VTuber Lore Writer

A VTuber's design can tell people what a character looks like, while their story can give people a reason to care more about who they are.

I write lore, character backstories, worldbuilding, and narrative material for VTubers and virtual creators. Whether you're preparing a new debut or looking to develop a character who is already established.

My approach comes from a background in fiction writing, with published short stories, competition-winning fiction, and completed novels.

See my VTuber Portfolio further down on this page, or my literary fiction in Writing.

Character Lore

Lore writing for VTubers who are already active but want their character and world developed further throught VTuber backstory.

I can expand on details already established through streams, or build new material around an existing concept while keeping the character consistent with what the audience already knows.

What I Can Write

Stories & Lore Drops

Original fiction written around your VTuber character or the world they inhabit.

These can work as standalone stories, lore reveals to be narrated by the VTuber, milestone pieces, channel trailers, promotional material, or as a foundation for webtoons, graphic novels, or visual novels.

Worldbuilding

A VTuber’s backstory becomes more interesting when there is a world behind them. I can develop settings, histories, factions, cultures, mythology, and other details that give your VTuber's story somewhere to exist.

Debut Writing

A complete VTuber lore package written for a debut. This can cover their origin story, personality, world, character background, and details that establish who they are from debut.

Character Development

A strong VTuber character is a combination of design, traits, and personality. I can help develop personality, motivations, relationships, contradictions, history, and other details that make a character feel coherent, distinct, and larger than what you see on screen.

Gigi Murin - Lore Bundle

This is a speculative VTuber lore project exploring Gigi Murin's character, background, and fictional world. The project develops the existing character concept into a narrative that expands on who Gigi is without standing in the way of future development, by combining character writing, worldbuilding and short-form fiction.

Copywriting & Summaries

Copywriting is the text you find on websites and in bios, the short snippets that describe a character or person so that anyone, new or old, can get a quick glimpse of who they are. It's something I really enjoy writing. It’s a good way to give viewers a brief insight into a VTuber’s backstory, lore, and character development.

Here's a speculative example where I expanded Hololive's Nekomata Okayu's lore beyond the brief snippet on their official website.

Who This Is For

This kind of writing can be useful for VTubers who:

  • Are preparing a new VTuber debut and want more than a few lines of backstory

  • Already stream but feel that your character has more potential than you’ve had time to develop

  • Have a character concept but aren’t sure how to turn it into a coherent personality with traits, goals, and uniqueness

  • Want stories or lore that give your audience something new to discover about you

  • Need creative writing for a bigger project such as webtoons, music videos, animations, visual novels, and graphic novels

About The Writer

I’m Elliot Lakefield, a writer, and multidisciplinary creative based in Sweden.

My fiction has been published by literary magazines including La Piccioletta Barca, Half and One, and Cálice Magazine, and I’ve also won fiction competitions. I have completed two novels and have a background in music production, photography, and creative direction. All of which you can find on my website.

My VTuber writing began as an exploration into how much narrative potential exists in VTubers, and how little of it is explored due to time constraints. The portfolio on this site contains examples of that work.
