Shosan Rose

Shosan Rose was an English Virtual content creator who is primarily known for his humor, laid back streams, unique character design, his Chills (formerly Top15s) impersonations and his Podcast. He often collaborates with other VTubers within the English VTuber community, whether it's appearing on their streams or bringing them on his stream to play games or chat on his Podcast. As of June 18th 2021, Shosan has ceased his activities as a vtuber, but continues to stream, just not with the vtuber avatar.

Personality
Shosan is cheerful, friendly, and upbeat while maintaining a level of realistic energy so as no to go over the top. His belief is live, laugh, love, indicating that he loves to bring a smile to people's face and believes in kindness first. He also has a unique sense of humor, often citing various quotes in an attitude that implies banter and joking.

Rose is generally a down to earth person, not afraid to be honest and express his thoughts, as he believes honesty is important while maintaining a sense of delicacy. Along with this, he's often willing to stop what he's doing to help others.

Rose has been shown to more openly play the catboy role such as doing "Nya Nya", "Ara Ara Nya" and having a neko spin on some words such as when he says "Nyo" instead of "No". Despite having some neko mannerisms, he balances his actual personality along with it to create the Rose we know of. He's often been described as "Cute" and "Wholesome", often getting flustered and bashful with positive comments, love and support.

On one of his podcast episodes, he shrinked his avatar, which everyone dubbed "Baby Rose". Rose has supported this concept and developed it alongside his friends as 'Mischievous smol boi and thief of Capri Suns.'

VCast
On August 8th, 2020, Rose started a podcast on Twitch titled "VCast", coined as an off topic conversational podcast running on Saturdays at 6PM CT. Unlike most podcasts, VCast doesn't have a predetermined time limit. The standard run time for each episode is between 60 and 180 minutes. Although the format differs from most podcasts, that hasn't stopped Rose from creating a set containing various props to the cast's interests, mics, drinks and chairs, giving the vibe of an actual set. Despite having forward facing mics, VCast has a man with a boom mic in the background, whom they've named "Jason". Rose often jokes that Jason is the fan favorite of VCast, due to personality traits the cast will describe him with, despite being a stock image off of google. The current rotational cast of VCast includes @ShosanRose, @JackTW20, @OneTrueMitchYT, @_Sweaty_, @BlankBlankAmaya and @TheWolfHacker. Rose recently put out a casting call to recruit more members for VCast, although it is unknown who has been added to the roster. On top of this they will occasionally bring on guests.

Lore
Shosan is a Catboy residing in the Cyberpunk city of Serenity. The city is filled with Mega corporations, corrupt government officials and morally corrupt law enforcement. Rose often ventures out with his hood on, and toggles his jacket lights off as to not be recognized, as he often has run-ins with law enforcement due to his sabotage of corporate data and manipulation of stocks belonging to corporations doing the most damage to the city and environment. He runs an underground rebellion movement labelled the "Cyber Squad" against the mega corps and corrupt government. The activities of this group are unknown other than engaging in cyber warfare against corporations and government locations and officials, doing damage in the while remaining in the dark. While doing this in numbers is easy, resources do not come cheap. Rose has been known to meet with a friend outside his movement who sources him materials and supplies, although it is unknown how they're obtained, in exchange for decryption keys and valuable data from the numerous corporations and government. Because of this, he is described as an "Anti-Hero".

During his downtime, he streams from one of his many hideouts to Twitch, where he can relax and interact with people from all over the world, relaxing and just playing games and making friends despite being involved in shady activities, whether for good or not. The location for the set of VCast is unknown.

Catchphrases

 * As a Catboy, he carries some of the same mannerisms of conventional Catgirls/Catboys, namely saying "nya" or working in a nya-type spin on some words.

 * Despite looking cute and innocent, he has cited "This Rose has thorns", implying that he has thick skin and won't usually let insults get to him.

Trivia

 * Rose named his first PC "The Gate Keeper." It is unknown why, other than it's a beefy PC with generous specs.


 * Rose in real life, has been a halo fan for years, and was once a part of amateur halo leagues.


 * While at first a joke, Shosan has noted that whenever someone goes "pspspspsp", he has an urge to report to them to see what they want, just as a cat would.


 * Shosan has a love for many games, but prefers FPS games like Halo, Apex and Overwatch.


 * Shosan's design was lightly inspired by Tron, Cortana, and RWBY.
