I'm Ishkander ("Perry" or "PJ" works too!), a U.S.-based jack-of-all-trades with work in digital art, traditional games, writing, publishing, programming, and more.

Discord bots are known to impersonate people from services like VRChat, so double-check!

  • Red mages/magic fencers/etc. are my favorite character archetype.

  • I like apples, limes, carrots, club sandwiches, pizza, baked ravioli, lasagna, beef jerky, and Jagarico. I make a lot of chicken-fried rice. I'm practically addicted to Cavender's seasoning.

  • My voice is in PAYDAY 2 as a GO Bank prank caller.

  • I own several plush animals.

  • I used to play Robin in online Super Smash Bros. tournaments.

  • I used to be a Diamond Support player in Overwatch (my comp team has since dissolved.)

  • I've gotten 100% completion in Perfect Dark three times.

  • I mainly code in Javascript, Lua, and Python.

  • I occasionally make music, 2D art, and 3D art for indie game development.

  • I've previously written chatbots and managed online game servers.

  • I've edited more than 1,000 pages of RPG books.

I got into playing VRChat around the start of 2025 (I was a desktop-only player in 2017.) I've prepared several versions of my avatar for use in acting and messing around in public instances. I use Rebocap for full-body tracking.

You can usually find me in...

  • assorted game worlds

  • Audience Anarchy

  • Karaoke worlds (primarily those with custom song support)

  • Bullsh∗tǃ

  • those worlds with weird Japanese names you can't read

Under certain circumstances I may not be able to view Discord or other chat programs without freezing.

Worlds

The Mouse Hole
Part 1 of the "Ill-Willed Chill World" series: an antagonistic "chill" world that puts you in a small household at 1:20 scale. Jump around and explore to find various socially-oriented gimmicks.

Avatars

I use a modified version of onair's Alue, with the following assets, as my main avatar.

  • Watercolor eye textures: https://1808.booth.pm/items/7264747

  • MEKAKURE Short: https://sonovr.booth.pm/items/3205288

  • MEKAKURE Short has a custom texture made by myself.

I would like to make original avatars at some point in the future, but I do not currently have anything lined up.

Here are some words I like or consider interesting:

  • lurdane n. a lazy, stupid person.

  • phosphene n. a visual illusion in which one sees light despite light not entering the eye, such as by stimulating the eye by touch, electricity, or magnetism.
