@NickTheWoodenToaster actuallly, half of these characters had preset personalities, in fact Aoki Lapis ( And Merli to a lesser extent ) basically has an entire backstory about having lost her memory and other weird stuff - and it's more than just based on appearance, but it could also be depending on 1. What their vocals were initially meant for ,or 2. a point that a voicebank would perform well in. For example, one of Kokone's dislikes is songs without harmony, but this might be more fitting for Anon and/or Kanon since their Vocaloid voices were meant to sing together, which although it doesn't necessarily mean harmonies, it would make the most sense that they would have a stance on that moreso than Kokone. Kokone could have a like or dislike concerning her ability to sing in falsetto since that's what she was meant for, Lapis and Merli could have a feature regarding each other since it's implied they dislike each other since they are canonically polar opposites. They had a lot they could've worked with, but instead decided to throw those things out the window.

On top of that, it doesn't really make a lot of sense that they wouldn't appear in a game involving music, that's what they were meant for, and other than maybe for advertising, it's kinda silly when they're put into a genre of media they just simply weren't meant for, especially if it's not the company who created the characters doing it in the first place. Their avatars aren't characters as much as they are mascots to represent the corresponding Vocaloid voice, and unless they are ( like Anri Rune ), or were made from ( like in the case of Gachapoid ) pre-existing characters, it's kinda silly if it were to stray from that.
