CHARACTER: mysterymouse

A dimensional droid made by Disney, this rover was made to research the JETBLACK, and stole the means to enter it from his corporate masters. After claiming the JETBLACK as his own, the droid disguised itself to look more humanoid, and came up with a pseudonym- mysterymouse- as saying his real name would alert his location to the company. Now, he knows he's on a death mission to right his wrongs.

To round off the first half of our inaugural round, we're returning to the wax museum where Hidgens and Stupendiguy seem to be discussing their placement in the grand scheme of things. In one corner stands the new version of the first of a long line of theatre reps, but standing in the other is an up-and-coming Fall Guy not willing to give up his ground for the little nerdcore reps get. Though their interaction may have been more peaceful than the last few, one still must come out on top. Vote responsibly.

**003: Erdrick**

The hero draws near! Hailing from the land of Aliahan, Roto, also known by the legendary title of Erdrick, is the legendary hero other heroes around the world strive to be. Destined to take down the sinister Baramos and restore peace to the world, Erdrick can’t do it alone and teams up with mages, warriors, martial artists, priests, and more in order to complete his quest. Erdrick as a title was later passed down to future generations of heroes, becoming something only a select few legends can use.

Across time and space, Erdrick could feel that something was off - as such, he immediately went off to find some peace. By chance, he ended up in the Great Lilac...him and a lone Slime, that is. While he knows he can rest easy in the Great Lilac, he can’t shake the feeling that another hero has fallen somewhere far away. Perhaps he’ll get his closure another day...

<=RESULTS - WR1M5=>

“Don’t speak too much, just let it show – we’re strong enough to let love grow.”

What they say about her song:
“A quiet anthem for the kind of love that doesn’t rush, doesn’t beg – it simply blooms.”

Some songs arrive like storms.
This one breathes like dawn.
A story of love that doesn’t need to be named – only seen, felt, and held in the quiet.
Mirage sings of a softness that doesn’t weaken, but heals.
This extended version unfolds slowly, like a garden opening its eyes.
Let it be a soundtrack for anyone learning to trust the gentle pace of real connection.
