[ IV v V ] RESULTS

05 - Tick & Tock [Source: Adventures In Hypnospace]
- steampunk associated media/genres 
- time, time travel & anachronistic music
- tiktok, it's trends & associated artists
------------------------
First repeat of'a projectdohikey... back inta Hypnospace. These two are an odd bunch- based one onea those TikToks that they rep, I think it said it was made by AtomicTwins or somethin? I dunno... The important thing is that it had some steampunk people called "Tick" and "Tock" and that 30 second vid created a character somehow, heh.

These two are honestly, eh, not tha worst? Could definitely use a bit more... Maybe try and tie 'em to an actual steampunk media instead of just tha vague concept? Or just expand on some made up lore for 'em, there's plenty a angles for yer sub to go.

DICE 1 FACE 1 - DJ Sray
Art by: Renegade Jade
Bio by: JohnnyGang

> Have you come to challenge her? Well, you better hope you brought your best, because it's on! Owner of a club that shares her own name, strikingly similar to a character from some other platformer, and queen of the dance floor, DJ Sray is ready to dance 'till you drop (or explode, depending on how you react to making the wrong inputs). So, get ready, because she'll be sure to show you who has the best moves in town!

THEIR FOCUS SOURCES ARE:
- The I Wanna Be The Guy franchise, its fangames, and general indie/infamously difficult platformer games
(I Wanna Kill The Guy, I Wanna Be The Guy: Gaiden, I Wanna Be The Boshy, I Wanna Be The Adazel)
(Cave Story, Celeste, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Ninja Gaiden)

- The Touhou franchise, its fancontent, and general Dōjin soft or bullet hell games
(Night Of Nights, Bad Apple, Beloved Tomboyish Girl, Marisa Stole The Precious Thing)
(Melty Blood, Just Shapes And Beats, Umineko, DoDonPachi)

- Rhythm games, music popularized by them, and the call and response method
(Space Channel 5, Parappa The Rapper, Deemo, Mad Rat Dead)
(I Don't Dance, Once In A Lifetime, My Generation, Boys Keep Swinging)

- Dancing, instructional dance music and sentient machinery
(Dancing Queen, Shut Up And Dance, Do The Mario, Watch Me)
(Mega Man, Mr. Roboto, Robot Boy, Paranoid Android)

But if they get a high enough roll, you may see something else pop up!
----------------------------------------
It's one thing to take pride over one's skill in certain activities or hobbies, but it's another to be willing to take the life of those less fortunate or skill-full as you. There is no need for me to get involved though; chances are, her hubris will be her downfall.
