/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

>>56530750
That’s a Moona retcon after one of the (likely) most hilarious misunderstandings in vtuber history.
The character sheet that was presented to Moona likely had a field like
>write a few lines about your origin story
alluding to the CHARACTER origin story, the so called “lore”.

Here is what she wrote down
> A college girl who works as a model and idol, but later got interested to become a VTuber too.
>Her face is expressionless by default, but secretly a coward
She likely thought she had to write HER OWN MEATSPACE STORY which is accurate.

Right now on the official site they at least made it proper English
>A college girl who works as a model and idol, but later got interested to become a VTuber too.
but that doesn’t change the fact Moona’s lore is just …. well, notMoona, a regular ass human girl

> Giving them a crumb of lore gives them a floaty
Moona turned *this* from her lore

because she grew it and made it stick.

kek, not the point.
My point is that lore is better developed by the streamer and the audience, not some retards in suits sitting in a conference table.

Moona lore went from

because she grew it.
Subaru went from a MMA coach to a fucking duck on the back of memes and her wits.
Haachama went from a tsundere 4 years old genius kindergardener (not kidding, that was her state age for a while) to a split character with either a twin sister, a split personality or a full blown otherwordly being manifesting from her will.

Locking a streamer to an elaborate lore is a handicap, not an advantage and (for instance) VShojo, AkioAir, VERSEn and a lot of other companies will soon learn that all the money spent on writing and animating complex lore is money thrown in the trash

>he's the one writing their lore
kek, they're fucked

>>26161274
>Trade Merryweather lore writing for Omegas lore writing
That's a tie, neither can write proper vtuber lore and for a simple reason
> vtuber lore is whatever the fuck sticks
See: Moona. Her written lore is pic related, the lore that stuck is her MV

Anon, nobody but the most retarded schizos care about lorefaggotry. There is no plot outside of what the voices of your heads say and the fact they even went beyond
>A university student who is also a model and idol. She became a VTuber as she was attracted by the virtual world. She seems to be calm and cool-headed, but scary things are not her cup of tea.
is a waste of characters.

The "lore" for Hololive characters is whatever they create impromptu, that's why Moona is a human imbued with the spirit of the moon Goddess, Korone is a boxing sadistic dog punching the face of anthropomorphic thumbs and Subaru is a duck

Here is Moona's lore. She unironically didn't realize the "character story" meant fictional so she wrote about her real meatspace self
