about

Hibiki has one of the same old stories that many have heard when it comes to awakening as a Dreamer... being that her figment—along with numerous other figments—was attacked by a Nightmare. This happened when Hibiki was 13... but it's actually not when Hibiki awoke as a Dreamer. Instead, her Figment was saved by Kanade Amou, otherwise known as Dreamer Gungnir. This event left a deep and lasting impression on Hibiki... one that would stick with her for the rest of her life.

Hibiki would spend the next two years admiring Dreamer Gungnir, to the point that she was essentially a groupie due to Kanade Amou being an active idol. In fact, it's because of this that Hibiki is a huge idol fan. Still, in the end, Hibiki's figment ended up being victim to yet another Nightmare attack... and this time, she didn't have anybody around to save her. It was at this moment that Hibiki awakened as Dreamer Gungnir! Curiously taking on the same name as her role-model.

After awakening as a Dreamer, word of another Dreamer Gungnir would eventually cause Hibiki and Kanade to meet properly... resulting in Kanade taking Hibiki under her wing for the next two years. Eventually, though, Kanade would suggest to Hibiki that she learn how to properly spread her wings on her own... thus resulting in Hibiki reluctantly deciding to transfer to Yumemigaoka's Promised Morning Academy.

"Reluctantly" being because, well... Hibiki has a girlfriend in her childhood friend, Miku Kohinata... who is not a Dreamer and is unable to go with Hibiki because of her parents. As a result, while Hibiki is very effective as a Dreamer, her grades are notoriously bad and she is in a perpetual state of missing her wife. Still, as a result of being trained by an experienced Dreamer herself, Hibiki's already strong enough to be considered experienced.

Hibiki isn't very different from her canon self. She's cheerful, empathetic, selfless to a fault, and sensitive despite her attempts to hide it. There's nothing she enjoys more than helping others... which might be attributed to a number of reasons. Behind Hibiki's cheerful attitude are a number of darker experiences that shaped her just as much as everything else. Frequently being bullied as a child, her father leaving with no explanation and never coming back, and the fact that while the 13-year-old Hibiki came out of the Nightmare attack relatively unscathed, others were not as lucky... leaving Hibiki with a bit of a guilt complex.

With Kanade as her role model, however, she began helping others... and found a form of salvation in that act. Even if it isn't perfect, that bright and pleasant feeling in her chest whenever she helps others became her motivation... both in and out of the Dreamsphere.

Unfortunately, her bad habit of hiding her negative feelings can frequently backfire, either due to Hibiki being unfocused as a result, or simply causing problems due to the importance of emotions to a Dreamer. This habit is a result of Hibiki's damaged self-worth due to her guilt-complex, and if bottled up for too long, can result in Hibiki unexpectedly lashing out at others... something that usually leaves Hibiki deeply ashamed soon after.

Still, while Hibiki prefers to hide the darkness of her own heart from others, it doesn't necessarily make her outward cheeriness a lie. Hibiki is a voracious eater, struggles at paying attention or understanding anything complex, will never shut up about her girlfriend if she starts talking about her, and has an extreme soft spot for younger kids. Her use of honorifics are based on her "feeling" of a person rather than age or anything else, she is incredibly gung-ho about idols, and enjoys karaoke as her favorite go-to hobby despite being unconfident about her own singing voice. She's open about anything that isn't her weight, dislikes confrontations, and should never be trusted alone in the kitchen unless you're fine with a disastrous mess.

All of these things are genuine traits when it comes to Hibiki. Essentially, she's a girl of high highs and low lows, so while she can always be trusted to be a kind, exciting, and warming presence in your life... she can crash hard, and the signs tend to be very well hidden.

TL:DR for those who are canon-familiar: Hibiki was saved from a nightmare attack by Kanade, became a Dreamer at 15, and has been a Dreamer for two years. Also Kanade is alive in this AU as her mentor... hint hint nudge nudge I'm looking at you Kanade players—

dreamer ablities

Danger Detection (D-Rank) Hibiki has stronger battle instincts while transformed, bordering on precognition in the sense that Hibiki is made aware of incoming danger right before it happens, but not exactly what that danger is. Think along the lines of Spider-Sense, as it's essentially just an early warning for incoming dangers. Usually only activates in regards to Hibiki herself, but can also activate if someone important to her is in danger as well. This allows Hibiki to react sooner than others, even if she wasn't aware of the danger in the first place.

