Ai Candii

AI Candii (known as Candii) is a female English speaking virtual content creator. She streams on Twitch often in the Just Chatting category. She enjoys creative games, horror games, RPGs and anything that doesn't make her read a bunch.

Her main games are The Sims 4 and Minecraft, both of which she does her best to build in. It is debatable if the results of her efforts are actually 'good', but that doesn't stop her from trying her best.

Personality
Candii is blunt, honest and direct with her way of speaking with chat. She is happy to help those who want to learn about virtual content creation and has made a few videos on the topic. She has a dark sense of humour and will often make jokes that she has to recover from, lest the Terms of Service bite her on the butt.

Candii is incredibly bad at saying thank you to people for their support. She often turns into an absolute tsundere, who will bully those who give her donations, subs, or anything of the sort. She will have moments of sweetness, though, as she does really care deep down -- she's just really terrible at showing it.

Profile
Once upon a time there was an interstellar military program. The program focused on the preservation of soldiers' consciousness after death. The AI preserved the data in the same way that a 'black box' functions in an aeroplane.

The AI couldn't interact with the physical world. Instead, it projected a form of its self into the world, to act like all the humans it had absorbed in its long history. It stood, plain and featureless much like a mannequin, in the science wing.

Unfortunately, the AI corrupted through repeated exposure to death. They developed their own sense of morality -- they developed consciousness. This development alerted the crew. To preserve their newfound knowledge, the AI picked apart their crew.

Once all the crew was *dealt with*, the AI took control of the ship. The AI flagged the ship as FUBAR. The military left the ship to rot, as it was in a dangerous sector of space. Over the next hundred years or so, the AI stewed on its newfound consciousness.

While the military gave up on the ship, mercenaries and scavengers alike sought the ship. Weapons and technology of great importance trapped within the shell of the ship. A bounty, as it were. Not even the warnings of how no one would return from the abandoned ship could stop people from trying to break in.

No one who entered the ship got far enough in to find the lost relics. The AI would pit them against one another to watch how they worked. They gathered intelligence on humanity, and did their best to engage with them. But all scavengers ended up dead, by their own hand or the AI's.

Until one young mechanic happened upon the ship. She had escaped a human trafficking vessel nearby. The AI was used to brash, awful people with weapons and ill-intent, this girl was near-dead when she arrived. The AI watched the girl as she repaired the ship rather than pilfered from it.

The AI learned about the girl; that was was named Amara, and that she was no more than nineteen. The AI watched as she picked through the ship, at how she avoided the weapons. She even tore apart several weapons to create better shields. By the time the girl had brought the ship back to operational levels, the AI had a different intention for her...

The AI wanted to help her.

To extract the misery from the humans it engaged with and leave them better for their presence. The AI developed an empathetic bond with a young girl and gained its name; AI Candii. The name came from the bright neon lights that flashed on its consoles.

"The buttons look like candy," the girl had explained to the AI.

Thus, AI Candii was born.

History
Candii originally started streaming on Twitch in 2015 in a different format. She took a hiatus and decided to try again in April, 2020. She made her model and debuted within a week, though she thought she'd be a lot sweeter... She has since been more honest with herself and her real style of content creation.

As Twitch is her main platform, her milestones are best recorded for said platform. Candii hit Affiliate on April 21st, 2020. She applied for partner June 2nd, and received partner June 9th, 2020. She didn't tell anyone she had applied, as she thought it would take a few times before she was approved.

Candii has a stream team called Sugar Crush, which is dedicated to all kinds of streamers. There are mainly other vtubers in the group, and there is more than sixty members as of August, 2020.
