### PeeBee

**#05 / Familiar / Uncommon**

'PeeBee' the seagull met an unfortunate end when she was sucked into the jet engine of a WU&IO Airlines flight causing the plane to crash. Several passangers[sic] survived the incident and were later found by search & rescue, but information about their survival remains a mystery.

Artist: SpiralLakritz

### Cappy

**#014 / Familiar / Common**

Captain 'Cappy' The Capybara was yet another unfortunate soul who lost their life in a tragic accident due to the ceaseless negligence of WU&IO & their partner companies. After receiving a "sufficient" twenty minutes of training he was left to pilot a commercial flight solo. RIP.

Artist: SpiralLakritz

### Connie

**#017 / Familiar / Common**

Conductor 'Connie' was an extremely efficient worker who was known for being firm, but fair. Connie tragically lost their life in a train derailment crossing the Ouse Valley Viaduct which was rumoured to have been caused by WU&IO Rail Maintenance scheduling conflicts. RIP.

Artist: SpiralLakritz

### Chibi Ramon

**#0257 / Familiar / Uncommon**

After being forced out of his home, Ramon applied for a plethora of jobs. Unfortunately for him there aren’t many progressively minded employers in his home county of Gromlin. Except for the prestigious WU&IO Taxi App company who are more than happy to accept animal applicants.

Artist: Thatsugs

### Pioneertown Wilbur

**#030 / Hero / Rare**

During a trip to California, Wilbur payed a visit to Pioneertown & visited Pappy & Harriets, a classic American salloon bar & restuarant[sic]. The walls were covered in posters for loads of legendary Country musicians & Vampire Weekend. He thought it would be really cool to play here too.

Artist: Violet

### L'manburg Wilbur

**#031 / Hero / Rare**

For the second night of Lovejoy’s 2022 hometown Halloween weekender, Wilbur took to the stage wearing his infamous L’Manburg outfit. A nod to his days playing Minecraft online with his friends, of which one TommyInnit was in the audience dancing like a hooked fish.

Artist: Blackwood

### Anya Kabosu

**#035 / Hero / Rare**

For the second night of Lovejoy’s hometown Halloween weekender 2022, Ash dressed as Anya Forger, a character from his favourite Manga, ‘Spy Family’. Ash was initially costumed during a live stream with his best friend Aria ‘Ikari’, who designed the outfit for him to wear.

Artist: Blackwood

### Sad Mark

**#042 / Hero / Uncommon**

“Sad Mark.” originated as a photo from the music video shoot for ‘Normal People Things’, directed by Ted Nivision. Ash Kabosu found the image so endearing that he used it as a basis for an online competition, where 1000’s of entrants used it as their Twitter profile picture.

Artist: Liutenant Spruce

### Copper Golem

**#060 / Item / Common**

'Copper Golem' is a Troy Van Leeuwen Signature Fender Jazzmaster belonging to Joe Goldsmith. Van Leeuwen plays for Queens of The Stone Age & is one of Joe's all time favourite Guitarists. The name 'Copper Golem' is a tribute to a deleted Minecraft Mob from 2021.

Artist: SpiralLakritz

### Portrait Of A Blank Slate

**#088 / Spell / Uncommon**

The title 'Portrait Of A Blank Slate' refers to the default icon a user is given when first signing up to a social media platform. The song itself was almost scrapped until Ash & Mark begged relentlessly to keep working on it, as they were keen to take the music in a heavier direction.

Artist: Sketch

### Call Me What You Like

**#089 / Spell / Common**

Ash & Will conceptualised the 'Call Me What You Like' music video whilst sat together on a flight to LA in December 2022. The video was then planned, shot and edited independently within the space of 48 hours of this initial conversation & became their most complex video shoot to date.

Artist: PK Dann

### Warsaw

**#091 / Spell / Uncommon**

The entire band are big fans of the country of Poland, so to pay tribute to this they wrote the song 'Warsaw' which is the countries capital. The songs world debut was during the two live performances in Warsaw & Gdańsk on Lovejoy's Across The Pond Tour in 2022. Dziękuje!

Artist: Plagueislost

### Scum

**#092 / Spell / Uncommon**

Many different iterations of 'Scum' were written & recorded as demos during the months Lovejoy spent working on Wake Up & It's Over. The final version is an amalgamation of an early demo of 'Scum' & a bridge from another demo instrumental track called 'It Eats You Alive'.

Artist: Plagueislost

### Normal People Things

**#094 / Spell / Promotional**

Whilst a lot of Lovejoy's lyrics are anecdotal they are mostly shrouded in ambiguity. The bridge section of Normal People Things however is specifically referencing Wilbur's inability to shave without butchering his entire face. You'd think a guitar player would have better dexterity.
