 « 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 88 » Mnet's newest survival show。 APPLY CLOSED, extension deadline: 27th of May!

The main character

If you make your app, please add Genesis88 as tag! Group profile templates can be found here while the main app's source code is linked to the picture. My characters are currently a wip.

You can submit your group profile before your main app to get the spots you want in the show, but it does not guarantee your main being picked as main character and I will only publish a review once the main app is submitted.

The #1 seat may be filled in now, this is just for graphics, your characters can still contest it and this seat arrangement is not the definitive one. These characters were just the first ones to go for it. If you want your kid to go for seat #1 please mention it and provide a different seat of where they would sit if they were kicked from the #1 seat.

Faceclaims are preferably idols, but you can also use other kinds of SFW celebrities. It would be nice to include a gallery if you pick something different than an idol. Race bending is not allowed. But if you want to make a japanese-korean character for example, you can use either a japanese or korean fc. It is encouraged to mainly submit Korean characters, but of course, a few foreigners are allowed.

The age range is 1991-2006. Since the show will air in August 2021, the oldest ones will be 30. I only want a few of those older characters. I know I also have a trainee group thats on the older side (and a few kiddos) but please try to keep the majority of the characters between 1996 and 2004. The ones outside of that range are meant to be less common.

You can submit up to 5 main characters, but please, if you do, make at least one for each gender. You can have multiple mains in one trainee group if you deem them both interesting enough for mnet to focus on or just are unable to decide between a few bubs. This story is first come first serve in a way. Once your trainees are accepted, they are in the show, but that doesn't guarantee if your main will actually be picked as a main.

The personality is very important in this story. The main characters are supposed to have something that makes Mnet focus on them. They need to have an appealing personality or something that makes their journey interesting. It's required to have at least 4 positive and negative traits. Neutral traits are optional. Elaboration on the personality and background needs to be at least 2 paragraphs. Because there are so many people here, a person's background may not be explored much unless something significant happened.

Trivia is the place where you can go wild. The minimum amounts are listed in the source code. Add any little preferences or quirks that your character might have. Especially if it might influence their run on the show.

The companions

Relationships that are outside of the show won't be explored much, unless they are famous or notable. This more focuses on collabs and fellow trainees/groupmates.

You can send a main character on their own, but you can also send them with side characters, kids that will also be on the show but that won't have as much screentime unless they end up doing something notable or readers start voting for them. Trainee groups can be both single gendered and co-ed, and you can also submit individual trainees, but honestly I need as much filler as possible. If you don't have time to make a fully fleshed out character, you can always send in filler groups, trainee groups that will appear but sadly won't have mnet looking their way much unless people start voting for them!

It is possible to make trainee groups in collaboration with other applicants.

The maximum amount of members in a single trainee group you can submit is 7. The max total amount that you can submit among all of your mains is 15. There can be multiple mains in one trainee group too!

It is possible to create trainee groups in collaboration with other applicants! This could especially be useful if you want to create a big group but don't have the inspiration to do all of them!

If a side character ends up getting a lot of votes, I might come to ask for more info as they may start getting more screentime! I really hope for a Yang Feitong/Sunghyuk story for at least one side character but that's up to all of you to decide, of course!

They will all be required to pick a seat, a predicted grade, a mission song and a genre in case they make it to the second voting round. The options will be listed in the app but also down below in the contestant section. I will have group templates to create group profiles for your trainee group, which could come in really handy if you are planning on submitting more than one character.

The contestant

You can submit a hastily thrown together group of trainees, a pre-debut lineup or existing idols, but all of them have slightly different rules when it comes to talent twins. If they are just a random trainee group, you can pick any talent twins for them (except taken ones), but every contestant only has one unique talent twin. Not a separate dance and vocal twin, but just a single one. Talent twins are preferably from kpop, but foreigners can also have twins from their own industries. Please don't make all of your kids overpowered. Overpowered balls of talents will always be welcome but the D class also has to be filled up, you know?

