under the cut because it is! a bit long!
alright so. the two group important here are .JOY and the APF allumni. let's start with the first one. .JOY is a disbanded girl group with 4 members. their members are Audio, Louise, Khinara, and Aliex (pronounced alex). In cannon, they coined the term Split-pop. Split -pop is a way to categorize music groups by what concepts they choose to blend together into one song. The original motive behind this was to, in their words "challenge and question why certain genres and topics are connected by some people". In the words of lead rapper and visual Aliex "many people are claiming that they want to revolutionize the music genre and leave ripples throughout it, but not many of the people claiming that are actually doing much. We wanted to not just change that, but to inspire young creators to change everything up". Speaking of the members, let's get onto that topic! Of course, this won't be everything about them. I only made them a week ago like geeze give me a break >:( /lh
Audio: energetic Popstar (self proclaimed magical boy)
The only member of the original team who remember .JPF. His goal (aside from defeating the dark lord, of course) is to get the band back together!

After the dark lord went and stole everybody faces, everyone but Audio forgot about .JOY. Audio was heartbroken over this, vowing to do everything he can to get the band back together!
And that's where APF comes in. APF was the label of .JOY, but that certainly wasn't all that they had. Their most popular and successful product was a video hosting and editing site called Apida (styluses as aPIDA). Right now, the main three things you need to know about APF are that 1. They have two mascots, named Kibi and Vers, who were a catgirl and a imp respectively. 2. They owned a large stake in a science corporation that was developing a strange idea called VIVCOTA. and 3. Their CEO is named Léna Marie, and everybody suspects that she's a Vampire (they're right). The previously mentioned Science company thing, at the time, employed Syntax (no relation) as one of their top researchers. I'll be honest i don't fully know what happens next, but the basic gist is that APF commissioned Syntax to create living versions of Kibi and Vers, it originally disagreed, they bribed it, it took the offer, Kibi and Vers became besties, and know their trying to defeat the dark lord. Got that? Hope so!
