Dislikes: Waking up early, annoying papparazi, letting his vunerabilites be known

Wacky was born in Tokyo, but moved out to the United StatesMy/my friend's AU takes place in the United States, particuarly an area inspired by suburban New York when he was a small toddler. There he grew up in a small house with his parents who were both very much obsessed with media of all types and was practically raised on it. Growing up, he was kinda hyperactive and a bit unhinged, hence being given the nickname "Wacky" - this name just kinda stuck. He was often very insecure and had trouble getting along with most kids, feeling like the black sheep of whatever group of friends he tried to fit in with. He had such odd and obscure interests compared to others and never really fell into the latest trends, plus having emotional issues didn't help either. There was this looming feeling over his head that something wasn't right with him.

One day he met a new kid in the neighborhood who moved into the neighborhood from Liverpool, England - a giraffe boy named Johnny D. Wacky noticed the boy listening to a GS Group Sounds -it's a genre of music from Japan and both Wacky and Johnny canonically represent it ;P album that he was familar with and immediately wanted to gush about it with him. The young giraffe was shocked he found someone around his age also interested in his taste in music, but he was happy nevertheless and started talking to to the human that approached him. Needless to say, they became very close friends.

Wacky started taking interest in music classes. He already loved to sing, so why not learn to do it more professionally? In his early teens, he had private tutors who happened to also work in the music biz. Also around this time, he was invested in a band called Roseate Tones my headcanon band that W.B. Rose and Jeff had together before they split due to creative differences, especially their singer - W.B. Rose. - ... this will be important later...

Around this point, Wacky had come to terms that he was trans. He always knew something was off, but this was when he was figuring himself out. Luckily, his parents were very accepting of him and supported him throughout his transition - they too knew something was up with their child and wanted him to feel happy and safe.

During high school, Wacky came up with a garage band with Johnny D called the Sunshine Lovers, which Judy joining in for occassional additional vocals. Oh hell yeah this is a very blatant reference to that one Pop'n 7 art that was made before it was established the Kiddy & Sunshine Lovers characters were pals, which wasn't a thing until Pop'n 8 with Really's FEVER Win and Lose animations ;P Sadly this didn't last too long due to the three's schedules never aligning too often, being too busy with other things.

(also somewhere between this and current day, he got three adorable lil' pet pandas)

A few years went by - Wacky was now a young adult. He wasn't quite sure where his life was going, but... it sure was going. His private tutors got into contact with a super talented singer and performer who had recently moved from across pond; it was W.B. Rose - Wacky's idol! The young man couldn't believe his eyes when he saw him - absolutely starstruck. Wacky was given the opportunity for Mr. Rose to be his mentor to help him persue his musical career - of course he happily accepted! As they worked together for Wacky to build up his strong vocal skill, W.B. grew so impressed, he offered to let him sing alongside him. Wacky accepted and moved in with him - as he was looking for somewhere to move anyway. This was like a dream come true for the fan.

Upon moving in, Wacky met Ted=Pete, the skeletal lyrical genius who worked alongside W.B. since the beginning - the backbone of his career, if you will, haha! The three of them were a good trio already, but things only got crazier when two extraterrestrial beings came to Earth - an alien from a planet orbiting Albireo (not the cat, the real-life double-star ;P) and his young companion from the digital world. He had his qualms about them just being able to waltz in, but they charmed the trio with their melodies. Welp, there seemed to be a proper band now! Wacky came up with the name "Sunshine Lovers" - his dream band rejuvinated!

Wacky today is seen as the attractive dreamboat and it gives him a boost of confidence, but it also sorta contrasts with how he is off-stage. He's not super vain like W.B. Rose, but he does still care quite a lot about how others see him. After all, he lived a life of constant insecurity, and it does take him a while for him to feel fully comfortable with things. He can be somewhat irritable and impulsive and often quite sarcastic. He doesn't mean harm when he acts out like this - he just doesn't always know how to cope with certain social situations. Thankfully his friends are all patient with this and try their best to make him feel the best he can.

. Johnny D, being Wacky's close childhood friend is an "honorary member" of the Sunshine Lovers when extra guitars are needed for a project. Johnny doesn't mind that he's not included as a full-time member in the current version of the band, as he has his own life to tend to. Wacky often turns to him if he needs to talk about something personal.

. He has a massive sweet tooth. He especially loves chocolately treats, like pocky (oh and Hello Panda, he has good taste).

. His pet pandas are named Blueberry, Blackberry, and Strawberry - they are his emotional support pets. Also drummmers, because yes. Every 70s cartoon has their very sentient animal friend.

. He's mixed race, being Japanese, Armenian, and Latvian (... I'm not even kidding, these originated from inside jokes with a friend). Japanese from his father's side, Armenian and Latvian from his mother's.

. He frequents thrift shops and old record shops - sometimes takes Melon and/or Really with him.

. He is autistic. I'm autistic and a lot of what I headcanon is personal projection based on my own experiences.Super passionate about entertainment and WILL infodump about the weirdest things for hours if given the chance. The scarf he wears is not just a super stylish fashion statement - he wears it for sensory reasons as well. He also stims with it all the time, even orally stimming it when stressed. (look at his lose animation, he is stimming it :P).
