Massive Milgramsona art/info dump as a treat to myself!! Alas, my fatal flaw is being unable to shut up about anything even while simultaneously embarrassed/nervous to share, so here's literally all the info I have on her 😅

Profile:

Name: For the sake of posting online I’ll call her Rose!

Number: 012

Color: #E7355B

Age: She’d be 20 when Milgram started

Status: Milgram Staff, Machine Technician

Song genre: Pop/theater (a mix of Mahiru and Kazui's vibes)

Backstory: She is studying abroad in Japan to work on technology related to the mv machine when she stumbles into top secret info about the trials. Horrified at the lack of prior testing, she demands to be included in the experiment to make sure the brand new tech runs smoothly and doesn't harm anyone in the process. To prevent her leaking info to the public and deciding an extra participant wouldn't hurt, Milgram agrees.

Role: Rose performs routine maintenance and updates on the extraction machine, and checks in with prisoners' health to make sure it's not having any adverse effects. She listens in on the interrogations, ringing the bell to signal Es when the machine is ready for use (re: my theory on how it works >:3). She then watches the mvs after Es to make sure there are no glitches.

(Though she is a personal milgramsona, her role in the story is supposed to reflect the audience's experience overall when it comes to how much info we know, emotions we experiencing regarding guilt/responsibility, and how much power over events we actually have given the voting system and trial breaks.)

Trial 1

Jackalope's comments during trial commencement: Oh, I almost forgot participant 012, Rose. We've never had more than one staff member before, so we figured that sort of numbering would be fine. Hey, don't look at me, it's not like it was our idea to include her. She's not a prisoner -- the only crime she's committed is sticking her nose where it didn't belong... You can ask her for the details, but she's just here for maintenance on our extraction machine. It's not easy keeping that thing running smoothly, you know? As part of her duties, she'll be privy to all the same information as you, but don't let her be any more of a busybody than she already is -- she has absolutely no authority when it comes to your verdict decisions, got it?

MV: Mic Check - “Can anyone hear me?”

VD: Positive Feedback

Cover: Pathological Facade - Ghost

Her album would release last in line. The VDs aren't interrogations since there's been no crime -- Es asks about her duties and observations of the prison. In them, she admits her predictions that she and Es will eventually be on trial for their involvement in the prisoner's fates.

Thus, her mvs are focused on her emotions towards the prisoners, her pride in helping bring justice, and her guilt at providing Milgram a means to pass judgement on people she cared about. I'm going to Goncharov the actual mvs/songs, but Mic Check is generally an introduction to her job behind the scenes prepping the equipment that will allow the prisoners' songs to be heard, as well kick off symbolism of her as a performer herself. She'll make a comment about how the experiment is leading to tragedy, "as if someone said Macbeth" (then covers her mouth, as she's standing in a theater herself).

I kept getting tripped up looking for Deco*27 songs that worked and weren't already taken, so I decided to go with some favorites and vibe-matching songs from other artists!

Comments during trial closing: It's good to hear you weren't a pushover when Rose gave her thoughts on the verdicts -- you guys disagreed on quite a few of them, eh? Ah... so she's not the type to pick fights, is that it? I guess that explains how she's managed to get along with everyone. (sigh) Even you knew better than to get attached like that. Well, at least she's kept our machine up and running the whole time.

Trial 2

Commencement: Now I need to wake Rose. We're going to need some extra upgrades to our machine if we want to get the most out of this round of extractions. I've got a sneaking suspicion that she and her bleeding heart are going to try and sway you during this trial. Her duty is specifically to look out for the prisoners' safety, but yours is only to judge them. Don't forget that.

MV: Changement - “Don’t say ‘break a leg,’ if it might just break.”

