Lamp Street

## LampooneryStreet (LampStreet)

LampStreet's current skin

*"There was a time before everything that exists right now, a time before the Wheat Kingdom. And despite the fact that it had never existed before in the history of anything, it still came to be. Because there was the potential, the opportunity for it to exist. Even if the day comes where the Wheat Kingdom is gone, it's not really gone. There will still be its potential that it first came from, and Lakultmel will help build it back up from there. And if the potential were to ever be lost, Lakultmel would make it again."*

*(LampStreet to Colonial after their second meeting in Lakultmel (paraphrased))*

## Biography

LampooneryStreet CorpseHusband, though much more commonly known as Lamp or "LampStreet" spawned into SMParadox in October as one of the first 50. She is the de facto leader of the Lakultmel Rangers, and has an interest in biology.

## Physiology

### Appearance

LampStreet wears a pair of large brown sunglasses, yellow-stripe boots, and a short -sleeve turtleneck. One of the shirt's original sleeves was cut off and replaced by Lamp with one that matched the pattern of the Lakultmel flag. On the same arm as the modified sleeve, Lamp wears a long fingerless glove that goes up to their shoulder.

Lamp's skin is bright white and covered in small soft scales. She has black eyes with red pupils/irises and her face has markings around her eyes reminiscent of ghast tears. Her hair is short and grey, worn loose. Lastly, Lamp has a pair of large black antennae.

### Biology

Lamp is some sort of moth creature, and not at all human or mamallian. She has a pair of rather pronounced fangs that seem to indicate she is some sort of Micropterigid (a group of moths that keep their mandibles even in adulthood instead of developing a proboscis). She has black eyes with red pupils. This paired with her "tear-like" markings on her face seem to imply some sort of relation to ghasts as well, or at the very least ties with the nether. The purpose of these facial markings may in fact be to imitate the look of a ghast to confuse/scare possible threats. Lamp also has two large black antennae that she uses to smell, taste, and touch things.

Lamp may or may not be naturally nocturnal, however she prefers to sleep during the day and wake at night due to her sensitivity to light. As of recent, she has changed her scheduled to be more diurnal, and has not really seen any difference in the two. This is likely because the nether does not have a day/night to it or any routine changes in lighting.

The only other ties besides aesthetic that link LampStreet to ghasts seems to be that smoke has little effect on her lungs. This may just be a common netherian trait though. There's quite a lot of fire in the nether.

## Personality

LampStreet is typically a creature of habit, and while she's not opposed to exploring, she's more comfortable staying in Lakultmel. She's loyal and does not easily break a promise or resign from a commitment. If need be she will get out of her comfort zone to keep it. Lamp sees the value in teamwork, understands there is strength in numbers, and does not mind asking for help. They are eager to give back to the community as well.

She is a bit of a pacifist and is willing to jump through a lot of hoops just to avoid violent conflicts. That said, she's come to learn that it is important for people to be able to protect themselves and is an advocate for learning self-defense.

Lamp would rather not pry into other's matters, and instead wait for them to reach out for help. However after seeing the issues in the Wheat Kingdom they've learned that sometimes people need help but do not know how to ask for it.

## History

**Entering the SMP**

LampooneryStreet CorpseHusband spawned fully formed into SMParadox as one of the First 50 on October 31st as a glitch. She did not exist in any place, plane, or universe before this. On her first day Lampoonery built the community portal, though it has since been modified (on the overworld side) by other members. Although her full name is Lampoonery Street, she opted to go by just "LampStreet" or "Lamp" as that was shorter and more fitting. She set up a house in a fractured hill in a quiet forest by the sea. This area was soon to become the future location of the town of Lakultmel.

**Beginning and Founding of Lakultmel**

Seeing the rapid building and changing of the server's landscape, she wanted to ensure that no matter how much they are near spawn developed and was built on, there would be a place nearby to see nature. And so LampStreet started Lakultmel, an organization/community located in a spruce biome north of spawn. She got others to join her in her cause as well. Since starting it, she's spent most of her time focused on Lakultmel and nothing else. She built the wall and designed the flag/banner. At some point she even tore off a sleeve from the shirt she spawned in and replaced it with one that's pattern matched the flag. Because of course this bitch quite literally wears her heart on her sleeve.

**The Party**

The night before the party, LampStreet made shields for all of the rangers to bring, and was herself excited to go. Unfortunately right before she was to leave, while making a few adjustments to the wall, a brick fell on her face and she was unable to attend. The brick broke the lenses of her sunglasses, and so she had to replace them with brown ones.

**The Treaty Debacle**

While Lamp directed the rangers quite a bit, it was only until meeting with Vibez that she decided to make it official(?) that she was the leader of Lakultmel. She still stresses that Lakultmel would not be what it is without the other members' work and that she greatly values their judgement on any and all matters. The position is mainly for the purpose of having a representative for interfactional relations. Shortly after meeting Vibez, they met again to make a treaty between Lakultmel and the Wheat Kingdom. Tomie and Colonial where there to see the signing of the treaty.

