late mukuyuki propaganda but hear me out!

since a3 is an acting themed game, of course you have roles within the characters too. trust me, whatever you like, there’s probably something for you within the plays they’ve done.

muku and yuki have had some amazing roles over the years and i am gonna ramble about them! not chronologically because my brain just. cannot.

the first i’m going to talk about is florence and rose, from the floral prince, muku’s lead play.

florence, muku’s character, is a narcissistic, proud prince with a heart of gold, able to help others at any moment due to his naivety but also his belief that he puts into others. his whole adventure is about trying to save the princess, but not purely because he wants to marry her — it is mainly to save her.

florence is different from mukus usual character. whilst muku is still sweet and believes in others, his self confidence is starkly different. muku has a habit of going into self-deprecating rants. he’s a good kid, but fails to see the good in himself.

the event story focuses around muku and him pushing himself to be what he’s wanted to be this whole time — a prince. it’s the reason why he joined the theatre in the first place, and this sheds a lot of light onto his character. muku sustains an injury and proceeds to keep it a secret from everyone else, giving him no time to rest. the last time he was injured, he was in the track team and had to quit, finding theatre shortly after. therefore, he keeps it secret, not only not to worry others, but also to avoid those older memories.

the floral prince event is a great one, in terms of both character development and the play itself. muku shows a lot of care towards the other members and his dream of being a prince and the final result is an entertaining and funny play with a host of great characters.

rose is originally introduced into the story as a young boy that florence finds whilst on his adventure to cure the princess’ curse. rose is shown getting increasingly distressed by florence’s kind attitude, though they start to get along together and have a nice bit of chemistry. eventually, rose ends up storming off and florence finds something finally to cure the princess. instead of wishing for that however, he goes to wish that he could make up with rose but is stopped before it can come true. the other comes out from a hiding place and scolds the prince for his actions, but he’s more happy that they get to be friends again. in the end, when at the castle, it is revealed rose was the princess who was cursed and they quickly return her back to her usual form. rose states how she’ll simply have to marry florence, because he’ll need a smart wife like herself.

yuki throughout the event story doesn’t have too much to say, since the play focuses more on muku and his cousin, but his support for muku never wavers. muku and yuki, whether platonic or romantic, are soulmates in their own right. they work on their own as their own characters, but together they have a whole new air of comfort and support. so, when muku is struggling, yuki is there to help, even with the smallest details.

florence and roses relationship is important — it is heavily implied florence started falling for rose even before finding out she was the princess. their dynamic is playful, yet fun. opposites attract in a way. rose is resourceful, a good hunter and intelligent, whilst florence is more kind, thoughtful and naive. overall, they have a wonderful balance between them, and i’m excited to see how they do it in the stage later this year.

next is henry and francois from captain sky pirates, muku’s colead play.

muku’s character, henry, is the right hand man of the pirates ship, and at first, the only one with a brain cell aboard /lh. he’s more just along for the ride with the rest of the crew, but tends to keep his own. at least, until he’s recognised as bloody henry, one of the most ruthless pirates on the seas. henry is caring of his crew, giving up his life as an infamous pirate to instead join a small crew after attempting to rob them and find there’s nothing there to rob (i swear to you they are so cringefail and i love them for it).

francois comes onto the ship in disguise, hiding the fact that she is indeed the infamous blackbeard. she ends up putting sleeping medication into the food and going to steal from them, only to be stopped by henry. it’s a nice moment between the two, of francois realising there’s someone on the ship who’s actually intelligent and can match her own scheming and henry having the confidence that shows he’s kind of known all along. he speaks about what his crew means to him and that convinces francois to join their crew.

in the stage, this plays out very differently. they help francois hide from the navy and as she tries to sneak off, henry grabs her wrist. full of confidence, he pulls out a black moustache he managed to pull from her and teases her by raising it higher than she can reach. in the stage, they have more of a supposedly playful arrangement in this moment, compared to the game in which henry shows how much his crew means to him. henry and francois are similar people, as opposed to florence and rose. they can rely on each other to understand what it’s like to be alone on the open seas and support the rest of their crew.

uh i am,, running out of steam but trust me to ramble about these guys some day. the character designs are great but these are just two of my favourite dynamics!!
