Top 8 Males

This character is a die hard fan of Quna's ever since his youth. Each earring and red hair ball is something of a counter for everytime he's seen Quna in person. For the upcoming concert he changed his mag to a red puyo. He makes sure to take many pictures of every encounter and concert. The boots can help him get different angle shots.
TwistedShaerkSpoiler!
Quna’s concert is starting, and on a balcony away from the crowd, what appears to be a young couple is sitting back and enjoying it from a distance. In reality, the male in the two, Shaerk, does NOT want to be present at all. The whole thing started when Mitsuki, his friend, hear the concert was coming soon and wanted to go see it. He was about to suggest asking one of her other friends, since he’s not into this particular type of music. However, much to his annoyance, she HAD to ask him so many times to the point where he knew he couldn’t get out of it. So he got himself set up with the bare minimum in regards to appropriate attire so that he wouldn’t have to keep changing and went with her, despite how he felt. She may be someone he’s put up with for years, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know when she might be attempting to try making advances on him. Which explains his annoyance, as he remembers clearly telling her she’s just a friend to him on more than one occasion. To further dampen his mood, they’ve been called a “cute couple” there at least three times already, which is what he was afraid of from the start of this whole thing. As a result, she allowed him to pick as spot further away from the crowd, but she still wanted to be close enough to listen, so he chose a more solitary upper balcony. That way, he could be away from the crowd and it would allow him to pay more attention when he needed to the most. Thus concludes the story of why Shaerk is even at the concert at all, and why he’s still annoyed despite the song being on.
First off, the outfit and that was chosen for this entry. The reason I feel the costume works is because we’re going to a concert, so I think it’d make sense even in this universe to dress very casually. Second, The Shop Area’s current appearance is most reflective of an open air mall during summer, so the short sleeves and shorts reflect the idea of the weather being fairly hot during the concert.
With the accessories, the bracelets are more or less there because at some concerts, some people just like to bring vibrant, glowing things like glowsticks or glowstick bracelets. These are just his replacements, as he felt like he needed to wear something similar and Mitsuki probably would’ve been mad if he didn’t at bring at least those. The glasses are only there because he has impaired eyesight. He wears those all the time, nothing special about them in all honesty. The headphones, however, are something he brought on his own. Since he’s not entirely into big concerts, he brought his headphones and was listening to music he enjoys before to concert, in an attempt to calm himself down and to drown out the noises of the crowd. Needless to say, he’s not going to risk getting smacked for doing this during the concert itself, so once the concert went live he took them off.
Regarding their coloration, most of the colors on the costume/accessory combo are some shade of blue, which(not surprisingly), is his favorite color. But in terms of how it all goes with each other, the blue of the hair most closely matches up with the bracelets, which gives them a matching sense, but the blue of the shirt is different so that while it makes to colors match up properly, it prevents him from looking like he’s just wearing one solid blue color, at least if one disregards the rest of the outfit. The white pants, being considered the costume’s color, allowed the headphones to not blend in too much. This makes them stand out more than if they were the blue coloration, and allows for a good mix of colors since blue and white are colors that go fairly well together. The yellow highlights on the shirt and pants allow the two to have qualities that make it look like they match up well, which makes the combination more fitting an seem less off that it would be if the highlights were only on the pants. Plus, given the short-sleeved nature of the outfit, you’ll actually be able to notice his skin isn’t as pale as you would think, it actually looks a little tanned. Though I admit in this picture with the lighting you’ll need to squint to see it, if it’s even present at all. If anything, the eye color(which can barely be seen), is the main thing that’s off, as it’s actually a sea green, which is not anywhere on any part of the costume. Despite it not fitting with the costume or accessories though, what it does do is add a more calming color to him, which works since he is normally a calm and fairly laid back person.
The pose works for the scenario since, well, he’s not exactly enjoying himself. That’s why he’s leaning back with more of an annoyed expression on his face, because he does not want to be there. Albeit he also sighing because Mitsuki is trying to get him hyped up, when all it’s doing is annoying him. However, he’s not directing his face at her because he knows that’s how she is, and he’s put up with it for years, so he’s directing it at the concert so that he’s showing that he’s at least paying attention to the song. He’s also leaning because due to his laid back personality, Shaerk normally does this kind of thing when he’s not moving at all. It’s more of a natural position for him to be in since it makes him comfortable, another attempt to try calming himself down.

A concert is not necessarily fun for all. Some Arks have to work. As for MultiCore, he helps others having their night.

About the setup
Head unit antenna, to receive all the latest information about the concert, could also double as voice amplifier.
Body unit for the refined gentleman look. Great for special events such as a concert and maybe dinner afterwards with the "date".
Arm and leg unit supplies neon lights. Surely the biggest fan shall be spotted in the crowd.

