>>1530432I get where you're coming from but I still think the place where you're landing is overly restrictive as a character basis, and specifically in regards to /vp/ it's still a simple concept that's just being split into two parts to represent the distinct division between the two sides of the board (it's game elitists vs ashime elitists, by the way, not smogon vs casual).
I'll be honest in saying that I don't care a great deal for board-tans, I think it's a joke that's run its course and I sure as hell don't believe that every board needs one. That said, if you guys are serious about making one that can last (and I do think that /vt/ has enough of its own culture that it could possibly warrant one) instead of making a flavor of the month thing that people will forget fairly quickly (I was around for /vrpg/'s board-tan's creation and I still can't for the life of me remember what they decided on), I'd suggest honing in on and determining two key characteristics early on.
>Body-TypeI think that adult male or loli could work in this case, depending on what you wanted to lean on. That said, I think loli would make more sense in this instance as a homage to our roots as a /jp/ derivative. Even now many aspects of our board culture can be traced back to our origins in /jp/, so it just makes sense to me to make another loli our board tan. Ultimately though this is contingent on the next characteristic:
>Personality TraitJust consider one, overarching theme that represents the board as a whole. For /v/, it was anger, for /a/, it was waifufaggotry. I personally think that the one trait that best describes /vt/ is its seeming obsession with schizophrenia. Rrats are also fairly important to the culture, so I'd probably throw in something about being a rrat obsessed schizophrenic as well.
So there you go, one possible route to go with the board-tan would be to make /vt/ a schizophrenic loli with a rrat theme, coming up with inane and insulting narratives about vtubers that she proceeds to watch anyway. Maybe even give her some sort of tattered royal getup, make her the "Rrat King".
It's not the only thing you could do for /vt/, but my point is that it's probably best to just hone in one one or two easy to understand key features and let the character grow organically from that. If you can find a compelling way to link her to a more popular board-tan in the process, then more power to you.
