Velvet (Vel for short) is a Hypernet Star and a musical legend, Vel makes music with pitch-perfectness that can rival that of Melody King Belphegor and Nekrødancer, as well as accompanying the Lads on many of their adventures. Having a long, and vastly unknown, history with her brother-friend (he is not a biological sibling, but the two have a bond stronger than being just friends) Hybrid, Vel is a very close member of the Lads and has worked her way into the hearts of (almost) all of them.

## Story

As with her bro-friend Hybrid, Velvet has a history that has been mostly lost to time (and mental capacity), however Velvet has an extraordinary memory, even compared to Hybrid, and simply refuses to elaborate on her past, especially when it comes to the how of meeting Hybrid. The other Lads have come to understand that these memories hold extreme pain to Velvet and avoid asking unless absolutely necessary. Velvet is more than happy to talk about her recent history though, and will often over-share in immense detail.

### A Rise To Glory

Velvet settled in with Hybrid in the Fortress an unknown amount of time ago, and in an unknown original location, and much the same as Hybrid, found her way onto the Hypernet. There, Velvet discovered she had a huge interest in music, and after listening to what must have been tens of thousands of different songs of many different genres and styles, Velvet began writing her own songs, both based on personal experiences, and her other interests.

While Hybrid made money with a camera (and whatever else his could get his hands on), Velvet got herself some cash by proof-reading, editing, recommending, and aiding bands on the Hypernet with lyrics of their songs, as well as occasionally their instruments and composure. Before long, Velvet got good at it.. really good. With enough money in her pockets, she bought herself a ton of equipment, from acoustic instruments to composing tech to electronic devices, and Vel tried her hand at making her own music.

Velvet's first album was not her greatest, but was certainly incredible for a beginner, the name of this album would later become her very online alias; "Phoenix". Velvet released another 4 albums before her star performance; [album name]. Featuring a lot of electronic songs and her now iconic glitching style, this album became the one that would bring her to fame, being a massive hit on the Hypernet. Velvet revelled in this stardom for 5 albums in multiple genres after her masterpiece, with Hybrid helping her keep the esteem from going to her helmet.

### A Fall From Grace

With two other bands rising up the ranks on the Hypernet as well; Melody King Belphegor and Nekrødancer, Velvet's own music began to get a little overshadowed, she certainly still had fans, but her turn in the spotlight was coming to an end. With this big event hitting her, she wasn't too prepared for her own creativity to begin to dwindle, she struggled to come up with new song ideas and uniqueness in her songs and she was suffering her it, fans weren't happy with her lack of output, and some newer songs even feeling repetitive. Above all however, were the events happening outside of the Hypernet, at this point, Thwaites had joined the Lads and they had all become enemies of the Crown, as well as the increasing threat of war, and eventually the arrival of Wrath. All of this caused Vel to disappear off of the Hypernet for a while.

## Powers, Abilities & Statistics

### Powers & Abilities

Sharing almost identical powers to Hybrid (on the surface), Vel hasn't got a particular uniqueness to brag about, however this does nothing to take away from her grandeur.