As far as colors go, I attempted to make all of the accessories coordinate with each other in some way and made certain that they were all visible within the photo. Particularly hard ones to capture were the Pouch on his right wrist and Bag which would each contain a few goodies from the concert upon entering. His hair is an extremely dark shade of Blue, so the Robin Cap was used to give more flavor to the outfit; the green on it also matches with the highlights.
The scarf was added after consideration for the season and it meshes with the Bag and part of the Cap.
Also used is an outfit color that is not too bright, but still out of the ordinary and eye catching, especially for a male. Zukunft's main color is Magenta, so a shade of purple would not look farfetched on him and it stands out with his skin tone.
I did not want to go with a "suit" style outfit or one that is very bright and outgoing due to the declining sense of creativity with such outfits and. It is to be expected for a concert. I wanted to try something different and give appreciation to an outfit that wouldn't be seen normally for such an event. That was my reasoning behind choosing the Flamegash Elegance.
The pose depicted is with the Air Guitar LA to show that he is actually enjoying himself during the concert. It is not often he would attend such an event, but one thing he can relate to well is music. May as well show the spirit.
The background used was to encompass the lobby change from EP2 > EP3, but did not want to put too much in that it would overshadow Zukunft. The colors bring him out more. Regardless if he is not within the crowd of hundreds, he could still be spotted by his colors and position alone within the dimmed lobby.
This is my entry for the Moment of Style. ID name is GoldgenII like my username here and once again, the character name is Zukunft. I thank you for taking the time to read this message and I look forward to the progression of the event!

I considered dressing up really nicely but, I thought back and to me concerts are about lively entertainment: instead of formal wears.
The accessories I choose was a cat hat, Aron head gear, the big bottom ribbon, and the vampire teeth.
Len Kagamine is one of the cutest vocaloids and so from his Song "Magical ☆ Neko Len Len Kagamine" inspire me to make this photo. I tried to make my character look as much as a Cat but with a Human personality, I could not find exact match for accessories so I tried the Aron Head gear to complement the Cat Hat. The Cat ears would have been better, but I could not find a hat to match the Car ears as good as the Cat hat. the big bottom ribbon was to help accompaniment the outfit to help bring in some more yellow. the vampire teeth were used for cat fangs.
I also chose the flag to represent the Arks' ships and to celebrate a concert with all of my crew members.
The place that I am standing on had a sky view and that was more of own perspective. I wanted to put a little of bit of myself in the photo.
In the photo my character is holding out his hand and welcoming people to performance. He is enthusiastic and cheerful. He tries to be as cute as he can and wants everyone to have fun at the show.
Overall: I wanted to present a character who was cute and joyful that had a appreciation for music.

Twas a difficult choice, but after some thinking I just went with it. I had two rules; No black or white outfits and no popular colors, because they're plain and/or everyone uses them. So... I did some soul searching and that's when I found the Airy Summer Dress Moon. Since the concert is located right in the shopping area, I figured my character can dress for both shopping and the concert.
I wanted to use some leggings because the dress seems kinda plain (to be fair, it's actually a good dress), I went with the Lace leggings, then I added the Round Sunglasses to compliment the leggings (the dress actually does this alone since it has similarities to a yellow sunflower). Next was the Shoulder bag to compliment the blue lining on the dress. Wearing Twin Tails, I knew my head accessories were taking a nerf due to clipping, but I was lucky enough to grab a Feather Corsage from the shop for cheap. The Melody note was the finishing touch I needed, so if someone see's me while shopping they would immediately know that I'm going to the scheduled concert later on in the day/night.

Outfit reasoning:
When Quna's concerts were first being shown, they also hyped the glowsticks. When glowsticks are advertised, I usually think of raves. So I went with a rave-like costume, which usually incorporates a (fake) gas mask and attached glowy bits. Sadly, there's not really many glowy hair accessories, so I went with the hood instead since it's winter, we're ARKS, and... well, we know where these concerts always end up. Space be cold, yo.
If there were glowstick poles available, she'd be holding one and joining the crowd in the back for all the fancy dancing.
Can't see it well in this shot, but the headgear gives it a slight jester look, which matches this character's individual style.

I chose the Magia Savior C clothing as It matches my characters' color scheme nicely and fits her slim frame. I did not remove the caseal ears as they don't interfere with her overall looks.

Main idea of the setup is trying to be fabulous without showing off as some sort of a richie, which is a main category of people judge styles of each other when going to various events (like certain kinds of concerts).
Misty's dress is just made in an original way that makes it look well enough without "expensive" materials or handiwork on tier of mastering smallest pieces of cloth - it's just crafted to do what dresses do (Misty is a pirate daughter, after all). Another thing about this dress is its "antigravity" effect (not sure if it's just PSO2 implementation thing, but it's there), which gives it fabulous looks just like those dresses that use a lot of cloth at bottom parts (like Wedding/Bridal dress), yet that cloth won't get in the way during dances, especially fast ones (like with Quna's Endless Story).
Card-based bow works as a symbol and appreciation of free time of labor class. Earrings (which are hard to see, but that makes them not get in the way when you take look at general appearance) work as "the most expensive-looking thing in the house, so why not"; also they are colorful, so they fit with "pop" alignment of the concert.