Earth Manipulation (D-Rank) Hibiki is capable of manipulating the landscape around her, provided that it's "earthen" in nature, to a limited extent. Hibiki can extract boulders from the ground and hurl them as projectiles, cause spikes to form in the earth with a stomp, or gather rocks and stones around her fists to increase her power. Can only control a limited amount at a time, and isn't capable of any intricate details or control.

Phonic Gain (D-Rank) While Hibiki is singing, her physical abilities and stats are improved beyond the normal capabilities of a Dreamer. Disruption of Hibiki's ability to sing will result in the ability weakening. Lyrics come to Hibiki's mind as the "song of her heart", allowing her to sing intuitively and focus on other things. Music and backup vocals are mysteriously provided, and the ability gets stronger if others harmonize and sing with her.

D-Rank Upgrade: The boost in power gained from singing has increased, and now extends to anyone who harmonizes and sings with her, albeit to a slightly lesser effect. Additionally, while Hibiki is singing (and only while she’s singing), her gauntlets gain the ability to change shape to either have more powerful boosters, or to have a drill around Hibiki’s fist.

Hibiki Style: Dream Spear Gungnir (Signature Ability) Hibiki puts her hands together, combining her gauntlets into a single larger gauntlet on one hand. Hibiki rockets forward, propelled by the gauntlet itself, taking the shortest route to the enemy (straight ahead) and delivering an explosive punch to pierce straight through.

relationships

Kanade Amou (Backstory NPC)

Hibiki's mentor, with whom she shares the name "Dreamer Gungnir" with. A famous idol who is currently overseas while Hibiki attends Promised Morning Academy. Saved Hibiki's figment when she was 13 and has been Hibiki's role-model ever since. Acts like a big sister to Hibiki, and looks almost like a mother bird taking care of a baby chick whenever she and Hibiki are together.

Miku Kohinata (Backstory NPC)

Hibiki's childhood friend-turned-girlfriend. While she is not a Dreamer, she has always been at Hibiki's side as a comforting presence. Hibiki's "Sunshine" if you will. While Hibiki has moved to Yumemigaoka to improve herself as a Dreamer, Miku was unable to go with her due to not being a Dreamer herself, and Yumemigaoka being too far away for her parents to allow her to go. ~~Maybe if she can become a Dreamer, though...~~

About

Hibiki is outgoing, friendly, and perhaps overwhelmingly optimistic. She treats everyone with kindness, even those that used to be enemies. She doesn't want to fight unless she necessarily has to and wouldn't want to have pointless battles when she believes the problem could be talked about calmly first. Otherwise, she gladly dons her Symphogear in order to help people who are in danger that otherwise can't be used by ordinary means. At other times, she is sensitive about certain topics - her father and her past, especially the past being two of them. She also has a softer side, frequently hides her feelings about specific things and rarely shows herself being sad to anyone whenever it's a problem related to herself, even her friends, but can also be touched and easily cry if hearing sad stories. In this regard, she forces herself to keep a smile for others. The only person that can normally tell she's putting on a facade is Miku. This can hinder Hibiki when in battle, as she allows her emotions to get the better of her. She can also make a bad habit of running away from her problems and bouts of self-doubt.

Zwei Wing Tragedy & Fallout (Backstory):

2 years prior to the start of Symphogear's main story, the specially classified disaster known as the Noise emerged in the middle of a public performance by Zwei Wing. Combining the numbers of spectators and staff, there were over 100,000 people present at the concert hall. The number of deceased or missing totaled 12,874, a terrible disaster. However despite the fact this occurred on such an unparalleled scale, the tragedy does not end there but continued on.

Of the 12,874 that died approximately 1/3 of them was due to the Noise. The others died as either the result of being crushed by the crowds attempting to flee, or by intense fighting that broke out between attendees trying to secure their escape. This information was published in weekly magazines and quickly set the stage for public opinion. Since the majority of deaths became attributed to other people, the survivors began to experience public bashing. Victims and bereaved families of the deceased also received reparation from the national treasury, and thus the public opinion turned into a harsh debate about one's self-responsibility. Although what had been published and announced in the press was accurate information, a lot of it had been modified to agitate people's emotions, glorifying certain aspects of the story. Using "righteousness" as their guide, many people took to the internet and began to spread their own opinion on the story.

It eventually broiled to the point where even those that were uninvolved or uninterested in the event had begun talking about it passionately, as it distracted them from other problems. Thoughtless slander was thrown around, supported by the majority as having "sound reasoning," not because they had deduced this themselves but rather "because everyone else was saying so." At this point the true nature of the tragedy was lost and had turned into something akin to a witch hunt from the middle ages, fueled by some warped sense of "justice." The goodness of people and their ability to become emotionally attached had been twisted and changed into a drive to hunt down the survivors of the tragedy simply for the reason that "because they survived." Of course at this point there was a faction of individuals who held the opposite opinion, but the majority had already made up their minds and the wave of madness swallowed up any opposition.

