HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Unlike your typical profile page, the four profiles will be shown within a "video" (which is being transcribed here for obvious reasons). This makes for a longer read, but at least it will entertain you for a while before the long break I will take to write the first episode.

If you own any of the OCs shown here, comment next to the user comment here section to confirm that all info is correct ! If not, just point out the discrepancies and it will be edited accordingly.

This being said... Have a good read !

in the last edition, seiyuu academy has greatly emphasized the importance of being a united class and to prevail on the others . . .

. . . but we've decided to go for something else this time around !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? （???） ― [growls] LET ME GO !!

HAVE WE FOUND OUR NEW YUELIANG ALREADY . . .

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 2 （??? 2） ― Please, please... Can I remove the blindfold and whatever is cuffing my wrists now?

. . . OR IS THE STAFF FOLLOWING EDEN'S CRAZY "EDUCATIONAL" METHODS?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― Sorry, orders from the direction. I'll free your arms but please, don't touch the blindfold just yet. We'll tell you when it's time~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― The only thing the direction talked about was the blindf-

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― [stuffs his hand in HOON's mouth] Welcome in Seiyuu Academy !! You're now sitting next to three other people from different classes as a way for you to socialize before getting sorted into your respective groups.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 2 （???） ― Then why blindfolding and handcuffing us? I mean, our hands are free now... But was that necessary?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― [moving HAO's hand away] About that... You can now remove the bl-

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 3 （???） ― [in JAPANESE] What are you saying? I can't understand ANYTHING you're saying !!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― Dude, she doesn't speak Korean. Where are the translator earpieces?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― ... YOU were supposed to bring them.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― Excuse me? I thought we had agreed you would bring them here.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― What the hell... [sighs, then in JAPANESE] I was saying, you can now remove the blindfolds and see if you recognize the other people currently in the room. My fellow staff member will bring earpieces for easier communication within a few minutes.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 3 （???） ― [in JAPANESE] Oh, thank you !

THE FOUR PEOPLE IN THE ROOM REMOVE THEIR BLINDFOLDS...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? （???） ― ... I'm sorry, I don't recognize any of you.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 4 （???） ― Oh, I'm not a celebrity... Of course you wouldn't.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 2 （???） ― I think... I know who you are, green chair ! I think it's difficult to forget you considering your appearance, actually...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? （???） ― ... You know the implications of that statement, right?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 2 （???） ― [nervously shaking her hands] I DIDN'T MEAN THAT...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? （???） ― [chuckles] Sorry, I was just messing with you~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 3 （???） ― ...?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 4 （???） ― That girl has been awfully quiet until now. Can you understand us?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? （???） ― Mhm... Let's try with English ! [in ENGLISH] Hi ! Can you understand me?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 3 （???） ― [crying, in broke ENGLISH] My English no good !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― ... Oh goodness. Bring those earpieces, now !!

FLASH FORWARD TO THE PRESENT, EVERYONE HAS THEIR (GODDAMN) EARPIECES.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 4 （???） ― Let's introduce ourselves, shall we?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― Let's start by following the seat order then. Purple chair, teal chair, green chair and, finally, pink chair.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 3 （???） ― [in JAPANESE] Hello... !! I'm Guan Xiaoqiong, 22, but you can call me... Rainbow ! I can only speak Mandarin and Japanese fluently, sorry...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 2 （???） ― [in JAPANESE] That's fine ! I could understand you very well~ Even though I'm not that fluent myself... [switching back to KOREAN] Me next ! I'm Nam Haneul, almost 23, but you can call me Skye ! That's how people know me... I guess?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL （CLASS TWO） ― Well, the nugu soloist curse striked me, so I don't think I'm known at all to begin with...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? （???） ― [nervously] Well... Not like many of us here are really known for anything, actually...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? （???） ― I'm Deja Nam, 22, an actress under Gold Medalist... I guess I'm quite known? But if I had to tell whether I'm successful or not for this reason, I'd say I'm not... People know me because I'm different, essentially.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG （CLASS THREE） ― [waiting a few seconds due to the translation] That must be difficult... But you will eventually show them what you're capable of, I know this !!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM （CLASS ONE） ― [also waiting a few seconds for the translation] Thank you so much !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ??? 4 （???） ― And finally... I'm Moon Hyeji, almost 23... I'm not in the showbiz, actually.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL （CLASS TWO） ― You're not?! I bet you'd be very popular if you were, though ! You're so gorgeous.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― Now then, let's go on with our first question for this segment... Write down a small introduction for the viewers, and it will be shown in your presentation picture. Let's start with you, GUAN XIAOQIONG.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BIRTH NAME ― Guan Xiaoqiong (关晓琼).
✹ ﹒ ﹒ OTHER NAMES ― Rainbow Guan.
✹ ﹒ ﹒ ETHNICITY ― Han Chinese.
✹ ﹒ ﹒ BIRTHDATE ― July 17th, 2001.
✹ ﹒ ﹒ BIRTHPLACE ― Mohe, Heilongjiang, China.
✹ ﹒ ﹒ HEIGHT ― 175 cm.

Guan Xiaoqiong, known by her stage name RAINBOW (レインボ), is a member of the independent Japanese-Chinese group AD MARE, whose performances are mostly dance-vocal based.

