she/her | Extra Life + Givers & Gamers
Hey y'all! I'm Basic Witch and I'm passionate about community. My streaming schedule is rather chaotic, but I would love to have you hang out sometime! This is my second year as a participant in Extra Life, but I've around for a few years cheering the team on. I love cozy games, intensely scary games, and everything in between. I'm also known for my ability to create pretty close likenesses of real people in The Sims! When I'm not streaming, I'm the Business Manager for a local nonprofit, and can usually be found bingeing reality competition shows, reading, and singing karaoke.
Games I like: World of Warcraft, The Sims 4, Cozy Grove, Dead by Daylight

TubaTaylor
they/them | KHJN & Extra Life
Hi, I’m TubaTaylor, and I play tuba in a ska band. My only child is a black cat named Lucipurr. On my Twitch stream, you can make me put stickers on my face, play way-too-long sound alerts, and watch me eat weird snacks. This is my SEVENTH year doing Extra Life and I’ve raised over $12,500 for Kentucky Children’s Hospital!
Games I like: Magic the Gathering, Sea of Thieves, Inscryption, Neon White, Unreal Tournament 2004.
Harrison Hark Levans
he/him | Extra Life
I’ve been raising money with Extra Life since 2018 by helping to run the TTRPG stream and asking, “How can I help?” Due to life experiences, I’m very passionate about kids health, which resulted in me doing math and running fast at the hospital for a living. Things that are awesome: helping, swing dancing, cats, calling everything an adventure, new food, weird stuff, Ska shows.

The Notorious DLC
he/him | Extra Life
What's up gamers, I'm The Notorious DLC, or DLC, or Dave, whichever you prefer! I've been gaming for close to 30 years (yikes) and I'm just getting worse and worse as the years go on! I've been working with folks from LexGG on Extra Life events primarily on the TTRPG side since 2019, including several Honey Heists, as well as a 12 hour Rock Band stream in 2020 and playing in a majority of the TTRPG sessions (or working behind the scenes for them) in 2021.
I play games badly on Twitch from time to time, but when I am not, I work in IT during the day and spend most of my free time watching movies and TV, reading, building/collecting Lego, and spending time with loved ones. I am a classically trained tenor, although the pipes are getting rusty these days, so you're more likely to hear me belting karaoke songs or musical numbers than opera, but if you play your cards right, I'd be happy to sing whatever! I am also a big fan of creating or mimicking voices and would love to pursue voiceover work in the future!
Games I like: Mass Effect, Minecraft, The Outer Worlds, Red Dragon Inn, Coup
The Tommy Cox

What the heck!! I'm Tommy, a family-friendly streamer out of north Alabama. I'm an engineer for a living, but I play a lot of Sea of Thieves, Nintendo games, & retro-style games on Twitch in my free time. I also enjoy third wave coffee, typewriters, & music! I own one cat, Norma (who's named after Norm from Cheers). 2023 is my second year participating in Extra Life, & I'm raising money for Children's of Alabama!

FancyHatKY
Extra Life
I started streaming music on Twitch during quarantine as a way to keep myself sane. Through that, and building an awesome little community, I was reintroduced to PC gaming so the transition from streaming music to streaming games was pretty easy. Our friends hooked us up with Extra Life.
Games I like: Fallout New Vegas, Breath of the Wild, Sea of Thieves, & Civilization IV
Tommy Townsend
he/him | Extra Life
I am a trombonist and candle maker based out of Lexington, KY. This is my fourth year participating in Extra Life. I enjoy being able to have such a positive impact on my community by doing the things I love! My stream schedule is slowly (very Slowly) coming together, but you can find out when I'm live over on the LexGG Discord/my socials. If you ever want to play something with me, feel free to reach out!

Valhallenn
Extra Life
I’m a musician, I stream when I have the time and have been trying to do more with it. My family is super “pro-life” and the thing that I hate about it is that while that mindset is all about saving unborn children they become easily forgotten once they are born. I’m excited to help children that are here suffering right now.
Games I like: Sea of Thieves, Hades, Valheim, Legend of Zelda, Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous
