Vagenda is perhaps the only musician in the world who started off as a fictional character in the multiplayer video game DC Universe Online. From her humble beginnings as a superhero, she has developed into a whole electronic persona, with a 26-chapter backstory published online, a voice courtesy of Japanese Vocaloid program Hatsune Miku, a visual identity created by Taiwanese artist Monori Rogue, and even merchandise, including real-life versions of her lightsaber blade and top hat, as well as a music manager, Peterborough audio engineer Brian Dowding. She has served as a fascinating example of the possibilities of identity online. Her songs range from heavy metal to jazz to folk to opera. Her first album, the ambitious 26-track Nerado Black Sessions, was released in 2016, and a followup is coming soon.