A day later, an unsigned letter appeared in Lamp's mailbox claiming to be from Vibez. The letter said that Vibez no longer wished to be allied with Lakultmel. Lamp wrote a letter titled "Alr then ig" suggesting that Vibez reconsider but she would respect her decision if she still thought she didn't want the alliance. Lamp had Tomie deliver this letter to Vibez. Vibez then later responded with a signed letter named "WAIT A MINUTE" explaining that she did NOT send that letter, and she thinks something is up. Lamp and Vibez planned on arranging a meeting to discuss the issue, however Lamp wasn't able to find a time to do it (translation, I couldn't VC for a whole month and this had an impact on the plot yay we love it here). Lamp was however able to hold one meeting with Lakultmel Rangers to discuss the issue. There was not much information to work with except that whoever did this either wanted to conquer Lakultmel and/or the Wheat Kingdom, or they had a vendetta against Vibez and/or LampStreet. As time went on and nothing else happened in Lakultmel it seemed more likely the person was after Vibez and/or the kingdom.

Eventually the issue was resolved, when before leaving for vacation, Vibez told Lamp that it was probably Tomie who did it.

**Vibez's Departure**

After Vibez left for vacation, LampStreet thought it would be good to start check in on the substitute king, Colonial. Colonial and Lamp hold a meeting, during the meeting she asks Colonial if he knows anything about Tomie and Colonial has her sign a second treaty explicitly promising that Lakultmel would assist the Wheat Kingdom if it were under siege. Before the meeting ends, Colonial gives LampStreet a tour of the Wheat Kingdom. The wheat is dying, and there are broken bottles of alcohol EVERYWHERE. Colonial also shows Lamp that he's built a tavern She is able to put two and two together and realize that Colonial probably has a drinking problem. Lamp is also able to get some information about Tomie, that they have a grudge against Vbez for some reason and will pose a threat to anyone who stands in the way of them harming Vibez.

**Ranger Center Grand Opening**

For the past few months, Lamp had been steadily working on Lakultmel's first public building, the Ranger Center. On the day of February 15th 2021, a grand opening party/meeting was held with most of the members of Lakultmel and volunteers. Those present were LampStreet, Sceramouch, Parallax, Apocalyptic Angel, and Ainsley. Lamp toured everyone around the Center, explaining the functions of certain floors/areas, and then held a meeting to update on any news/ideas for projects. This included Lamp's concern about Colonial's drinking habits. Parallax responded saying that he knew Colonial well and knew of his drinking habits. Parallax tries to prevent Lamp and the other members from delving into the issue (and subsequently discovering that Colonial has taken the Wheat Kingdom by force) by promising to deal with him. He claims he'll clean the glass and talk to Colonial about his alcohol dependency. Parallax also says that it would be wise not to tell Vibez about this as she has been having issues with her mental health, and this would only add to her stress.

**A Substitute for the Substitute**

Despite Parallax's claim to help Colonial, Lamp still finds glass on the ground and the wheat only getting worse. She decides she needs to take matters into her own hands, and writes to Colonial saying that he needs to step down as king of the Wheat Kingdom immediately so that he can focus on taking care of himself. On February 22nd, 2022, they hold a meeting to discuss this. Colonial expresses that he is opposed to this idea immediately. Under more scrutiny of his health, Lamp, ever the dumbass, recalls that "wait weren't you a fucking ghost 4 months ago?" which should have been more obvious sooner, and this may be the reason for Colonial's poor health. This only further convinces Lamp that Colonial can NOT continue to manage the kingdom. As Lamp tries to reason with Colonial he only grows more and more irate, saying that he doesn't care what happens to the Kingdom as long as it's *his*. He would rather the kingdom go down with him than get "better".

His subtle threats build up until he is leveling a netherite sword at LampStreet's face, admitting that he scared off Durr and Vibez from ever returning to the Kingdom, and that he will kill anyone else who dares to try and take the throne from him. Any sign of rebellion would be met with violence. Colonial also flaunts that he is allied with the factions of Kilesto and Limeros who will come to his aid to maintain his power. At this point, with no armor on, and nobody to nearby to come to her aid, LampStreet stays quiet and says she won't try to rebel against Colonial, claiming that the Wheat Kingdom could be caught in the collateral if Lakultmel were to start a conflict to restore Vibez's power, and that Lakultmel was not made for fighting or self defense. In reality Lamp has more indirect plans for how to go about stripping away Colonial's power, but she of course keeps that to herself.

After Colonial leaves, Lamp finds Lamb101 and tells her about what just happened. They decide that to stop Colonial they'll need more information and go to the Wheat Kingdom with invis for reconnaissance. After snooping around what they believe is Colonial's tower, they find a few letters written by Durr addressed to Vibez about Colonial's revival, one before, and one after. In the first one Durr expressed her concern that something bad might happen, and the second one revealing that Vibez was in a coma for at least a few days. From there, Lamp starts to build a collection of information on Colonial's revival and his supposed "allies".

