Carillus

Carillus is a Creative Director associated with Merryweather Media, and an English-speaking VStreamer.

He is best known for directing and producing content for other VTubers, and also as a writer. He co-wrote and storyboarded Kson's lore/reveal video at Anime Expo 2022, and has designed various pieces of merchandise for VShojo and other indie VTubers.

While mostly known for production and direction work, he occasionally streams on Twitch. His stream content primarily consists of live drawing, with the occasional game stream.

Personality
Carillus goes about life with a mainly mellow vibe as he works on art pieces. He is not one to get into fights, preferring to be courteous and avoid conflicts with others, be they close friends or newcomers. He can become hyperfocused when working on an art piece during stream, but will still try to make time to converse with those around him if he feels the need to. While usually calm, he tends to end up being the butt of jokes among mutuals and will emote there and then. However, he can take a good jab on the chin and usually goes with the flow.

Appearance
Cari's current attire resembles that of a pilot's uniform, with a simple white button-down shirt and dark shoulder lapels, paired with dark trousers and shoes. He also wears a dark tie with a bulky clip over the knot containing an embossed plane logo, and sunglasses. His eyes are amber, and his hair has a orange-yellow coloration to it, with a single teal lock down the front. The pilot design was only made after his viewers commented on his voice resembling that of a pilot's.

His original (non-pilot) appearance was designed as a palette swap of his former doujin circle's mascot, and was "a throwaway design made for a friend (Caturteer) to practice Live2D rigging on". The original attire included a black collared shirt, a cerulean vest, navy blue pants and a semi-loose red tie. He also wore a red choker cloth and tall earrings.

A "scuffed" model was drawn and rigged by chroneco in early 2021. It consists of a plane with a face and a "wig" that sports Cari's color scheme. The plane also had "landing gears" in the form of stickmen-style feet.
