Buffpup

Buffpup is an English-speaking American VTuber/VStreamer and Twitch partner who has been streaming since 2018 and officially debuted on May 1st, 2021. They are commonly known as a 'Weird Dog on the Internet'. Members of the community are known as members of the Buffpup Gym.

Personality
Buffpup could be described as one of the most kind and loving streamers on Twitch. They have an amazing community, built around taking care of one and other! What really stands out is just how much love and effort they put into streaming every weekday and how grateful they are to the kind and amazingly supportive community that they have cultivated.

Along with being very fitness oriented and advocating home-workout, Buffpup is also very passionate about enjoying good food. They often watch street-food related videos for an hour, multiple times a week.

Overall, Buffpup is very silly and entertaining, always making their audience laugh and is very easy to get along with.

Buffpup
Buffpup appears exactly as their name suggests, a Buff-Pup. Buffpup's face is an oval shape with two small, pointy ears on top. Their eyes appear like black voids often filled with stars which represent their hope for what the future holds. Their species is a Pomeranian dog, as evidenced by their Neck fluff and curled tail. Their face is strongly based off Roald from the Animal Crossing series.

Their torso is an upside-down triangle with massive bulging arms and chest. Buffpup is commonly criticized for 'skipping leg-day' as unlike the rest of their body, their legs are very skinny, making for a comedic and intriguing appearance. Their posterior is also known for being 'dummy thick' and excessively 'cakey'.

Human
The human model retains Pomeranian ears, tail, and classic red and gold collar, along with new features. The human model can be described as having burger themed shirt and shoes, modern sporty pants and star shaped eyes. Connected to the collar is a long, red leash. The new model was made entirely by themselves. Additional paw-shaped sleeves can be put on, looking like large, fluffy paw-gloves.

Nerd
BuffpupNerd is an alternative version of Buffpup where instead of being muscular, they are small and wearing clothes, representing a nerd in a loving way. The most notable aspect of this form is the large, circular classes on their face. This representation is used mostly for comedic value and to represent 'big brain' game-play moments.

Puddz
Puddz is a beloved character of the Buffpup Gym, known as the helper and caretaker. Puddz's job is to do small tasks and take over when Buffpup isn't around. Puddz's design is the way it is because he was Buffpup's first facerig that didn't turn out as it was intended to. So he is now kept as a memorabilia of self improvement and inspiration to keep getting better.

History
Buffpup began streaming on the 22nd of June, 2018. Originally they appeared on stream in person before deciding to switch to a 2D rigged character due to being harassed.

As a variety streamer, Buffpup has played an admirably large variety of games along with a fair amount of Just Chatting. They also stream digital art, often commissions such as twitch emotes. As long as the community enjoys the game, Buffpup may continue the game intermittently until the game is complete and a satisfying conclusion is obtained.

If a community member is generous enough buy a TreatStream where the participant buys a meal of the streamer's options to get delivered to their home, Buffpup will have a 'TreatTime' where they watch entertaining food videos with the community.

Lore
It was any average day, Buffpup was ordering food like usual, when the delivery person, an alien, dropped off the delicious burger. Not questioning it, Buffpup consumed the delicious burger without thought. Rage ensued the pup as they discovered the burger had a disgusting pickle inside. Suddenly Human-Buffpup was transformed into a full-fledged dog. Realizing they wouldn't be able to survive in the cold hard world, they cleverly decided to become a streamer. 'Everyone loved a dog streamer anyway!' they thought. This is the story of how Buffpup came to be.

Debut
Buffpup debuted their Human-model on May 1st, 2021. The stream featured many new sounds and animations, including not just the human-model but also a completely new regular model in the same style as regular Buffpup.

Loyal as ever, the Buffpup community turned up over an hour early on the day of the debut, hanging out in the chat before stream. Amongst the loyal viewers were Buffpup's close friends and streamer close-acquaintances.

April Fools Debut
On the 1st of April, 2021 aka 'National Burrito Day' and April Fools Day, Buffpup completed their first official debut. Despite streaming since 2018, long before the recent rise in VTubers, the prospect of debuting wasn't as typical as it has since become. Buffpup's long awaited debut featured an almost 5 hour stream of showing off the new model, known as 'Buffpup 2.0' and continuing the quest to complete 'The Long Drive'. The new and improved VTuber model features a smaller design, intended to give off; as Buffpup puts it "gremlin energy', along with being much more animated and bouncy.

An example of the new model, sometimes known as "Jelly pup" or "Boneless Pup" can be found here.

After hearing that, Buffpup changed their twitter name to it and once the decision to start streaming was made, miraculously the name 'BuffPup' wasn't taken, so they took it.
 * Buffpup suffers from Eosinophilic Esophagitis a condition involving the shrinking of the esophagus due to inflammation of the surrounding tissue.
