VTubers have quickly become my favorite new type of content creator on the web. While I’ve seen enough by now to know that the possibilities are endless for the creative and fun shapes of their avatars, I still wasn’t prepared for the resourceful and adorable VTSuperpersonality of Atom and Evelyn.
When you first meet Atom and Evelyn you might think, “Gosh, this is just a VTuber with a cat on his shoulder. Clean. “But when the VTuber starts speaking, Evelyn’s mouth doesn’t seem to move, although the words clearly reach your ear. If you’re like me, you’ll quickly find that nothing is wrong with your electronic device or VTuber rig true, you just saw the wrong person or animal on the screen, Atom is a talking cat and Evelyn is its silent owner and they are both controlled by a user at the same time.
For those who are not in the loop VTubers, also known as virtual YouTubers, are content creators who use motion capture to animate avatars of themselves on the screen instead of their actual faces. Some may take the form of a. accept levitating duel monster with an admiration for bum a light novel bartender, or a virtual idol indefinitely that happens to be dipping into NFTs as well. The person behind Atom and Evelyn takes the lore of her VTubing just as seriously, and has come a long way since debuting this year.

For those like me who can’t just blindly accept the reality of a talking virtual cat, Atom and Evelyn go the extra mile to approach the elephant in the room and explain the circumstances behind their VTabout persona their Twitch About page. Apparently Evelyn is some kind of Dr. Slump Character for harnessing the power of science to make Atom speak, simply because she wanted to. In addition, Evelyn was with bi. muterth. Obviously it is a psychological condition that Evelyn could fix with science, “but chooses not to”. That checks out. I too would use the power of science for animals above myself.

Always the professional Atom and Evelyn talked to Kotaku about how her VTuber career started, and all in character.
“Well, Eve and I are both very real, of course, but if I were hypothetically just a guy who created Atom and Evelyn as a VTuber personality, I think Atom and Eve would have been a compromise between all of the things that I did.” wanted to be a VTuber, ”said Atom and Evelyn Kotaku.
For the hypothetical person behind Atom and Evelyn, the great attraction of VTubing was how funny and cute the anime VTuber avatars were. Unfortunately, not all humans are created equal, and the theoretical person behind Atom and Evelyn felt that they lacked the cute factor badly, at least in terms of personality. The imaginary person behind Atom and Evelyn felt that they couldn’t meet their own expectations of an anime girl VTuber and had no interest in being a cute anime boy. The next best thing for her was to become a VTubing animal, as furry creatures are naturally cute. Developing a VTuber personality that would excite not only her future audience but herself as well was her first monumental task. If they weren’t impressed, nobody else would be.
“Ultimately, I landed on a cat on a girl’s shoulder. I will become a cute cat and an anime girl at the same time. And since Eve, the anime girl, is mute and a separate character from Atom, I’m not going to stain her with my “unsweetness”. It’s a win-win situation, ”said Atom and Evelyn.
Atom and Evelyn got their humble beginnings on YouTube this July. The first look at the VTuber was in a very short (six second) MS Paint-style video showing Atom his interpretation of the Overwatch Fan song “No Mercy” on a stool before Evelyn throws her out of the window. “Some content before we, a cat and her (mute) human girl can debut!” They said in the video description. Now the VTuber has its own face rig that enables Atom and Evelyn to interact with one another on the screen, and the “duo” has amassed over a thousand followers on Twitch.
While the couple don’t seem to have a set schedule for streaming it, you can check out their hilarious pics TikToksto put their streaming vods on Youtube, or see where they have been playing recently on their Twitch channel Encryption, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond / Luminous Pearl, or just chat with their viewers.
