**MU-kun** is a Musician with an eccentric appearance and flashy hair. With his sense for music and fashion, and unconventional and exorbitant conduct that make up his “space communication” character setting, he steals the hearts of young as the most popular musician.

## History

*"Also... the Hidden? Couldn't that be something even you don't want to know?"***The following content contains spoilers.** Please proceed at your own risk.
In elementary school, MU-kun, captivated by the vastness of outer space, aspired to become an astronaut. Those around him supported his dream, bolstering his confidence.

In middle school, MU-kun strove to be an artist, but upon joining the Art Club, found that the images in his brain never came out right on canvas. Picking up a brush became a stressful experience each time.

In high school, he sought to play in a band, but decided not to join the Music Club. Despite composing original songs on his guitar to express himself, he never publicly performed during his school years.

By the time MU-kun was admitted to an average university, *μ* was at the peak of her popularity. He devoted himself to virtuadoll composition, having at last found the perfect medium he had been waiting for.

However, Thorn's music, then at the top of the charts, brought him back to earth. The sheer disparity in depth and quality between her songs and his ultimately caused him to decide against posting his work.

After graduating from college, MU-kun landed a job as a systems engineer. While far from his ideal line of work, he had gotten it due to the programming skills he had picked up as a "fallback plan."

Now that he had fallen back on his fallback, however, MU-kun began to feel that his existence bordered on mediocre. Nevertheless, with a heavy heart, MU-kun started life as a working man.

MU-kun greatly admired the world of artistic sense and talent. But his lofty standards for it also applied to his goals, as well as his fear of failing to reach them.

The world he wanted into was laden with risk. Behind each success were the corpses of countless failures. The mere thought of it deterred him from setting foot in. If he became like them, it would expose his own mediocrity to the entire world.

MU-kun cursed himself for not being stupid enough to ignore his deep-seated fears.

He hated watching television, a bastion of the successful and talented. Even the celebutantes branded as fools by the public had made it by their own merit. Their lives shone far brighter than his own. He began to feel envious of their eccentricities and zany, big-city antics.

"If only I'd gotten over myself. Maybe things would be different."

"If only I'd been more serious about becoming an astronaut."

"...Or about becoming an artist."
"...Or about joining a band."
"...Or about becoming a Doll-P."

Each "If" about every challenge he failed to pursue came to the same point: "I might have succeeded."

"If only I'd hit the gas instead of getting off at every juncture. Who knows? Maybe I could've made it big. Everyone who does always says they only got lucky. Maybe I could've been lucky too."

But no matter how much regret MU-kun felt comparing his life to the dreams he had abandoned, it was too late--now that he was employed, those junctures were few and far in between.

One day, MU-kun received an odd message in his company inbox. It was an invitation to become a Doll-P from a man who called himself Bluffman.

The man's tale about Regret and Redo sounded like nothing short of nonsense. Yet it intrigued him that he was even invited, despite the fact that he had never once uploaded a single musical work of his before.

He began corresponding with the man to pass the time, eventually sending back the reply, "Let me hear your music."

The song Bluffman sent back was by none other than Thorn, the same Doll-P whose talent had given him a reality check. As far as he was convinced, Bluffman WAS Thorn. Why she was under an alias, he didn't know, but the fact that she wanted him made him convulse with joy.

It could have very well been the last chance he ever got to press the gas. MU-kun then went on to become the first Musician to accept Bluffman's invitation.

With the freedom to choose his background and appearance in Redo, MU-kun chose to become a virtuoso who crafted art and composed music with an outer-space theme, thereby fulfilling each of his childhood dreams at once.

He could don bizarre fashions, put on an eccentric air, and stir things up by speaking and acting in all sorts of odd ways.

...All of which he could never bring himself to do in reality, no matter how much he wanted.

Strangely enough, the more he did so, the more people praised him as an artist, and the more his followers grew in number.

When it came down to it, MU-kun never had any particular ideals or beliefs regarding Regret or Redo.

That said, he was by far one of the least concerned about the fate of the world outside.

Reality was simply far too realistic for MU-kun.
