thank you so much for enjoying them! especially yyj, they definitely took the most effort to redesign because i didnt feel that sticking to the mmj-but-new-colors designs of the in game versions made sense when exploring the au further... (and also because the mmj outfits are ridiculously hard to draw and i didnt want to have to draw that repeatedly but shhhhhh thats the secondary reason)

theres tons of stuff i havent shared about the units as a whole! i have sekais for them, vs for them (which everyone will get to see soon! ive drawn 3/5 so far and the last two will be on the way soon enough, i strained my shoulder the other day and i havent been able to draw since because i want it to fully recover first), so much random little interactions and details that never really come up... if you ever want to hear anything about a specific character just ask! i love talking about them :D

but since its the easiest thing to talk about without worrying about where im going with stuff, ill give you a bit of sekai lore! every unit starts with a miku and one other vs 👍
- aoharu is the only one im not committed to a sekai with yet. theyre hard to pin down. because generally ive considered giving them a park for their sekai to represent the idea of youth, but i could also see them retaining a school-based sekai (but even with it set in a different part of a school, it overlaps a lot with leoni... but i guess that wouldnt necessarily be a problem for reasons youll see soon enough). since i dont have a solid idea for a specific sekai setting yet, i also have the least clear ideas for their vs designs, but theyll likely also be all highschoolers in a band. besides miku, they start with len!
- yyj has the backstage sekai, a sprawling labyrinth of hallways and rooms. the kind of stuff youd expect to find, well, backstage! and some stuff youd potentially find at an idol agency too. theres rooms for meetings, practice, dressing rooms, and theres even the occasional door that leads to a stage... but the stages arent in use, theres no audience, nothings on in there unless they choose to turn it on. their second vs is luka, with their vs still being idols like mmj, although with the sekais lack of active performances, they also perform various backstage jobs
- fts has the alleyway sekai, which is just about what youd expect. the names pretty on the nose. pretty similar to the street sekai, but tighter, darker, really no open spaces in the same way. theres also a livehouse near where they typically land in the sekai, much like the ones found on and around vivid street. the livehouse is owned by kaito, their second starting vs! also their miku... might be a mikuo? im still debating back and forth on that. its a more masculine miku either way though ^^
- hapisen has the headquarters sekai, a superhero base set in a skyscraper overlooking a city below! for now they cant leave the tower to enter the city, but theres plenty of windows to see whats going on outside. and those going ons are........ quite a lot! the city is a very superhero-cartoon-y setting, theres always monsters and villains and battles going on out there where heroes show up to defeat their enemies and then the city magically restores itself shortly afterwards. within the tower itself theres a central meeting space with all your typical superhero gadgets and stuff, plus lots of other rooms elsewhere throughout the building for the vs and hapisen to practice for their shows and battles! their vs, obviously, are superheroes themselves, and their second vs is rin
- and last and certainly not least is kyushumi with the woodland sekai! its a very still, quiet forest, with aimlessly winding pathways throughout it. its got a sort of magical energy to it, more than just that of what a regular sekai would be like. and thats because its actually a fae forest! the vs are the fae themselves :D some of the unusually peaceful atmosphere is simply because its a sekai, but also because it is affected by the magic of the fae as well. there are areas for everyone to rest, clearings along the paths, but trying to leave the paths altogether is incredibly difficult, as the forest is very dense. their second vs is meiko, if you couldnt have guessed by process of elimination

aaaaaaand thats a lot of yapping! hopefully you enjoy some shuffle unit sekai lore :D feel free to hit me with questions about specific characters/character dynamics if youre ever curious, i love talking about this au if it wasnt super obvious already lol
