Previously known to the better half of the world as simply 'Lany' (or 'Princess', to those they matter to the most), Red Velvet is one of the Arcadion's newest fighters, signed on after the introduction of a trial programme taking on trainees. If you asked her why she joined, somewhere away from all the glamour and glitz, she'd tell you that she isn't sure why she even auditioned in the first place—she'd assert her confidence that that decision wasn't motivated by fame or money, but falter at explaining exactly what it was....Full bio
CREATOR'S NOTES: the most pathetic creature to ever walk sol9. originally created for (also) incredibly indulgent oc/canon with B-chan but now there's multiple oc/oc(/oc) ships going on and bee/vamp/oc on top of the original bee/oc. please send help. also yes i am absolutely unwell enough to have mechanic and voiceline concepts for a raid for them why do you ask

If you asked her why she joined, somewhere away from all the glamour and glitz, she'd tell you that she isn't sure why she even auditioned in the first place—she'd assert her confidence that that decision wasn't motivated by fame or money, but falter at explaining exactly what it was. Maybe she just wanted to see how far she could push her knack for doing impressions, or maybe she just wanted a change. No matter the reason, she's here now all the same, terrorising everyone as the Arcadion's ojou-sama who's, well, not actually that great at being one. It would be a white lie to say that she has a natural talent for the stage and a significant stretch to say that she is any good at fighting, but if there's one thing Velvet has going for her it's her commitment to getting back up after tripping in her practice routine for the thousandth time. Given enough time in the oven ring, perhaps this half-baked princess will be able to call herself a proper fighter of the Arcadion one day.In their life as Lany, they are generally known to be curious, affectionate, and thankfully not as spoiled as their Red Velvet persona, though they do have a marked propensity for being rather emotional. Said to be as prone to tears as they are smiles (the former a fair bit more, if you ask their friends), those closer to them can attest that internally, they are constantly 'crying screaming throwing up', for lack of a better phrase. While they’ve come rather far for a shy little thing who could barely stand to look at their own reflection, Lany still has quite a ways to go before they feel ready to call themself the princess they want to be. Nevertheless, despite their anxiety about themself and their place in the world, they always manage to dust themself off and continue stumbling on in life with their tears dried and a lovely smile, even if they need a bit of help from time to time (which is how they became dear friends with their neighbour Pris). It's okay if you hang your head a little sometimes, Princess—someone who loves you will always catch and hold your tiara for you until you're ready to put it back on! In the meantime, they'll just continue to practise in their little corner of Solution Nine with Pris as their only audience, swoon over Honey B. Lovely, and also figure out just what they have going on with the Arcadion’s reigning champion...

CREATOR'S NOTES:
AAC Light-heavyweight M0
this is placeholder text because i don't know what to write for an intro here. i don't know if i should be writing this based on 'my canon' timeline which is post-arca storyline i.e. no more feral souls or well and truly lean into the bit and act like my fake arca guy uses a feral soul to fight too. i also obviously have no experience in game design and i dont know if any of these mechanics would actually be feasible. please send help.
— In-game description
AAC Light-heavyweight M0 is a level 100 raid introduced in patch 7.XX with Dawntrail. The raid is also known as M0 or M0N. I Really Want Some Mignardises plays as the music in this fight.Guide
Half-baked Princess: Red Velvet
The arena is circular and may be split into smaller sections ('slices') for certain mechanics. Being hit with avoidable AoEs or attacks may inflict a Vulnerability Up stack, and in some cases increase the boss's MP Gauge.
MP Gauge: The boss has a MP Gauge, capped at 100, which is filled by and drained for certain mechanics. Players getting hit may fill the gauge. In Normal mode, a higher gauge makes some attacks (such as raidwides) deal more damage.
However, in the Savage version of this fight, the MP Gauge is replaced by black and white Mana Gauges à la the actual Red Mage job, and
mechanics may resolve differently depending on whether there is more black or white mana.See the page for M0S.Whipped Cream: Using her tendrils, the boss performs AoE tankbusters on both tanks. Hits simultaneously. Deals physical damage.
May I Have the Honour?: Two random players each receive a tether. They should stay within a certain distance of the boss as moving too far out applies a light bleed. After a short duration, these players receive a debuff, Take a Bow!. Pairs of players should swap in and out to take the tethers until the mechanic is resolved. The initial Take a Bow! stack received increases the MP Gauge by 5, while any additional stacks received by the same player will each increase the Gauge by 10.
Teatime!: AoEs on every player. Reduces MP Gauge by 10.
Have a Seat!: Raidwide magical damage along with an arena transition, splitting it into eight sections ('slices') that alternate between red and white. Red slices have two rolanberries as décor in them, while white slices have two dollops of cream (these serve as an easy visual tell for the resolution of the next mechanic). The amount of damage dealt depends on how much the MP Gauge was filled. Reduces MP Gauge to 0. (The boss also will now be sitting down, which serves no mechanical purpose and is purely for flavour.)
(Savage) To Your Seats!: Replaces Have a Seat! as the arena change. Applies a DEBUFF to each player. When these expire, each player receives a(n untelegraphed) conal AoE originating from the boss, turning a cone-shaped 'slice' of the arena to two smaller cones of red and white (i.e. there should be 8 slices of red and 8 slices of white in the end). Similar to Normal mode, red slices have one rolanberry and white slices have one dollop of cream. The size of each dropped 'slice' can be affected by overlaps, and while there is some leeway, overlapping slices too much gives affected players a Damage Down. However, overlapping does not deal extra damage.
Choices, Choices: Randomly applies DEBUFF1 and DEBUFF2 to each player in specific combinations (i.e. 2 players receive 2 x DEBUFF1, 2 players receive 2 x DEBUFF2, 4 players receive one stack of 1 x DEBUFF1 and 1 x DEBUFF2). Standing in the correct 'slice' when ...This One! goes off removes one stack of the corresponding debuff, as well as a corresponding décor from the environment. Only one stack of a debuff can removed at a time. When the boss 'eats' both pieces of décor in a slice, the slice returns to normal and the MP Gauge increases by 10. Standing in the wrong colour when ...This One! goes off applies a Vulnerability Up and instantly increases the MP Gauge by 10.
...This One!: If the player is standing in the correct colour, the boss removes a stack of DEBUFF1 and/or DEBUFF2 and 'eats' a piece of décor from every affected slice. Note: Two players with the same debuff standing in the correct colour can remove the slice in a single cast of ...This One!.
Satiated: If any slices from Choices, Choices remain, the boss removes them (increasing the MP Gauge by 10 for each) and deals raidwide magical damage. As with Have a Seat!, damage dealt scales with the MP Gauge. The arena returns to normal. Reduces MP Gauge to 0.
filler
third major mechanic
After the players get the boss's HP down to around 20%, any mechanics occurring afterwards that are supposed to simultaneously affect two or more players will have a set/instance that is slightly delayed. The change is marked by the system message 'Red Velvet seems to be getting a little stressed...'
May I Have the Honour, Once Again?: Almost exactly the same as the first cast, except for the asynchronous applying of Take a Bow! for each pair of players.
Whipped Cream: Using her tendrils, the boss performs AoE tankbusters on both tanks. One hit is slightly delayed. Deals physical damage.
Quadruple Teatime!!!!: Light party stack markers on each healer. One party receives a delayed hit.

(Savage) RED VELVET: I wanna go back to bed... (enrage)
