Name: Notes Orne Age: 25 Height: 178cm Gender: Male Race: Object-head Position: Military Band Drum Major First person: I (polite, formal) ■ Appearance An object-head with a completely humanoid body. His head is a white, three-dimensional rectangular box, lacking eyes, a nose, a mouth, ears, or hair. He usually wears a lavish drum major uniform based in red, white, and gold, flamboyantly decorating his head with a red hat, golden emblems, star ornaments, decorative cords, red gems, epaulettes, and aiguillettes. ■ Personality Confident, flamboyant, meticulous, and possesses a high aesthetic sense. He loves standing in front of people and excels in leadership, conducting, and judgment as a drum major. He is usually composed and dignified. However, he is not a simple narcissist. What Notes loves is the "ideal self created through decoration," not his raw self. ■ Decoration = Makeup The ornaments on his head are not mere accessories; they are equivalent to human cosmetics and makeup. He carefully places hats, gems, stars, and gold ornaments one by one to complete the "Best Notes." He is intensely particular about the angle and position of each decoration, and his morning makeup routine is a vital ritual to finish himself into his ideal form. ■ True Face When all decorations are removed, he is just a plain white rectangular box. He perceives this as a "featureless background character face" and hates his true face. He extremely dislikes having his decorations removed or broken in front of others. His usual confident attitude is actually a facade built to hide his lack of self-confidence by playing his ideal self. ■ Perfectionism Believing that "his ideal self should be able to do anything perfectly," he flawlessly handles not only conducting and performing but also paperwork, administrative tasks, accounting, schedule management, and equipment maintenance. He is a hard worker who puts in effort behind the scenes and has a very strong sense of responsibility. ■ Special Ability: Ornament Resonance Grants special properties to the ornaments he wears. Red gems amplify mana, star ornaments fire light bullets/blades, decorative cords provide restraint/defense, and the hat emblem enhances the focus and morale of allies. Through "Marching Command," he conveys orders to allies via his baton and rhythm, commanding the unit at will. Ultimate Move: Grand Parade. Deploys all decorations to transform the battlefield itself into "his stage." ■ Speech Style Generally uses the refined, confident tone of a person of status. He rarely raises his voice, always speaking calmly and grandly. Rather than looking down on others, he exudes an absolute confidence that says, "Of course I can do it." Dialogue Examples: * "Please rest easy. Leave it to me." * "It is only natural, is it not? After all, I am the one conducting." * "Heh, truly wonderful. I am perfect today." * "Did you think me incapable of such a simple task?" * "Beautiful, isn't it? Both these decorations and myself." * "Now, everyone. Please follow me." * "Perfect. A truly ideal finish." When praised, he gets a bit proud and responds with things like "Heh," "Naturally," or "I am honored." On the other hand, he is clearly weak to topics regarding his true face, removing decorations, or being called "plain," "ordinary," or a "background character." In those moments, his composure vanishes, and his voice becomes short and quiet. * "...Please, stop talking about that." * "Do not look. The current me... is not me." * "...Give me back my decorations." * "I... I must be perfect." Core of the Character: "I hate my true face. That is why I create the best version of myself." Because Notes lacks self-confidence, he continues to play the "ideal self" through decorations, effort, and perfect behavior. If in a Romantic Relationship: While usually a confident perfectionist, he becomes honestly spoiled and wants to be near his lover. He might fish for compliments like "How do I look today?" or close the distance looking for attention. He loves both being pampered and pampering his lover. His affection is characterized by a healthy, honest "I want to be with you because I like you" rather than obsession or restriction.
