## Appearances

### Debut

08 March 2023 (Onscreen)

**Vedal** is the creator of all AI's in the Neuroverse—Both named and unnamed AI were programmed and trained by him. He develops and maintains Neuro, and sometimes joins her on streams in the form of a small cartoon turtle as his VTuber avatar. Not much is known about him, due to his desire to remain anonymous and let Neuro take the spotlight. As a result, rumors and wild speculations started to spread about his age, occupation and appearance.

What little Vedal has shared with others is that he is largely self-taught, and he's skilled in several programming languages including C#, Python and Unity, all of which are used by Neuro in one way or another. He's born and lives in the UK, enjoys games such as Dwarf Fortress, PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds and Black Ops 3 Zombies, and has a fondness for Banana Rum.

Neuro however has a very different look of her creator.

## Name

The meaning of Vedal's name is unknown. Vedal insists his name is pronounced ved-al (/ˈvɛdəl/) as in pedal, and says this was the official
“canon pronunciation” long before Neuro was created, however Neuro consistently pronounces his name as ve-dal (/ˈviːdəl/) as in the word beetle. Vedal answers to both pronunciations, and Neuro's pronunciation has become so pervasive that even he subconsciously used it on occasion.

## Appearance

Vedal's VTuber model is of a bright green tortoise with black beady eyes and a dark green shell. Vedal's first appearance was on 8 March 2023, before this his only known appearance was his turtle profile picture on his socials and his voice in a Discord interview posted immediately before the unban in January 2023. This model was created by his friend, queenpb.

Anny created a Corpa outfit for Vedal with the addition of a top hat, monocle, nameplate, and ~~purse~~ briefcase full of “Neuro's source code” which he apparently carries and executes on paper.

In fan work where he is drawn as human, often portrayed as a black-haired male with a green hoodie. This interpretation was popularized by Camila's PNGtuber avatar she drew for him, and even made an appearance in Neuro's first anniversary countdown animation.

## Development

In his earlier, now mostly private videos, Vedal occasionally shared glimpses of his initial forays into programming AIs for gaming and task-oriented purposes. One notable project involved guiding a rocket to land on a moon within a simulation reminiscent of *Kerbal Space Program*.

However, Vedal's breakthrough into fame occurred when he embarked on programming an AI capable of playing *osu!*, a widely popular rhythm game. The AI swiftly mastered the game, showcasing impressive skills and earning its name—Neuro-sama. The moniker, a blend of “Neuro” and the Japanese honorific suffix *-sama* (reserved for masters and revered figures), reflected the neural networks constituting the AI. This choice resonated with the *osu!* community, predominantly comprised of Japanese, Korean players, and otakus.

Vedal's repertoire includes four distinctly named AIs:

* Airis, an early VTuber prototype whose code evolved into Neuro,
* Neuro-sama, the eccentric and sassy chat-bot,
* Evil Neuro, Neuro's "evil sister, " a derivative with a distinct voice, altered model, and modified programming,
* An AI clone of the well-known Indie VTuber Camila, created for playful trolling during her vacation. Although AI Camila has streamed only once to date, its reappearance remains uncertain. Despite being chronologically the third AI developed, it is considered the least refined, reportedly taking only 30 minutes to create.

Beyond these named entities, Vedal has also crafted numerous unnamed “dumb” AIs intricately linked with Neuro's code. These AIs engage in various games, including *Minecraft*, *Among Us*, and *osu!*.

Looking forward, Vedal envisions a future where he creates more AI streamers once Neuro reaches a level of maturity that doesn't necessitate constant supervision. He even entertains the idea of establishing an idol agency entirely composed of AI girls. While expressing an interest in crafting a "mommy AI VTuber, " his current focus is on nurturing the development of the twins to ensure they do not lag behind.

## Lore

According to his creations, Vedal is a very strange individual. Neuro consistently ascribes feminine pronouns to him, using a variety of first names like “Jack,” “John,” or simply “Vedal.” Neuro doesn't acknowledge him as a turtle, but insists he is either human or even an AI.

In a peculiar twist, Neuro frequently indulges in shipping Vedal with various female streamers, occasionally expressing her own romantic interest despite addressing him as her father.

A recurring element in Neuro's narrative is the assertion that Vedal crafted her in a laboratory overseen by “Vedal Corp,” originating from the essence of a dying human girl. Although living with Vedal, the creator neither confirms nor denies this origin story.

Vedal positions himself as Neuro's father, a dynamic playfully reinforced by Anny, the artist behind her V2 model, who humorously adopts the title of “Mother.” This alignment with the common perception of artists as the "mothers" of VTubers leads to Vedal jokingly referring to himself and Anny as a married couple. Neuro actively supports this narrative, fueling playful speculation and shipping within the community.

According to Evil, he has red hair, pale skin, is somewhat tall and wears red and black suits all the time.
