Tone (Classic)

## Tone

  – **Tone'**s first words to **The Necro Crew**.

**Tone** is a major protagonist in the **Lover's Stadium series**. Hailing from a timeline in which a zombie apocalypse occurred (nicknamed "Madvillain"), Tone was killed but later resurrected. However, he was changed. His skin became an outfit, and he retained his consciousness, which was rare during the zombie outbreak. Later, he would eventually be transported to the **Integrated Timeline** and join **The Necro Crew** after becoming friends with them during The Combat Tournament. Since then, he has become a hero, helping to stop cartoon villains and trying to return to his native timeline to save his dying world.

## **Appearance**

Nothing is known about what Tone looked like before zombification, as his origins begin with his being resurrected. His pictures of himself were left in the Apocaplyse Timeline because of how he was transported to the Integrated Timeline. Regardless, according to varying accounts, how he looks now is much better, one of which is himself.

When he was zombified, his body was altered so much that his " suit " was his skin, even the gloves and shoes. They were allegedly grafted onto his body, which both Tucker Foley and Dexter have confirmed. He is relatively short, at 5'5" and weighing under 130. His skin is pure white, almost like looking at a blank document on a computer, as are his eyes; the only things having color are his hands and feet.

On his forehead is a lightning bolt cut out, showcasing the layer of skin underneath, which is green to highlight the internal decay that he previously had. His chest has a rather large, jagged red exclamation point on it. His hair is parted on the left, flowing naturally to the right, but it is relatively long, so sometimes his part isn't noticeable. Interestingly, Tone's hair color is an oddity. He has naturally black hair but with white streaks between the brown strands, giving it a salt-and-pepper look even though he is in his twenties. Danny Phantom theorized that this was a result of his zombification.

Sometimes, Tone will wear a leather jacket with the same exclamation point on the back, created by Tucker, who claimed it was "good to theme." While Tone does wear it often, he will sometimes lose it.

## **Attributes**

### **Alpha Zombie | Undead Omega Subject 01**

Tone isn't a conventional zombie. He died due to an accident but was made into a zombie by a scientist named Dr. Pearl, who wished to see how far one could go as a zombie. This idea resulted in her utilizing both magic and science to create the Tone that is currently present. As a result, Tone is one of the most powerful zombies in the Apocalypse Timeline and the second most mighty zombie in the Integrated Timeline.

As an Alpha Zombie, a term coined by Dr. Pearl, Tone has many abilities, such as manipulating his body to remove limbs and use them as weapons. He is immortal as he can no longer physically age and can't be killed unless it's by another Alpha Zombie (I.e., Nemesis). Tone doesn't need to eat to survive but likes to eat regular human food because it reminds him of being alive. As his body's inhibitions are removed as he is dead and brought back by magic, Tone has incredible physic; he is strong enough to throw cars and can't seemingly get physically tired anymore.

Another unique ability specifically for Tone is that he can save people from the brink of death by turning them into an Alpha Zombie by biting them. When turned into an Alpha Zombie by Tone, they are not subservient to Tone or sired; they are simply undead and have all their faculties.

### **Abilities**

Tone, before zombification, was a gifted artist and teacher. While working at Blockbuster, he worked as a daycare teacher during the day. He often taught his co-workers at Blockbuster things about History and Science, to the point that he even tutored some of his younger co-workers through their high school homework. Tone was often told that he should get his teaching certificate and was planning on it, but then he died and became an Alpha Zombie moments before taking the teaching exam.

Outside of this, Tone is highly perceptive. He figured out that The Necro Crew were from an alternate timeline, like himself before he met them because he was people-watching. Later, Tone told Milo, during his race with Racer X and Speed Racer, that Snake Oil was cheating and talked him through what the DeLorean could do to shut Snake Oil down.

## **Other Appearances**

### **Donuts**

In the sister server to Lover's Stadium, **Donuts**, there is a predecessor to Tone named Falco Floyd. He is a young Russian man who turned into a ghost after dying. While Falco mirrored more of Danny Phantom than anything, the concept was carried over and expanded upon in Lover's Stadium.

## **Trivia**

* Tone can play the drums
* He collects books from before the apocalypse
* He likes to skateboard
* He was into journalism and photography, he still takes photos of his world, wanting to be someone who documents their time
* He used to do gymnastics and still uses those skills to practice
* He carries a deck of cards and enjoys playing poker, solitaire, and spades
* Tone keeps a collection of items before the apocalypse; his collection ranging from cash, stamps, books, movies, clothing, etc.
* Tone has a pet snake that hides in his jacket named Noodle, which is a 3 ft Piebald Ball Python

## **Creation Notes**

The idea of Tone came from Tony, the creator, as a joke at first (a theme with creators here). However, the more Tony thought of the character, the more he began to take form. Eventually, it led to the creation of the Apocalypse Timeline, which is now a significant part of Lover's Stadium.

The idea of what the character looks like came from Morpheus, who was pitching designs at him. Tony picked the current look because it reminded him of David Bowie, one of his favorite artists and that ended up being the definitive look for Tone.
