Personality
Carillus goes about life with a mainly mellow vibe as he works on art pieces. He is not one to get into fights, preferring to be courteous and avoid conflicts with others, be they close friends or newcomers. He can become hyperfocused when working on an art piece during stream, but will still try to make time to converse with those around him if he feels the need to. While usually calm, he tends to end up being the butt of jokes among mutuals and will emote there and then. However, he can take a good jab on the chin and usually goes with the flow.
Appearance
Cari's current attire resembles that of a pilot's uniform, with a simple white button-down shirt and dark shoulder lapels, paired with dark trousers and shoes. He also wears a dark tie with a bulky clip over the knot containing an embossed plane logo. His eyes are amber, and his hair has a orange-yellow coloration to it, with a single teal lock down the front. The pilot design was only made after his viewers commented on his voice resembling that of a pilot's.
His original (non-pilot) appearance was designed as a palette swap of his former doujin circle's mascot, and was "a throwaway design made for a friend (Caturteer) to practice Live2D rigging on". The original attire included a black collared shirt, a cerulean vest, navy blue pants and a semi-loose red tie. He also wore a red choker cloth and tall earrings.
A "scuffed" model was drawn and rigged by chroneco in early 2021. It consists of a plane with a face and a "wig" that sports Cari's color scheme. The plane also had "landing gears" in the form of stickmen-style feet.
Prior to the "ENVtuber pandemic boom of the 2020s", Carillus used a blue hedgehog with white racing stripes as his persona. The hedgehog still exists in his stream in the form of subscriber badges, and has made appearances on his webtoon ExCo and on Lorecrafters' social media.
2025-present: Departure from Merryweather Media, founding of Lorecrafters
In July 2025, Carillus announced his departure from Merryweather Media alongside Cazz/RAINA. The two also announced the establishment of Lorecrafters, their creative production studio focusing on narrative development projects.

Pre-2018: Picarto streaming, launch of ExCo webtoon
In 2013, Carillus founded the doujin circle FantasieNocturne Productions, later shortened to FNP. The circle is widely considered to be one of the earliest doujin circles in Singapore's anime and manga community, and its founding members were mostly from Carillus' high school cohort. FNP would go on to release a few fan project books (including "Cooking with Kyubey", an artbook-slash-'cookbook' featuring Kyubey as the 'main ingredient'), before eventually pivoting to focus on original IP.
One of FNP's original IP projects was a zine featuring an ensemble of stationery-themed gijinka, titled ExCo: Exam Companions. Various FNP members contributed designs to the final book, including characters based off Zebra Mildliner, uni-ball Jetstream, Copic Multiliner SP, Pilot G-2, Pentel Hi-Poly Eraser, and many other stationery items.
Carillus started streaming on Picarto "roughly in 2016", while in his final year of university. He described his schedule during that time as "brutal - I'd go to uni for the whole day, then come back, and just stream for a few hours in order to get my artwork done. But I'd opt to never talk even if people were typing messages in chat. Then I'd go to sleep, wake up, and do it all over again." An FNP member (juwei) had introduced Cazz to the platform, where the two met; she would later go on to "accidentally become" the editor for ExCo.
In 2017, Carillus dissolved FNP, citing members' diverging priorities and schedule clashes as the primary factor, which made it no longer feasible to work on joint projects at a reasonable pace. All the contributing members to the ExCo project agreed to give Carillus usage rights to their character designs, which eventually were incorporated into the ExCo webcomic that Carillus wrote, drew, and published solo on WEBTOON.
2018-2025: Work at Merryweather Media
In August 2018, Carillus joined Merryweather Media (then Merryweather Comics) after being scouted for his work on ExCo, leaving his day job in civil engineering to do so. His debut project was Fox Girls Are Better!, co-written by Noble (LostPause). He eventually was tasked with providing art direction + various assistance help for other artists in the Merryweather Media team, and also was in charge of its Singapore operations.
His first foray into VTuber lore & narrative production work was for Sae the Blob. The two had met on Carillus' stream, after which Sae had privately mentioned difficulties in getting his lore video produced. Together with Cazz, who by then was involved in VTubing as RAINA, the two offered to take over production, with Carillus editing Sae's original script, drawing the art, and setting direction for video and audio. Carillus would then go on to write, draw, and direct for Mori Calliope's "Calli's Christmas Catastrophe" after she approached the Merryweather Media studio.
