Grrism/Trivia

— Grrism

* Amélie’s Birthday (March 9th) is actually the day she was created in Blender/Unity for VRChat.
	+ Her original design was created on March 9th, 2018
* Amélie has a big sweet tooth, preferring pancakes and large buckets of ice cream, especially when it's cinnamon flavored or sprinkled in cinnamon powder.
* Grrism named his model *Amélie* because it is a name he would wants to give to his future daughter.
	+ In French, it means *Hardworking* or *To Strive*. He believes that the model is the result of his hard work and understanding of Blender/Unity. And is also in reference to her personality of being a hardworking individual that dedicates her life through training and effort.
	+ Her last name, Saika, has several meanings based on the culture it is used on.
		- In Arabic, it is spelled as *Saiqa* and literally translates to *Lighting* or *Thunder*.
		- However, in Japanese it has two contradicting meanings based on its Kanji, one ( 災禍 ) defines it as: a *Calamity* or *Disaster*. Another ( 彩花 ) defines it as: *A flower vibrant in color.*
		- Her last name is a reference to a song of the same name made by RABPIT that Grrism enjoys listening to. He discovered the song from two mobile rhythm game called *Deemo* and *Cytus*. The song has several variations and changes based on the game being played, and they also released a newer version of the song with lyrics that is played in the game *Deemo II*, a sequel to Deemo.

* IRL, Grrism prefers not to be headpatted, but doesn’t really mind it and is very cautious when hugged or when people get really close. This is actually due to IRL events that occurred during his busy work life. (He also has slight Phantom Sense when being headpatted)
* Grrism used to work two jobs, many know of his primary job of working Armed Security, but not all know of his second job. Only a small handful of people he considers close know about it. Because many don’t know his second job, people tend to guess what it is.
	+ Some believe he works in Law Enforcement or something in relation to it, others jokingly throw in random and creative titles, like Keanu Reeves’s Stunt Instructor.
	+ Though he is secretive about his second job, on May 8th, 2022, he revealed on Twitch and Twitter that he was in the US Army Reserves and that he recently signed an extended contract to go Active Duty to pursue his life goals and career, thus announcing his indefinite hiatus from streaming, model work, and animations.

* Amélie’s design is based on several characters from anime and video games.
	+ She is heavily based on Nero and Vergil from the video game series: Devil May Cry, Vergil’s fighting style and Nero’s prosthetic arm.
	+ Another part of her fighting style and design is also based on Tohka Todo from the anime series: Chivalry of a Failed Knight (Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan) and Lucia Alpha from the mobile gacha game: Punishing Gray Ravens
	+ Another small reference she based on is Roronoa Zoro from the anime: One Piece. Grrism saw Zoro as someone who, despite his lack of supernatural/godlike powers that his many comrades had, did everything through hardwork, dedication, and training. With Tron and Kisu being robotic AIs with powerful skills, he had to figure out a way to create Amélie’s lore, personality, and abilities to be somewhat on par with theirs, therefore using Zoro as the template.

* Amélie’s doggo bot is a retextured Dinergate from the mobile gacha game/anime: Girl’s Frontline. One of Grrism’s favorite franchises.
