Nope, I'm out.—Lucian Aparicio
Stop nagging me about it and get a shrink!—Lucian Aparicio
Lucian Aparicio/Project LukTAU (アパリシオ ルシアン/プロジェクトルクタウ) is a voicebank for the UTAU program.
Your (Theoretical) Question About The Voicebank's Name[]
Why LukTAU instead of something like Lukpoid or Lukloid? Here's your answer. I didn't like the way it sounded when I appended any type of -oid to my nickname (or my full name for the matter), and I hadn't seen any UTAUloid names that referred to the SOFTWARE used to make it, so I smashed together Luk and UTAU to make LukTAU. Why didn't I make the "TAU" lowercase? Because I didn't like the way Luktau looked-
Profile[]
Luk can only be described as a irritable ball of stress and anxiety, much like their creator. They complain about having no friends, but do nothing but stay cooped up in their room. (That's totally what social people do.) Their family (which causes and will continue to cause them stress) tries to get them out to no avail, and they find more comfort in the internet, writing on forums, Discord servers, whatever floats their boat that day. At school, their life is a bit better, but the constant use of their deadname as a derogatory insult and people just blatantly ignoring their request to not be called a girl makes them want to be away from everyone. Luk is/has always been rumored to be the object of some boy of the week's affection, and they always try to deflect anyone's affection with an "I'll think about it", which is most likely just mild gamophobia masquerading as not being ready for a boyfriend.
They sometimes mirror the way they were treated by their parents by saying "I don't want to deal with you today" and other toxic things. They have a list of their worst memories and talk and write about them often. Trauma mood. During their early transition, Luk chose their new first name based on something they lacked - a light in their life. At home, Luk is way more closed off and cynical, curling up with a blanket frequently, doom scrolling until they fall asleep, and making comments like "No one loves you" in response to being berated. They still took the time to pursue the task of becoming a "Virtual Singer". Much like Sukone Tei, they have the philosophy of declaring war on all VOCALOID. Most of them, anyway.

Voicebank Details[]
All of these banks use other banks as a base to record over and reoto, thus making them a bit hard to use with existing USTs. I recommend using these banks with OpenUTAU, since they were tested with and therefore otoed to work with OpenUTAU. Also, these banks are derived (only with recording structure, or oto.ini files, I have never declared these characters as my own) from this voicebank (unsure of its name), Defoko/Utane Uta's VCV (and CV as of ACT 2), XELTA's English bank, and Lee Teion's Spanish bank. Luk's VCV (ACT 2S) is planned to have few extra subbanks, like a sort of screamo bank, a whisper bank, you get the picture...

Trivia/Extra Info[]
- Luk is envious of people with higher grades than them. Very envious. They're a perfectionist, and they're constantly being compared to their brother.
- They love fucking around with their voicebank's gender curve to imitate KAITO from those old MMD videos. In fact, they screamed "裸マフラ!!!" at the top of their lungs once. Everyone thinks they're crazy.
- The only reason Luk can speak good-ish-sounding Japanese is because they're a native Spanish speaker.
- They're envious of cis boys for their flat chests, and of crossdressers for being able to bend gender so easily. They couldn't even consider being a tiny bit feminine until way later into being themselves... At least they have the (non-existent) balls to even consider wearing a skirt right now.
- Every other UTAU is "better than them", and they look up to Kasane Teto the most, with so many sub-banks that run-of-the-mill UTAUs could only dream of.
- Luk's character item is a sweet corn tamale, cuz why not? 🫔🇸🇻 (They taste good trust bro-)
