Initial thought is he may have messed the UG up with just a liiiittle bit of Taboo in order to become the Composer so he had a lot to recreate/rewrite/fix up/whatever and may have made it harder for the HP to access Shibuya’s UG when he was done. It’s fine. I’m sure They found it interesting and learned a lot about it afterwards. I don’t have any major plans for a Composer Sho AU but hey if Hanekoma is looking to break (out of) the Higher Plane, this might be the Composer to do it, provided Sho can be a passable Composer for his UG duties in the meantime. Maybe over time grows to enjoy and excel at it too. I feel like he could toe the line between messing with the HP but not enough for the HP to get rid of him, since he’s had to put up with Officer duties before, Sho knows how to balance that out. Sho would also be fascinated with the HP and might even “work with” Them more than Composers normally would and that could a point in his favour for having the HP risk keeping him around. (What is normal anyways.) Sho probably wouldn’t call Hanekoma “Feathers”, but what if similar to Megs for Megumi, he takes the “Hane” of “Hanekoma” which can mean “feather” and uses that as a nickname? I like the nickname but I can’t think of anyone but Sho would use that. Maybe Composer!Beat, if spun in positively? The orange gradient is to make him similar to the HP colour scheme I use, since I feel like he would interested in Them. He leans towards orange/yellows, while the HP is orange/red. Other options are deep blue/purple (but somehow different from Neku) or… black… which isn’t really an option. I guess I could make his colour subdued to show he’s not really great as a Composer in the UG sense? I dunno. Might still mess with his gradient.