**The Kinda-Sorta Wheat Kingdom War**

**Meeting Stixx**

After notifying all of members of Lakultmel about the issue, Lamp leads the rangers to the Wheat Kingdom to see if they can aid any of the citizens there. Colonial is there, though he's opposed to their visit he doesn't do anything to stop the group (most likely realizing he's outnumbered), merely insisting that most people have left the Kingdom and the rest don't mind it here. Most houses do appear empty/abandoned; however, one is occupied by a demon named Stixx. Stixx upon first impression appears incredibly distraught at living under Colonial's rule, their close are messy and they have bags under their eyes. They also appeared to have a low self esteem. The rangers offer to let Stixx move out of the kingdom for the time being and live in Lakultmel instead, however Stixx refuses. Colonial also tries to convince the rangers that Stixx is happy in the Kingdom although it is very clear this isn't true.

After a bit, Lamp pulls Colonial away from the rest of the group to talk in private. She offers once again for him to just quit these shenanigans and get actual help, because he's just going to run the kingdom into the ground. Colonial states once again, that he doesn't care, and he would enjoy taking down the Wheat Kingdom with him. They also do this thing where they keep building bigger and bigger towers to stand on but thats irrelevant. Colonial also offers to have Lamp give Lakultmel to Colonial so they can both be more powerful which Lamp finds hilariously stupid. After more negotiation, Colonial agrees to let the citizens of Lakultmel help tend to the wheat so it doesn't die.

After Lamp gives this news everyone returns to Lakultmel, except for Angel, who said she wanted to talk to Stixx more...

**LampStreet Conducts Worst Diplomatic Meeting Ever Is Asked to Leave Limeros**

On March 1st, 2022, Lamp and Sceramouch visit the Mesto, the leader of Limeros and alleged ally of Colonial. The only problem is, Mesto doesn't really like sudden unprompted meetings unless it is an emergency (although Lamp would consider a situation like this an emergency) and Lamp ends up giving a bad impression. Nevertheless, Mesto hears what the two have come here to say. Lamp tells Mesto that Colonial is NOT the rightful owner of the Wheat Kingdom, and that it belongs to Vibez who is currently on a mental health break and can't come back yet to reclaim the throne. Mesto is doubtful that he somehow struck an alliance with a tyrant without knowing it. He says as much, and that if Lamp is lying they, and Lakultmel will be in big trouble.

Lamp figures out a way to prove to Mesto Colonial's corruption and also provide him with an incentive to help dethrone him. She offers to send a letter to Vibez asking her to write a letter to Mesto stating he will be king of the Wheat Kingdom temporarily. When Mesto shows this letter to Colonial and asks him to stand down, Colonial will either accept Mesto as king or be forced to show his true colors. It's not an ideal plan in Lamp's head, but the meeting already started on the wrong foot and Mesto seemed to believe her less and less. At the very least if Mesto took over the Wheat Kingdom and ALSO refused to give it back to Vibez when she returned, at least it'd be an idiot who doesn't even research who he chose to align himself with. And that is someone who is probably much easier to defeat than a bitter man with like 50 kidney problems. Mesto agrees with the idea and tells Scera and Lamp that next time they need to make an appointment to meet with him (spoiler warning: LampStreet never does that ever).

After this meeting, Lamp would later go on to write a letter to Mesto, requesting in the event that Mesto becomes wholly convinced that Lakultmel was trying to trick Mesto, Lamp would be the only one to receive punishment for it.

**Investigating Colonial's Revival Site with the WORST TOUR GUIDE POSSIBLE (it's c!parallax)**

After exchanging a few letters about the situation, Parallax asks to meet Lamp to discuss Colonial. Parallax rehashes that Vibez is in no state to return to the Wheat Kingdom. When Lamp asks Parallax why Durr hasn't come back or tried to contact Lakultmel he says that he hasn't seen Durr in at least two weeks which is particularly odd. Lamp also asks Parallax if he knows anything about Colonial's revival (where it was held, who was there, how was it done, when was it done etc...), to which Parallax provides very little information, but says he can show her where Colonial had been revived. Though Parallax insists there isn't much of the revival machine left, Lamp is still adamant to go see it. After a bit of snooping around, there appears to be nothing besides a mossy crater with scrap metal and roses littered about. That is until Lamp finds a small room carved into the crater's walls, hidden behind one of colonial's flags...

After a few days, Lamp starts making missing posters for Durrgonz with a reward of 100 diamonds.

## Trivia

Although LampStreet was born from a glitch in the server, she has no idea of this and believes that the reason she has no memories from before SMParadox is due to amnesia. Despite this, she has never exhibited any interest in trying to find out where she may have come from. She did not realize her lack of memory wasn't normal until Lakultmel had been well established. And at that point, she was worried that if she went and learned about her past, she would feel torn between the people/role she knew before, and the one she has now.

LampStreet streams SMParadox lore on twitch under the same username. She also makes youtube videos, though less frequently and not pertaining to the SMParadox story.
