I've been a bit stalled on my next chapter of Songs of Innocence, my mega-x-over fic starring Chibi-Usa. Perhaps the most annoying point is this:
In the next chapter I introduce The Eschatones (also known as Rei and the Eschatones), a four-piece rock band made up of characters from various anime series.
I have three of them, including:
Ayanami Rei, lead singer and guitar. Originally from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Kisaragi Quon, bass guitar. Originally from Rah Xephon.
Himemiya Anthy, drums. Originally from Shoujo Kakumei Utena.
I chose those three for many reasons, having to do with their roles in their respective series and also for their apparent ages in the time period I set the
Mega-Tokyo section of this story. The story for now is set in 2032. Quon, as seen at the end of the TV series, is reincarnated as a baby. I am
assuming/creating a similar scenario for Rei. Anthy, following on Chris Davies, simply always looks that young throughout time.
Rei, Quon and Anthy are all initiators/harbingers of the Apocalypse (however you want to define that), having messiah and anti-messiah qualities to them.
Hence the name The Eschatones, from eschaton or the end of the world.
So I am looking for characters that would be "reasonably" able to join a teenage girl band set in the 2030s who have the sort of qualities that are
common with Rei, Quon and Anthy. I really would prefer characters that could actually be teenagers in the 2030 and not, like Anthy, just look like it. But
I'll take what I can get.
Demonstrated musical talent not a necessity.
A caveat: no Haruhi, for many reasons.
Some possibilities I've thought of and tentatively abadoned are:
Iwakura Lain, from Serial Experiments Lain. Set too early, but otherwise a good fit.
Mima Tokiko or "Key" from Key the Metal Idol. Again, set too early. Not apocalyptic enough. But will probaby show up somewhere as either a
character or passing reference.
Skuld from Ah! My Goddess. Once again, set too early. Also doesn't connotate apocalypse.
Lynn Minmei from Superdimensional Fortress Macross. Still set too early, not exactly a spiritual harbinger of the apocalypse.
Mylene Jenius from Macross 7. Set too late, not a harbinger of the apocalypse. Does have musical talents. Her older sisters may show up.
Maetel from Galaxy Express 999. Set too late, though she is a time traveller or at least that's implied. But too old, man, too old.
Kei from Akira. I have another role in mind for her but maybe . . .
Any help appreciated, please! Thank you.
