Merryweather

Merryweather is a male English-language VTuber based in Denmark who debuted in October of 2020. He heads up the Merryweather Comics creative circle, is independently produced and is in charge of the Merryweather Entertainment Industries Twitch Team.

Personality
Merry has a very relaxed vibe the majority of the time, but when he gets excited he barks like the dogboy he is. He hardly if ever swears and requests those on his chat refrain as well. He is easily scared by horror games such as Phasmogoria, but otherwise has a very relaxing aura even in collabs. This vibe has sometimes been known to descend into chaos on a few occasions; for instance, during games of Frost Punk where he pretends to be a "maniacal dictator of Wooftopia".

Appearance
Merry takes on a dogboy appearance, having almost chin-length black hair with a single red streak and short pointy ears, often being mistaken for cat ears. Merry's usual outfit consists of a brown pinstripe three-piece suit with a red tie, but on 19th of November in 2020 he debuted a new navy/black military outfit, which he uses for certain games.

On May of 2021, he gained another outfit: a black three-piece suit with an overcoat and top hat. It also includes a Cthulhu plushie, a walking stick, and a pop-up book that has Eldritch tentacles popping out of it.

His character designer Kirero has also produced art of him in a Yukata and a Maid outfit, which can be found in his gallery. This maid outfit would be made into a model of its own, complete with an axe, tea set, and Yu-Gi-Oh duel disk.

History
Merry debuted in early October of 2020, gathering over 12,000 followers on Twitch within his first two months of VTubing. Prior to debuting as a VTuber, he also had a fanbase on other platforms as an independent webcomic writer and producer.

On May 2021, Merry made a redebut, introducing a new outfit called the "Cthulhu Gothic Suit" and personality (adopting the name Lucius J. Merryweather), though still under the name of Merry. He stated that this look and personality would be used for his more horror-themes streams, including creepypasta storytime streams.

On 13 December 2021, Merry revealed the Live2D model for the maid outfit, designed by Kirero and rigged by 2wintails.

On 14 March, 2022, Merry introduced a fifth new model, designed by Emulapis and rigged again by 2wintails.

Relationships
Merry has a VTuber Wolf cousin named Lumi, who was actually the first VTuber to debut from the Merryweather Comics circle; she also occasionally hosted the Merryweather Comics Youtube channel announcements. The both of them are close, often collaborating with each other on games. They also stream to the same channel when live on Youtube, and share a channel for highlights. In an interview with Domo Arigathanks, he said that Lumi is his oldest friend, having met her in World of Warcraft over a decade ago and IRL for the first time in Japan.

The name "Merryweather Comics" is used to refer to the comic production circle/studio headed by Merry himself. While Merry is known for writing and producing regular comic content for Webtoon and his social media accounts, the art, lettering and editing are handled by various creative staff (artists, editors, VAs) in his circle.

Some of these staff members with a streaming presence are informally referred to as "Team Merry", and can often be found visiting each others' streams. A list of those who are also VTubers (aside from Merry and Lumi) are below:


 * Osiimi/KireinaPinkyFox (artist of Crawling Dreams)
 * Mayui/Yuureya (artist of Winter Moon)
 * Carillus (artist of Fox Girls Are Better)
 * Monomogi (artist of My Incubus Boyfriend)
 * Elizabeth von Mountbatten (VA for various Merryweather Comics JP Dubs)
 * Cazz/Raina (letterer, editor and manager of Merryweather Comics)
 * Sif Avellana (vtuber friend, not affiliated with the Merryweather Comics)

So far only Carillus has collaborated on stream with Merry, often resulting in a straight man-funny man dynamic between the two.

Other than the above, Merry is friends with Bunny_GIF, Noble, Nux, ProjektMelody, Wolfychu, FeFe, Ironmouse, and many more.
