History Characters / LapfoxTraxHalleyLabsActiveAliases

'''deuteronomy''' or '''DOWNLOAD'''(formerly stylized as '''⇩LOAD''') is a male hellbat who produces noise music. They were originally separate from [=LapFox=] Trax and their releases were on a separate Bandcamp page, which is no longer available. Their first appearance outside of the dedicated label was in the release notes for ''ИΣVΣRLAИD SØUИDGIRL$''. However, their first official appearance as a [=Lapfox/Halley=] alias was in ''Bon Voyage''. As Emma's fursona, deuteronomy takes their name from the duology of PC Engine and CD games and a shmup of the name. ⇩LOAD's design from 2013 was made as a way to personify and sexualize Emma's own fears to lessen their effect on her. As such, the decision to make them a bat was based on stereotypical personality traits. As time passed, DOWNLOAD's design was toned down significantly and more effeminate, making him Emma's "casual" fursona. On December 10, 2019, Emma announced on Twitter that the character of DOWNLOAD would have a 'real name' ('''deuteronomy''') attached to them to reflect less harsh noise tracks.

* {{Conlang}}: greenhouse speaks a strange language using the phonetic library.

* Manchild: He's completely incapable of acting his age.

->greenhouse wanders the endless interstice on which the old world was once built carrying a laptop and radio. They capture weak radio signals across space and time, cataloging their existence by repurposing them into works that evoke their perceived now, and transmitting them back out.

->HALLEY LABS has been receiving these transmissions for approximately two months. The interstice acts as a one-way gate, and as a result, HALLEY LABS has been unable to contact greenhouse.

A duo of canines that produce digital punk rock, often with vocals. KITCALIBER can be recognized for their distorted rock sounds and thrashy synth noises.They are generally referred to as '''Kit''' (the duo's female "vocalist", whose vocals are actually generated via Cepstral text-to-speech tools, and more recently Google Translate's text-to-speech function, which are then time and pitch corrected), and "Caliber" (the duo's male producer and programmer). Although they are a group alias, they are placed in the single-artist category because KIT and CALIBER have not made separate releases of their own making. For instance, Caliber has appeared alone in [=NegaRen's=] ''TRAPPED IN THE TWERKZONE'', and Kit has been in TQBF's "NERVE'S ENDING".

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: They're no art of their physical appearance, only static.

->'''Gender:''' Unknown

Their biography is as follows:
->⇩LOAD isn’t a traditionally organic creature. Soul sludge is implanted with the energy created by other creatures’ reproduction to create new creatures.

->The gov’t-ordained sex industry in hell is at a low due to lack of bodies willing to throw themselves into the fray. A plan is hatched: convert code to electricity and implant it in the soul sludge. A coder is hired, and either turns out to be completely crap or a bit of a joker. The gov’t wants “something accessible, something easy, something everything in hell would be down to get busy with” and suggests “sexy bat girls into some pretty vanilla activities”. The coder gets to work and passes their work over before disappearing. It’s implanted into the sludge, and they don’t quite get what they want. ⇩LOAD is immediately removed from the picture, deemed unsuitable for the target market. His code is incomplete, he’s prone to crashing and forgetting what he was doing in emotional fits, and he’s certainly unhappy with himself, as he’s not what he was coded to be.

'''Eugene''' is a female intersex hellhound that produces hip hop with digital hardcore and noise influences. Her backstory is as follows:

(Tumblr)
->here’s Eugene! you may have seen her around places. like Truxton, she’s a biologically intersexed hellhound. unlike Truxton, she’s chosen to pursue a female identity.

->as far as anybody can tell, she’s good friends with Truxton, and as such, has become interested in DIY weaponry. she’s also into boxing. not much else is known, aside from what little else could maybe be derived from her place of residence. i think giving a character a place to live can help round them out.

->she’s kind of the essence of what i think of when i think “digital hardcore” and “beat ‘em ups”.

->[=#JAMMAPUNK shit yo=]

(Weasyl)
->Eugene is a long-time friend of Truxton and left Hell alongside them when they were exiled. A major creeper for boxing babes. Administrative, unmoving, and power-hungry, but only when in the position to be. Otherwise quiet and mindful of those she knows. On the surface world, Eugene came to appreciate organized fighting as a sport, and set up the Global Fisting League in an effort to keep herself alive. The GFL is a nearly-anything-goes sparring organization for hellthings, in which the winner feeds off of the life force of the loser. Eugene rarely needs to fight in GFL matches, however, as she is contractually allotted half of each losing hellthing's life force from every other match. Due to the way she runs the GFL, she has been seen as unfair, unflinching, and completely lacking in empathy. The exact opposite is true outside of the organization. She cares deeply for those close to her and takes no issue with putting her life on the line for friends, regularly making excursions back to Hell to assist those still residing there.

