Plot

The main story is set at the Amaranth Talent Institue in Los Angeles California. Venus Ark has recently docked in the city to spectate the new student's debuts so as to scout new idols. When Lucia Skyblue and her sisters enter the academy, Elza makes it her personal goal to obtain Lucia, due to her making the academy's highest rank in her joining audition. Will Lucia withstand the charms of Venus Ark?

Location

The RP is primarily set at the talent institue. The school itself is located on top of an exceptionally large hill, with the main building being at the top. In addition to performing arts, the school also teaches magic to those with the potentional.

The school's classes are organized by skill level, with the highest being the Magical Class, the second highest being the Stageshow Class, the second lowest being the Jewel Class, and the lowest being the '''Starting Class. Lucia initially was going to be placed in the Stageshow class with her sisters and the majority of the new students, but the end-of-performance Golden Transition '''convinced the faculty to start her in the magical class.

The school consists of an ampitheatre, a traditional theatre, a live theatre, which is used for performances, a track and sports stadium, a main building where classes are held, both basic and specialized, and the student and faculty dorms, which cover the majority of the hill around the school buildings, along with scattered parks and recreation areas, which sometimes include outdoor stages. The dorms are known for being akin to the size of a house, and can house up to six students. The faculty dorms are roughly the same size, but smaller as they house only one person, and sometimes their family as well.

New Systems

Special Drama: This wonderful stage appeal combines the acting of PriPara's making drama's with the simplicity of Aikatsu!'s special appeals.

Gloden Transition: A difficult cylume-change-like manuever that can only be performed when an idol is 100% in sync with their true personality. Few idols have managed to perform a golden transition with the fake stage personality, but it can be done if the idol is completely in sync with this stage personality.

Merge Appeal: A special appeal performed by units usually comprised of 2 or 3 members. The appeal uses magic in the sense that the members merge together into one being to perform a Special Drama, then split again. Some performances are done by two or more idols in merge form the entire show, though these are difficult to pull off as they require lots of physical strength.

Perfect Combination Aura:  An aura that can be achieved when a unit's members become completely synced with one another. Perfect combination auras are rarely achieved, as they would usually appear in a unit's debut, and rarely are "gained" later. It is usual for units whose members share similar major events in their past or members who share major personality traits to have a perfect combination aura. In addition, unlike unit auras, instead or combining the member's auras, a perfect combination aura will be an entirely new aura, unless the group has more than 5 members.

Changed Systems

Fitting Rooms: Instead of the classic fitting room or the new one, the idol inserts the cards into a door, proceeds down a hallway, opens a second door with an "Aikatsu Key," which is different for every idol, and walks down a diving plank, then jumps through three hoops. The first hoop is made of snowflakes, the second of autumn leaves, and the final one of flowers. Going through a hoop puts on a coord piece, just as jumping through a card would.

Cards: The cards have a new design, having a "Ranking" on the back. SPRs have a king ranking, PRs have a king ranking, Rares have a Jack ranking, and Normals have a Joker ranking. This is on the back of a card, along with the type. In addition, "Sexy" types are "Lovely" types in America.

New Brands

Prophecy Child: Prophecy Child is Lucia's brand that she created once she enrolled in Amaranthine Talent Institue. (Only Magical Class students and Ambassador Students, who have the job of promoting the academy and scouting idols, are allowed to have their own brands. Other students can use brands created outside of the academy, or already existing academy brands.) The brand is for the "Next Generation" of Idols, and is unlike most brands in that it is a mixed-type brand, so it can produce cards or any type. The brand usually incorporates blue, white, and gold as its theme clors, sometimes using green. Its dresses usually mix regal designs with more practical dresses that could be worn in any circumstances, even battle. In addition, when an Idol proves itself to the Aikatsu system while using Prophecy Child, the system will upgrade the coord they are wearing to a dress of at least PR ranking.

Starry Disco: This brand is inspired by neon lights and colors, as well as retro deisgns. it was created by Lucia's younger sister Amara after she became an ambassador student. The brand uses bright pinks, oranges, and yellows, as well as holo-fabric. It is a pop-type brand, and aims to be a brand for energetic idols. It's dresses often take design ideas from retro dresses, and are often very pratical to dance in. The brand also utilezes circular shapes in its dresses often, as its motif is a disoc ball.

Modern Machinery: This brand is inspired by tachnology and machines from all eras, and was created by Lucia's younger sister Asha after becoming an ambassador student. The brand often uses darker blues, grays, greens, and metallic colors and fabrics. It is a cool-type brand, and is a brand for intelligent idols. It often uses gears and chains in its dresses to make them resemble machines, as well as motherboard designs to resemble newer technology. Its motif is a cluster of gears, so many of its dresses have a gear somewhere on them.

Crscendoll: This brand, inspried by both musical designs like the treble clef and the beauty of nature, was created by Lucia's younger sister Dahlia after becoming an ambassador student. The brand uses purples, blues, greens, and many natural designs like leaves. It is a lovely-type (sexy-type) brand that often used by more natural, modelling-focused idols. It uses designs such as staff-lines and clefs combined with natural designs like leaves and pebbles to create a calm feeling. The brand's motif is a leave-shaped feather.

Suite Eclipse: A gothic brand inspired by mythological creatures and playing cards was created by Lucia's final younger sister, Luna Marie, Luna for short. The brand uses draker colors like red and black, sometimes throwing white into the mix. It is a cool-type brand, and often attracts gothic idols. Its dresses use motifs such as hearts and spades, as well as other motifs like fangs. It has a more medieval look, and some dresses are directly inspired by vampires. It often incorporates mini-hats into its dresses. Its motif is a spade with unnaturally pointed corners.

