Members:
CN Branch ?
The CN Branch was the first Branch to be established by 极光社 in 2021. The first models were drawn by IchigoUsagiVR, and some models even had 3rd party artists not from AuroraLiveVR’s artist team, but this practice has since been halted. All models are required to come from AuroraLiveVR’s own artist team as of today. There are over 100 talents in the CN Branch, and not all of them have 极光社 in their bio as tagging in profiles is not possible on Bilibili. More information on their talents can be found in their Discord Server.
