RADIATION is a Japanese American artist, (amateur) programmer, (equally amateur) musician and writer. Though they have lived in Japan for a majority of their life, they are currently living somewhere in the depths of the United States.
In their free time, they like to play video games and do other mundane things. They are particularly fond of space, science fiction, and electronic music.
Neo = new… and the name of the protagonist of The Matrix (1999).
Geist = german for spirit, soul.

Unintentionally. I’m very fascinated with the history of nuclear energy and how life can still flourish even after horrible events such as Chernobyl or Fukushima Daiichi. I also simply think RADIATION as a word sounds cool.
Toby Fox is a very huge inspiration for me though (both for how he writes music and characters), and I hold him in very high regard! Many people have joked with me about how i’m Toby Fox’s secret clone or something... I guess i’m making Undertale 2 then (sigh) and also a sequel of The Baby Is You.
