Who is Bafflesplat?
Bafflesplat is an AI powered robot musical dog from the Planet Cangaedin. He has travelled to earth in his ship call Eonmoth, after a prehensile cat possessed by a demon called Talifence threatened to take away his musical ability.
Bafflesplat must be careful about revealing his real-world identity as Talifence can disguise themselves as random adorable kitty cats all the time, and is Phrygian good at it. That makes Bafflesplat part of an underground resistance trying to share the forbidden music with the universe to avoid creating a dystopian future where all forms of entertainment are banned.
Bafflesplat is guided by the Wisdom of the Pickled Date Ice Cream tribe on his home planet and uses this wisdom in his everyday life. The Wisdom of the Pickled Date Ice Cream tribe believes in an ancient prophecy stating that the day the universe would be devoid of music would signify its end. Bafflesplat carries this belief with him, which fuels his passion and determination to spread music across the galaxy.
Who is Talifence?
In the sun-drenched hills of Planet Congaedin, a diabolical force lurked in the shadows. Meet Talifence, a prehensile cat with an attitude problem and a penchant for getting its claws into everything that’s cute and fluffy. But little did anyone know, Talifence was secretly harbouring a malevolent entity known as Herpetalane – a dark lord from another realm who loved two things in life: domination of the entire universe and tuna fish pancakes.
As Herpetalane took up residence within Talifence’s feline form, it began to warp its mind with an insatiable hunger for control and domination. But instead of turning Talifence into a mindless drone, Herpetalane just made Talifence really good at playing the bagpipes – much to the dismay of Congaedinian cats everywhere. With its newfound powers of sonic destruction, Talifence set out to rid the galaxy of all music, because, as Herpetalane so cleverly put it, “If we’re not making noise, we’re just making excuses for why we haven’t done laundry in three weeks.”
Talifence’s plan was simple: According to an ancient prophecy from the Pickled Date Ice Cream tribe, the universe would come to an end if music were ever truly extinguished – and Talifence was determined to be the one to snuff it out. This is why Talifence must never uncover Bafflesplat’s true identity.
