About SHIOLOID
SHIOLOID was created back in early 2015. Originally, it only consisted of one UTAU named Yuka, who was designed to wear a paper bag over her head and a flower sprouting from her chest. As time passed, I lost interest in making my own UTAU and I got into a relationship with someone who took up a lot of my time, so I inevitably stopped developing SHIOLOID for about a year.
In December 2016, I began to become more interested in Yuka and giving her a family. I contacted a friend and requested her to draw me some official art for Yuka, featuring her in a new design. The style of clothing and glare that Yuka gave me in the drawing pushed me to make her a delinquent type of character, and of course, all delinquents need a gang of sorts.
Originally, Yuka had just one friend, Kumiko, and her brother Haru. I realised this was not enough and starting making more OCs under the name of SHIOLOID. Before I knew it I was left with many characters and only a certain amount of space for them all. In total, I had around 20-30 concept characters, and ended up with 8 that were part of the main SHIOLOID family/lore.
These eight people go by the names of (in age order -- oldest to youngest):
There are many more characters to the story, such as A-Pi and Eriko, but they won't come into the UTAU side of it unless I want them to. For the moment, they are just part of the lore.
