Vtuber Flye (also known by their nickname "Flye Gaming") is a character based on the original Flye character designed by artists Hioshiru and The-F0X, who is portrayed in Argie Bee franchise series, such as Argie Bee Art School and Argie Bee Plays, by franchise creator Darien Brice Dickinson.
Whilst sharing the same design as the regular Flye found in other Studio RGB-Newt / The Fishal Project art and media productions, they are considered separate characters due to the usage of Dickinson's voice instead of the regular voice actors used for Flye, and other canon details of Flye found in scripted entertainment not being applied to this iteration of the character, such as Vtuber Flye not having Frie as their partner (because according to the lore of the Argie Bee franchise, Vtuber Flye is "too busy gaming to have a girlfriend").
To further separate the two characters, Vtuber Flye is even set to play the video game Flye 'n' Frie on the 1000th episode of Argie Bee Plays, from a meta point-of-view where Vtuber Flye considers the in-game Flye to be a fictional character based on himself (when in reality, it is of course the other way around).
Concept and creation
Vtuber Flye's Live2D model was made by Darien Brice Dickinson whilst following tutorials only by YouTube users YoshinoArt[1] and Cutie Dragon[2].
The character was originally envisioned as someone who has never seen a video game in their life, and who ended up lost in space, just happening to float past solar-powered abandoned arcade cabinets, consoles, and other machines designed to play video games. Through this, he would learn a life lesson from each game, that'd help him get out of his situation of being trapped and floating amongst the stars by the end of the series.
The above idea was reworked entirely, so that it could include a castle and interactions with other NeonWabbit characters instead.
Fictional history
Argie Bee Plays
Vtuber Flye starts off as someone who grew up hating video games due to be being jealous of other people's abilities to play them as he couldn't afford them, but as a historian working at a museum, he was soon tasked with obtaining rare video game memorabilia from the abandoned Castle Argie Bee. To pull off a heist, he got a rag-tag group of people off the street, including a alternate universe version of Frie whom he doesn't know (separating Vtuber Flye canon from regular Flye), and who flees the mission early on.
The castle, previously owned by the missing "Ol' Man Geoffrey", who was said to own every game in existence, was now in fact guarded by a lone boss monster, itself being called the Argie Bee, and its slaves, the dummies created by Banzee, such Dummy-X, who keep the castle in good upkeep. Upon being alerted to their position, the Argie Bee and its dummies managed to lock Vtuber Flye away inside the castle walls, where he is forced to finish at least 1000 episodes of an original video game show before he can leave, as punishment for attempting to steal the video game memorabilia within the castle walls.
During episodes, Vtuber Flye sometimes talks to some of the dummy slave bees, who can't be heard, but are apparently managing the recording of the episodes in a separate booth off-screen, and who seemingly pass directions onto him if he's stuck.
General information
Vtuber Flye looks exactly like the other NeonWabbit original character known as Flye, but the two characters aren't related in any way, nor do they share the same universe(s).
