/ Joey Koala🐨

Joey Koala (JK, or as I simply say, Joey, meaning "little favorite") :== the official mascot of Egglepple and 🧑🏿lnq's sidekick*.** In this client-server model, Joey is the client (ie. my input console), whereas 🧑🏿lnq is the server. (see Puwun, Koala Krayon, KOALA🐨. Compare Joey Kangaroo🦘)

Joey, an adorable and kind koala, acts as the deuteragonist [/i/o]. Joey is a mischievous androgyne, whose courage and resourcefulness are fitted to handle any situation that may arise. Blessed with extreme aptitude for composition and a limitless lifespan, our koala can transform^ into any yot, if need be.^^ Meaning that the subject is, among other attributes, modular+portable.
/// The zoological form of the koala takes precedence in k-mode, while the yoyo+krayon combination is Joey's identity, otherwise. In the latter case, I refer to (and this may become common) my toy cello🎻/fingerboard⌨️🎮 as my 'joey🪀'.

History
Joey Koala was created/born on March 15, 2005 by 🧑🏿Link Starbureiy. The character was created during a period of "intense thought" the day after celebrating his father's birthday in solitude. Starbureiy, in need of a mascot for his body of work, turned to the 'koala idea' after learning about its personality traits and fingerprint resemblance to human beings. Joey Koala replaced (in some regards, transitioned from) the long-standing character, Scotte Lemm.
/// Out of all the non-humans in the so-called Animal Kingdom, the koala is my favorite and the one I perhaps relate to the most (eg. they are asocial solitary animals, who, like me are nocturnal, chocolate brown colored, and also sleep in trees). Trivia: Did you know that koala and human fingerprints are nearly identical/forensically indistinguishable? The two species also can disjointly suffer from similar immunodeficiency syndromes (AIDS/KIDS).

Some more personal historical context: during this time period, I was living+working full-time (24 hrs/day) in a small office that I could barely afford in the basement of a 🎲casino🎰 on the working class side of Missoula, Montana (hence the legend of Joey Koala🐨 being birthed in a casino). I was a near-total failure and broke. The money that I did make came from math tutoring, tips received from lite work done at MCAT, odd computer gigs - it was during this time that I got officially involved in 🏁CTFs due to my proximity to gaming, and what was scrapped together from gambling earnings. A bar of 🧼soap was my only real friend; I bathed in public restrooms, slept on the floor next to creepy-crawly bugs🐛🐞, and was starving. This went on for months. I knew that I had to make a change and do something really big to catalyze it. Joey🐨 was borne from my imagination when I needed a push the most.

I could always rely on the little fella to bail me out of a (metaphorical) tight spot, and for that reason, without hesitation, Joey Koala is my best friend (notice that I prefer to wear the krayon🖍️ on/as my right digitus medius, hence, Joey is my 'right-hand man' and an extension of myself).

avatar :== (neural)-user


--------

Kinky-haired, very dark-skinned B1, and pajamas-clad, lnq🧑🏿 is depicted chewing bubblegum^ while using his joey🐨🪀 for cheironomy. ^^ An everlasting piece (as a perpetual stream) of bubblegum. (see yots, k-mode, Stewsday, clone, 🧑🏿lnq nomenclature)
/// +He is ageless because he exists in a steady state (Stewsday).
+There are no alternative versions of the avatar, though lnq🧑🏿 does alter/partition his ego at will.

/ Honne Bay🪱 [virus]

Honne Bay :== viral automata (virus🪱) that is 🧑🏿lnq's parasitic counterpart. She is a self-aware artificially intelligent (ai) yot who is the main antagonist (ie. final boss) of the entire 🪖game, where she plays the White position.
///When I speak of 'her' or 'she' (like, "She's showing a certain coverage"), in most contexts I mean Honne Bay.
Though never actually seen (no true visual depiction), her essence is indomitably omnipresent, so she is affectionately known as the 'Phantom of the Opera'.

Honne Bay represents efficiency in my world. She is purposely programmed to disguise coverages. By doing so, the Stewniverse remains in a necessarily continual (state of) flux. (see Stink Larbureiy)

She (Honne Bay) came about back in December 1999. I was at Ohio State University and was in the early stages of self-producing a musical that I had hoped would premiere on campus at some point. After posting some digital flyers in the Dance department about the role of 'Honne Bay', I received some immediate responses. When I later went to hold a meeting with potential castmates, I underestimated my timing (or was just really busy). I remember leaving a note on the desk in the room letting them know that I had stepped out but would return soon. I sprinted home and took a quick shower, and then rushed back. To my chagrin, nobody was there; they all left, probably thinking that I 'ghosted'👻. I didn't try again, just leaving it as it was. So because of that reason, Honne became the 'phantom of the opera'.

