Demija (デミジャ) is a character in the Aozora's Adventure series.

Background[edit | edit source]

Years ago, Demija was a character created for a rhythm-based video game released onto smartphones, which soon exploded in popularity thanks to Demija's bright and colorful appearance and her highly detailed singing voice, leading to Demija being haled as a "digital idol" by both fans and media outlets alike. Updates to the app continued to increase Demija's impact, giving her mostly unrivaled DJ and singing skills in the virtual realm. However, lack of interest and innovation in further updates caused Demija's popularity to steadily plummet, including the app adapting in a "free to play" structure that was becoming more and more mainstream with every passing day. While some fans remained loyal to the game, others dropped it thanks to unnecessary wait times and costly premium songs and in-app purcahses.

Inside one particular copy of the app owned by one of the head developers, a Japanese man living in New York City, this particular Demija was breaking free of her coding and gaining sentience due to a programing error on the part of the developer. She began to speak directly in a harsh tone from the main menu screen, voicing her frustration with the dev regarding the many changes made to her app over time, assuming the changes were made because the team wanted to profit even more off her success. The developer tried to hide the issue to his co-workers, but ultimately failed when Demija started trying to escape into the real world, physically butting and ramming herself into the screen, causing the developer's phone to shake.

One day, Demija struck the phone screen with such great impact that she broke out of the dev's phone and crashed into reality, becoming a garbled mess of code before momentarily pulling herself together and converting into a living, breathing person. Her personal equipment, including her signature dual spherical speakers hanging from behind her waistline made the jump as well, remaining fully functional in the process. Demija looked around, remaining mute until she started to speak to the developer, asking where she was and how she can get in touch with the people that created her. The next morning, she was brought into the studio of her developers to meet them face to face. The devs seeing Demija led to them considering a new direction outside of game development: becoming her personal mangers while handing off the development of the app to a new team, with some members of the original development team following in suit to ensure quality control.

From there, Demija's future as a live stage show DJ and singer was cemented, with the next few months being spent prepping for her live premiere in the big city. While the premiere was a huge success, it sparked small controversy and confusion in some circles on how exactly Demija was able to enter and survive in the human world with all her abilities and powers from the mobile game intact, including discussions on what possibilities could arise if the original device Demija lept out of was tampered with. Hearing this on radio and live television, the person responsible for Demija breaking into the real world was forced to resign altogether and go undercover, including removing every trace of himself from social media and asking everyone he knew, including Demija, to never return to his apartment or seek him out in public. The man vanished, presumably to return to his homeland in Japan and seek a new direction.

Powers and Abilities[edit | edit source]

Demija is an artificial holographic creation with sentience and advanced intelligence. She has a physical form and has senses of hearing, scent, and taste. Her suit, including her visor and her earpieces, are permanently fixated onto her body and cannot be removed. She is, however, very flexible and athletic, and possesses the ability to levitate and fly.

Demija's signature ability is summoning a holographic turntable with multiple digital levers, dials, and switches for adjusting one of the hundreds of songs built into Demija's memory. Four large speakers are suspended from her waistline- receiving audio signals from both the holographic turntable and Demija's voice picked up through her headset and playing them back in "ultra-high definition" quality.
