The main story

Henry Fletcher is a theorist and is very serious and over the top about his beliefs and theories, most of those theories involve aliens and creatures that aren’t animal or human.

Henry has built and created many different devices to help aid him in his findings and to help him learn more about extraterrestrials, these devices include things like language translators and trackers. Specifically a telephone he modified to pick up signals from and speak with other life forms.

One night as he was doing his research, his trackers begin showing him something and he begins picking up signals, he discovers that these are being sent by a group of unknown, alien type creatures (these characters are all based on Lemon Demon and Trapezoid albums) to try and learn more about humans. Soon after they established Henry’s location, they crash land in his backyard.

Henry tries to learn as much as he can about them, and they try to learn as much as they can about Henry, and they are forced to figure out how to live and be acquainted with each other.

About them

Clown Circus

This is Hazel, a circus clown monster. He’s mischievous, goofy, stubborn and loves to mess with people, but is overall harmless and mostly has good intentions. He enjoys music, bowling, playing with/setting things on fire, and making lemonade.

(He would sound like Sal J. Beauregarde from Spookyville USA. I think Sal’s voice and personality fit him well)

Based on:

Hazel’s Modus Operandi

Fire Motif

Bowling Alley

Wrong

Lemon Demon

Don’t Be Like the Sun

Likes warm weather and going outside, but doesn’t like the sun, thinks he’s mean even though he hasn’t even met him

Thinks everyone else is wrong, if he believes it, it must be true
Good friends with Ozzy (Live from the Haunted Candle Shop) despite their different personalities

Distant cousins with Raymond (Nature Tapes). He is his 7th cousin

He is very good at making lemonade

Loves playing with fire and setting things on fire. He mostly does it just for fun with no ill intentions, but that’s most of the time and not all of the time. People have a very hard time trusting him around matches and lighters
Loves computers, always enjoys messing around and making little goofy animations

Often has very weird dreams, which could be on account of him frequently eating large quantities of candy before bed and just in general.

He likes to tell people about his dreams but doesn’t understand that nobody thinks other people’s dreams are as interesting as they do

Thinks praying mantises are really awesome and wants one as a pet

Naturally, as a circus clown, he loves things like circuses and carnivals

Stays up until the very early hours of the morning most of the time, doesn’t like sleep that much

Live From the Haunted Candle Shop

This is Ozzy, a cyclops alien from the planet of Oz. He is friendly and easy to talk with. He has the mind similar to a child, but ever so slightly more literate. He likes candles, boats, and has a bad fear of monkeys.

(His voice would probably sound like Jake O’Brien from Spookyville USA, it makes sense to me. His personality would be like Double D from Ed, Edd ‘n Eddy, but a little less shy, and less smart. That’s what I imagine)

Also, this absolutely needed to be put somewhere here.

Look at him!!! →

Based on:

Oz Explodes

Switzerland

Boat

Party on the Moon

Fiberglass Monkey

He was born on the planet of Oz. He’s very proud to be from there and loves to tell stories about his home planet

He bathes in dirt from the moon and other dusts from things in space, similar to how chinchillas roll around in dust to clean themselves
Can be rather neurotic in certain circumstances
Good friends with Hazel (Clown Circus) despite their different personalities

He loves Switzerland, so much so that he began learning German, as it’s one of their main languages

Scared of monkeys

Fond of boats, thinks they are one of the best ways of travelling, next to spaceships

Candle making has been a very big thing within his family for years, his family owns a candle shop back on Oz

He loves candles, not for their smell or anything like that, he just thinks they’re neat. He also enjoys making them

Very fond of the moon, has been there many times

Hip to the Javabean

This is Albert, a pillow monster. He’s a grumpy elderly curmudgeon with very little to no patience for anyone or anything, he very much values his time alone. He enjoys sleeping, coffee, and sleeping some more.

Based on:

Telekinesis

Relativity

I Know Your Name

Consumer Whore

Behold the FUTURE

Friends with Alec (Damn Skippy). Even though Alec is young, joyous and optimistic, Albert can actually bare, and even sometimes enjoys being around him

Him and Alec both have the nickname “Al”, it’s mostly used when referring to Alec, but they (mostly Hazel, Ray, and Goodsie) occasionally call Albert “Al” to mess with the both of them

Has telekinetic powers, always uses them to his advantage.

Can read people’s minds and see their future, but doesn’t often. He knows how important and special this ability is, but he rarely uses it out of spite for everyone who wants to see their future

Can correctly guess people’s names just by looking at them

Hates the consumerism of modern day society, along with that, he hates the new generation of people, along with THAT, he just hates everything

Very fond of Albert Einstein

Damn Skippy

This is Alec, a tiki monster. He’s optimistic, friendly, childlike yet mature, and is always open to giving people (sometimes helpful) advice. He likes colouring, the rain, cookies, and being outside no matter the weather conditions.