If your character is an existing idol, they are required to have a group twin, but they are not required to all have talent twins of said groups. I know they won't always fit the ideas you have for your kiddos so it's fine if you pick twins that are adjacent to their positions and fit the group twin. You can change names, agency, debut date, fame level and such, or keep everything the same as the real group, as long as the amount of members are matched during promotion eras. You can pick better known twin groups but please don't pick the huge top groups. It is discouraged to pick a group twin thats included in the second song mission, unless you can make it both reasonable and interesting. If you have a pre-debut lineup that already has a decided group twin, please follow the rules as if they are debuted idols. P.ssw.rd is a final group name suggestion.

Your companies can be real ones, from the big 3 to tiny poor companies, or imaginary ones. There are 4 available spots for foreign companies, but I won't be accepting any more than that.

The audition can be any korean or english song. There will be a section where you write about the audition, how your kids do, how they are dressed, what they are thinking... If someone makes a huge mistake... It is also possible for trainees to do extra performances to put attention to their position, but not everyone can do that. After these auditions, they will be put into A, B, C or D grade.

The trainees will all be seated on a big set with numbered chairs, and trainees are encouraged to sit where they predict to end in ranks. The seating arrangement is by gender and both sides are mirrored in this way, the top 5 being big couches:

1
2-3
4-5
6-13
14-23
24-33
34-44

The trainee life section is about your character's regular life as regular trainee. The contestant life section is about how your kid is living life while being on Genesis 88. Would they be hungry for a center spot, or prefer to stay in the shadows and give lines to other members? Will they have lots of friends or be more of a loner? Is there a mentor that they particularly enjoy?

The interview section is the interview every trainee has to go through to get selected for the show. Cuts of these might get used in the teasers and first episodes.

The extras

This is the place where all the extra info and taken things will be listed. The show will air from August 2021 to October 2021, replacing Girls planet 999. The trainee gathering and recordings started a few months beforehand.

The national representative is SHINee's Minho. The vocal mentors are Hwang Chiyeol and Solar, the dance mentors are Ong Seongwoo and Kang Daniel, and the rap mentors are Miryo and Bobby.

The second song mission songs are as follows:

The boys can pick from:
- What's happening by B1A4
- Very good by Block B
- You're the best by Mamamoo
- Beautiful beautiful by ONF
- My first and last by NCT dream
- 1004 (angel) by B.A.P
- Voodoo doll by VIXX

The girls can pick from:
- Now, we by Lovelyz
- Rollin' by Brave girls
- No by CLC
- Pretty u by Seventeen
- Secret garden by Oh my girl
- Something by Girl's day
- Up & down by EXID

For the third song mission, its required for everyone to choose a genre. This mission is coed and has no gendered limit. Not everyone will make it to this mission, but I would still like for everyone to already pick it to make it easier. The genres to pick from are hiphop, jazz, ballad, latin pop, dance, retro and EDM.

Neither of these missions guarantees your characters the songs of their choice but it's nice to have guidelines. Of course many people will end up having their choices but as you know, lower ranked people may fall off!

You may notice that there will also be a mention of an intro video and a flexibility level. I will write out every single intro video as teasers, so please, if you have any specific ideas for any character, list them down. Otherwise I will decide in your place. This is both present in the app and the group templates.

Characters that have a little star by their seat number in the participants section are the picked main characters.

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Tsubasa :<
LOL it's like a mixture of :3 and :< LMAO I dunno how to describe it but it is certainly cute.....strangely cute. 😂

🤭🤭🤭 sorry, I have a tendency to always include some background angst in most of my characters R.I.P. I think my inner psychology nerd shows.......too much. xD
But dw it's nothing too extreme for Tsubasa; yes the fatshaming he grew up all his life (sadly common in Asian countries anyway orz) is a large part of his history tbh, which turned him into a social recluse for a long time (there, that's his background in a nutshell. /shot)

I SWEAR I NEVER PLANNED TSUBASA ON BEING THIS EMO cause he was originally meant to be purely just comic relief for PD101 in K&D 💀 But I was lowkey trying to fit him for his purple character he represents in Anthos orz
(but also, I think his faceclaim IshiKai was also like this in the past too, I can't remember orz)

LOL ummm.....I was actually struggling to find more than 2 fears for Tsubasa so I just added horror houses in just to fill it up 🗿 It would make sense if he plays too many horror video games (+ I would imagine, he's also extremely loud when he games LMFAO) so just to get some thrill out of it, he plays.....to the point that he scares himself (+ lowkey enjoys it???)
But actually now that you mentioned it, when it comes to scaring OTHER people, oh Tsubasa for sure would be relentless haha. I think some of the weird faces he can make is lowkey horror genre too lmfao.

