SYDNEY
3SVM;) music director. Frequent performance substitute, maker of suspiciously unofficial 4SVM;) merch, and the person behind Ear to the Wall Records.
The world around 3SVM;)
IT WAS
NEVER JUST
A BAND.
The weirdness is real. Nobody treats it that way. That is generally when things get worse.
Band manager / professional complication
HEXY.
3SVM;)’s manager. Humanoid black cat. Flirtatious sparring partner. Never punches—only blocks, dodges, and occasionally kisses. Yes, Hexy Baby is a different cat.
HARPER
Skyler’s living shadow and darker extension. Accepted by the crew. More useful in physical form. Less interested in restraint.
HEXY
BABY
“I am vengeance.” The ordinary black-cat version. Band-adjacent security, probable management, and frequent witness. Not the humanoid Hexy.
MEEKS
THE FERRET
White female ferret. Emotionally supports Nova and enthusiastically admires Hexy, who remains guarded.
ROTI
Pastel-blue late-70s cube van. Transportation, hideout, and somehow one of the more stable members of the operation.
COCOBOT
Owner of the CoCoBots coffee franchise. Often gets Tomeka’s name wrong despite, presumably, having access to the order system.
MANGO
JET
Engineer from further down the timeline. Builds the machines that make tomorrow’s problems arrive early.
