[ It's been six months since the SPECTRA incident, and things are looking up at Vandelay -- that is, until parts of campus suddenly shut down. The band goes to investigate, but what they discover may jeopardize the future of the company. ]

[sadisthetic]

i get into hi fi rush and then proceed to make the most TOXIC ASS hfr oc. this is seltzer (he/they). he is Hashtag Problematic.

hes a precanon character who i created for the main purpose of exploring chais backstory which is FREE REAL ESTATE and subject chai to wretched things. making up a reason why chai is such a lonely ass independent guy at the start of the game AND SELF INDULGING AT THE SAME TIME (i love emotional whump). seltzer is red flag ass emotionally manipulative motherfucker. lmao

he is uhh. chais ex-"friend" that chai met at a venue during a local band performance in college. in quotes bc its a kinda complicated one sided deal. hes in a band called acid scale thats just a group of friends fucking around with instruments. their skills are mediocre and their music is DOGSHIT

somehow chai ends up hanging out with them. it doesnt end well

more sketches of the bastard below

#they suck soooooooooooooooo much i love seltzer but tbh if i ever get a callout post written for me hes 100% goin on there as evidence #bc of the shit i wrote for his and chais story #which did half for the purpose of making him the worst person alive and the other half is bc im a sadist. and also im lusting over chai #anyways hes nonbinary but like he uses he like 90% of the time #tbh im worried bout sharing that story and being attacked for it but its like. man. yolo. ppl get paid to write worse for television #im just a dude on the internet. #either way ill do it tomorrow #hi fi rush oc #my art #my ocs #hi fi rush

i was scribbling on my sketchbook and somehow ended up doodling my first hi fi rush oc :)

Text reads as:

Scrapped unit that proved to be too clumsy in the air. Bumps into things a lot. Most of its energy cell is routed to systems that keep its bulky frame aloft, so by all accounts, it's quite stupid. (like a junebug)

⚠️ WARNING!! ⚠️ artists only look as clean as the left if they have no enrichment and become very stressed!!! Make sure you give your museum artist lots of oil paints and canvases to counteract this :)

#hi fi rush oc #hfr oc #hi fi rush #tang #doodles #hi-fi rush #directly inspired by how fucking covered with paint my clothes would end up after an oil painting session #to the point that i had a jacket dedicated for painting bc it was already covered #i should paint something on the back of it...

New hyper-fixation, new OC, lol. This one is for Hi-Fi Rush! Their name is Honey, the left render is them while working for Vandelay, and the right is after they join Chai and the team! They're sweet, very trusting, and love living life to the fullest! But they also have a hard time focusing on reality and can come off as more than a little invasive because they watch people. Constantly. Even when they really shouldn't. They have a passion for all kinds of performing arts, but their main talents lie in dance (particularly ballet) and writing music!

Their face (including eyes and voice) are Vandelay Technologies prosthetics, and their robotic attachments can encase them and allow them to duplicate the appearance of anyone they've seen. Combined with a little bit of AI technology, they can even copy mannerisms and become very hard to discern from the original.

Backstory/infodump under cut! There will be spoilers! And it'll probably be long, lol.

So! Honey used to be really close with Kale before he took over the company. They gladly called him their best friend and were a little blind to some of his faults, chalking it up to him simply being an 'ends justify the means' kind of guy.

Kale, however, saw a little more in the relationship than was actually there, and harbored a little bit of an obsessive infatuation for them. After developing SPECTRA, he approached them with his plan to take over Vandelay Technologies and propositioned them with not only a lucrative position working for him, but the role of his beloved. He fully expected them to hop on board without question.

Honey did not. They asked if he was seriously going to mind-control his own mother, why he had to do it this way, what was even the point of vying for this so hard? Also?? They didn't think of him like that! And as his friend, they had to tell him that not only was this idea ridiculous, but absolutely awful!

Essentially, it turned into a huge blow-up. Things ended on horrible terms and, shortly afterward, Honey got into a near-fatal "accident". Kale, however, was coincidentally nearby, and managed to save them. And he even was so kind as to gift them state-of-the-art technology to replace all that they'd lost.

Tech that just so happened to have the yet untested SPECTRA.

Now fully under Kale's control, he "helped them realize" that they did, in fact, return his feelings, and were more than happy to take the job offer on top of it.

So he continued with his plan, stealing the role of CEO and placing them as the head of the Surveillance Department, which included their own SPECTRA pass-key. It was a mostly fluff job that didn't require them to leave his side too much. But when they did, it would be to check in on the other departments, usually by disguising as another Boss, or a lowly worker if they needed to be particularly inconspicuous. They were Kale's eyes and ears, and whatever they found, they could record through their prosthetic eyes and send directly back to him.

During this time, Honey's true personality was fully suppressed. They were simply subservient, quiet, and...

Always.

Watching.

The other Bosses were aware of them and their ability to spy when needed, but didn't put too much stock in them otherwise. They never spoke unless addressed by Kale, and only reached out themself through email. By the nature of their job, they had the most correspondence with Korsica and the Security Department.

