Starlight Mayhem

Starlight Mayhem is a mod created by TheMaskedChris. The week features two new original opponents, CJ and Ruby who are members of the band On Command created by TheMaskedChris.

Recently, the mod got an update known as Starlight Mayhem: Rebooted. In this updates, there are many new features such as CJ's new vocals, Ruby's new vocals, a new background character, 4 new songs and a full extra week.

Development History
During the 3rd week of March 2021 (March 15-21) when the Tricky, Hex, Mid-Fight Masses, and Zardy mod released, the director, TheMaskedChris, decided to make the Starlight Mayhem mod because of their influence.The best week ever, i decided to start making starlight mayhem on this same week thanks to all of these amazing mods

Story
Boyfriend takes Girlfriend to a Starlight Mayhem concert for their date, only to be recognized by CJ who asks for a friendly song battle. After which, he congratulates BF, but reveals he wasn't the best vocalist of the band anyway. Ruby then runs in, apologizing for being late, but CJ tells her she's just in time and encourages her, despite her shyness, to sing against Boyfriend. The week then concludes with a final duet number where Boyfriend and Girlfriend (who joins in due to thinking a 2v1 battle isn't really fair) face off against CJ and Ruby.

There's no story in the bonus week, just a friendly little rap battle.

Gameplay Mechanic - Burst Bar
The Starlight Mayhem Rebooted adds in a new "burst bar" mechanic, which fills up when players his notes in succession with each other. Once the bar is filled, it can be activated by pressing the Space Bar. While it's active, it grants the player 2x score points, and your health bar regenerates twice as fast. The bar will run down at a fast pace while it's active, and once it's empty it can only be reactivated once it's filled up again.

Characters
{{#tag:tabber| {{!}}-{{!}}CJ=

CJ
CJ is the first and main opponent of the mod.

Appearance
CJ is a young man with short dark hair, blue eyes, and pointy canine teeth in his mouth that ressemble fangs. He wears a blue and black hoodie as well as black pants and white shoes. He also wears black earrings.

Personality
Not much information is given about CJ's personality, but from what we can piece together, CJ seems to be a fairly confident, outgoing, and energetic person, and can sometimes be overconfident. His heart is clearly in the right place, however, as demonstrated by his support of Ruby through her issues and insecurities. He admits to things he has some trouble with, such as that he's not the best at vocals. He is resistant to rejection when Ruby rejected his offer to mimic BF and GF's. It's implied he has high intellect as he does very well in school.

Ruby
Ruby is the second opponent of the mod.

Appearance
Ruby is a young girl with short, puffy white hair and a pink eye. She wears a grey and black hoodie along with a black beanie and some black ripped jeans. She also wears grey shoes.

Personality
Not much is given about Ruby's personality, but from what we can put together, Ruby is very shy, as shown in Echoes' dialogue. Despite this, she is a very good vocalist.

Backstory
Ruby was heavily abused as a child by her parents, to a point where they removed her eye in a fit of rage. She was usually 'punished' by being cut with a knife, leaving many scars around her body. When she was 16, she had enough, when she finally got her license, she ran away. After traveling all night in a car she saved up for months to rent, she finally met up with her one online friend, and soon to be boyfriend, Mark. Where she was kindly accepted by his parents, and now she's able to live a normal life, but she's struggling to move on, even 4 years later.

After some time, after they graduated high school, Mark and Ruby moved into a house with CJ and the rest of the friend group, where they all paid rent together. But they all met in high school. She is a pretty good singer, but she always kept it to herself. She loves writing songs and making melodies, but one day, CJ suddenly listened to her singing on her room across the door, and he burst in screaming “AYO CAN YOU BE PART OF THE BAND” and the rest is history. TheMaskedChris said that the story isn't finished but this is what it is right now on Ruby's side.