. ⁺ ꕊ Xiaoqiong has a public AO3 account named supermonkeyball, in honor of one of her favorite videogames. Despite the website's notoriety for its horrendous contents, Xiaoqiong never writes anything apart from weird yet wholesome crossovers between glams idols and favorite videogames.

. ⁺ ꕊ She has an unhealthy obsession with the number 5 and its multiples, which results in rather funny but also concerning situations. For example, if the volume of the radio isn't a multiple of 5 and she notices, she'll be physically disturbed and change it herself; glam also needs to finish glams meals in a number of bites equal to any multiple of 5, and so on.

. ⁺ ꕊ Xiaoqiong's absolute favorite anime is Arakawa Under The Bridge, an adaptation of the homonymous manga by Nakamura Hikaru. She's immensely attracted by the insanity of the plot and of the characters, which reflect many doubts concerning today's society under a new light.

────────────────────────

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM （CLASS ONE） ― Oh, so that's why she couldn't speak with us... But she did mention she wasn't fluent in anything else...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MOON HYEJI （CLASS FOUR） ― I guess... Nice to meet you, though.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG （CLASS THREE） ― Thank you ! Nice to meet you all as well~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL （CLASS TWO） ― Wow... Isn't that Latin?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG （CLASS THREE） ― It is ! It means "From sea to sea", and it's our group's greeting ! It fits with our concept.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MOON HYEJI （CLASS FOUR） ― That's very interesting.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― Why are you here, Xiaoqiong?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG （CLASS THREE） ― Mhm... You see...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG （CLASS THREE） ― I studied Forest Management in college, so this was not the direction I had envisioned... But ultimately, this is what I want to do with my life ! I learnt Japanese on my free time and worked hard to become a performer

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG （CLASS THREE） ― The real problem is... Since we just debuted, and with very few resources at that, our group isn't very popular... So as banal as it may sound, I'm trying to bring more popularity to AD MARE for my fellow members !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL （CLASS TWO） ― [clapping her hands] Good luck !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― What a curious choice for her role models...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― Indeed... I wonder when she'll find out?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― Well... It's your turn, NAM HANEUL.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL （CLASS TWO） ― Oh, sure !

IT IS NOW NAM HANEUL'S TURN TO WRITE HER GREETING. SHE DOES SO WITH A BRIGHT SMILE ON HER FACE !

VERY CUTE.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MOON HYEJI （CLASS FOUR） ― Oh, a soloist... You gave vibes of a girl group member, actually.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MOON HYEJI （CLASS FOUR） ― [shrugs] It didn't have other implications, actually. You do you.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― ... Well, why are you here, Haneul?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL （CLASS TWO） ― To promote myself, obviously ! It's so hard to maintain yourself with no resources...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MOON HYEJI （CLASS FOUR） ― Work hard, and you'll achieve what you truly cherish. Maybe once I take over my da- I meant, I hope that the current labels will recognize your talents and take you in. Hopefully you'll get better promotions~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL （CLASS TWO） ― Aw, you girls... Thank you so much !

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM （CLASS ONE） ― [unconvinced by HYEJI's words] ... Bombastic side eye.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― [in a hurry] DEJA NAM, you're next ! We don't have much time and we still have another activity left.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM （CLASS ONE） ― Damn, OK... I got this !

DEJA NAM IS NEXT.

SO MUCH UNSERIOUSNESS COMING FROM THE GREETING ALONE ALREADY...!

BUT SHE SEEMS TO BE THE FUNNY TYPE, AT LEAST.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― ... She scares me. She seems dangerous. The elements mentioned together make me feel uneasy.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ MOON HYEJI （CLASS FOUR） ― What is scary in my profile, exactly?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" （STAFF） ― Oh, nothing. It's just that Hoon has a fervid imagination.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HOON" （STAFF） ― Sure... [whispering to himself] I fear that those two words that were crossed out are not a mistake...

FEVEN'S CORNER !!

Hello there ! How was this part?

This part turned out more boring than expected, unfortunately... Even if they're interesting characters, their vibes don't exactly match... But the next ones might be more interesting considering the potential dynamics between the contestants in each batch. This being said, let's clear some doubts you might have !

1. The trainees were ordered based on alphabetical order, then split into classes based on timezones (which is why I asked for them in the form too). For the first batch, I selected the first person of each class; for the second batch, I selected the second person of each class, and so on.

2. For the reason stated above, DEJA NAM and MOON HYEJI are respectively the 4th and 7th contestants overall rather than 3rd and 4th.

3. I didn't write a blurb for HYEJI because she's not a celebrity, but she'll have a Wiki page just like everyone else.

4. Trivias are not completely identical to what you submitted. They were either shortened or enriched, as well as revised grammar wise: this is to ensure no one gets less recognition based solely on the formatting of the profile...!

5. "Who are YUELIANG and EDEN? The two people mentioned at the beginning." They're contestants from the first edition ! The former is mostly known for being obsessed with his "werewolf image", whereas the second was later exposed for rather... peculiar educational habits in his former group, AUTOMATA (notably, he used to handcuffs his members. I won't get into detail for that, though !).

6. There will be a pre-voting by the end of the profiles' upload ! It will be open to both readers and appliers, but you won't be able to vote for your own OC(s). These small clips are also helpful to get a glimpse of the contestants' personalities before the show starts...! Realistically speaking, it's harder to vote with barely any basis to do so, so I would say this is incredibly helpful in this aspect.