->LIKES: Fighting, play-fighting, boxing babes, physical soreness, digital hardcore.
->DISLIKES: Vegetables, rule-breakers, sore losers.
->HOBBIES: DIY weaponry, DIY housing, DIY everything.

->hyi belongs to an alien race made of data that ended up on earth somehow billions of years ago. This race housed themselves in glaciers in an effort to keep their data from evaporating. As global warming started to melt the ice caps, the race began to lose its data storage ability (and bodies), and hyi in particular began to store what data they could via the intangible medium of music for safekeeping.

(Heckscaper)
->From far away,

->Found home in glaciers to maintain data integrity.

->When the glaciers melt, the data must be transferred.

->Size: Varies (6 foot average)

->Weight: ?

->Likes: Redundancy, stability, predictability.

->Dislikes: Memory loss.

A duo of canines that produce digital punk rock, often with vocals. KITCALIBER can be recognized for their distorted rock sounds and thrashy synth noises.

They are generally referred to as '''Kit''' (the duo's female "vocalist", whose vocals are actually generated via Cepstral text-to-speech tools, and more recently Google Translate's text-to-speech function, which are then time and pitch corrected), and "Caliber" (the duo's male producer and programmer).

Although they are a group alias, they are placed in the single-artist category because KIT and CALIBER have not made separate releases of their own making. For instance, CALIBER has appeared alone in [=NegaRen's=] ''TRAPPED IN THE TWERKZONE'', but has not made his own releases outside of KITCALIBER.

She has 4 color palettes, with a part of biography for each one. Goes from Unknown, to C, B, and A:
->'''1978-1996:''' Born May 22 1978 in '''[REDACTED]'''. Evaded school due to anxiety. Became a reckless bully as overcompensation for weakness. Enlisted in Feel-Line Military Forces at 18 years of age.
->'''1996-1999:''' Quickly became a high-ranking Feel-Line Military official. Began channeling fear and anxiety into power. Responsible for the torture of hundreds of prisoners of war. Spiraled into psychedelic drug and sex addiction. Disappeared.
->'''1999-2002:''' Underwent complete mental self-destruction and reconfiguration. Killed anxiety. Killed guilt. Killed fear. Fell in love with rave. Found the self they have denied their entire life, and fell in love with it.
->'''2002-????:''' Began organizing community events. Began to deny themselves nothing and killed shame. Became real. Pallete documentation is ongoing.

'''Truxton Dogyuun''' is a hellhound that produces plunderphonics and trap music. His biography is as follows:

(Nabyn)
->Exiled from Hell for being far too positive for their liking, this young hellhound wanders the surface world in constant need of energy from the souls of the living to stay alive themselves. Putting on the guise of a mashup DJ, Truxton travels around the world performing at illegal underground parties, living off of the energy emitted from the crowds they perform for. Drifter. Constantly traveling, keeps acquaintances rather than friends. Even after living for over 100 years, is the life of the party. Almost obscenely upbeat and outgoing. Hard to handle in large doses. When not performing on the surface world, Truxton resides in the sewers. As a hobbyist builder, they assemble makeshift weapons generally created with musical items.

->LIKES: Big cities, long bus rides, noise pollution, pop music.
->DISLIKES: Copyright law, plane rides, the guy at the back of the party in the corner with their hood up.
(Weasyl)
->Truxton was discharged from JUDECCA training for being a generally positive, upbeat creature, and was eventually tortured and exiled from hell, having their horns, fangs, claws, and right leg removed. Truxton was loaded onto the elevator to the surface world where they contacted GUTZ and requested replacement parts. Truxton has since been paying off their debt to GUTZ via payments earned through live DJ touring and by endorsing the GUTZ brand.

->'''Gender:''' Female

A female [[{{Franchise/Metroid}} Chozo]] who specializes in ambient and drone pieces, as well as some noise. Her works explore dark, dynamic, and isolated sci-fi themes.

