What’s new · September 2026

Make your own character. Or start from someone else’s.

The stage where Maya lives is now open. Upload a Live2D model you own, write who they are, and talk to them in text or voice.

The Characters screen in kyndred: Maya's card with Chat and Call buttons, next to a Make your own card reading “Upload a Live2D model you own, give it a personality” and a Community builds card reading “Characters other people made”.
Your Characters screen. Two of these cards are new.

New · Make your own

Bring a model. Leave with a character.

Buy a Live2D model from its artist, or bring the rig you already stream with. Upload your copy, write who they are, and they’re on the stage: moving, speaking, using their own expressions.

The Make your own character page: three steps reading Buy a Live2D model, Upload your copy, Give them a personality, above a New character form with a name field, a personality box, and a Choose model folder button.
Three steps. The personality is plain words, not settings.

VTube Studio rigs work

Expressions and motions come along, even ones the model file never mentions.

You’ll know before the first hello

Every rig is checked when it arrives, and how well its mouth can speak shows as a badge on the model.

Framing is yours

Set how each model sits on the stage once; every conversation after that opens the way you framed it.

One model, many characters

Up to ten models, up to ten characters on each, and every character gets its own card on your Characters screen.

Uploading needs a computer. Models exported for Cubism 5.2 or newer aren’t supported yet, and a rig with no usable mouth can’t speak; we tell you before the first conversation, not after.

New · Community builds

Start from a character someone else made

A build is a recipe: the personality, plus a link to the exact model its maker bought. Take the recipe, buy the same model from its artist, and the character is yours. Your conversations stay your own.

The Community builds page: the heading Characters other people made, a line explaining that each build is a recipe with a link to the model its maker bought, and a Share your build button.
Builds are recipes, never files. The model always comes from its artist.

Share your own

A short clip of your character talking, your personality write-up, and the link to the artist’s shop.

Rate what you run

Three scores on every build: the art, the rigging, and how well it performs here.

The page is young: the first builds are being shared now. Yours could be one of them.

How it works · Ownership

The artist always gets paid

Kyndred never sells or hosts model files. A build links to the artist’s own shop and you buy straight from them. Your uploads stay private to your account: never shared, never listed.

  • Buy from the artist, always
  • Your uploads stay private
  • A person reviews every build

Nothing goes live on Community builds until someone on the team has looked at it, and there’s a report button if something slips through. A person reads every report.

Go build someone.
