Seraph Dazzlegarden

Seraph Dazzlegarden (セラフ・ダズルガーデン) is a male Japanese Virtual YouTuber affiliated with NIJISANJI, debuting as part of the unit "VOLTACTION" (ヴォルタクション) alongside Fura Kanato, Watarai Hibari and Shikinagi Akira. Previously, he was enrolled as a student in VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) as part of its first generation as Misono Satoshi (美園聡).

Profile
Born into a family whose livelihood is being assassins, he has been trained to refine assassination techniques from an early age. There are a lot of mysteries about his identity as he has been using many names. Currently, he is working as a freelance agent after he quit being an assassin.

Personality
In general, Seraph is calm, level-headed, and likes to do things at his own pace. He has been described by others variably as gentle, cute, and being an easygoing and reliable "iiyo bot" (いいよbot, "that's fine" bot) - someone who doesn't like saying no to people. As VOLTACTION's youngest member however, he has also shown a bit of a childish streak and a more cheeky and mischievous side. He often teases, pranks, or lies to other people in collabs and even his own viewers, finding their suffering immensely entertaining. Conversely, he gets very flustered when he has to do fanservice or if he's genuinely being complimented.

However, there are some darker aspects of his personality that appear to have been warped by his past as an assassin. For example, he occasionally says shockingly violent or disturbing things entirely nonchalantly, often with the implication that he's either experienced or done said things, and thinks that certain horror antagonists and grotesque phenomena are cute and beautiful rather than terrifying. In fact, not only is he strangely unaffected by violence, gore, and jumpscares, his comments sometimes lead viewers to remark that Seraph scares them more than the horror games he enjoys playing.

While he is very well-read and book smart, his large vocabulary combined with his love of wordplay and tendency towards reflexive or "brain dead" commentary can lead to various bizarre or nonsensical phrases that sometimes even Seraph himself doesn't understand very well. However, he is quite eloquent and articulate when the situation calls for it, for example when discussing serious topics like mental health or when giving meaningful advice and expressing his gratitude to his viewers.

Appearance
Seraph has mid-length black hair that has been dyed a blond to pink gradient. This excludes a pair of characteristic red highlights evoking a horned owl's "horns", as well as the hair at the nape of his neck, which remains its natural color. His bangs partially obscure his left eye. His eyes are three different colors: dark blue in the upper third of his irises, red in the middle, and gold at the base. His ears are both extensively pierced.

In his default outfit, he wears a red overcoat with a white belt at the waist and black and white feather-like patterns on its lower half and sleeves. The sleeves are kimono-style, with his right sleeve kept tucked neatly by a white belt cinched just above his elbow. Accompanying his coat is a detached red hood emblazoned with a stylized black horned owl logo, which is kept fastened by a white muffler with black and blue geometric patterns; underneath these, he also wears a black neckwarmer. Beneath the coat, he wears a form-fitting black thermal top with sleeves that extend to the point of doubling as fingerless gloves. Over this, he wears a navy blue haori jacket. As he usually keeps his right arm out of the sleeve, half of the jacket hangs at his side. He wears a pair of white pants with black stripes down each side, tucked into a pair of white and navy blue boots with black, red, and blue patterning.

Overlaying his clothing are a multitude of belts around his waist and garterbelts around his thighs. They serve as hiding places for a sizeable arsenal of knives and weaponry, as well as to hold up a holster at his right thigh which contains yet another knife. Other hidden weapons on his person include his violin motif necklace, which contains a retractable needle; a needle holster strapped to his left forearm; three switchblades clipped to the inner edge of his haori jacket; and blades hidden in his rings.

As a variation on his default outfit, he also occasionally streams in "shigoto mode" (仕事モード, work mode). In this mode, his hood is pulled over his head, with his face cast in shadow. His eyes also brightly glow, narrowing into a glare as his default expression.

Background
On 4 November 2021, Seraph Dazzlegarden, then Misono Satoshi, made his first appearance on the VIRTUAL TALENT ACADEMY (VTA) channel as part of its first batch of students.

On 11 July 2022, ANYCOLOR announced that Seraph would debut directly into NIJISANJI as part of the unit "VOLTACTION", the second wave of Livers formed from VTA graduates. In preparation for his debut, he received a full rebranding and redesign, and all YouTube videos previously created during his time in VTA were hidden.

Seraph's YouTube channel was created on 2 July 2022, and his Twitter account was created in June 2022. His first tweet was made on 13 July 2022.

