Alpha Aniki

THIS PAGE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION PLEASE BE PATIENT

Alpha Aniki a.k.a. Alphonse Mackenzie, is a augmented futuristic drummer and aspiring Rockstar. He lives in Tokyo in 2123 and streams into the past on twitch thanks to the slime from his companion, Klawed. Klawed is a tiny and adorable pink, grey and blue Snailien who lives off glizzies and communicates via telepathy with Alpha, through TTS, and with noises that sound suspiciously like Animal Crossing characters. Klawed is an S-rank wingman and is a beloved character on tiktok (much to Alpha's salty chagrin). Visually, Alpha has black hair with pink lowlights, a beauty mark, an eye scar, a cybernetic eye and arm, and multiple tattoos. In Alpha's words, he is "the best big brother you never had". This moniker is less about dispensing wisdom and being overprotective than it is about having fun, causing shenanigans, and playing video games.

Alpha may or may not be voiced and piloted by acclaimed voice actor Jonah Scott, but he prefers to keep the two identities their own separate thing. Alpha says that Jonah is his upstairs neighbour (sometimes landlord depending on the day) and he stole his twitch channel from him.

Personality
Alpha appreciates all things classic rock; Route 66, vinyl records, hair metal, prog rock, and lots of analog (for him) recorded music. Despite his insistence on this hard rocker exterior with a tough, confident, flirtatious persona, Alpha is as sweet as fancy 2123 future space candy. He reads the chat scroll at a near inhuman speed, and makes all newcomers to the stream feel welcomed and engaged with. When Alpha has a guest on, or is a guest on another stream, he always makes his guests feel welcome and keeps conversation flowing effortlessly. Despite streaming sometimes having to take a back seat to real life or other outside projects, he never misses a collaboration, and brings high energy and infectious laughter to every stream he participates in.

Background
Not much is known for certain about Alpha's history, family, or why he has the cybernetics (arm & eye). Rather than a more traditional Vtuber launch with a mini lore video or comic, Alpha opted to launch with a teaser video and a debut stream. More lore will be released in the very near future, as a 100 page graphic novel is currently in the works, with official Kickstarter pre-orders set to start in 2023. Example pages have been shown on stream, and small mini comics by Viera B. have been released as sub goals have been achieved. Alpha is also accepting donations via his Streamlabs to help offset some of the novel costs, given the scale of the art and work planned is very extensive.

The music that has been currently released-Neon Fire (and the two planned songs) is set after the events of the graphic novel, although there are no specific plot points revealed in the songs that will spoil the contents of the novel. Concept art and some earlier sketches show Alpha in various stages, with the cybernetic arm remaining constant, as he has had it since age 13; although the circumstances surrounding how he lost the arm in the first place have yet to be released.

Mascot
Klawed Mackenzie, a.k.a. Klawed is Alpha's best friend and near constant companion. He is a "snailien", and differs from traditional earth snails in both his level of intellect and where his eyeballs are located. Klaweds eyes are on the front of his face above tiny blush marks (adorable) while typical terrestrial snails have theirs on top of stalks (gross, but pragmatic). As mentioned before, he communicates telepathically with Alpha, via a TTS function, and a communicator that sounds almost identical to various Animal Crossing characters. Despite Alpha's insistence at his youth, Klawed is over 100 years old. Klawed hangs out on Alpha's shoulder and is also animated in tandem with Alpha, as the two will squint, look the same direction or at each other, and move their mouths at the same time-though Klaweds motions are much more subtle. He also puts away glizzies (hot dogs) at a nearly breakneck pace when Alpha isn't paying attention.

Klawed has streamed solo when Alpha has had to attend band practice, with chat keeping an eye on him while he games. While he isn't allowed to play too many adult games, chat tends to look the other way (but don't tell Alpha).

After consuming too many Glizzies, Klawed will divide into another snailien. Whether this is a clone or a copy seems to change week to week. These other Klawed's will go visit other streamer friends of Alphas or make unexpected appearances online. Klawed is a good Snailien but does seem to find himself in mischief from time to time, like the time he visted DayumDahila on her stream and wrecked shop, or when Alpha guested on her stream with Klawed in tow only to have him break the entire hotel room, and then run freely around the streets of Tokyo.

In addition to streaming with Alpha, he currently hangs out with TruckChan on her shoulder, promoting Alpha's song Neon Fire on a tiny banner.

Musical Career
Alpha makes no secret of his goal to be "The Worlds Greatest Rockstar", and he plays and practices with his band Midnight Howl to make that happen. Currently he is the bands drummer, vocalist, and best dressed member. He has a near encyclopedic knowledge of rock music from 1970-1980 and that influence can be found in the bands singles (but the sound is all their own).

Other members of the band are Fleas (bassist), Clapton (Vocalist and Guitars), and Jimi (Lead Guitar). The information for each of them is taken from the images provided during the band announcements on Twitter, but has been typed out for readability here.

Rockstar Graphic Novel
An Alpha comic is currently in the works! Stop by the stream and/or the Discord for more info and updates on when it releases! Also, check out the artists behind the comic on Twitter, JM_Bad and Viera.

Currently Alpha is in the early stages of fundraising, moving to an official Kickstarter in the next few months. Ongoing donations are being collected via his streamlabs, the link of which can be found on his Twitch "About" page.

There are spots inside the graphic novel for visual advertisements (in city shots or otherwise) that will have other Vtubers drawn in, so far lots of Alpha's stream friends are involved with this plan, with plans to add more as the art comes together.
