ALTERNATE LOG 29: SUBJECT A2903CHANCE - NOX

RESEARCH NOTES: Subject A2903CHANCE is Nox, the animated character from content creator James Lee. Nox's series often features him tackling a variety of contemporary topics, such as celebrity status, A.I. content creation, Adobe, and more, often through a cynical and "grimy" lens. Nox is an egotist and puts himself above else, running the "Court of Public Opinion" and sentencing those who commit wrongdoings to do time. His notoriety took an uptick when he was featured in the song "One Nipple at a Time" alongside the commentary Youtuber, Moist Cr1T1KaL- in the song, Nox ties Cr1T1KaL to a chair and forces him to view mind-altering content, spreading his negative influence further.

Nox's CHANCE is nothing like the most common variation on the roster. While the project still takes place in the enigmatic Great Lilac and it's host, FAUX, is still intact, the bracket format is that of a round robin with four characters. Nox was the third reveal for the project, debuting on May 16th, 2022. Before him came Jamie Siu, the Girl, and after him came Devil Music.

This is one of the only timelines that we have a very solid grasp on. Nox's presence, though toxic, doesn't seem to be the reason as to why it collapsed- it is likely something far bigger, though information on the project ends after Nox's fight against ???, ending the six mandatory matches. It is unknown what the overall placements of these four are, or what happened to FAUX when the timeline collapsed, but Nox has been surprisingly open about his time in the tournament. This could be due to his "need" to share the innermost secrets of his fellow contestants, but his memory has certainly proved useful up to now.

Below are the full source lists for Nox's competition, as told by him.

001 - JAMIE SIU
DESCRIPTION: Chinese breakdancer born in Hong Kong. Wore bright yellow clothing and kept a drink on his person at all times.

- Capcom fighting/arcade franchises, or traditional fighting games
- Core funk, jazz funk, or neo soul
- Martial arts, or non-alcoholic beverages
- Dancing/breakdancing

EXTRA INFORMATION: Nox wasn't a fan of Jamie- a natural go-getter and optimist, Jamie represented the opposite of Nox's tendencies and was the fighter he was most excited to try and tear down. He was often referred to by Nox as "Mr. Top Player," in a derogatory fashion. His request for if he won was to "keep his home safe."

002 - THE GIRL
DESCRIPTION: Monochrome young adult woman. One eye visible at all times. Was always seen with a cigarette and her signature skateboard.

-Siames, alt. dance, and electropop
-2010's-onward animated music videos
-Skating/boarding culture, or delinquency
-Drugs, addiction, and internal struggles

EXTRA INFORMATION: Nox had no real opinion of "the Girl," dubbing her as a "blank slate, wiped clean of anything to pick apart but the meat from her ribs." He did note, however, that she tended to look over her shoulder often. Her request for if she won was "to stop running."

004 - DEVIL MUSIC
DESCRIPTION: Human male with horned skull in place of a head. Spoke of "the basement" and "the Spirit World."

-Aesop Rock, his collaborators, and Rhymesayers/Def Jux
-Binding of Isaac contributors, roguelikes, and dungeon crawlers
-Abstract or experimental hip-hop
-Unholy religion, otherworldly horror, and childhood

EXTRA INFORMATION: Nox was present for Devil Music's arrival into the Lilac, calling it "an ungodly gaudy light show" and "the kind of thing he'd dog on Hollywood for." His request for if he won was "to catch up with his brothers."
