Background character concepts for Teh Stream. Since y'know, there's gonna have to be people to populate the chatroom eventually! They aren't based on any real individual person. Each are basically generalized "tropes" of the different types of people we've met over the years. They lean more towards "annoying" or "negative" traits, but this is mainly because recently I've had more fun designing not-so-perfect, if not downright nasty characters.

The Tomboy:
You know her- That one girl who claims to be a Tomboy based on her attire and hobbies. However, she still behaves rather "girly"... Giggling and Tee-Heeing all the time, batting her eyelashes and being cute to the point where it feels painfully forced. She usually ends up surrounded with male friends, but doesn't mind having other chicks as friends either. When in the presence of a well-known online figure, she makes sure to loudly announce just how unimpressed she is. After all, she isn't just some other "follower", she's way too cool for that!

The Role-Player:
She's the one who is impossible to get a simple "hello" from. Her arrival to a chatroom demands a melancholic atmosphere so that she may remind everyone just how tragically alone she is. She *heavily sighs* shortly after *sitting alone in the corner*. This usually attracts the attention of any young, single men who also populate the chatroom. Though no matter how many of these gentlemen *sit longingly beside her*, she will continue to push the idea that she is indeed *all alone*. The only thing to satisfy her empty heart would be to get lots of free artwork of herself/her OC- The more popular the artist, the better.

The Gossiper:
That girl who seems so familiar... Haven't I seen her username somewhere before? But anyway, this girl is a lot less interested in creating or appreciating artwork than she is in the artists themselves. She'll befriend anyone within a circle of friends and fans. Good art, mediocre art, it doesn't matter to her- She just wants to know everyone's story and all the other information she can get. A comment here, a question there and soon enough she'll have all the dirt she needs to get some juicy and interesting conversations going. She's also very keen on the conversations of others, just in case she accidentally missed out on something.

The Soldier:
He's that guy who only ever seems interested in guns, war vehicles, and his own tactical know-how. This guy's life revolves around the military- His username, his icon, all of his artistic creations- And no matter what the topic of a chatroom, he'll find a way to relate it back to the military. It's not exactly clear just how he stumbles upon such an unrelated individual, but once he takes a liking to an artist he will white-knight them til his dying breath. He upholds an intimidating demeanor and almost always threatens "haters and trolls" with physical or technological violence.

The Rival:
This guy latches himself onto a popular artist and shortly after that, proclaims himself to be their "rival". His only real goal after that is to gain more views, fans, and popularity than the artist he desperately clings to. He basically uses that artist as a crutch, tagging their username into all his creations, and in the most extreme cases, makes videos about the artist. At this point, the line between worship and hatred becomes hazy- The videos almost always end up focusing on the popular artist brutally attacking the upcoming rival, whether physically or verbally. The reason being a self-indulgent plot, where the popular artist is fearful and envious of the rival becoming a bigger star than they are.
