Profile
"Even if I wanted to remember, what happened to my home is a memory I'd rather stay locked away."

Kyoshi Akazora is known as an exile of Lunacrusa, the land of dragons and his birthplace. Born as a half-dragon and half-angel, he was unwelcomed and a lot of other dragons did not accept him as one of their own, calling him a "Corrupted Child". He's featureless: No horns, wings, nor tail. And it's because of this that the dragonkind of Lunacrusa tried to end his life at a young age, but he managed to escape at the cost of his father's life. The trauma of which has caused him to lose most of his memories.

With the help of a piece of the lunar crystal and the help of a certain star, his dragon blood has grown stronger and he now has his wings.

Personality
Kyoshi is a wildcard, but his enjoyment mostly comes out of his chat's reactions to games he's playing. Known by his audience for being a gummy-loving Tsundere, he hates compliments and is easily flustered, frequently telling people to refrain from calling him cute or a "softboi", Although his chat doesn't listen and ends up teasing him more, to his dismay. He loves communicating with his chat regardless, which ends up in him getting distracted at times.

A self-proclaimed horror specialist, he rarely gets scared whenever he plays horror games, and sometimes even enjoys the thrill of being chased.

During the early days of his career he was seen as laidback and quiet, but as he became more comfortable with streaming he has gotten loud and chaotic. As part of his redebut for Chromia Project, he trained with his management team to return to a more relaxed demeanor in order to foster a more welcoming and "less-threatening" vibe to his streams.