HollyWood Boulevard: This lovely-type brand was created my the girls' mother during her idol career, and is amixed-type brand. It was used by the girls before the created their own brands. It often has dresses inspired by popular movie and TV characters, with some sort of feminine of stage-like twist on the dress. It is used by many idols, but has not produced a PR since Lucia's mother stopped being an idol.

Characters

Lucia Peridot Skyblue

Lucia is 12-13 the time of this story, and is not in a romantic relationship with anybody. In her own words, "I have never found a boy worth even a second of my time." She entered the academy as a Magical Class idol, and created the brand 'Prophecy Child. 'She doesn't come from Earth, and like the rest of her family, she is a Lumarian Reincarnation. She is immortal, and has unnaturally slow aging, which is a trait her sisters share. She has blue eyes and blond hair, which is medium-length and falls just past her shoulders. She has bangs, which when cut are sraight an messy, and when grown out of leaflet-like and smooth. She usually wears it down, but holds it back with a sky blue headband while training. She has Her brithday is August 20th, which she shares with no existing Aikatsu Idol. She is very fucosed on her Aikatsu, with a focus on stage shows and acting. She isn't the type to appraoch people and make the first move in a friendship, so most people have to make the first move towards her is they wish to become friends. She is usually branve, intelligent, caring, and emotional, but falls into a depressed state when alone for a long period of time, which is her fatal flaw.

Additional Information: Lucia has a "fuller figure" than most idols, which often causes insecurities. Her aura is golden stars, silver crystals, and broze flowers circling her. Lucia has had "too many" identity scandals, most of them theories about her not being human, which she isn't. (She is Lumarian, a species from another dimension that appears in a human form, when in their truest form they really are just an object, as that is the magical core of their being... and I've started to ramble. Don't ask unless you want a lecture.) Elza has increasing interest in Lucia, and has blackmailed the school multiple times, resulting in Lucia fully considering joining Venus Ark so as to prevent an scandals or other problems Elza might cause for the school. She has multiple progression auras depending on what she is trying to convey.

Amara Topaz Skyblue

Amara, along with Lucia's other younger sisters, is 11-12 at the time of the story. Amara isn't in a romantic relationship, probably due to somewhat eccentric personality. She entered the academy as a StageShow Class idol, and created the brand Starry Disco Safter becoming an '''Ambassador student. '''Just like the rest of her sisters, she is a Lumarian Reincarnation and has unnaturally slow aging. She has green eyes and short pixie-cut blond hair. She keeps one part of her hair long, so that she can clip it up in various places. Her birthday is October 21st.She is usually very happy, and has lots of physical strength. (Though she still has a female body type. She doesn't have a bunch of bulging muscles.) She is quick to run into danger first without thinking, though she becomes bored extremely easily. She has not been noticed by Venus Ark because she did not deliver an extremely advanced debut show. She has a "mediocre" aura, comprised of disco balls, floating orange stars, and an orange circle with a white huting bow symbol in the center of it underneath her. She has multiple progression auras depending on what she is trying to convey.

Asha Sunset Skyblue

Asha is Lucia's younger sister, and is of 11-12 years of age at the time. She is not in a romantic relationship, due to her being somewhat unsocial.

She has not been noticed by Venus Ark, has she has yet to discover a real idol personality, and has a somewhat weak aura, comprised 0s, 1s, and snowfalkes. She has a progression aura, though she has yet to unlock it. (Because she has not yet unlocked her normal progression aura, she can not have multiple yet.)

Dahlia Sapphire Skyblue

Dahlia is Lucia's younger sister, and is 11-12 years of age. She is not currently in a romantic relationship, mostly because most boys are too nervous to talk to her. She entered the academy as a StageShow Class idol, and created the brand Crescendoll after becoming an Ambassador Student. Like the rest of her sisters... You know what, I'm sick of this sentance! You get the point! She has brown eyes and dark brown hair, along with fair skin. She usually waers her hair down. She focuses on her modelling work as an idol, and often wears purple. Elza has taken notice of Dahlia, but is waiting to see more before considering scouting her. Her aura is made of purple butterflies, aqua vines, and falling leaves. She has multiple progression auras depending on what she is trying to convey.

Luna Marie Skyblue

Luna is Lucia's final younger sister and is 11-12 at the time. She is not in a romantic relationship. She entered the academy as a StageShow Class idol, and created the brand Suite Eclipse after becoming an '''Ambassador Student. '''She has white hair and misty blue eyes, along with pale skin. She wears her hair up in pigtails, though they aren't curly. She focuses on acting work, and has a vampire stage personality, though this can change depending on the event. (She can model her personality after many other creatures, including unicorns. I just couldn't not mention unicorns.)  She, like Dahlia, has been acknowledged by Elza. Her aura is white bows, black crystal hearts, and a lace circle underneath her. She can have multiple progression auras depending on what she is trying to convey.

New Events

The Amaranthine Cup: An annual event hosted by the academy every Spring to determine its top student overall.

The Solar Cup: A competition Lucia challenges Elze to later on in the story.

Buskers' Festival: An annual event held every three years in the fall by the academy where students perform at assorted locations throughout LA's streets, trying to gather as many votes as possible. (It's only held every three years because the location permits take time to set up.)

MultiPara: An event held every summer where the academy is divided into 5 areas. (Song, Dance, Modelling, Acting, and Progression.) The goal of the idols competing is to collect the pieces of a personal PR or SPR. Each area provides a piece. (The Dance shoes, the acting accessory, the modelling top, and the song skirt. THe progresstion prvides SPR.) Once an idol has started to work on one area, all of which are beaten by moving up a chain of powerful opponents in stage battles, up the master of the area, they can't work on another, as a matter of fairness.

Christmas Debut: A mega-concert put on by the academy every year to debut the new brands created by Magical Class idols and Ambassador Students.
