Description
2016 UPDATE: Scott's website now clarifies that his name's origin and meaning is unknown, it just happened to be the random GET for his name suggested Scott. The thing I read about Robert Falcon Scott was apparently just fan speculation...unless his creators are stating this just to prevent sullying R F Scott's name, I dunno, there doesn't seem to be an archive of the threads unlike the case with Tei. Regardless, my headcanon has been established and it ain't changing anytime soon.Just as Tei Sukone (Scottei) is associated with Scottie brand tissues, Scott's name is a reference to Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman who set out in 1910 with four others to be the first people to reach the South Pole. Robert Falcon Scott ended up reaching the pole, but later learn they were actually second place; another group of explorers beat them to it by a few weeks. Their luck just gets worse and worse, and in the end, the entire party dies of some combination of exhaustion, hypothermia, and starvation. It is believed that Scott himself was the last to die, judging from the position of the bodies of his comrades in the tent.
Naturally, as soon as I found this out, my sadistic mind wondered if Scott the Vipperloid would ever try to convince his friends to go explore Antarctica, and if the story would in more or less the same way except for Scott dying first because the chimera realized the Donner Party might have been onto something.
In fact, I've already written a crack fic about this*, but since it's written like a movie script instead of a book, I'll probably just make a comic with MMD because heaven forbid I actually use MMD for animating because I'm too lazy to figure out how do HANASU stuff in UTAU nor I do have the voice acting skillage to adquately potray nine different characters. I can roar tho.
Effects abused:
Snow Plane
That snow-falling-down-effect thingy (x3)
Wind (x2)
SSAO
Characters (left to right) Mwahaha Ghost now you have no excuse to call them "that guy"
Tei Sukone
Oniko Hinomoto
Miko Ooka
Ritsu Namine
Scott
Teto Kasane
Hate Aino
Rook
Ruko Yokune
*P sure any story in which a crossdressing six-year old armed w/ 25 tonne misslie-boobs is the Straight Man qualifies for a crack fic

I know this is almost 3 full years later, but you could always find voice actors. There are plenty of aspiring voice actors on the interwebs looking to expand their resume.
But man, I'd feel sorry for Scott when they're in the middle of the antartic tundra with everyone freezing their circuits off.

I have tossed around that idea, but I'm not sure if I could commit to keeping up the animated portion. I've less time nowadays.
Another small issue is that some UTAU (not sure if it applies to any of the Vipperloids) forbid portraying the character with another voice. I think that only applies to UTAU voices, but still, I'd have to some legal researching and stuff.
That being said, I keep revising this story and again and again, even after 3 years. You've got me thinking that it might be about time I actually make something concrete with the 100+ notes saved on my phone regarding this story arc. We'll see what the future holds!

Didn't know about the legal schtuff. Always a giant bugger when that's an issue.
But I get your other delimma! I myself have a comic that's yet to be "officially" started, and I've been going over the story for over a year now.
At the very least you could write down the story in story form and maybe share it.

She doesn't seem to have caught on. Oniko kind of has the same problem with no one using her voice even though her character is all over the place, but poor Nero has hardly any fanart, so I don't think she'll ever get a model.

Same thing with aino yet she has one. I used to have all but nero before my flashdrive died. All that jard work wasted. Do u have any idea how hard onikos model is to get? Even then the colors for my oniko was wrong

I think Aino caught on more than Scott, Oniko's voice, and Nero ever did, just judging from the amount of fanart they have on Pixiv. (Oniko has a ton of fanart, but I've only found about three pictures that indicate she has any sort of connection to UTAU.)
Most of the art of Nero is by her creator, so if anyone's going to make her a model, it's probably going to be her. I wouldn't cross my fingers though because I don't Nero's creator has ever used MMD.
Try using [link] to re-find your models. It doesn't have Oniko and Nero, but it should have all of the Vipperloids. Even better, it's in English, so you won't have to use Google translate to find what you need.