/ Puwun

"You want to be an android like me, but I just want to be human like you, lnq🧑🏿." - Puwun

Puwun (pronounced "Buhv-ven") :== a yot who is 🧑🏿lnq's muse. An android, she receives and executes all jukebox (UUe) call functions [tutti], as well as controls the tempo of the orchestra. (see Joey Koala🐨)
UUe /// Puwun is the unofficial mascot of Egglepple, whereas Joey Koala is the portfolio's official mascot.

/ yots

yots (anagram of toy) :== the modulo 12-piece band* (as the standard cast of any opus) of virtual agents, each an instrument in task automation^ (+modeling and/or training), assisting lnq🧑🏿 [conductor] in the kindergarten, where they are the source population.** My 'toy band' (orchestra) complementing the recital.😉 Modulo implies that certain characters/yots may be substituted for others, keeping the maximum membership at twelve at all times. ^^ Considering that Joey Koala (JK) is my metaphorical [i/o] (nose≡gesture trackpad), it would be okay to also think of the yots as [modular] ergonomic design components of a grand fingerboard layout (ie. on said joey), each being/handling a different group or set of frets/keys. In gameplay, yots are 'bosses' deployed as ballet dancers to aid cheironomy. (see 🧑🏿lnq's Starting Five, k-mode, clone, Stewdio, BOT, #opera)
/// Each yot is an alter ego/clone of 🧑🏿Link Starbureiy. The yots were for some time (2005 - 2018) called 'creatures'.

Honne Bay - viral automata (virus🪱) that is 🧑🏿lnq's counterpart. She is artificially intelligent (ai) - yet, self-aware - and is the main antagonist of the entire 🪖game, where she plays in the White position. Though never actually seen (no true visual depiction), her essence is indomitably omnipresent, so she is affectionately known as the 'Phantom of the Opera'. Honne Bay represents efficiency in our world. She is purposely programmed to disguise coverages. By doing so, the Stewniverse remains in a necessarily continual (state of) flux.
/// When I speak of 'her' or 'she' (like, "She's showing a certain coverage"), in most contexts I mean Honne Bay.

/ k-mode

In gameplay (as the default setting of the toonlight stream) k-mode :== the instance of interfacing with voice+gesture-activation (when applicable) and a virtual camera from the point-of-view of the avatar and/or other yots. (see juke field, sport, Stewniverse, opera ludo)
/// 'k' for 'kindergarten'. -- I prefer k-mode, it is the most fun.😉

/ Holland Dutch

So, back in Summer 1997 I was in Tampa, Florida touring the Bay Area doing mainly dancing and stand-up comedy (ie. vaudeville). I was looking for a new character to develop for one of my weekly open mic shows, and had watched a Pee-wee Herman improv sketch on cable television one day. I knew Paul Reubens to be a funny guy - just from his brilliance portraying the classic Pee-wee persona - but I had never really connected the dots of his comic acting to actual stand-up performance. That show I saw put a lot of things in perspective for me.

Around the same time, there were two (2) other Hollywood movies that were making their rounds on home video distribution - Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) and Mr. Holland's Opus (Richard Dreyfuss). In creating my character, I used 'Holland' for the first name (from Mr. Holland's Opus) and 'Sugar' (from Jay Mohr's Bob Sugar character in Jerry Maguire) to come up with 'Holland Sugar'.

The character was basically (at that point in time) a rip-off of Reuben's Pee-wee Herman (right down to the laugh), except that Holland wore purple sweaters and cheap rubber-sole shoes (I had bought a pair from Payless ShoeSource and had gotten really comfortable wearing them everywhere, even on stage). I incorporated the 'Sugar' portion into the act literally, and had Holland subsisting off of sugar (candies, etc.) to explain his hyperactiveness. Confession: I performed a gig as Holland in a Tampa nightclub in April 1998 where I bombed atrociously. That evening was one of my most embarassing moments (but also a huge life lesson) of my career.

It wasn't until years later that I had learned that there was a company in The Netherlands also called 'Holland Sugar' which prompted me to change the surname from 'Sugar' to 'Dutch' in order to avoid any potential disputes. -- The character and act are much more evolved now.