Hibiki Tachibana's environment was greatly affected by this. One victim of the tragedy was a boy who attended the same middle school as Hibiki. He was the captain of the soccer team and had a very bright future ahead of himself as a student. Why he had died and Hibiki, who had no redeeming features worth mentioning, had lived was something used to torment her. It all started with a single student, a young girl who had been a fan of the boy, who lashed out at Hibiki yelling in hysterics. It wasn't long before it had consumed the entire school. But that was far from the extent of it.

The daughter of the president of a company that Hibiki's father did business with was also among the list of the deceased. At first her father was incredibly overjoyed that Hibiki had survived the ordeal, but it wasn't long before the news spread around and he found that his contract with the company had been rejected and was removed from the project. Having lost his sense of pride and unable to figure out how to cope with the situation, her father turned to alcohol which eventually led to him yelling and raising his hand against others within the household. Originally her father had married into her mother's family, taking on her name, but one day on his way to work he intentionally went missing, abandoning the family altogether and never returned to the house again.

Be it at school or at home, Hibiki took on an immense amount of unreasonable torment and harassment. The young girl who puts all her efforts into helping others, is also a girl with a past that had been trampled on by those same people.

The darkness in people's hearts, born of a mutual misunderstanding. Having been exposed to this darkness more than most, Hibiki is still somehow capable of believing in others. Surely this is because she knows that in the space between 2 people, there exists sunlight.

nationality Japanese

first impressions Hibiki has orange eyes with short light brown hair fastened with two red clips on either side of her head. She is most often seen wearing the uniform of Lydian Music Academy.

She is incredibly out-going and at times airheaded. Cheerful and open, Hibiki is typically considered as an approachable person, though for some such blinding outgoingness can be intimidating. Due to the "naive" nature of her ideologies and beliefs, many typically tend to assume that Hibiki has lived a life free from any hardships. Normally, this would have even been the case, but the truth is far different than that. Still, she keeps a smile on her face in hopes that others don't find out about this.

features Along with the popular joke about Hibiki's butt being her "charm point", she's a fairly normal-looking girl by all means, though her appearance is deceptive, as she is far more physically powerful than she looks at first glance. What tends to be notable when her chest is exposed is the scar on her chest shaped like the "Forte" symbol, which in music dynamics, means a louder, stronger note. The shape is also reminiscent of the holes in a violin.

Along with various growing muscles, Hibiki's body is also privy to a number of smaller, less noticeable scars from her missions as a Symphogear Wielder. This includes a faint scar along the width of her arm just below her shoulder, where her arm had been bitten off during her battle with the Nephilim, and subsequently regenerated after entering her berserk state. It is mysteriously unable to be seen, however, when her gear is equipped. (Note, this section is based on personal headcanons, as scars outside of the one on her chest are not seen icly).

Powers

SG-r03’ Gungnir Symphogear

Wielding the Gungnir Relic in the form of a pendant, Hibiki is able to transform and don a weapon and armor known as a Symphogear. Gungnir's model number is SG-r03, however Hibiki's is designated SG-r03', with the ' used to differentiate it due to the fact that it is actually the second Symphogear created using the Gungnir Relic, with the first one being completely destroyed. While other Wielders who have used Gungnir have all utilized the large spear as their weapon and Armed Gear, Hibiki instead uses gauntlets on her fists, though she does occasionally utilize the spear, though simply as an extension of her the gauntlet on her fist.

The reason for Hibiki's more Martial Arts-focused method of fighting, rather than the typical usage of Gungnir, is due to her wish of bringing people together and holding hands. Thus, while she battles using her fists, her true Armed Gear is in actuality an open hand. Hence she holds no weapons, so that her hands can open and reach for others.

As a result, the energy that is usually used to form the Armed Gear is instead used to directly alter her fists and feet, allowing her to remain empty-handed. This eventually proves to be a benefit rather than a hindrance, as her strong will to avoid fighting and connect with other people allows her to join hands with others since she has no weapon to hold in her hands.

In order to activate and transform into the Symphogear, the user must sing a song that harmonizes with the Relic Shard within the pendant. It is also known as the "Holy Words", and in Hibiki's case, she sings "Balwisyall nescell Gungnir tron" to activate her gear, and therefore transform.