Debut
VOLTACTION started their activities on 13 July 2022 and had their first streams on 16 July 2022. Seraph was the last of the group to hold his first stream. Afterwards, all four members of VOLTACTION appeared on a special debut program on NIJISANJI channel, hosted by Hanabatake Chaika and Joe Rikiichi.

VOLTACTION's first original song, "INLAID" (インレイド), was released earlier on 13 July 2022. This song was written and produced by of STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION.

During his first stream, Seraph showcased his violin skill by playing "Jounetsu Tairiku" (情熱大陸), a very well-known Japanese violin composition by (Japanese composer and violinist), and "Giragira" (ギラギラ) by Teniwoha.

On 27 September, Seraph released his first vocal cover, of "Eien No Akuruhi" (永遠のあくる日) by Teniwoha.

On 26 October, he announced that he would be taking a brief break from streaming due to health reasons. Upon his return on 28 October, he revealed that he had undergone emergency surgery after developing.

2023
On 12 January, VOLTACTION announced that that all four members would receive their second 2D outfits, and would reveal them via a stream relay with 30 minutes allotted for each member. The relay was held in the same order as their debut streams with Seraph going last, holding his stream at midnight the following day.

On 13 January, Seraph debuted his second 2D outfit, which like the other members' is a school uniform consisting of a black tailcoat, a gray dress shirt and tie, and black slacks. Seraph's variation on the uniform includes a red hoodie underneath the tailcoat, the tie being tied into a bow, a tartan scarf with a scarf pin in the shape of his horned owl logo, a red and blue bracelet, black leather gloves, and a keyring and a pair of garterbelts with attached knives. The outfit also came with a new hairstyle, which is slightly shorter than his default style and has his bangs brushed to the left, revealing more of his forehead. The same day, VOLTACTION celebrated their half-anniversary since debut by releasing their second original song, "Watercolor". The song was written and produced by the band.

On 18 February, he appeared as the featured guest on an episode of seiyuus, , and 's variety show Asoburu.

On 1 April, Seraph, under what is heavily implied to be his past codename -Ares, made a series of lore-related cryptic messages alluding to his previous work as a contract killer. This built up towards a surprise unannounced cover of 's "BAD DREAM" (悪夢) performed in his -Ares persona, which was released on the same day.

On 9 April, Seraph reached 200,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, which he celebrated by having his first ever singing stream.

On 26 April, VOLTACTION announced a 3D model debut stream relay, with Seraph being the third person to have his 3D model debut on 19 May. His 3D debut stream peaked at over 73,000 concurrent viewers, with the associated Twitter hashtag (#セラフ3D) reaching #1 trending in Japan.

 * Mimizuku-san was designed by Seraph's character designer Bodax, originally appearing in an unofficial congratulatory fanart for him reaching 100,000 subscribers. It eventually made its first official appearance in his 3D debut.
 * Mimizuku-san is noted to be similar to Seraph in appearance, with plumage in the same shade of pink as his hair, and "horns" that resemble his characteristic red highlights. While its eyes are often closed as it is often depicted asleep, when open its eyes are black, empty, and fixed in a wide-eyed blank stare, leading Seraph to jokingly wonder if it can see the future.

Identity

 * Color: #DC3C41
 * Background: Former assassin who was born into a family of assassins.
 * Occupation: Freelance agent at Shikinagi Akira's agency, Room 4S.

Character and Lore

 * The members of VOLTACTION were originally close friends who attended the same boarding school, all of whom come from criminal or otherwise morally ambiguous backgrounds.
 * While he should have been a school year below the other VOLTACTION members due to being younger, he falsified his age when enrolling. As a result of this, he ended up in the same class as the other three.
 * After honing their respective skills in the criminal underworld, Fura Kanato gathered them together due to a shared desire to use these skills to instead bring happiness to people. To do so, they meet at a hidden base called the Laundry (ランドリー), and carry out missions in secret. After learning about NIJISANJI and how the company's talents entertain people, all four members decided to join and start streaming in addition to their activities as VOLTACTION.
 * While he is a former assassin, he was not one by choice; rather, he had been forced into it from a young age as part of the family business. He had been working as an assassin up until fairly recently, presumably forming Room 4S with Shikinagi Akira and joining VOLTACTION after quitting under as of yet unclear circumstances.
 * He has described the period in which he actively worked as an assassin as being a time when he was quite mentally unwell.
 * Some methods by which Seraph has either alluded to or outright been shown to have assassinated people with:
 * Slitting throats.
 * Freezing someone to death by locking them in a freezer.
 * Forging a license to impersonate a medical professional and slowly administering poison mixed in with medication over a period of time. Though "not exactly" in the same way as he described.
 * Strangulation.
 * Using a pen.
 * His assassin family apparently made him do many things and learn multiple different skills for the sake of the job, which serves as a lore-friendly explanation for the things he has been shown and described to be proficient in.
 * His weapons of choice both as an assassin and currently as part of Room 4S and VOLTACTION were and are knives. Despite not using them as often as he used to, he still keeps many knives hidden on his person as he feels uneasy without them.
 * Even after leaving his previous profession he still switches between many different false names and identities depending on the purpose (one of which is "Seraph Dazzlegarden" itself), and has both Japanese and foreign identities.

