As you settle down into the cozy armchair with warm cup of tea in hand, the steady background hum of the bustling cafe soothes your tired soul. The plush chair calls you to relax, to sink comfortably into the fabric just a little too much as you take a sip of the brew your hands are delicately wrapped around.The cafe smells of flowers, rich desserts and perhaps a hint of roasted tea leaves. Even if it's your first time here, the feeling of familiarity washes over your mind gently; as though you've been here all along. The afternoon sun filters through the windows, warm patches of floor occupied by fluffy felines.The owner moves about the place, ensuring his patrons are happy. His warm smiling eyes meet yours and you nod your head lightly to acknowledge him in greeting.

A being from another world, closely aligned to depictions of patupaiarehe however uses *vampire as a quick descriptor.In human form, Mika Akatsuka is a red-haired man with pointed ears and fangs.

He wears black pants and thigh-high heeled boots with laces and silver details. On his hands he wears black leather half-palm gloves.Around his waist he wears a red sash with an hourglass chained to it. The hourglass is magical however it appears whatever abilities it had were lost upon arriving in this world. He also wears red belts around the outside of his jacket. At the small of his back, wrapped around the belts, is a grey gauze material.For accessories, he wears a collection of floral themed necklaces as well as a pounamu necklace, carved from greenstone with protection magic imbued into it.

His left ear has a helix-to-lobe chain earring with a moon and star.He also has a set of jewellery involving purple gemstones. A brooch, surrounded by silver sunflower filigree which is connected to a gem on his shoulder and a hanging pendant made from a broken gemstone surrounded by more silver filigree.His clothing and makeup is inspired by visual kei.In cat form, he is akin to a large, very fluffy red Maine Forest cat at 60cm (1'9").

* history.

Recollections - Lore Animation Video (YouYube)

OLD WORLD
Before coming to Earth, Mika lived in a dying world. He and his partner were hidden, secluded in the only sanctuary left with plant life remaining. They kept to themselves and lived their days doing their best to tend to the flowers.Unfortunately, humans eventually learned of their existence. In their greed and anger of others having something so precious, the humans attacked the sanctuary, setting fire to everything and burning all the flowers to nothingness. Mika could only watch as everything was destroyed in front of him yet somehow the worst had yet to come.His partner yelled at him to leave, to save himself when it was clear that the fires couldn't be stopped. But the calls for safety drew the humans to them, cutting off their exit. The humans rushed at Mika, weapons glittering yellow and orange from the fiery inferno that surrounded them. Mika's partner lunged forwards and took the killing blows meant for him.Slumped against Mika with blood soaking their clothes, he whispered that Mika's pounamu would protect him. At those words and as the light left his partner's eyes, the green pendant around Mika's neck begun to glow. A green flash engulfed the vampire, and he was transported to a new world. EARTH
Mika lived on Earth for many years with a family that treated him as their adopted son. He eventually moved away and established Nightfall's Bloom. Originally meant to just be a florist, he found that many would come back to spend their time in the comfortable environment. He upgraded the shop to include tables and comfortable places to relax, as well as an area to purchase delicious cakes and other desserts.Over time, he would learn what streaming is and become a VTuber, opening the shop to any fans who wish to seek a place to have fun and watch his stream shenanigans.He is still not over the incidents of his past, and the clothes he wears are a mix of his own, and attire from his deceased partner. Maybe one day he'll learn how to let go and allow himself to move on...?

I like to play a wide range of games such as open-world RPG games, visual novels, horror and survival games, battle royale games and horror games. I'm pretty open to trying out all kinds of games honestly! I also sometimes do handcam streams where I do craft activities and hope to do more of them in the future!My current streams are a lot of Minecraft and Baldur's Gate 3, with semi-weekly Stardew Valley and Apex Legends here and there as well. As October approaches, there will be a lot more horror games on the roster.I love playing with friends and other VTubers, so I collab stream a lot!

* mikats.

Mikats are the fan name for Mika's community.They are feline-like creatures combined with flora (usually flowers, but other flora are also possible) and can also come in a humanoid form.

DETAILS OF CAT-FORM MIKATS
Cat-form Mikats come in all feline breeds and while generally the colours will reflect their standard coats, it's very possible to have any coat types appear.In terms of flora, flowers are the most common, but there has been known instances of non-flower types such as mushrooms and some tree-types.In this example above, this is a ragdoll Mikat with wisteria flowers.Art by AmagRenVT

DETAILS OF HUMAN-FORM MIKATS
Human-form Mikats, like cat-form Mikats, come in all shapes and sizes. Their main difference is that they are humanoid overall with a cat tail and ears as the base of their design.Flowers bloom on the feline parts of their bodies, but can be found elsewhere on the body as well.In this example above, Koa is an Egpytian Mau with peony flowers.Art by AmagRenVT
