If you'd like to spend money on me, please spend it on yourself instead and let me know what you get!

I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to make money here, due to how the model originated and the assets it uses.
I'm also financially comfortable and know there are other small creators who could use the donation much more than me!

I'm Maku! I'm just testing the waters with streaming for now. It's scary but I think it could be a fun long term hobby!

If you want to get in contact with me (which is kind of sus, but okay), send me a whisper without sounding like a bot. If it's anything complicated, I'll reach out on Discord; my username isn't a secret, but I also don't want to advertise it.

## About the model

My model originated as a VRChat avatar, and was later reworked as a VTuber model.
Their nickname is "Charl" (not a typo), but you can use "Maku" to refer to me, as that's the human person's username.

## Base

My model originated as a VRChat avatar using the Kikyo base.

## Initial rigging

The VRChat model was set up by a friend of mine, who doesn't wish to be credited.

## VTuber conversion

Conversion of the VRChat avatar to a VTuber model was all done by me, Maku!
I never want to think about "BlendShapes" again.

# Overlays

Overlays and some stream assets, such as the "Credits" image here, were made by Akeno Arata! https://vgen.co/akenoarata

The most important thing is that you follow Twitch global rules. I'm pretty relaxed on rules, but please be a good person.

However, please no spoilers!
In addition, if I have the NoBackseating tag on, no backseating! Even if:

* The game told me something and I've forgotten
* I've missed an important part of the game mechanics
* I'm not playing the game as intended

If I ask a question explicitly to "Chat", you can answer it.

I know it can be painful holding hints in as a viewer, but I like to learn things myself. If I end up suffering because of it, I encourage you to ceaselessly point out this section of my rules to me so as to prolong my suffering.

Haha nope. At least not for a while. I have been streaming most days recently though.

We don't have channel points and we never will because I hate forced ads, so I'm putting "redeems" behind channel commands instead.

* !tshirt sets my outfit to my overfit T-shirt, the default one
* !sweatshirt sets my outfit to my sweatshirt
* !blouse sets my outfit to my blouse
* !tanktop sets my outfit to my tank top
* !gloves toggles my fishnet gloves on or off

This part of VTubing has always interested me, so here's an overview of how things are running!

## Streaming setup

I'm streaming via OBS from my Linux machine. That's also where I usually run my games, which is why you might notice scuff such as titlebars. Feel free to point out issues like that; worst case scenario I can't fix it, best case scenario you've helped me improve the viewing experience for everyone.

I also have a Windows machine on my network streaming a variety of things to my main PC. This includes Warudo, which receives tracking data from an iPhone running iFacialMocap, then streams the output to my Linux machine via NDI, where it's picked up by OBS.

## Model setup

I use a combination of Blender and Unity for adjustments to my model.
