LVX23 is the thinly-veiled pseudonym for a metaphysics agitator posing as a corporate drone, a hyperdimensional light-being posing as a barely-evolved ape, and a child of hippies posing as an adult technophile. His roots are in the woods, his feet in the sea, his heart is in the desert, and his head is in the sky flying with hawks under a burning star.

He drew only one card: the number was Zero. He stepped outside to smell just one holographic Rose: it exploded, myriad fragments of fractal fragrance. Lost in amazement, he spiraled full Circle, slid into the Heart of the Labyrinth: death of all dreams, all struggle, all Matter. The chemical nuptials were celebrated on that same flawless, secret night: bright sketches of Reality shining in the dark, afterimages of meaning in the void of Being. Knowing turned into Madness, madness into Seeing. He was last seen building a raft, to cross the great Water - some murmur he's still floating, rockin' in the Real World.

Anton was brought up a devout Catholic, served as an altar boy, trained as a Eucharistic minister and performed readings at mass. But computers, role-playing games, drugs, heavy metal and comics corrupted his mind, leading to interests in the Occultism, Witchcraft and Chaos Magic. He abandoned the safe political liberalism of his parents to become an extreme anarchist, and eventually went on to become the author of many occult articles and the book Kaos Hieroglyphica: Alchemy for the New Aeon. He is also a debauched sexual deviant (bisexual cross-dresser, Sadomasochist, male veil dancer and vorarephile).Approach with extreme caution.

Human beings are dynamic fractals of collected thought and preference. Our details are ephemeral - we change as they change, and believe us, everything about a human being is mutable. Know us by our words and how we make you feel rather than by our arbitrary lists of interests or ego peripherals and remember that we are constantly evolving.

Janus is an attempt to be more than just a cutup product of his social environment. He pays attention to everything, scrambles the details, and is often drunk. Born a twin at ground zero, d(ead) c(ity), he is haunted by dreams of unwelcome futures and doesn't understand why people can't get along. He is a folk journalist writing beatpop mythologies for the ultraculture underground and doesn't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Always the bumrush fool card, his motto is “turning shit into sunshine in the 21st century.”

I'm an experience junkie, a magician, and an artist, if there's even a difference between those things.

A nerd with the heart of a rock 'n roll star.

A wolf raised by Catholics, Lupa gave up the Church for Lent in 1998 and liked the effects of that fasting so much that she has extended it for an indeterminate time. Since then she's danced with totems, drawn, quartered and attired her extended personality, and decided that her eventual fate is to run off into the woods and never come back. She has fallen madly in love with the evil black magician, Taylor Ellwood, who by sheer mistake of using the wrong syllable is now inextricably bound to her. She is the author of Fang and Fur, Blood and Bone: A Primal Guide to Animal Magic (June 2006) and lives online at http://www.thegreenwolf.com and http://www.livejournal.com/users/lupabitch.
