Character Name & Journal: Hibiki Tachibana [personal profile] determinationtofist

Guild Affiliation: In all likeliness, she's probably going to go with the Alliance. She already works with a government-run group back home, after all.

Character Motivations & IC/OOC Goals: So, a big part in Hibiki's character is how much she treasures her relationships and connections... especially one in particular, being her bond with a girl named Miku Kohinata, her precious sunshine and—let's face it—the love of her life. Having suddenly vanished without a word or any kind of warning, she's understandably going to be pretty... upset. She already worries Miku plenty just by being a Symphogear Wielder, and they also just went through a lot together. Vanishing off the face of the Earth so suddenly would be bound to make anybody worried, and the fact that she can't even contact home to let anybody know that she's safe is... stress-inducing.

Plus, more obviously, she's gonna miss all of them a whole lot. She'll do her best to remain positive, but ultimately it'll be up to others to try and figure out when she's actually happy and when she's using her smile as a facade to hide her unease. Fair warning, though, it's not easy to tell. Fact is, she's probably going to spend a good chunk of time focusing on trying to find a way back home, even if she has no idea where to even start with that.

Would it probably help if some castmates ended up here? Probably, but while I am definitely going to try and yell into the void asking for said-castmates (my kingdom for a Miku muse), how successful that'll be is... debatable. She'll adjust with time, obviously, but get ready for Sad Useless Lesbian hours.

As for her work as a Hero... SHE'S ACTUALLY GONNA BE STRUGGLING HERE FOR A BIT. Obviously, if she needs to save somebody or don her Symphogear, she will, but she's kind of intimidated by the idea of being, like, famous. She would really like to conceal her identity, BUT UNFORTUNATELY... she is anything but subtle. No, like, literally.

Her abilities are powered by SONG. Her gear DOES NOT come with a mask, she's essentially singing her heart out whenever she has to use her Gear to it's full potential, and again... SHE CAN'T COVER HER FACE. Her gear converts her into her gear, so any clothes she was wearing at the time go away until the gear comes back, where it then converts her back into what she was initially wearing. SO THIS MAKES MASKS A LITTLE COMPLICATED. She is about as unsubtle as you can get, both in her fighting style and the fact she'll likely end up becoming some kind of idol if she's not careful.

She needs help... and as do I, actually. If anybody has any suggestions on how to conceal Hibiki's identity (either an ic suggestion or an ooc one), by all means, please shoot them here. She absolutely wants to help and save people, but as exciting as being famous sounds... being recognized wherever she goes sounds kinda stressful to her.

Plot/CR Hooks: Hibiki is what happens when you mix Magical Girls with Mecha and Idols. She's a Magical Girl powered by a hi-tech outfit of Karaoke Armor known as a Symphogear, which is powered by Phonic Gain, a type of energy generated via singing. The Symphogear provides the music and backup, and the user has lyrics related to their mental state beamed into their mind to sing as they fight. I am not kidding.

Hibiki lives her life determined to help and save others. Whether it's as simple as saving a cat from a tree or punching gods, Hibiki will be there. She's honestly a pretty powerful beast... to the point that it's honestly a little silly at times, even to other characters in the show, who find it hard to ever imagine Hibiki losing in a proper fight. It especially helps when you consider that her gear has a conceptual advantage against Gods and other divine entities.

That being said, she is still a teenager, and a shining beacon of positivity and faith in humanity. Her true power comes not from a closed fist, but an open hand that wants to connect with others. She'll be drawn to you if you have good vibes, and she'll be drawn to you even if you have bad vibes. She will want to be your friend and you will not escape this.
