Deuteronomy

deuteronomy (also known as DOWNLOAD or ⇩LOAD) is an alias under the Halley Labs label. They are a hellbat that produces compilations of noise music.
They were originally separate from the main label and their releases were on a separate Bandcamp page, which is no longer available.
deuteronomy's first appearance outside of the dedicated label was in the release notes for ИΣVΣRLAИD SØUИDGIRL$. However, their first official appearance was in Bon Voyage.
As Emma's fursona, deuteronomy's alternate name, DOWNLOAD, was taken from the duology of PC Engine and CD games and a shmup of the name.https://www.reddit.com/r/lapfoxtrax/comments/2b3vih/found_a_darius_game_the_only_reason_i_bought_it/cj1rgn1 deuteronomy's design from 2013 was made as a way to personify and sexualize Emma's own fears to lessen their effect on them. As such, the decision to make them a bat was based on stereotypical personality traits. As time passed, deuteronomy's design was toned down significantly and more effeminate, making them Emma's "casual" fursona.https://heckscaper.com/aminals/fursonaquiz/ 
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,https://twitter.com/HECKSCAPER/status/1204551977058918401 but the character was later entirely rebranded to this new name.

==Physiology==
==="Sludge"===
body's primary structural element. unidentifiable. changes phase through complex body temperature regulation. as such, it is highly reactive to emotional response.https://heckscaper.com/aminals/main/deuteronomy/
==="Flesh"===
it is sludge. the color is purely structural, resulting from the pattern in which the sludge solidifies. acts as a protective layer. it's kind of rough, so we also have a layer of:
==="Fur"===
it is sludge solidifying as millions of soft strands. assists in internal temperature stability and cuteness. length varies according to wants and needs. any coloration (hair) is achieved structurally.
==Biography==
===Old===
⇩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. https://web.archive.org/web/20150809074223/http://queenston.co.vu/post/46980443763
===Current===
they are actually made entirely of sludge, but they want nothing more than to be a bat. they were offered lodging at HALLEY LABS by an unnamed associate and have grown to appreciate a slower life after years of being a harsh noise musician in the abyss. during the snowy months, they "grow out" a fluffy winter coat and make thousands of snow angels.
== Trivia==
*Emma has tagged deuteronomy's albums on Bandcamp as murrzbow, a reference to the famous noise artist Masami Akita, also known as Merzbow (メルツバウ). "Murr" is an onomatopoeia used by the furry fandom for showing pleasure, usually in a sexual manner.
*According to Emma's blog, deuteronomy is a rejected code made of soul sludge. 
*It has been stated that deuteronomy is 5'8", with other references stating that they are 5'4". However, their most recent reference states that they are 5'5", 6'0" including the ears.
*deuteronomy's favorite drink is Hendrick's Gin and Laphroaig Quarter Cask.
*deuteronomy's alternate name, DOWNLOAD, is named after a shmup on the PC Engine (Turbo Graphix).
