Vivian James

Vivian James (born 22 August 1995) is the title character of R. J. Ashmore's Vivian James series. The majority of the books' plot covers Vivian's late teens, when she inadvertently becomes the newest member of the Gaming Guardians shortly before her nineteenth birthday. Thus in addition to her hobby as a hardcore gamer, her ambitions to become a game developer and her part time job at PizzaGate Pizzeria, Vivian trains as a Gaming Guardian under the tutelage of Complete Cookie and other notorious gamers. Vivian James has a certain level of notoriety due to her many gaming accomplishments and almost unmatched skill at all video games but this only makes her more of a target for the many foes the Gaming Guardians fight against.

Vivian James appears in the 2018 Universal Animation Studios film Computeropolis: The Deep Web in which she is voiced by Tara Strong, albeit credited under "additional voices."

Concept and Creation
The original character of Vivian James was not created by the author but was the creation of a collaboration between the 4-chan community and The Fine Young Capitalists (TFYC). Inspired by Vivian James and the other characters created from this, as well as the ongoing #GamerGate controversy, the author decided that these characters would merit their own story in a fictional universe.

R. J. Ashmore wanted to help with the #GamerGate consumer revolt but couldn't find a unique way. The story written for Vivian James started it's origins as a script for a game based on #GamerGate but being unable to actually make games and not wanting the time spent to go to waste, it was re-written as a comedic parody of the #GamerGate saga, using the fictional characters created from it.
