Still doing the Space Channel 5 AU. Here’s Space Channel 7 Part 2!

It comes with more bios!

Oh yeah, I should probably link to Part 1.

Edit: Here’s a link for Kinda Funky News Flash.

E-Clipse - 22. Struggling newbie reporter at Space Channel 7. Him saving the universe was seen as a lucky break + the news cycle moves so fast that it became irrelevant quickly. Still, he reports with a wink, a smile, and smooth moves.

Big Ben - E-Clipse’s former supervisor and current CEO of Space Channel 7. Still tries to help him out when he can. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t fit him in.

Mr. KK - 34. E-Clipse’s current supervisor, selected by Big Ben himself. A supportive though cautious man, he retains a professional demeanor in all situations, which he may’ve acquired during his time as technical difficulty staff. 

Lunar - 22. Worked on a spaceship E-Clipse rescued during the previous invasion and has been a fan ever since. Most of the ship crew got laid off afterwards, which led him to apply for a job at Space Channel 7. Due to budget cuts, E-Clipse’s automated recording set up got replaced with a manual one, with Lunar as a one-man show. Despite it all, E-Clipse is glad to have someone along for the ride. What Lunar lacks in rhythm, he makes up for in sheer heart. Somehow he remains starstruck even when E-Clipse puts on his clothes inside-out.

Maiomai - 19. Prodigy pianist with a plot to make the universe dance to her music and hers alone. Has an army of robots do her bidding. They’re also programmed to praise her every action.

Hirokage - Maiomai’s field operative, meaning he does all the dirty work for her. Sleek and mysterious, he’s a fearsome foe with fiercer moves. Can a robot really have that much style?

Valala and Leileoi - Mysterious beings with some kind of influence on Maiomai, and not for the better.

The Kosmics - 31, 27, 25. Trio of superstar siblings who once saved the universe with singing, music, and dance moxie. Maiomai is kidnapping them to eliminate the competition. Unfortunately for her, rarely are they all in the same place. (I wasn’t able to fit all of them in either)

L-Capitan - 23. He got laid off from his spaceship piloting job and now works as a traffic officer. VERY passionate about traffic laws. He doesn’t understand why he can’t just arrest people when they break the law, but he takes his drum battles seriously.

Jaywalker 1 - 30. Real name Killa. Prisoner and backup drummer for L-Capitan. Despite the name, he’s not a killer, but a thief. His last heist came to an unexpected end when he tried to escape through traffic. He seems to have plans to make a run for it. 

Jaywalker 2 - 19. Real name Jell-O. Prisoner and backup drummer for L-Capitan. An unfortunate soul who thought he could cross an empty part of the street with no crosswalk. Not on L-Capitan’s watch!

Rox - Not much new to say about her other than that she has a guitar. She also has a new camerawoman, not because Space Channel 22 had budget cuts, but because she was jealous that E-Clipse had a little camera buddy. Like before, she’s willing to put aside competition to defeat a greater foe. 

Hero - 23. Went on a special solo mission a while ago. According to the other Space Sentai, he hasn’t been heard from since.

(cw: verbal abuse / emotional abuse)

Mai has at least 99 problems, and most of them stem from these two. This is Valerie and Lei Nangong. Mai is their social experiment/revenge plot. She also happens to be their daughter. As you can see, there was a brief period in Mai's life where they functioned like a normal family, but this wasn't because her parents weren't planning on ruining her life at the time, they just didn't act on it yet. Still, they weren't always the worst people. Not that it really matters to Mai now... I dunno if Bing translate got the Cantonese right, but Lei is supposed to be saying "Why won't you obey?" Valerie is saying "It's your fault."