Room 4S

 * Room 4S is a freelance agency founded by Seraph and Shikinagi Akira; it is also a front for VOLTACTION's activities in conjunction with Fura Kanato's CAFE Zeffiro. Akira is the agency's contractor, while Seraph is the primary field agent. Though this does technically mean that Akira is Seraph's boss, Seraph refuses to acknowledge this.
 * 4S stands for Secure, Smart, Speedy, and Secret, representing the four things that they promise to provide to their clients.
 * The mission requests that the agency accepts are quite varied, including finding lost pets, private detective work, bodyguard work, stolen object or missing person retrieval, neutralizing assassins, among other things.
 * In order to protect clients' privacy, the primary way clients can contact the agency is by first ordering a small espresso with four sugar cubes at CAFE Zeffiro. As orders and requests are relayed through Kanato and Watarai Hibari, it can be determined if the request warrants involving VOLTACTION as a whole; requests that are simpler or don't require as much intelligence gathering are handled by Room 4S alone.
 * As the agency's motto is to "undertake any request", he is chronically overworked in-universe. As such, he often uses "being busy with missions" as an excuse to explain streaming absences or delays.
 * When shown in 3D, the Room 4S office appears to be a one-room space with a work desk and computers, a large sofa and coffee table, bookshelves, and a full kitchen.
 * Prior to forming Room 4S, he and Akira knew each other even before they were admitted to the school where they met the other members of VOLTACTION, as they had been partnered together for a mission while working in their former professions. However, they did not meet face-to-face until becoming classmates.

-Ares

 * On 1 April 2023, Seraph was apparently replaced by an enigmatic figure codenamed "-Ares". Rather than simply being an April Fool's Day alter ego, it is heavily implied that -Ares and Seraph are the same person, with -Ares inferred to be his past self from when he was actively working as an assassin.
 * From 00:00 to 11:55 JST, Seraph as -Ares left a series of cryptic messages in real time detailing his inner monologue during and after a mission in which he undertook a contract to assassinate thirteen targets alone; towards the end, he seems to argue with an unknown entity. The scenario appears to have been presented as Seraph having a nightmare in the form of a flashback.
 * At 12:00 JST, he uploaded a surprise cover of 's "BAD DREAM" (悪夢) featuring -Ares, some of the lyrics of which were referenced in the narrative's final back and forth. The video's description contains corrupted text (繧ゅ≧雖後□), which when restored translates to "mou iya da" (もう嫌だ, I don't want to do this anymore).
 * After waking up and returning to his usual self at 12:11 JST, he showed no sign of having any recollection of what had occurred - only vaguely mentioning that he felt like he had a strange dream. This even extended to the cover he uploaded, with him not mentioning or announcing it on any platform.
 * Despite not outwardly acknowledging -Ares' existence, he has since liked fanart of himself in the -Ares persona on Twitter, and has conspicuously skipped over reading superchats mentioning it or his cover of "BAD DREAM".

Name

 * "Seraph Dazzlegarden" is not his "real" name but rather just one of his many false names and identities; his "real" name is currently unknown.
 * His given name, Seraph, refers to six-winged angels found in religious texts, usually and traditionally associated with music.
 * In-universe, it may have been derived from his previous codename spelled backwards. "Ares" backwards is "Sera", while the preceding "-" that it is stylized with can be interpreted as being a minus or negative sign - with "minus" or "negative" in Japanese being 負 (fu). Thus, "-Ares" backwards can be read as "Serafu", which is the Japanese pronunciation of "Seraph".
 * His surname, Dazzlegarden, is an indirect English calque of Misono (美園), the previous surname he used during his time in VTA.
 * Dazzle comes from 美 (mi), meaning beauty, a close synonym for the word "dazzle" or "dazzling."
 * Garden comes from 園 (sono), meaning garden.
 * His previous given name, 聡 (satoshi), means intelligent, smart.