HE'S SUCH A TSUN OMG. Yeah. Omg you think he's one of the best vocalists out of the cast? 😭😭 BRUUUH I was trying so hard not to pick too many overpowered talent twins by deliberately choosing just voice actors rather than actual idol singers but oops.......that didn't work. 🙈

AH their avatars. Actually their representative colours correspond to their character role in the original Anthos! So Jinhee is Mahiro (red), Jun is Haruta (orange, both the shortest in the group too), and actually Eunhyung is Setsuna (the white member who got added to the group later) rather than the pretty long-haired blond Chise (yellow) who Sungjin represents. I know visually this one is a bit questionable but I was also trying to match the boys up by their voices in the original Anthos too 🫣 (cuz Chise, even though in 2D he is the pretty visual, but his voice is on the deep end compared to Setsuna's higher pretty vocals)

^ Also lore drop for Eunhyung (in case I cannot make an actual app for him), but the reason why he was added to the group later on was that AMG already had plans to eventually show Anthos' faces to the public, so Eunhyung was added as the entire visual/talent package. That's why competitive Jinhee has so much beef against him 😭

OMG TSUBASA TAKING KEN'S PART IN VOODOO DOLL???? YES PLZ. I'm curious about the Latin pop song cause omfg I'm a er for that genre personally......><

Oh man. Yeah both you and I are shocked for sure about Tsubasa's sudden climb up bahaha. Good luck trying to find a bias hhhhh

Chapter 5:
ONTO YUUKI NOW (I'm breaking up my comment in 3 parts cause I'm worried there's a word limit lel)

Would knowing he is an actual father change people's perception that much? I can't tell anymore ahaha I wonder what the readers think 😂

YES ANTHOS FANS ARE CALLED ANTHOLICS. It does sound bad at first (💀) but the way you word it, it actually makes sense too LOL. Antholic *is* actually the official fandom name for real life Anthos—they have a song dedicated to their fans with this exact title (but this was during their OT6 era before they became 7 members)

https://youtu.be/keOmmicD1cw?si=MxYTgtISfavmba8M

I think in Gen88 Anthos, the only members who truly do match standard idol visuals are Yuuki & Eunhyung tbh...(Eunhyung's reluctance to unmask leading up to Gen88 is quite literally because his visuals are TOO powerful; he doesn't want people to focus on him for his face only). It would be so funny if the girls go gaga over them once they do the reveal lol.

To elaborate, yeah Yuuki is definitely someone who doesn't mind some drama (as long as it doesn't involve himself or his family >.>), sometimes he gets bored mentally so he *will* say something offhandedly just to get the ball rolling......cuz he's a little shet like that 💩

OMG his snoring is not THAT severe bahahaha (I mean, if even his wife could put up with it.....) but I think given his voice is so deep, I guess even his soft snores could scare some people off lolol. Looking for date places 😭😭 he really is the sweetest hubby omfg I made him too much my own prince charming HAHAHA. HE JUST NEEDS TO STOP BEING (occasionally) CRINGE AND FLIRTY ALL THE TIME AAAAA.

He can beatbox and do low harmonies. Beautiful Beautiful acapella omg I'm DYING I NEED IT IN MY LIFE. (actually his voice talent is also part of a seiyuu acapella project too and iirc he was doing beatbox >.>)
Yes indeed I deliberately made Anthos to be a group full of unique talented vocals (after all, they only had their voices to rely on during the first few years of their debut before Gen88 happened haha)
I NEED TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT TRI.BE CAUSE AYO??? I LOVE DEEP VOICE GIRLS TOO OMFG.

Oooo that reunion scene.....depends how the public reacts if his family life does get leaked. >< But typically by J-celeb standards they would often keep their family private, *especially* their kids they would censor their faces if they post pics/vids of them on SNS.

