The **Lava Gang** is a group of multidimensional anarchists who reside in the Voidway. They exist to create without bounds or limitations, and to cause havoc and chaos on those who oppress freedom of creation. Founded by former TrashHandler employees, their numbers are unknown but spread across universes.

## Description

Lava Gang are anarchists whose goal is endless creativity without restraint. They use their advanced knowledge to experiment and tinker with various universes to fulfill their whimsies. Their members are wanderers who wreaked havoc on their own reality, such as the Avatar. They keep track of individuals who fit their goals and skills, and contact them remotely. If they can prove themselves, they are invited to the Voidway to join the ranks of Lava Gang.

The only known members of Lava Gang are Jimmy and the Avatar, as well as two unknown founders, known only by their TrashHandler IDs - TH-101138 and TH-050255. Many other members exist but have not been named.

Lava Gang possesses extensive knowledge on the operation and functions of the Void and gateways.

## History

> "*I am so tired of cleaning up this fantasy stuff, can't we just cleanse it all with lava and restart?"
> "Cleanse it with lava, rebuild from scratch, let us create stuff sometimes too."
> "Yeah maybe we should get a Creation Day where us TrashHandlers get to create whatever random stuff we want? Going to be a lot more lava that's for sure"
> Lava gang roll in, break things, melt stuff, clean up, sign off!*"

Lava Gang originated as a group of TrashHandlers who were assigned to the Heaven's Reach observation sector. Bored with their mundane jobs and annoyed at the inefficiency of the cleaning processes, wishing to "wipe it all clean with lava", two TrashHandlers speculated on a day in which all mundane employees were allowed to create anything they desired. They decided to use spare FantasyLand assets to build whatever they wanted.

Lava Gang at some point ascended to the Voidway. Due to the recursive nature of time in the Voidway, they now existed at points before their own founding. For instance, they left items for Arthur Ford, despite the fact that his ascension occured before the founding of Lava Gang. They also recruited additional members, including Jimmy and the Avatar, from various simulations and realities across the multiverse.

At some point, Lava Gang detected "something hostile" in the Voidway. Many members argued on how to handle the threat - some wanted an army of various kinds. Jimmy felt that builders and creators were needed, and recruited various 'callers', including the Avatar, to help.

## Trivia

* There is a real-world Lava Gang Twitter account, which posts non-canon statements on the Voidway.
* In the ending of BONELAB, it is possible to go behind the column and find a link to a website, which redirects to a canon Lava Gang discord server.