VD: Control Variable

Cover: TOXY - Kujiragi

I did my best to write out the title pronunciation out in katakana since I wanted it as the name of the dance move, not a direct translation of meaning. I went with シャジェモ "sha-je-mo" as the closest I could get to the "shanj-mou" sound, but feel free to correct me if there's a better way to write it. The door is based off of various set designs for Clara's home in The Nutcracker. (There's no deep meaning that this is the only one not opening -- I realized too late all the others are cracked open and my art app doesn't have the tools to easily fix that so I'm sticking with it 😭)

A changement is a small jump in ballet -- I thought it was fun to combine that (which means "to change") with Control Variable (refering to the variable in an experiment that never changes). The video shows conflicting emotions as her decisions/inaction caused so much to happen between trials, yet at the same time she feels like there's so much she'll be unable to change even if she really wants to intervene. Her mvs show the prisoners pretty regularly (since they are her crime, she's realized), and the teaser line is paired with references to Mahiru's broken leg.

The thumbnail combines different areas of study -- mechanical, medical, musical, mathematical (theater spotlight, muscles, Weakness notes, motion formulas). I think it's super cool how many areas of expertise are passed around the fanbase when discussing the characters. I've picked up new facts about plants, food, anatomy, geography, music, animals language, (sigh. color theory.), hobbies, professions, mythology, etc from fans with different fields of knowledge. While that's one of my favorite aspects of the project from the outside, I think it would be super intimidating to someone on the inside trying to tackle so much information at once.

Closing: As for Rose... (laughs) I thought she was dooming herself before--! Not only has she gotten hopelessly attached to everyone over the course of this trial, she's even started a relationship with one of the prisoners! And of all the people she could have chosen... Eh? Oh no, we have no policies against that for our staff. I mean, the whole point of Milgram is to explore human nature, the power of emotions, the complexities of connections, all that crap. I'm just grateful she shows a bit more common sense when she's operating the machine...

Trial 3

MV: Showstopper - “There won’t be applause, but I’ll take a bow, okay?”

VD: Please Exit Left

Cover: Ironina - Nilfruits

I don't know the album theme yet, but this is the tentative sprite and thumbnail design. The T2 sprite was kind of an "innocent" one, since at the beginning she still has faith in her role in the prison, excited to work with everyone there. (Plus, I joined the fandom a little after t2 started so that's peak excitement time lol). The T3 sprite has much more of a "guitly" feel to it because, at the end of T2 and after this hiatus, she'd harbor a lot more guilt about her position and fear about the experiment's conclusion. As a fun little detail, her pencil has been replaced with a more permanent utensil as final verdicts are locked in.

Now listen. My artist brain was constantly fighting my science brain when doing sprite designs -- I know gloves like that and nothing else isn't proper PPE. I know none of those are safety shoes (god forbid wearing just socks??? to the lab???). There should be no jewellery at all. The whole point of a lab coat is that you don't roll up the sleeves and expose your bare skin. However. It's anime character design. There can be compromise.

Referencing Rose's personal life as a performance and comparing Milgram's trials to one, I wanted the mv to play on "showstopper" as both a great show and a literal attempt to stop the project before it reaches its finale. There would be creepy comparisons in the mv between operating stage equipment and prison executions: curtain/set ropes and nooses, heavy duty lightswitches and electric chairs, etc.

Misc.

And lightening things up again -- birthday art and minigrams :3

Birth flower: Camellias. Pink camellias symbolize love but also longing. The fact that they bloom in winter, and have a quick death (the entire flower wilts at once, instead of individual petals falling off), have inspired different meanings in different cultures -- overcoming hard times, facing death in battle, inseparable lovers, and so on

Three minigrams featuring my own annoyance that her design is a bit close to Shidou's coat/gloves look, a mandatory short joke, and a pun that works so perfectly for my Put-In-Situations guy

The Shrike [Swordtember week 1]