->'''Gender:''' Male

'''BANDETTO''' (バンデット)[[note]]Romanji for "bandit"[[/note]] is an orange pool dog who makes experimental breakcore with Japanese influences. He was formerly an alias separate from [=LapFox=] Trax, as a way for Emma to get away from the expectations they and the listeners had for the music. This changed on October 18, 2013, when BANDETTO's Bandcamp page was deleted and his releases were moved to [=LapFox=] Trax. He's been a Lapfox/Halley regular alias since then.
* AnimateInanimateObject: He's an inflatable pool dog.
* CapitalLettersAreMagic: His name is always written like this.
* WordOfGod: He and TQBF are in a canon relationship, according to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbXUrY-TGUo&t=264 this]].

->'''Species:''' Deer

𝕮𝖆𝖒𝖇𝖎𝖚𝖒 is a deer who represents the lead synths of HALLEY HARD SOUND UNIT. They reside within the Underground Garden, and their tag is [=CERV001=].

'''deuteronomy''' or '''DOWNLOAD'''(formerly stylized as '''⇩LOAD''') is a male hellbat who produces noise music. They were originally separate from [=LapFox=] Trax and their releases were on a separate Bandcamp page, which is no longer available. Their first appearance outside of the dedicated label was in the release notes for ''ИΣVΣRLAИD SØUИDGIRL$''. However, their first official appearance as a [=Lapfox/Halley=] alias was in ''Bon Voyage''.

As Emma's fursona, deuteronomy takes their name from the duology of PC Engine and CD games and a shmup of the name. ⇩LOAD's design from 2013 was made as a way to personify and sexualize Emma's own fears to lessen their effect on her. As such, the decision to make them a bat was based on stereotypical personality traits. As time passed, DOWNLOAD's design was toned down significantly and more effeminate, making him Emma's "casual" fursona.

On December 10, 2019, Emma announced on Twitter that the character of DOWNLOAD would have a 'real name' ('''deuteronomy''') attached to them to reflect less harsh noise tracks.

A multicolored cat initially created for the {{VideoGame/Mungyodance}} games, Emoticon has produced music of several genres (Ryustyle, Popcore, Symphonicore, etc.), with a common thread of "happiness." Some of his faster, more intense tracks were labeled under '''Emoticon X'''. Under the [=VULPvibe=] Records label, he eventually settled into producing happy hardcore music. Later, his future musical releases were rebranded as '''Furries in a Blender.'''

In September of 2014, Emma announced that Furries in a Blender was retired and replaced by a new alias, Rotteen, as Emma felt that FIAB was a "dead joke" and that Rotteen's palette didn't fit well with happy hardcore music. However, in November of 2014, it was revealed that Furries in a Blender was to return to the old name of Emoticon, strictly for old-school Happy Hardcore.

EUGENE is a female intersex hellhound that produces hip hop with digital hardcore and noise influences. Her backstory is as follows:

->'''Species:''' Alien

They are generally referred to as "KIT" (the duo's female "vocalist", whose vocals are actually generated via Cepstral text-to-speech tools, and more recently Google Translate's text-to-speech function, which are then time and pitch corrected), and "CALIBER" (the duo's male producer and programmer).

[[folder:Kitsune
]]

'''Kitsune
''' (also known as '''Kitsune^2''', '''Kitsune Squared''', or just '''K
''') is a male rat originally made for the {{VideoGame/Mungyodance}} series. He later appeared under the [=VULPvibe=] Records and [=LapFox=] Trax labels. He produces video game inspired chiptune and demotune tracks.

'''Klippa Sonderlei''' is a horned lizard that produces dubstep and downtempo music, including hip hop, glitch hop, and skweee.

The music he used to produce and what he produces now are drastically different, since Emma has expressed that they wish to move further away from dubstep with the alias and produce more experimental downtempo work.

->'''Species:''' Shark

A female shark that produces what is generally electro house-inspired music with chiptune and breakbeat influences. She also stars in the game {{VideoGame/Shark Attack}}. Mayhem was one of the mascots of PSURG Design along with Mischief, who she was shown to be in a relationship with. On August 18th, 2015, Emma mentioned in a Reddit post that Mayhem as a musical alias was unlikely to be heard from again. However, she returned in December 2016, under a track called ''Boneless'' with Rotteen. She has since been a mainstay of Halley Labs.

->'''Gender:''' Physically gender-null (but may identify as male)

A fox (referred to as a "pumpkin fox") that was created from the collective spirit of Halloween. He that produces a fusion of happy hardcore, speed dance, and moombahton/reggaeton which Emma has jokingly referred to as "next-gen miami speed bass". [=NegaRen=] can be recognized through his telling use of half-time breakdowns uitilizing the Dem Bow rhythm. As his name would imply, [=NegaRen=] is basically a "negative" version of Renard, which is the reason for his "inverted" coloring.