Miscellaneous

 * Seraph is a classically trained violinist who has been playing since he was 5 years old, and prior to becoming a Liver was actively performing and touring as part of string ensembles and orchestras.
 * He was inspired to learn violin after being captivated by a concert by Japanese violinists and ; others have told him that he was also influenced by the protagonist of, which he can't remember given his age at the time.
 * He has played concerts internationally, for example in Europe. Unfortunately, his last concert tour there was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic while he was in Germany, just before he was scheduled to travel to Austria to play in Vienna.
 * He has won at least one major violin competition.
 * He owns two violins: an electric violin (played in his debut stream), and an Italian-made acoustic violin (played in his 3D debut stream).
 * He brought a violin to an audition for NIJISANJI, but never actually got to play it since he ran out of time.
 * During a NIJISANJI 5th anniversary program, he performed covers of "Virtual to Live" with a pair of violins in a segment where the guests had to guess which one was more expensive. The cheaper violin was one he had built himself.
 * He has never used a violin to assassinate anyone before, reasoning that they're hollow and would shatter if he tried to kill someone with one. However, he finds violin cases to be particularly useful for hiding things. Definitely not weapons.
 * In addition to violin, he can play viola and piano, the former of which he is also proficient enough at to have played in concert as part of an orchestra.
 * He has practiced jissen karate (karate specifically intended for actual combat) since he was 5 years old, starting it around the same time as playing the violin. Thanks to his family's line of work, he has also had military-level training. He showed off these skills via an action sequence in his 3D debut.
 * He played basketball for around 6-7 years, and was a starting player on his high school team. He could play any position - usually small forward, power forward, or center - and specialized in three point shooting.
 * Other hobbies he has been involved in include painting, calligraphy, swimming, rugby, and track and field - specifically long-distance running and high jump.
 * Due to his various other obligations including music and sports, he actually had very little prior experience playing video games before becoming a Liver. He only started to play games more often after debuting with NIJISANJI.
 * He was an excellent student in school, with his favorite subjects being math, science, physics, and English.
 * He scored the highest overall out of the VOLTACTION members on the comprehensive exam they did for their half-anniversary stream despite not studying; true to form, this included a perfect 100/100 in math, a near-perfect 98/100 in science, and the highest in the group in English.
 * He has had streams dedicated to solving math problems, and has tried to teach about quadratic functions to Watarai Hibari. Key word being tried.
 * He likes to cook and is proficient at it in general, but especially so when it comes to making sweets and desserts. This has even lead to the official VOLTACTION Twitter account referring to him as a patissier.
 * He can make from scratch, including  as well as  and its components,  and.
 * He prefers to make his own Valentine's Day chocolates, even giving some to Hibari prior to their debut. For Valentine's Day in 2023, he held a baking stream in which he made orangettes and gâteau opéra-inspired chocolates decorated with gold leaf. He ended up giving them to the other members of VOLTACTION, who remarked that they were quite delicious.
 * He tends to eat a lot and is not a picky eater. For example, during a VOLTACTION off-collab, he ate almost double the number of plates of soba compared to the other members. Despite this, he is the type of person who does not gain weight no matter how much he eats, and in fact has trouble keeping weight on.
 * He has been given a separate batsu game in off-collabs because none of the usual physical punishments affect him at all.
 * Due to having had electric currents run through him frequently since he was a child (presumably as part of his training as an assassin), he is entirely unaffected by electric shock-based batsus even on the highest setting.
 * He can also handle extremely spicy foods (including scorpion pepper hot sauce) and bitter drinks with no issue whatsoever.
 * His pain tolerance is abnormally high:
 * He has described the pain associated with being stabbed in non-vital areas as stinging a bit but nothing he can't easily handle, and the sensation of being electrocuted as being akin to a soft, feather-light touch.
 * He has played through a basketball game with a fractured right wrist, sprinted with a sprained ankle, and played the entirety of 's (normally a 45-50 minute long piece) on violin with a dislocated finger.
 * He has, or athletic bradycardia.
 * Despite being very strongly identified with horned owls, he states that if he were an animal, he would probably be a lizard.
 * If he could pick one superpower to have, it would be the ability to flash step like Yamamoto Genryūsai Shigekuni does in.
