, posted Mon 7 Oct 18:01
Yo. Took the liberty of translating the profiles via Babelfish (I have another translation program, but it's iffy at best). Here's what I was able to find out about the gang:
Yuz - Your basic fun-lovin' Osaka homeboy. Fanatical about almost the entire Bemani department as well as racing and shooting games (of which Konami has produced many, of course). Also a big baseball fan.
Celica - One of those "found DDR way too easy and converted" cases. Apparently studying to be either an actress or dancer. One of the IIDX poster girls. Yuz's boyfriend.
Duel - Hard rocking Brit; moved to Japan for the big IIDX scene. Only likes the kind of tea with milk in it (no kidding).
Siren - Typical aspiring Hollywood star. Using the DJ gig to tide him over until that big break.
Shi-low - Your standard drop dead gorgeous bishonen, except that he smiles all the time. Japanese/American hybrid. Longtime IIDX veteran and is embroiled in an number of ferocious rivalries.
Nix - Also Japanese/American. Failed air force pilot who discovered a talent for music and has been a DJ ever since. Favorite game besides IIDX is Police 911.
Q-Jack - Has some kind of contract with a fine arts university...the movie divison, I believe...and has to wear that heavy "cyberpunk" costume wherever he goes.
Erika - Aspiring computer programmer or composer, or something...well, it invovles computer technology, at any rate. IIDX's other poster girl, and, I believe, the one with the most different costumes in the series. Shi-low's girlfriend.
Nyah - Hong Kong native and IIDX hotshot rookie whose 7-key prowess was quickly noted. I'm guessing that she's highly athletic as well (on account of her never wearing anything on top of that sports bra, for starters).
Shiki - Got started on IIDX at home, got hooked. Also one of the six Para Para Paradise players left in Japan.
K-Na - IIDX fanatic; wishes to actually design the next game someday.
Zilch - Not sure...apparently, he got into an altercation with Nyah during a game and is now hopelessly dedicated to mastering the game.
Ereki - His skin and hair color are the result of an unfortunate childhood incident...sibling rivalry, favoritism, what have you. Took up IIDX in hopes of settling the score.
Shem - Works in a fashion store, which is obviously where he got his, er, unusual accessories. Somewhat overprotective brother of Lilith.
BTW, thanks, Chupiler, for the pronounciations...I thought it was "Nee-ah" for the longest time.
From what I can tell, they're not based on real people. Not sure what their real purpose is, other than adding a little color to the game (some of them, like Shi-low's Takane Hibiki number in Real, are kinda cool).
I'm getting 3rd Style just as soon as that damn modchip actually gets to a store I go to. I'll try to find out more then.