After Rekka was defeated and Chai blasted Peppermint's involvement to Kale, he was able to deduce that the next target would be the AI Labs. After having Honey replicate Rekka long enough for her to "peacefully retire" and keep the news off the company's back, Kale sent them down to R&D to keep an eye on the situation. There, they disguised themself as one of Zanzo's robot assistants and watched the entire shitshow of experiments he ran on Chai.

By the time Chai came back with Macaron, Honey had sent their footage to Kale, who immediately set out with Korsica, sparking that whole chase. When Chai was captured, Kale opted to have Honey stay with Korsica for the interrogation, as a protective means for whatever information she could get out of him.

Well, that didn't work out. Korsica left and, not knowing what else to do, Honey simply observed Chai as he escaped. He noted how weird they seemed, especially when they didn't try to stop him, but with more important things to take care of, it didn't occupy his mind too much.

Once Korsica was recruited, though, she brought it to the group's attention that there were actually seven pass-keys, and informed them about Honey's role-- or what little she knew of it. And in the time they rested up and planned to deal with Mimosa, the group got to see the ways Honey replicated the other Bosses to help maintain the sense of normalcy for the company, pretending to be all three of the defeated Bosses on video and through email.

Mimosa was defeated with Honey quietly watching all the while. When Kale shut down the campus and retreats into the tower, he gave them one task: post up where the defect would try and break in, and see if they could beat him with his own skillset. If not, he'd managed to gather enough data on the temporal displacement Peppermint developed for them to use to retreat.

So Honey waited in Production, and challenged Chai along his route to the cannon. Needing as much information as they could get, they would pull him in for "dances", assessing how he moved and learned the rhythm of the beat that he moved to. Chai, meanwhile, was both flustered and weirded out by this whole "horror-movie-but-the-monster-is-cute" type situation. After each dance, they would take on the form of one of his friends and fight, using the temporal displacement to retreat whenever necessary.

The final fight, Chai had to contend with Honey perfectly replicating his own moves, his own appearance, and his own feel of the music. They seemed to understand the beat on the same wavelength he did, making the fight difficult for him. But also, it became apparent that not only were they under the control of SPECTRA, but that this strange dance-off almost seemed to pull them out of it part of the way. The physical distance from Kale also helped and, by the end of it, he was able to somewhat break through to them.

Ultimately, he gave up that run for the cannon to take them back to the hideout and have Peppermint try and disconnect them from SPECTRA until it could be destroyed. She did so, especially after realizing that she knew Honey from their friendship with Kale-- and had presumed them dead after their accident.

Once free from SPECTRA, Honey was able to fully be themself again, though with some of their trained quirks still remaining. They learned that they'd been practically catatonic for five years and about all of the things Kale had done in that time. Somewhat disillusioned by everything, they offered to help any way that they could, becoming a staunch ally of the group. And, as an act of kindness, everyone helped them get a new outfit that wasn't chosen for them by Kale!

When Chai calls on their help, they replicate him and copy his every move, essentially doubling his damage output, lol. This makes them have the longest reload time, though, and they can't replicate his special attacks.

After Kale is defeated, Honey learns to grapple with all that had happened to them-- including still having flashbacks to how they perceived those five years under Kale-- and finds a home among this rag-tag group. And perhaps even discovers true, healthy love in the form of a certain wannabe rockstar... ;)

whoaaaaaa omg they added a new hi fi rush character haha when did that get there (real) (not clickbait)

uhhh hi i finished hfr the other day and absolutely freakin loved it. chai stole my heart the minute he was introduced i couldn't NOT do some oc x canon shenanigans :] this is mocha she works for vandelay HR and pretends she doesnt hate it but shes probably exploding the nearest person with her mind always. i dont have much else for her (for now) but she comes in post-canon when chai's already working as the project armstrong ambassador

(close ups under the cut!)

#oc x canon #oc #this was a nice break from doing big pieces back to back. i feel like a sane person again (lie) #also i named her mocha for the sole purpose of calling their ship name latte. im a genius /JOKE #i might write some lore for her i might not. we'll see #this is so self indulgent LMAO #hi fi rush oc #skip's art

Meet the (New) Department Heads

The Head of Production

“Uh, hey! It’s nice to meet you all,” Chai says with a wave.

“It’s nice to meet you, too, Ambassador Chai!” GNGR exclaims. “I am GNGR, and this is Nori!”

Nori offers a weak smile. “Hello,” xe waves.

bonnie mae (slight?) redesign!!

i tried to make them look like they're actually from the game, and i also added some yellow some more pop to the color scheme (and a bit of outfit changes that i think would make sense for them)

also i have them more tiger stripes bc it's cool and i think it fits :3 i also tried to add some motifs associated with digital pop stars (such as miku), as well as a matching tie with Mimosa due to their upbringing with her

i tried to draw them in the HFR art style, but i don't know if i got it??

let me know what y'all think!! :3

So this is something very exciting. I made lavender talk sprites! Essentially I made a whole bunch of expression assets in procreate (which I kept close as possible to the art style of the game) which I might use when I wanna do some interactions with canon characters. Here is some expression examples that she could use
