== History==
===2020===
Akane Nion's first official debut was with his V1, demoing "妄想感傷代償連盟 (Mousou Kanshou Daishou Renmei)"https://youtu.be/Wmc6Vujf0iE by DECO*27 on July 14th, 2020 covered by Tyler James. He wasn't released with the demo, due to the very low mic quality(built-in laptop microphone), and lazy moresampler oto.
===2021===
Akane Nion has a few updates with voice quality, a new monopitch VCV, his ACT3 "NORMAL" voicebank which was featured in "アンノウン・マザーグース (Unknown Mother Goose)"https://youtu.be/BxA2a6KoJVY by wowaka on April 10, 2021. He still isn't ready for release, as it is still a beta/testing vocal.
===2022===
Akane Nion had many updates, including an ARPAsing demo below. He has a soon-to-be official release, with a new voicebank, CORE. Part 1 of 5. Previous voicebank types for JPN VCV (PENT, RAIN) are deprecated and removed.

===2023===

==Concept==
- Nion is a space husky, who is fairly chill, but cold towards people they meet for the first time. but is usually quite quick to open up if the person seems nice, or if they want to be friends. He's just a tiny bit uncomfortable when meeting new folks. Aside that, he's quite the playful one once you get to know him.
- He has a huge tail and is able to float (to go places).
- He might be a bit of a mischievous husky (but that's to be expected, knowing the breed), being the prankster he is. 
- He's deaf in one ear (right), which is why his ear is limp all the time.
- He sometimes speaks fast, he slurs his words, and in turn is sometimes off-time when singing. Alongside this, he likes to throw in a mix of Japanese, Tagalog, and English in his singing (just for flair).
- He has some special abilities... [Spoilers TBA]
