You may have heard him as foul-mouthed, under-caffeinated NPCs Lor [Borderlands 3] and Paladin Mike [Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands], or even in various anime [Chainsaw Man, Pop Team Epic!, Tomo-chan Is A Girl!, Requiem of the Rose King, AOASHI, Apothecary Diaries, The Case Study Of Vanitas, SK8 the Infinity, Fruits Basket, and more] — but IRL he’s Ciarán Strange, an eccentric transgender/genderfluid voice actor, Twitch affiliate, sci-fi author, mental health advocate, indie rocker, and multimedia artist. At the tender age of seventeen, he left his family, friends, and English fishing village behind in order to chase his dreams across the Atlantic! Strange has become a familiar face throughout the American geek scene, in most parts via his music. After touring the US, UK, Canada, and Japan, performing at hundreds of shows, conventions, and festivals, Ciarán is known for his geeky covers and parodies, as well as his own original songs blended of pop, punk, and rock. Vocal ventures aside, this British import to the States has been swept up in his LGBTQ+ urban sci-fi series. Its debut novel, Black Tie by Ciarán Strange, is a gay romance thriller he’s pitched as “an awkward James Bond navigating a world full of superheroes”, which you can read now on Amazon! After a hiatus, Ciarán is returning to live streaming this Spring with a fresh concept project, combining his love of song-writing, world-building, story-telling, mental health & LGBTQ+ activism, and (with any luck!) a Nat 20 or two in charisma… So make sure you check in with him this weekend to hear about the long-awaited launch of his cosmic new Vtuber — CL (@CLisCiel)!!
