Who is Akage Megane?

Akage Megane is my original character and VTuber persona. She made her VTuber debut on April 8th, 2022, quietly replacing the ‘jank’ 3D Dakki model from late 2021. The creation of Akage Megane started when a friend of mine at the time was showing off his VTuber model made in VRoid Studio. Beforehand, I received advice from another friend of mine from another community about making an OC several months prior.

Development History

Making her in VRoid Studio pre-debut took about a day or two. Following her debut, the model underwent more changes to make it more than just a generic, effortless VRoid character. You see, VRoid Studio had a reputation for allowing people to effortlessly and lazily create generic characters, and I wanted to work on it more as I learned about VRoid Studio and how it works.

When Akage debuted, she had no name. While she was internally named “BaratusIIChan,” I felt like it wouldn’t go anywhere. So, while I had to come up with a proper name, I slapped on a generic one: “Redhead with Glasses.”

Her name was eventually settled on May 22, 2022, after experimenting with translators. For those who don’t know, Akage means “Redhead,” while Megane means “Glasses” in Japanese.

During the time between June 2022 and October 2023, her appearance underwent more changes. Her midriff-baring crop top became shinier, and she started wearing black tights with legwear instead of pants. Not only that, but her figure was touched up using both VRoid and Blender, allowing her to have a more “fit female” look, including a bigger bust and a curvier butt (since VRoid doesn’t have a butt parameter). The final touches to her core design were made on October 1st, 2023, when she got new lipstick.

Appearance

Akage Megane has red hair in a ponytail and has blue eyes. She wears glasses owing to impaired eyesight, which contributes to her geeky computer girl appearance.

She usually wears a black midriff-baring crop top with puffed sleeves, black tights, and black legwear. The crop top also incorporates the Nali sign, which she discovered while playing around with an Unreal Tech Demo from late 1995.

She would occasionally go without her ponytail (as shown in September 2023), and she would wear a variety of outfits, including red/blue crop tops and cowprint crop tops with panties.

Her condition is unclear, which is why she constantly appears to be flushed.

Akage Megane Lore & Personality

Akage Megane grew up on an unidentified planet where having LAN parties was a joyful tradition. She was able to connect to the internet and communicate with people on Earth as well as her home planet, though, when internet access became widespread.

Akage was so motivated to share her passion for old-school video games and computers with people all over the world in addition to uploading her picture sessions online.

Akage also enjoys making jokes about her breasts; in fact, she once changed an injoke to read, "give 5 money 4 booba," and she doesn't feel guilty about jiggling her breasts whenever she pleases. Because Akage loves the Unreal series so much, her crop top has the Nali symbol from the December 1995 tech demo on it.

Since technology was less developed on an unknown planet than it is on Earth, when she was a youngster, her computers used hardware from the 1990s. Her interest in vintage hardware has grown since then.

Though Akage is a die-hard metalhead and Mechina is her favorite band, she occasionally likes to listen to other genres as well, as long as they sound well.