(His voice would probably sound like Neil’s voice, from the Trapezoid - very early Lemon Demon era)

Based on all Damn Skippy songs, but mostly:

Flamingo Legs

Sky Is Not Blue

Ode to Crayola

What Will Happen Will Happen

Dizziful Bliss

The Ceiling

Friends with Albert (Hip to the Javabean). He thinks Albert is very wise and very much enjoys his company. He looks up to him in a way
He is very curious, asks questions often. He loves learning
Thinks people who are different from him are very interesting, he loves to know more about things and people he’s not familiar with. Difference fascinates him.

Colourblind, but is in denial about it. Is very certain that the colours he sees are correct

His tail is alive and can move freely while still being attached, but doesn’t speak. His name is Barnabus

Has had sea monkeys before and took incredibly good care of them. He often talks about them, fondly and sentimentally

Thoroughly enjoys looking up at the ceiling and trying to find shapes within the plaster. He does the same with the sky and the clouds and stars

Loves getting dizzy, specifically by spinning around in wheely desk chairs

Loves all kinds of weather, especially both very rainy days and very sunny days

View-Monster

This is Wally, a large, dark, spooky gangly View-Monster, concealed by an orange hazmat suit. He’s mostly friendly, a little awkward, but enjoys giving people a good scare. He likes afternoons, things that glow, and Calvin and Hobbes.

(His personality is kinda like all of the Xtacles on Frisky Dingo, and I think he would sound like them too. I know how goofy that is but it’s what I feel fits)

Based on:

The Man in Stripes and Glasses

The Afternoon

Nightmare Fuel

Bill Watterson

Something Glowing

Amnesia Was Her Name

Being a Rock Star

Can shape shift into different, gross shapes, and loves scaring people with that ability

Had an infatuation with a girl named Amnesia once, he now hates the word ‘amnesia’, due to the many things he associates it with, including crippling memory loss

Loves Calvin and Hobbes, and because of his love for the comic, he developed a large affinity for Bill Watterson, having an obsessive, almost parasocial relationship with him

Hates modern pop stars and rock stars, along with their music, but mostly just them as people

Almanac 2009 & Live (Only Not)

This is Al (Almanac 2009) and Elvis (Live (Only Not)). They are always together. Al is quiet and well-behaved, and Elvis is rowdy and mischievous. Elvis is always looking for adventure, and Al just goes along with his buddy. They are always up to something.

They are both based on all songs from their corresponding albums.

Elvis’s crayon legs do not bend, so he walks like you would probably expect

Even though his legs are crayons, he does not take any kind of offence to Alec’s crayon eating habits. Elvis does not care

Al is very quiet, he only really talks to Elvis/only talks when Elvis is around. Nobody has ever really heard him speak

Al and Elvis enjoy colouring, they often colour in colouring books together

Has an actual genuine fear of Santa Claus

Nature Tapes

This is Raymond. He is mischievous, loud, goofy, but very friendly and open to new people. He loves trains, Goosebumps books, and really, really cool wigs.

Everybody Loves Raymond

(These next characters are based on Trapezoid/Deporitaz albums. Some of the following characters have certain traits that are inspired by songs that are miscellaneous, or are songs from other Trapezoid albums but aren’t actually from the album the character is generally based on. I don’t really know why it happened that way)

Outsmart

This is Murray, a green, monkey-like creature. He is playful, imaginative, and likes to mess with his friends. He is similar to a bratty toddler, but slightly, ever so slightly, less irritating.

Based on all Outsmart songs, but mostly:

Murray Mix (and the Sugar Rush Mix)

The Murrayless Murray Mix

Evilness

C.O.W.S

The Monkey Song

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Really, really likes cows. Thinks they're our friends, they may even be our… best friends…
Likes when the lights are off or when the power goes out because he likes sneaking up and scaring people in the dark
Loves graphic adventure video games, he plays them a lot on Henry’s computer
Being a monkey-like creature, he does not take offence to Ozzy’s fear of monkeys. Ozzy is not afraid of Murray despite his simian appearance, because he knows Murray isn’t an actual monkey, but that doesn’t stop Murray from trying to frighten Ozzy

Microwave This CD

This is Samson, a microwave monster. He is shy, anxious and is never too sure what's happening.

Spiders

Sam & Max Disco

Very close friends with Robert (Dimes). They are very much each other’s best friends

Likes spiders, thinks they are some of the nicest creatures, but he knows Robert dislikes them, so he keeps quiet about his love for them when around him

The CD in his microwave body is always spinning

Is usually dragged along by Robert while he goes on his expeditions. Samson is usually reluctant, but Robert always reassures him how “fun” it’ll be (it's never fun for Samson)

Loves graphic adventure video games, but he usually just watches Murray play them as he is not well acquainted with technology

Scared of zombies. Murray always teases him about it by dressing up as a zombie and chasing him

Dimes

This is Robert (mostly called Bob), he is a monster with a mug for a body, and a dime for a head. He is adventurous, excited, and is so friendly it makes people uncomfortable.

(His voice would probably sound like the text-to-speech voice used in “Yikes!”, but maybe a little less robotic)