I went for more of a casual look for this one since the theme is about a Quna concert (i doubt that somebody would dress up in a bridal dress or anything more elegant for a concert).
As for the accessories, i choose them because well... I like them. :3
The costume and accessories used are as follows
Heart Breaker Night
Rouge Piercings
Gothic Head Dress
Silver Panja

Here's Mine. Basically decided on Ursula Repca Steel because its more laid back than what Niare normally wears, but its not overtly outrageous. Its also free moving for the most part, which is nice to be wearing for a concert. It also compliment's Niare red and blue purple eyes well.
As for why she's in that pose, concerts aren't her thing. She's hanging back, waiting for it to start really. She's slightly introverted, hence why she's hanging back.

Character: Kayla
Outfit description: "Your co-worker says she has an extra ticket for tonight's Kuna concert; you've never been to an idol concert before, but you've been trying new things lately, so you accept the invitation.
Back at home, you wonder what you should wear tonight; that's when your mom's advice rings in your head: 'Nothing beats a little black dress for a night out.'
You dig through your closet and find the dress you wore to your cousin's wedding; it looks good, but you realize that your normal mess of curls doesn't suit it very well.
After nearly an hour struggling, you're able to get your hair into a nice updo with a cute side braid, but those two pesky tufts of hair just won't stay down; looking at the clock, you realize you don't really have the time to mess with them anymore.
You had intended to put in contacts for the night, but you don't have time to adjust to them and you still need to put on a bit of makeup to cover your freckles, so you just grab your glasses.
Running late, you grab your favorite pair of earrings, stuff the concert ticket into your purse, and head out.
When you get to the venue and see the assembled masses, a wave of embarrassment rolls over you as you realize you are incredibly overdressed for this concert.
You spend the rest of the night fidgeting awkwardly as your coworker teases you about your outfit."

So, Charlotte.
She has natural brown chestnut colored hair (with green subtle green color eyes) which I believe creates a good conjunction with the black color costumes, as in contrast to someone having black hair, their hair color would blend in with the costume, but because the black shirt, it makes Charlotte's brown hair stands out.
The reason I chose the 2014 ARKS Festa shirt in specific is because I wanted to do something rather simple and realistic, rather than being overly creative. If you think about it carefully, the ARKS Lobby's Shop Area theme right now for Episode 3 is more of a tropical-esque type area. The area is set in a town near a beach (You can see the coast out the big windows behind the stage) I don't think that wearing a coat in a beachside town like that would be super logical, so I believe something casual that doesn't have too long sleeves or so would be a better choice.
The accessories that Charlotte is wearing are the Active Cap B, which turns into the White Color because of the native special costume color which is white.
I believe that black and white together creates this sense of indecisiveness (neither fully black or white), showing Charlotte's reluctant nature of which I mentioned in the context how she really wants to see Quna but she is really shy. The hat balances black and white out specifically I believe because if we do a small look-through of the areas which are black and white, of course there are more black surface areas than white. Moreso than just supporting the coloration, the cap also fits the context of the location. You know, beach towns are hot so why not have a cap right?
The next is the Plaid Shirt C (I believe it is called that)
This creates a sense that supports what I've said earlier about black and white, though there may be around the same amount of black or white, it creates a feeling that Charlotte's costume isn't just as plain as it looks. In context however, the plaid shirt I wanted to put it there to represent how Charlotte is a person that prepares for the future, she doesn't know whether the "Shop Area" is cold or not since normally the beach city wouldn't be too cold. Just in the case that it is cold, she can always put on the plaid shirt because it acts like a jacket.
Next is the Loop Bracelet P.
Of course the typical Quna concert or rather just typical concerts you would want to have some form of glowsticks, whether it be a bracelet or actual glowsticks. It creates the meaning to show that Charlotte really wants to participate in Quna's concert and cheer for her. Because if she doesn't, she wouldn't have put on the bracelets in the first place either. The reason I choose the pink glow bracelets over every other color is because the fact that the "ARKS" Logo on the 2014 Festa shirt is a pink/magenta color, I felt like due to the screenshot not really emphasizing the part that people easily misses the bracelets could make up for it in a sense. However if I use other colors that are more vibrant than the bright pink (that looks close to white), it will create tones of other colors (green/blue) which doesn't fit into Charlotte's color scheme that I'm going for, which is Monochrome with a small taste of pink.
Then last (I'm not sure if you would notice) but the snowflake earrings.
Like I've said, I wanted to do bright colored accessories, in specific more towards the white stratum of colors in order to create an equilibrium between black and white thus balancing the colors and making Charlotte's hair and herself as a character stand out, since both black and white are colors that do not catch the normal human eye's attention. Personally, the reason that I've chosen the snowflake earring for Charlotte is because her character context. I personally always like to ask myself and tell myself that nothing is as it appears. What lies beneath the enchanting snowflakes floating gently from the sky down to Earth? Snowflakes to me isn't 'just that', to me it feels that it is the way that the sky expresses its emotions, just as how a teardrop is a manifestation of human emotion. So yeah, it means quite a lot to me since there's many things that happened to myself that involves a lot of laying down on the snow as a kid. I thought mentioning that for the choice of the accessory would be something that helps you guys understand my choice.

I couldn't help but doing a crazed fan eager for the Kuna concert. Thinking of all those teenage girls squealing their heads off and the crazy things they wear just to get noticed was my inspiration.
So in the theme of crazed fan......
