Here are the words for our next character:

Simp
Asshole

Using these three words as a prompt, come up with a backstory fitting for a Killing Game character. What are they like? Where are they from? What kind of things do they do? What experiences have they had?

If you do not wish to contribute a full backstory you can just give pieces and we can collectively build up the character together.

The Kindest Weapon
Dangerously conservative YouTube conspiracy theorist who knows a lot of about math and physics, but really sucks at applying them. He follows and simps "Gamer Girls," but is incredibly rude to them and their fanbase. He has definitely purchased used bathwater and brews coffee with it.

-Has a small-time gaming channel where he streams games like Mighty League
-Simps gamer girls and amateur voice actresses with more subscribers than him
-The kind of guy who talks in memes and twitch emotes IRL ("oof", "monkaS", etc)
-Gets incredibly defensive if anyone calls out his behavior, and will quickly turn on one of his "queens" who doesn't return his affection
-Will go from "All women are queens" to "IF SHE BREATHES, SHE'S A THOT" faster than you can say "can't we just be friends?"

He wasn't always like this. He used to be a chill guy and dated a cosplayer named LovelyLychee, but he's never been the same since she left him for a guy with a higher ELO. He's been trying to recapture that perfect adorkable relationship ever since, but his desperation yields no results.

Vote Nerd for this character:

This character started making videos while still in middle school. He enjoyed watching several streamers and popular content creators and found himself looking up to them. After graduating high school he decided to make a living off of streaming, primarily the popular free to play MOBA, Mighty League. He found some success and was able to move out into his own apartment for a while. Thanks to the long time he spent on the platform many slang terms from it have made their way into his daily vocabulary.

He met another cosplayer and streamer through the platform named LovelyLychee. He caught her attention with frequent gifts and viewership of her streams. The two eventually hit it off and started dating. Their long distance relationship was always a bit rocky and ended when he found that she had started seeing another guy on the side, somebody who was a better Mighty League player than him that had more subscribers. He challenged his rival to a publicly streamed game where he lost badly.

Even after being publicly shamed, he just couldn't leave behind his streaming career. He continues playing the same games but his audience usually only shows up to make fun of him with heckles and constant reminders of dumb mistakes he has made in the past. He is quick to get defensive and that's exactly what the trolls are looking for.

He has rapidly taken a political turn with the videos he posts on his channel. He thinks of himself as an expert in math and physics but just applies it completely wrong, resulting in some wild conspiracy theories. He follows several gamer girls and donates almost all of his meager income to them. He harasses their fans in the chat, claiming to be the real attendant of their queen. He's quick to swap back from that attitude to one of "all women are thots". Despite hating LovelyLychee, he has a jar of her special merchandise on order.

Vote Uguu! for this character:

This character always enjoyed video games and nerd culture while growing up. In high school she joined the gaming club where she found herself to be the only girl. She was treated very well among her peers there. Some of her fellow members encouraged her to get into cosplay. She started up a channel online to post her cosplay photos and went viral overnight as LovelyLychee.

She enjoyed great success streaming game play of the popular free to play MOBA, Mighty League, and cosplaying as the female characters from it. She was making thousands of dollars several days a week. One of the most frequent donators was another popular streamer. He asked her if she would be interested in talking privately and she accepted, thinking this was a great chance to butter up a big audience member for some more cash. Through some strange twist of fate they ended up dating. She asked him to keep things a secret because a public relationship would end her career and he agreed.

Just a few months later though she met somebody who she was actually interested in. He shared the same hobby as all of her other patrons but was actually physically attractive and good at Mighty League. They started talking more and eventually dating. Her current boyfriend found out and challenged him to a public match, which ended just as anyone expected.

Now she still continues to stream and cosplay, continuing to collect the big bucks from her fans. She makes appearances at conventions often but hates doing so because she finds so many of her fans repulsive. The money is more than worth it though. Recently she came up with an idea to bottle and sell her gray water. She was both disgusted and impressed with how fast the pre-orders came in.

Vote Shrug if neither option is good and we should keep going with suggestions.
