sudo became a Rally Racer and then he was a guest commentator of the MFG. Kyoichi's Lancer is specifically the 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR.

Koichiro Iketani (Initial D) (Requested)

Note 1: Before I begin, I wanna let you guys know that this request was overdue. This was requested by @quietcyclonemask who asked me to do this character. Now I know this design was not exactly what you asked for, but you have to remember, I'm in charge of this AU, and I should decide what suits the character design or not. Again, I'm sorry that this design isn't what you asked for, I was having a rough time. I was going to post this yesterday, but my dog's passing got in my way. I'm gonna miss him. Anyway, I am feeling better, so here you go.

Note 2: The info about this character is based on the character from the Initial D anime series.

Bio

Koichiro Iketani is the leader of the Akina SpeedStars. While not a highly skilled street racer, he is likely the most skilled member of the SpeedStars, and leads the team passionately. He works at a Gas Station with Takumi Fujiwara and Itsuki Takeuchi, eventually introducing the two to Gunma's street racing scene by taking them up to Akina to meet his team. He later got invited to Project D, and then a couple of years later. Koichiro's car is a 1991 Nissan Silvia S13.

Comparison

Here is a comparison between an object version with the anime counterpart.

Bonus

As a bonus, like what @quietcyclonemask requested, here is Koichiro Iketani right next to a Nissan Skyline GT-R Calsonic JGTC500. I know you requested the GT1 model, but it's not exactly a JGTC-GT1, it's just the closest that I could find. So here you go. I hope you enjoy it. :)

Again, sorry that this was overdue, but better late than never.

Rin Hojo (Initial D)

Note: The info about this character is based on a character from the Initial D anime series.

Bio

Rin Hojo is the infamous Grim Reaper (死神 Shinigami; God of Death) of Kanagawa and Go Hojo's elder brother. He was engaged to a girl named Kaori, however, conflict between them including Kaori's affair with Ryosuke Takahashi made her commit suicide. The death of Kaori led to Rin disappearing from the racing scene, resenting Ryosuke and isolating himself for a few years to mourn Kaori. Years after, Rin unofficially returned to the racing scene. His car is a 1993 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec R32.
