Taz The Menace

Taz The Menace is a nonbinary English vtuber that started streaming January 21st, 2022. They usually stream a variety of games on Twitch. They are also a Minecraft skin artist, making Minecraft skins for fun, as well as making custom skins for other people.

Profile
Taz has a short attention span, known for skipping tutorials of games, only to regret it moments later. However, they are also known to get fixated on games, insisting that they are a variety streamer, despite opening the same game they've streamed for weeks.

As robots are wont to do, Taz has a hard time expressing intense emotion, which causes them to get flustered easily when expressing gratitude towards subs.

Appearance
Taz has pink hair with bangs slightly parted in the middle, with blue pigtails. They are usually seen wearing headphones with pink horns, and round red semi-translucent glasses.

Being a robot, they are able to swap out any body parts for others, such as arms and legs. They prefer to keep a mix of robotic and human looking parts, so that they don't give an "uncanny valley" effect, like some robots do. They are also actually bald, and chose a pink and blue wig because "it looked fun".

History
Taz began their vtubing journey in October 2021 after seeing a friend's VRoid model. Thinking VRoid Studio was cool, they downloaded it to make some of their original characters in it, for fun. After spending 5 hours one day turning one of their OCs into a VRoid model, they felt like it would be a waste to not use it for streaming.

2022
Taz began streaming in January 2022, hitting affiliate in late March.

2023
Taz debuted their 2D model on July 12th, 2023. Their 2D debut celebrated their 21st birthday, as well as hitting 1k on Twitch.

Lore
Taz is originally from 50 years in the future, in which they and their siblings were designed to be mechanics. When not attending their day job, they are found DJ'ing at a nightclub called the Underworld Riot, or found seen street racing with their motorcycle.

Taz has an evil twin, temporarily called Virus Taz, but not much is known about them yet.
