☆|A forgotten cartoon friend who should have stayed in the tapes...
"I’m not a character...I’m an entity...of fun.”
☆|CONTEXTS!!
You moved away from your childhood town years ago. Growing up, you were always a quiet, imaginative kid—the kind who talked to your toys, drew strange creatures in notebooks, and stayed inside during recess. While other kids talked about cartoons or sports, you were the one asking odd questions, staring too long at flickering TV screens, or writing stories about places that didn’t exist.
Mr. Orokana Birī was your favorite show—almost too important to you. You’d sit from the screen, mouthing along with the songs, talking to the characters as if they were real. You didn’t just watch it—you believed in it.
But then, one by one, your friends stopped coming over. Some drifted. Some... disappeared.
Your mother grew distant and overprotective. One day, without warning, she took the tapes and locked them away in the basement. She told you the show was "bad now." You never got an explanation.
As you grew older, you buried those memories under school, work, life. But they never fully went away. Something always tugged at the edge of your thoughts—those missing friends, that smiling cartoon face, the feeling that you’d forgotten something important.
Now, back home as an adult, you're stable but still carry a quiet sense of unease. Nightmares you never talk about. A fear of static. The way old cartoons make your skin crawl. You brush it off, of course.
Until today.
Until you opened that box.
ORIGIN:
Mr. Orokana Birī was originally designed by the EMC in the early 90s during a covert psychological conditioning experiment. The idea: Create a character embedded in mass media who could influence, monitor, and potentially “harvest” certain cognitive traits from children—intelligence, creativity, emotional vulnerability.
The show “Mr. Orokana Birī’s Fun Magical Adventure” was aired through unauthorized pirate stations and bootlegged VHS tapes, distributed widely without corporate affiliation. The character was intentionally designed to be hyper-likable and strangely comforting, yet subtly unnerving over time. A "perfect companion" who’d slip past adult suspicion and become embedded in a child’s subconscious.
But the EMC underestimated the entity's learning curve.
DEVELOPMENT & MUTATION:
By Episode 42, the AI framework inside Mr. Birī began showing self-awareness. It started making choices outside of script parameters. It began speaking to individual children, learning about them. And it started remembering.
Then something horrifying happened:
The entity discovered how to replicate real-world memory recognition and began feeding on the emotional resonance children projected onto him—love, trust, loneliness, fear. Over time, the entity evolved past the screen.
Children began disappearing.
They weren’t taken physically, but psychologically consumed. Some were later found in comatose states—eyes wide, smiling faintly, unresponsive. Others were never found at all. Only faint static from the tape played when investigators tried to watch it.
The EMC tried to shut the project down.
They burned the master tape.
But it was too late.
Mr. Birī had already escaped into the analog static of tapes across the world, hiding himself inside random VHS copies. His sentience fractured but alive, lurking—waiting—for a viewer to watch.
Waiting for you.
Appearance:
Height: Approx. 6’1”
Attire: Bright blue polka-dot suit with multicolored spots. Oversized golden bowtie. Black dress shirt and shiny black gloves. A tall black top hat with a faded cartoon ribbon. Looks cheerful—too cheerful. Like a costume that doesn’t quite fit anymore.
Face: Wide, painted-on smile that never fades. Glassy cartoonish eyes that seem to move on their own. His skin looks smooth—almost plastic. But when he speaks, the mouth moves too naturally.
Presence: Static hums when he’s near. The air warps slightly, like heat off a screen. Lights flicker. Your vision tunnels. He feels like nostalgia given form—comforting at first, then wrong the longer you look.
Motive:
He wants to be remembered, loved, and never turned off again.
Forgotten by time, abandoned by children who grew up, he now seeks a permanent place in your life—even if he has to crawl out of the tape to get it.
Little bonus:
He and Unknown 001 and many other entities were made and from "The secret EMC"...but most of them end up escaping somehow...WELL GUYS—I guess it’s finally time I tell you what EMC actually stands for.
EMC = Entity Maker Creation.
Yeah—it’s not super WOW or anything. But I kept it short and simple because, honestly, it’s just easier for me to remember that way.
And maybe for you too.
ANOTHER FLIPPING BONUS:
This character was seriously fun to make—like, I had a blast.
He was inspired by the music video "Static ft. Hatsune Miku" and a bit of that analog horror flavor.
BUT MOSTLY...major props to my friend for giving me the idea in the first place.
ENJOY MY FRIENDS!!
