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 current partner throughout the main show (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<ref>https://youtube.com/@YoshinoArt</ref> and Cutie Dragon<ref>https://youtube.com/@CutieDragon</ref>.

Vtuber Flye's first Live2D model was made in 2023 by Darien Brice Dickinson whilst following tutorials only by YouTube users YoshinoArt<ref>https://youtube.com/@YoshinoArt</ref> and Cutie Dragon<ref>https://youtube.com/@CutieDragon</ref>, and only features the top half of Vtuber Flye's body, with arms brought in on top with Spud Controller and other software by SadWhale Studios.

~~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~~.

A second Live2D model, made in 2026, expands upon the original by mostly only following the Live2D tutorial series by Merely.wufeii<ref>https://youtube.com/@MerelyWufeii</ref>, plus hand-tracking tutorials by OpalAltalune<ref>https://youtube.com/@OpalAltalune</ref>, controller-tracking tutorials by SinbadStardust<ref>https://youtube.com/@SinbadStardust</ref>, and additional tutorials by Soulty Ragevin and Vyris2D (for the tail), before then following additional supplementary material created by the artists followed for the first model.

The above idea was reworked entirely, ~~so that it could include~~ a castle and ~~interactions with~~ other ~~NeonWabbit characters instead~~.

It was created based on renders of regular Flye's 3D reference model (which was modelled by [[RasterRaccoon]]). Additional 2D painting and layering work was done to make the model match the first Live2D model, and most importantly, the entire full body has been rigged this time. The final model (which supports VTube Studio's new native controller support, instead of relying on Spud Controller, etc., though they may still be used) will debut starting with the first episode of ''[[Argie Bee Plays]]'' season 2.

To separate the character lore-wise from regular [[Flye]], 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, with Vtuber Flye now being stated to be locked inside a castle with no interaction with the outside world, but still able to communicate with "worker bees" in the recording booth, who feed him information about the games he plays when he gets stuck and other trivia.

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).

As expected from someone who grew up hating video games, he usually doesn't understand basic gameplay mechanics or plotlines of certain games, but this may just be an act in defiance of his captors, as it is shown he knows exactly what dragon magic powers to use to activate cheats or glitches, when necessary. Using his powers sometimes causes his eyes to roll up completely, exposing the whites of his eyes, and/or emits a glow from his body.
