Yukine Ketsueki (血液雪音) is a voicebank for the UTAU program.
Background[]
Yukine Ketsueki is a demon. He was one of the Prince of the Underworld, alongside his brothers Kazuma, Hiroto and Haku. The Ketsueki family were known to be THE mainstay royal family for centuries upon centuries within the confinements of the underworld, feared by all, respected by many. The Emperor and Yukine's father, Kisho, was a decidedly ruthless man, resulting in the life of his people being far more pitiful than it already was. His governmental policies struck down horrific circumstances on his subjects. He held an unbearable temper, which he would take out on both his family and those he viewed as beneath him; which, coincidentally, was just about anyone. The Emperor's reputation was far from stellar due to this, and he was not exactly loved by his people, simply feared due to his iron grip. This was also due, in part, to the Ketsueki royal family being demons, holding a higher status, leading to a greater amount of control over their spiritual powers. Yukine's birth wasn't far from pleasant. Biologically born a girl, by age-old royal laws of the Ketsueki family, the Emperors could not inherit anything to their descendants that were female. Many emperors preferred to give their daughters up for adoption to their people or simply end their lives at birth. Yukine's mother, named Suyen, begged and pleaded to Emperor, to allow her precious daughter to have the right to live. Disgruntled, but compromising, the Emperor seeked out a witch to lay a curse upon Yukine, so that he would not develop typical feminine traits, as well as changing his entire physical body makeup to that resembling a man. This curse only had the function of making his appearance that of a male; his internal organs were still those of a woman.
His life as a child, on the other hand, was relatively pleasant. His older brother Kazuma appreciated him very much and knew about his secret, keeping it close to his chest. He tried to train him and make him strong as a man worthy of the Ketsueki surname. This training led to him winning many tournaments of dexterity and strength among demons of his age due to the strength that Yukine developed thanks to the help of his older brother, Hiroto y Haku. They were his twin brothers, and they liked to play tricks on Yukine, even making jests like telling him that he looked like a girl simply because he was very thin, something that Yukine didn't pay attention to. Kazuma would routinely grow angry with them when this would happen; obviously they didn't know anything about Yukine's secret. Then some time later he began to be interested in his best friend, named Aki, but he thought he was mad for having attraction to another man, so he withheld his feelings, choosing to never confess them. Yukine grew increasingly confused. Although he knew he preferred a beautiful woman by his side, he began to look at boys who also caught his attention. This triggered a deep depression for a while because he thought he was sick in the mind and that something was wrong with him. Around this time, his father brought upon an event that would shatter things even further: telling him about his secret that he had not been made aware of prior. Yukine was in such a dark, endless pit that he eventually tried to end his own life, luckily stopped and saved by his brother Kazuma.
After these traumatic events transpired, Yukine was now 16 years old. He lived with something that would mark him for life... Rebels took his kingdom and appropriated his lands because the people of the underworld were tired of the government that his father Kisho managed as emperor and the pain they had endured. They revolted, and succeeded in this coup. His mother and brothers ultimately tried to flee to the human world because their father had already been sentenced to death for his actions, but upon reaching the border, the Rebels had formed an ambush to cut them off, attacking them and killing his mother and brothers in front of him in ruthless, cold-blooded fashion. In her last moments, Yukine's mother tried to impart upon him the wisdom to live and attempt to be happy, that was her greatest wish. Losing everything he had a meaning to live for, Yukine, stunned and paraylzed with pure terror and despair fell to his knees crying, begging to the soldiers of the Rebel movement to end with his life, so that he may rest in peace with his family. Without remorse, one soldier scoffed, only responding with: "It would be be meaningless to kill you, to give you the prize of meeting with them. It is far better that you live with it on your heart, and remember what your place is now."
Yukine came to the human world and ended up in a strange location, which was in the human world United States, specifically in the state of Boston, Massachusetts.
He was discovered by a group of people, severely malnourished and gaunt in the streets. They took him to social services, then the social services would deliver him to an orphanage. Yukine was full of so much confusion, feeling as if he had no good reason to live, or care about this world or those in it. After four months of his stay in the orphanage, he would be adopted by a family, the Campbells. They were Scots that nationalized in the United States who could not have children of their own. They had previously adopted a 2-year-old boy whom they named Liam. Seeing Yukine's grave situation and wanting to help him, they took him in under their wing and roof, sheltering him after just a few visits with the troubled boy; far more troubled than they ever could've imagined.
He was then able to study at a normal high school. Introduced as "Yukine Campbells." He met his best friends Nishiren Gard and Link Akasaka. They made Yukine spend at least a good time at his school, and it gave him many positive emotions he had not felt ever in his life before.
Yukine is a mathematics major student at Boston College in Massachusetts. He is a diligent student who is eternally hardworking and dedicated to doing the best job he possibly can. He practices fencing on weekends, due to an after-school program he discovered that piqued his interest. It became one of his biggest obsessions on the side. Little by little, he became accustomed to human life, with his family and friends giving him a purpose he was desperately missing. The past still lingers in his mind, but he is attempting to heal in his own way and time, with the secrets held close to his chest all the same. Sometimes he likes to eat pizza with Gabriel on Saturday nights. Ronnie and Umua join them for eat pizza on occasion. He is currently still dating Hino Koe, a lovely couple, but they have a long-distance relationship due to Hino living in Chile.
Concept[]
While Yuki has a personality and canon information given to him by his creator, it is not mandatory that you make content following this information. He may be depicted in any way regardless of his canon information, as long as it follows the UTAU software terms of use.
Yukine is a shy soul that is not the greatest at expressing his emotions. He would give his life for his friends and is vicious at defending the people he is closest to. When he is outspoken, he can have quite the mouth on him.
Yukine has the power of pyromancy and he is also a medium (he can talk to the gods of the elements). This is something he doesn't always understand. His powers confuse him regularly, due to his limited training where he originated from. He is still trying to grapple with it and mask it to the best of his ability for safety.
He is attempting to assimilate to the best of his ability to the way the humans live and tries to have the best intentions, as peculiar as the behavior of the mortals are.