Work under the alias is only released between late September-November, and is primarily a Halloween gimmick. As such, much of the work under the alias arguably bleeds into what would regularly be released as Renard. Ironically, [=NegaRen's=] style is a bit more upbeat and happier than that of Renard's despite being a negative version of him.

A lot of his lore comes from the "[=NegaRen=] Retrospective", which was part of a [[https://lapfoxtrax.fandom.com/wiki/HALLOWEEN%3F_FUCK_THAT!#NegaRen_Retrospective 2019 livestream event]].

'''Renard Queenston''' (once going under the name of '''Mr. R''') is a fox-raccoon hybrid (also known as a "foxcoon") who produces raggacore and breakcore, often with noise influences. He used to produce ambient tracks before Aurastys was created, and occasionally produced noise music before ⇩LOAD was created. He sometimes incorporates vocals from existing popular music into his songs as well.

Renard also has existed as Emma's first fursona for a near-decade before transitioning to Emma Essex and DOWNLOAD.

On August 18th, 2015, Emma mentioned in a Reddit post that the character of Renard was unlikely to be heard from again. However, he did release a single, ''INSIDE 99999999999999999999999999999'', in July 2016, and the album ''SHOUNEN BASS! TURBO'' in April 2018.

->'''Gender:''' Unknown

A grey musk deer who fights with a deer crossing sign. Their work is characterized by the sound of clashing metal.

->'''Gender:''' Male

'''The Quick Brown Fox''' (often abbreviated to '''TQBF''') is a fox-shaped piñata that produces speedcore. He is recognized mostly for his staccato synth lines and very fast tempos, ranging from approximately 200 beats per minute up to and over 1000 beats per minute.

Emma has stated that the original driving force to creating the alias was inspiration from m1dy's speedcore productions and the generally upbeat or non-serious tone, which tends to be a stark contrast against speedcore's generally serious and angry tone. As such, TQBF is often seen as a good entry point for speedcore, as it is accessible, if not through melodic content, then through comedic.
* AnimateInanimateObject: He's a fox piñata.
* ShoutOut: His design strongly resembles the Pretztails from [[{{VideoGame/VivaPinata}} Viva Piñata]].
* WordOfGod: He and BANDETTO are in a canon relationship. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbXUrY-TGUo&t=264]]

->'''Gender:''' Male (formerly unknown)

* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He's strongly associated with a bluish-green.
* ArcNumber: His albums always have 8 tracks.
* GenreRoulette: Although he also does Trap, a majority of Truxton's works are mashups of existing songs.
* MixAndMatchCritter: More so than other hellhounds. He's mainly canine-like, but has cloven hooves and curled ram horns. He also has a long, tasseled tail, not unlike that of a bull.
* ShoutOut: His first and last names come from [[{{VideoGame/Truxton}} two]] [[{{VideoGame/Dogyuun}} shmups]].

->'''Members:''' Renard, Jackal Queenston
A duo comprised of Renard and Jackal Queenston, who produce anthem style drum and bass with influences from liquid [=DnB=] and trancestep, many times much happier than the other drum and bass alias Jackal Queenston. The Queenstons is also one of the few aliases that has original vocals, sung by Emma themselves.

->'''Members:''' "Everyone and no-one"
An alias (also abbreviated to '''HLA''') of unknown identity that produces experimental and impressionist pieces. They are described as "nobody" and "everybody" in terms of what members comprise it. Their subtitle is the "[[PsychicStarshipPilot aural psychonautical]] research division".
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: This alias is treated more like an omniscient entity than just a group of characters. Despite what the alias' album art depicts, HLA is not a group formed by Rotteen, Darius, and hyi. ''phwoa'' depicts what looks like new characters, but they are meant to be an abstract representation of the music. So there's really no concrete idea of what this division of Halley Labs looks like.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Doesn't actually have a physical one.

A trio of deer (also shortened to '''HHSU''') that produce hardcore ambiance. For information on the other members, see [[Characters/LapfoxTraxHalleyLabsOtherCharacters other characters.]]

HHSU is an affiliate group located within The Underground Garden below Halley Labs. However, Darius is responsible for remastering the sounds they produce.

* ViewersAreGeniuses: In the song levällään, the lyrics are In a seemingly unknown language. (exept the word Дарья, which Is In Russian) However, It's actually the phonetic library. The voice Is Bert Gortrax from {{Music/Chipspeech}}, and since Chipspeech supports the phonetic library, the lyrics are written In such.
