Noir Vesper

Noir Vesper ( JP: ノワール・ヴェスパー) is a male English Virtual YouTuber endorsed by Hololive's branch HOLOSTARS English. He is a member of "HoloTEMPUS" alongside Regis Altare, Axel Syrios and Magni Dezmond.

Profile
Adventurer’s Guild TEMPUS’s academic advisor. He also holds the posts of custodian and arch-scholar at the Grand Library. Logical and rational at all times, he doesn’t lift a finger unless completely convinced by something. He has an aversion to sunlight due to spending too long cooped up, absorbed in his research. “It’s his childish nature that allows him to speak so freely about his dreams.He might even actually let everyone around him dream.”

Personality
Vesper is an honest man who likes passionately talking about any interesting subject by exposing his own feelings. During his debut, he shared his quaint joys in life by relaying the period of time when he had the most of fun at work, when he was in charge of peeling the film off of a lot of electronic equipment. Vesper can be over-emotional to the point he starts to uncontrollably laugh, and do so easily. Despite his model looking serious with a perpetual frown, his real personality is uncharacteristically goofy in comparison. He's very close with his three genmates, often talking his praises about them.

Vesper often is disconnected from modern culture (via memes, computer parts, video games, etc.) which makes him look like a "boomer" by his audience. In that sense, Vesper often brings out culture references in conversations that could be considered outdated. He started using the internet and computers in general in the Windows 3.1 era, and likes to pass on old knowledge from that time period to his younger fans.

Vesper's main content that he enjoys doing are "zatsudan," or "just chatting" streams. He also likes to play more niche, older games that he personally enjoys. He plans on holding more streams about the things he enjoys, like deconstructing old computers and tea tasting.

Vesper aims to fill in late night time-slots not often used by other streamers, such as 10 AM & 10 PM PST time. He would like to stream at 3-4 AM, if circumstances allow.
