CHARACTER REPRESENTED: Gecs Maniac

Think you’re so fucking tough? So fucking cool, huh? Compared to this creep you’ll pale in comparison, and you’d better believe that’s saying something. The master of ghosting you (yes you, specifically) is titled “Gecs Maniac,” and she’s got more than enough experience to prove it. Formerly a nobody beyond her Ghost-type fascination, this freaky broad’s developed a taste for the loud, proud and peculiar, and whether you like it or not getting up in her business will lead to screaming from someone, for better… or, if we’re honest, exclusively for worse.

CHARACTER REPRESENTED: Dream Sweet

Between this world and the next lies a realm some know as "Hawaii: Part II." Greeting those who sail these treacherous seas is Dream Sweet, the siren of spirits. And tonight, she's taken a voyage away from her duties to show herself to the living world and bring forth the soothing promises of eternal bliss. (Plus, she has a favor to do for a certain whale.) In the gallows and the ghettos, this siren has seen around, and she'll bring all she can to last in the competition... lest she return to obscure, with so much left to sing. 音楽殺人の自発的な犠牲者にならないでください。
