Mililani Gardner

A theatrical attention-seeker who takes great care of his appearance and has no qualms about pointing out the flaws in others'. His background as a popular idol in the music industry has created a great disgust for ‘fake’ people.

So, he has a sadistic pleasure in revealing truths that people are desperate to hide.

• According to close friend Gabrielle Eleazar, Mililani was never always the loud, prideful person he is currently. When they had first met years ago, he seemed somewhat bashful. She wonders if he was always someone who thrives in the light, or he became that way after growing up surrounded by it.
• Performances by Mililani always feature blinding lights, neon synthesizers, and outrageous outfits.
  • He also has a t-shirt cannon he shoots into the audience from time-to-time. Sometimes the shirt design is just his face printed on the front and back.​
  • Fans of Mililani have dedicated glowsticks that resemble the magenta-purple-cyan gradient featured on his signature outfit.​
• Out of all the competitors in the 200th season, Mililani has the highest social presence, boasting over a million followers on Schemer.
  • This is still significantly less than those of his fellow industry artists, primarily due to him constantly involving himself in controversy and lacking a careful PR team.​
• Lies are supposedly something he hates, though he is prone to twisting the truth himself. Mililani has justified this discrepancy by describing his tricks as 'white lies' - statements that are intended to be solved, rather than to deceive.
• 'La ha ha', Mililani's style of laughter, is described as musical, almost as if singing rather than sounding.
  • Other common phrases, like 'mmm hmm', are described to resemble humming.​
• Oojin will sometimes fight choices that are intended to 'kiss up' to Mililani for relationship purposes - an uncommon example of them fighting player autonomy in favor of their true thoughts.
  • Even when the player manages to succeed, Mililani will note that the behavior seemed forced or sardonic. As a result, the best way to bond with Mililani is to follow Oojin's intuition while avoiding overly negative interactions.​​
• Bisexual characters make up the majority of Chromasynth, with Mililani described as the most 'pre-eminent example' - alluding to his open attraction to all genders and his color palette featuring a pink, purple, and blue gradient.
• Even before his Value allowed him to manipulate his voice, Mililani had developed perfect pitch as a child as a result of years of practice.
  • Before he had broken into the industry, he would perform on the streets for tips.​​​
• Laxatives, razors, and various poisons have all been found in 'presents' left by 'fans' after his performances. Since he receives baskets every concert, he makes sure to take his time examining each one, taking in aaall the glorious rewards of being a star. ;)
  • Over time, he’s developed a bit of an immunity to poisons. Whether this is due to ingesting these ‘gifts’ or some other training is unknown.​​​
• Volume control is a secondary ability as a result of his Value, allowing him to control the loudness of sounds from and surrounding him. He has ended particularly heated arguments by 'muting' the other party, rendering them unable to make any sounds as long as his Value is activated.​ He can also create sound barriers so that whatever is heard inside cannot be heard outside.
• Elderly people and young children seem to be the exception from his sadistic mischief, though it's hardly a mercy considering he is rarely in their company.
• Deafness is a potential consequence from misuse of the SOUND Value due to the combination of volume control and hearing sensitivity. Mililani is acutely aware of this and treats it as a more serious threat than any other potential harm to his body.
  • Mililani claims to practice sign language in his free time in order to reach a wider audience. However, it's more like that he's preparing for the worst possible outcome.​
• Even though he is the most promiscuous of the main cast, he has never been seen pursuing anything further than theatrical flirting and self-exhibition.
  • He is described to have had meaningless flings in the past, though who was involved, as well as his definition of a 'fling', remains unknown.​​
• Rarely does he ask for advice or help when it comes to solving problems, opting to go through with his (often complicated) solutions even if it comes at a high cost, even to himself.
  • Even when one offers to help, Mililani cordially rejects it, his plans supposedly working best when only he is privy to it. As a result, it is unknown just how many 'plans' he's undergoing in one moment, as he always keeps his true intentions hidden.
• Every time he winks, he does it with his right eye - the one mostly covered by his bang.