Trivia

 * In v1.0, CJ and Ruby lacked winning icons, unlike the rest of the characters in Mic'd Up and Psych Engine, this was fixed in the Rebooted update so that they properly use winning icons.
 * Icons of IceyPie exist, they can be found in the mod's icon grid.
 * CJ's old voice originates from Sho Minamimoto's voice lines from The World Ends With You and Sonic's voice lines from Team Sonic Racing.
 * CJ's "It's showtime!" line also comes from Sonic, this time from his voice lines from Puyo Puyo Tetris 2.
 * During the cutscenes the song (made by Kawai Sprite) "Give a Lil' Bit Back" can be heard in the background. This song was also used for the cutscenes in the VS. Hex mod.
 * In an earlier version of the mod, in the first cutscene, CJ is singing Counterstrike from Persona 5 Strikers.
 * The guitar player is named Abel, the drummer is named Max, and the piano player is named Olley. They're both counted as characters and have their own separate charts to control their movement.
 * All five of the band members are LGBTQ+ in some form. CJ and Olley are bisexual(PD: Olley is Lesbian), Ruby and Vade are pansexual, and Max and Abel are gay.
 * The sprites for Boyfriend and Girlfriend are actually a modified version of the mod Closer Together, with the only change being that the kiss mark on Boyfriend's cheek was removed.
 * In a QnA on Twitter, it was confirmed that CJ is only friends with Ruby, and they are not a couple. Ruby and CJ have their own partners.
 * This was most likely said and answered due to the Friday Night Funkin' community coupling up characters who are seen with each other or have the same similar sort of traits.
 * TheMaskedChris himself stated in the same QnA that he doesn't mind if people still ship them, however.
 * Ruby and CJ are canonically dating in the Soft mod universe.
 * It's also worth noting their personalities have swapped, meaning that Ruby is now the outgoing and eccentric type, while CJ is the one who is shy and timid.
 * During the first cutscene, in the audience you can find popular mod characters like: Whitty, Tricky, Carol, Ruv, and Hex.
 * You can also find characters from Wii Deleted You, another series by TheMaskedChris and IceyPie. The characters include Eteled, Corrupted Mii, Henry, Austin, and Sam.
 * It is worth mentioning that when this mod was released, there was no mod on the creepypasta.
 * During the first cutscene, in the audience you can also see other characters from various games such as Sans, Sonic, Kirby and Steve (Or Herobrine).
 * In endless mode, Abel and Max will play out of sync after a few songs. It's unknown why this happens.
 * Enabling the old voices will not only change to the original voice but also show a number of changes.
 * Olley and the Burst bar are absent in all songs.
 * CJ's head is now a .png file of bread and he is now wearing a .png file of a yellow Homer Simpson shirt.
 * Ruby is seen as very confused in Artificial Lust.
 * In the remaster, there is a bonus week which has 3 songs in total, which is Parallax, Starstorm, and Coda. The place of the 3 songs takes place in the band's garage.
 * There is also a secret bonus song in Freeplay called "It's Complicated". It is the same song from Week 3 in the Soft mod. TheMaskedChris said in the dialogue of the song, that it shouldn't go without mention.
 * According to the plot of It's Complicated (The Ruby and CJ cover), Ruby came up with the song for her boyfriend Mark, and Grace didn't make the song. There's a chance that this isn't canon, though.
 * There were plans for this mod to have a collaboration with the Vs. Bob and Bosip mod and vice versa, but due to controversy surrounding the latter's mod creator, AmorAltra, these plans have been transferred to TaeYai instead.
 * There's a possibility for Turtle Pals Tapes (the music label who released the Tricky, Garcello, Annie, and Bob soundtracks physically) to release the Starlight Mayhem soundtrack physically, since they said on Twitter that they "may have talked with Chris already."
 * On Twitter, TheMaskedChris confirmed that CJ's full name is Carl Johnson which is also the name of the protagonist of GTA: San Andreas.

Cameos in other mods
Note: None of these cameos is canon to CJ or Ruby's story.


 * In Vs. Bob and Bosip, due to TheMaskedChris being head animator, CJ and Ruby can be seen in a car driving by in Swing. They also run over Ron post-Ronald Mcdonald Slide. CJ is also in the files and can be seen on the menu and will laugh when pressing specific keys. CJ was also going to replace Boyfriend in Jump-out (a window) but the team switched to Anders.
 * In The Date Week, CJ and Ruby have a chance to walk by in the background of Perfume and Heartbass.
 * In VS. Void, CJ and Ruby appear in the crowd.
 * In  Vs eteled, A Ruby plushie is seen on the shelves of the TV area in the intro, as well as a CJ figure.