Created in order to combat the mysterious entities known as "Noise", the Symphogear is powered by an energy known as Phonic Gain, which is generated via the power of singing. Able to respond to the synthetic vibration resonance created by the fighting spirit of the user, the Symphogear's greatest trait is its internal functionality to play a certain melody. By synchronizing that melody with the user through song, the Symphogear displays an incredibly high rate of battle potential.

The Symphogear itself plays the instrumentals and backing track of the song, and the lyrics naturally come to the wearers mind, and are based off their thoughts and feelings. When multiple users are in Unison, it can be assumed that the gears syncing up allows for the seamless duets and group songs.

On top of possessing incredible power, the Symphogear is able to provide considerable defense for the user. Along with various energy fields that defend the user from the carbonizing effect of the Noise they were made to combat, there are a large number of various other energy fields that protect the user by absorbing damage. It is not an absolute defense, but it results in Symphogear Wielders being incredibly durable.

climax song

Though the name varies by translation (Superb Song officially, Swan Song by Fan Translations, Climax Song by Crunchyroll), the Swan Song is the Symphogear System's ultimate trump card, as well as a double-edged sword. While the Climax Song allows for a massive increase in Phonic Gain, as well as an explosive increase in power and the Symphogear's most powerful attack, the gear itself is usually not enough to reduce the backfire and load on the human body. If a user's compatibility with the Symphogear is low, or there is disharmony between the Symphogear and the user, the damage increases and could potentially be fatal. An example of this being the death of Kanade Amou, the original user of Gungnir, who turned to dust after using her Climax Song.

In the case of high compatibility, the power will increase and the damage done via the backlash can be reduced, but negating all of the damage is near-impossible. Hibiki Tachibana is a hard exception to this, as her being purged of the Curse of Balal, and her near-death experience in almost fusing with the Gungnir fragments in her chest, her compatibility is absurdly high, and she is able to use her Climax Song much more freely, and can even absorb the energy from the Climax Songs of other Symphogear users into her own body and take on the entire burden by herself for powerful attacks. Put simply, Hibiki can safely use her Climax Song, however she will still experience some form of backlash that will usually exhaust her.

The song that is sung for Hibiki's Climax Song is as follows:

Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal
(When the melody of cessation)

Emustolronzen Finé el balal zizzl
(Transforms into a reverberation)

Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal
(The curtains close on the song of the valkyries)

Emustolronzen Finé el zizzl
(And disappears as we depart from here)

god-killer

In Senki Zesshou Symphogear AXZ, it is revealed that Gungnir is in actuality a Philosophical Weapon from 2000 years of being associated with the death of divinity as the spear used by Saint Longinus to check if the Son of God had died, granting it the ability to kill gods and divine entities. Put simply, all of Hibiki's attacks possess a special property that gives her an innate advantage against anything that is conceptually considered as "divine", and can damage gods and prevent them from healing as well.

amalgam

A form-change unlocked for the Symphogears rebuilt by the Philosopher's Stone during the final battle of Symphogear AXZ. Amalgam is the fusion of the Symphogear System and Faust Robes, an armament similar to the Symphogears. Upon activation, it instantly releases the energy that composes the Symphogear and reforms it into a golden "Coccoon", a first stage that gives the user a far more powerful barrier field than normal, albeit consuming far more energy. Next, the energy is reformed into a high-output armed gear, reorganizing into an "Imago" that serves as a second stage.

The coccoon state has little in the way of offensive capabilities, but a near-unbreakable defense. The Imago form, however, sacrifices defensive capabilities in order to greatly increase attack power. In this state, Hibiki forms two large golden fists connected to her shoulders which she controls with her own arms. They are able to detatch and fly independantly, as well as spin rapidly to become a drill.

x-drive

The evolved true form of the Symphogear, typically achieved via the use of a miracle. This form is concealed within the Symphogear relics under 301,655,722 locks, and can only be unlocked under an absurdly high generation of Phonic Gain. The X-Drive appears to only last for one use before the user's Symphogear reverts to their normal form at whatever level they had last naturally unlocked it at.

When the X-Drive is active, the Symphogear gains a predominantly-white color scheme and enhanced design, universally including the addition of angelic wings formed of colored light. In this state, all Symphogears, regardless of their normal abilities, are capable of unassisted flight both in the Earth's atmosphere and in space, and all of the user's normal abilities drastically increase in power.

In addition, there is also the Burning X-Drive, the ultimate and as far as we've seen, strongest level of power that the Symphogear System has achieved.
