Vox Akuma

Vox Akuma (ヴォックス・アクマ) is a male English Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI EN's fourth wave "Luxiem," alongside Luca Kaneshiro, Shu Yamino, Ike Eveland, and Mysta Rias.

Profile
A Demon from the past who held great power. Though confident in his superhuman abilities, he looks after those who are loyal to him.

Personality
Though Vox can be as mysterious and suave as his profile describes, he also has sillier side that likes making crass jokes and doing impressions of characters/people, one of which notably being Gordon Ramsey. He is flirtatious, notably with Mysta and Ike, and is always willing to give his audience a bit of fan service.

Vox is prone to fanboy over things like FNAF, monkeys, and is known for his hatred for the 2012 film, The Lorax. He seems to be quite a good cook, enjoying fancier, gourmet dishes. Despite how silly he often is, however, Vox can be wise and uses the knowledge he's accumulated over the years to give good life advice and support.