"A bird species native to earth, now augmented through divine means into a parasitic form ideal for offense and only conscious when wielded. It's capillaries have now taken on an iron like hardness, extending outside of its flesh to form a hilt of sorts. When firmly grasped it extends barbed wire like tentacles that wrap around the forearm or any other readily available limb, piercing the host's flesh to siphon off blood and nutrients to stay alive. It's only other way of sustaining its distorted form is through it's sharp, branch like appendage, which when exposed to flesh, will absorb blood and circulate it trough its body much like a plant stem. requiring a near constant source of blood to stay awake and at maximum strength, it is generally deemed to dangerous for use by mortal beings and an immediate sign of danger if encountered even in a dormant state with no wielder nearby."

tried challenging myself by keeping all work on this prompted traditional (for the most part). am incredibly rusty but i had alot of fun messing with charcoal and gouache. felt nice not being on my pc for hours working on stuff to lmao. might expand on this concept some more in the future. shits neattttt

[nowakityphoon]

El paraíso de una criatura que se alimenta de los demás es exactamente estar en la mira de absolutamente todo el tumulto. Nunca tuvo que hacer mucho para cautivar a los demás, si bien era una característica innata de su especie, era un compuesto que aceptaba complacida, repetidamente, sin si quiera usar sus habilidades.

Siempre elegante, maquillada, y con los mejores conjuntos, era el spotlight de tanto hombres como mujeres. Transitaba por las calles de la academia con dirección a la puerta principal, siempre presente y con el girasol de sus ojos, característicos de su encanto. Hasta que, una vez más, la pelinegra se atrevió a ignorarla.

Con un estrecho nudo en la garganta, pero sin siquiera una sutil muestra del mismo, dispuso su anatomía camino hacia la otra, turnando sus pasos uno en frente a otro, meneando sus colas con el viento y disponiendo la diestra encargada de salvaguardar su cartera, al tiempo de exhibir su barniz de uñas flor de sakura. -- Felicidades! Estás invitada a tomar el té con mi círculo cercano, será hoy al segundo receso, te espero en mi mesa de cafetería. Estas invitaciones no son para todos, por favor no la desperdicies. -- Emitió antes de desaparecer con la brisa que acariciaba la academia.

[💜] "Oh, yeah—! I got the court order and everything already."

The MASSIVE stack of documents jam-packed full of legal jargon floated on over in a neat pile. The letterhead had SUPER printed in bright red typography (there was also a notable food stain on one of the pages, which could be argued was from the man of the hour himself).

Ophelia sighed ever so dreamily, her hand pressed against her cheek as she fanned herself with one of the stray papers.

"Ophelia Pathan-Walker," she muttered with a smirk. "Oh, he'd HATE that."

A Hunt - pt.7

Relief had never hit her lungs harder than it did when she saw all three of them once again, clinging to Tahariel the moment he was close enough. Though, it didn't take long for her to notice the inky stains of the curse moving along his wings, or just how...angry he was as he stared in the direction she had left the two knights. How angry Yori had gotten, as well...But there was little time for Allisae to say or do much in response before her son was ushering her away at Tahariel's command, reluctant to let go of his arm.

She threw both he and Yori one last glance, before finally moving along with Wrenn to reunite with Lily, until Wrenn freezes not even ten paces later.

"Wait...!"

He catches another scent in the air, moving rapidly. Far too fast for him to react---his back falling against the grass, his hand empty of his mother's grasp, in the blink of an eye.

"So you're the little thing that's been causing so much trouble---"

"....."

The both of them pause, upon meeting each other's gaze. Kallen pulls his hand back, suddenly finding himself lost in a familiar scene. A feeling---a flash of memory---flickering in his mind, distracted enough that he didn't notice the attack coming in from his side.

{i love how i did nothing i said i was going to do today lmao.

anyway i'm thinking about schneider and how much she trusts vertin even after only knowing her for a couple of days. how quickly she fell in love with the timekeeper.

i am not giving up hope that she will be playable, especially since she was playable during the beta. AND since the game is all about going backwards in time.... THERE'S A CHANCE. there's a hope. i am grasping on to so much delulu and copium rn don't talk to me (unless it's about this game alright) sobs}