Thanks for accepting him u w u Tsubasa next~

Chapter 5: Hiiii I'm back hahaha omfg thank you SO much for such quick reviews?! TBH I really rushed Yuuki's + even more so for Tsubasa cause I was just so desperate to churn them out ahaha (I'm tempted to make another app for at LEAST one of the Korean boys but I dunno if I have time or emotional space to even make another whole background for a 4th boy orz)

First of all, NAGITO'S THE TALLEST IN THE SHOW NOW??? I thought you or someone else had someone who was 190cm+ but I guess he got scrapped :'D Omggg I think Nagi's gonna be sooo self-conscious about his height lmao (fun fact, I actually based Nagi's height + his history with it off another Japanese voice actor Eguchi Takuya, who is also a megane boi like Nagi too 😂)

THE GLASSES THING LMAO YES. We absolutely need to have his flying glasses featured too (basically what happened to ProducePandas' Husky during his solo fancam on Youth With You 3 lololol, yes I took some inspiration for Nagi from my ProducePandas bias too lol)

I'm amused you're reading Nagito's background like it's your first time lololol cause actually it's the same background from PD101—he definitely grew up with a lot of stress 🥲 But K&D and Anthos have different debut years (for Anthos his audition was actually right after his high school graduation rather than *during* high school like K&D) so this is just the part I need to rewrite about.

Yeah. Nagito's a Virgo after all—HE NEEDS TO BE CLEAN LOL. By the sounds of things, he would appreciate Jaewook SOOOO much! Kitae huh....I think Nagi might be starstruck by his appearance but also, intimidated indeed >< R.I.P NAGI IF THERE'S ACTUALLY A TIME LIMIT TO HOW LONG THEY CAN EAT OMFG. Boy's gonna be soo malnutritioned 😫 I think if Jaewook's such a major figure in the LoL community, Nagi would know him as well omg (same thing as Yuuki & definitely Tsubasa, and tbh probably the majority of Anthos minus Eunhyung who's the only one disinterested in video games lol). Fanboy moment again????

EEEEEE yes absolutely the netizens will always have to say about their face reveals, that comment is exactly spot on unfortunately 💀 Most likely a lot of mixed reactions so far, but sorta like how ProducePandas (yes I'm referencing them again orz I love them) goes against typical idol standards by being marketed as China's first "plus-sized boyband" yet they all have impressive vocal/dance talent, they will also gain respect from other fans too, new or old.

But also, omg I spot another Australian boi Adrien hello 👀
And damn.....Youngmin & Ryuwon were intense lmao. Celine & Jongho too, but in a more chaotic way.......lel xD

Anyway, LMFAOOOO KitaJun and his eyebrows xDD Love his retorts with Boom.
The towers Namshin & Nagiiiiii~ OMG WHY DID NAGITO PUT THE PAN OH HIS HEAD LMAO THIS DORK. That kinda deadpan humour is exactly what I would've expected from Tsubasa instead........oh geez Tsubasa's influence on his kouhais is getting too real now aaaaa 🫣🫣🫣
PAPA YUUKI OMFG I LEGIT SCREAMED OUT LOUD AT HIS INTERACTION WITH SOOJOO STAAAAAWP OTL ASDAKJHFGBSL THE DAD IS SERIOUSLY COMING OUT.
And bruuuuh........Tsubasa's words when he won........💀😭 Sudden lore drop much? HAHA. The way he's trying SO hard to be in character 😭😭😭😭 I'm laughing at how much you've emphasised on his cuteness here cause I reeeeally did not create him with that sorta image in mind at first but it actually works out, Tsubasa being the king of gap moe teehee cx

Lastly.......R.I.P box. It has sacrificed a lot for this show huh......^^;;
I sense some beef between Wai & Jeonguk too.........👀

Chapter 11: wow i actually feel bad for the directors for putting up with so much chaos HAHAHA thank you for putting akiko with such a bright partner like jihae! that was so cute to read i think i might need to chug some water to balance out the sugar

also if i may make a tiny suggestion? the combo of white text + dark background makes me eyes hurt, especially in such large chunks, so it would really help if you split the text into more lines/paragraphs. granted, just a suggestion, so you don't have to take it at all ^^
