_Background
Silver emerged into the world in a small town on the outskirts of a thriving metropolis. Raised in a family that cherished creativity, her parents, both artists in their own right, instilled a love for expression and individuality from a young age.

Her early years were a blend of artistic exploration and a search for identity. While her outward demeanor exuded a quiet grace and approachability, internally, she found solace and passion in the unexpected realms of Progressive Metal, Psychedelic Rock, and Indie Electronic music. The contrasting nature of her musical tastes became a source of personal rebellion, a way for her to carve out her own space in the world.

Navigating the delicate nuances of social interactions, Silver found solace in the language of music. Unbeknownst to many, she was diagnosed with autism spectrum, a fact that shaped the way she perceived and interacted with the world. Her gentle demeanor and soft features often masked the intricacies of her internal landscape.

As Silver entered adolescence, she discovered the guitar and, almost magically, found her voice within its strings. Her fingers danced on the frets, translating the complexity of her inner world into mesmerizing melodies. Music became a sanctuary where she could channel the dichotomy of her gentle exterior and the pulsating energy of her eclectic taste.

In her late teens, Silver decided to break away from the comfort of her small town and venture into the pulsating heart of the nearby city. Here, she immersed herself in the vibrant music scene, attending concerts, collaborating with fellow musicians, and honing her craft. Silver's journey unfolded as she navigated through the diverse landscapes of Progressive Metal stages, Psychedelic Rock festivals, and the underground Indie Electronic scene.

Behind her casual, unassuming appearance, Silver became a force on the stage, captivating audiences with her unexpected fusion of genres. Her performances spoke of an artist who had found harmony in embracing contradictions. Offstage, she cultivated a life that balanced the tranquility of her family roots with the electric energy of the urban soundscape.

What will this band sound like? :P

Favorite Music Genres

Jake finds inspiration in the theatricality of showtunes, and the catchy beats of pop music.

Background

Jake grew up in a supportive and open minded household. His parents were both artists in their own right, encouraged self-expression and explanation. From an early age, Jake loved the arts, particularly music and theater. From belting out the latest pop song, to putting on impromptu performances for his family, Music was a big part of his life. Jake had a natural talent for singing, and his parents encouraged his passion. They enrolled him local music programs and community theater.

In school, Jake was a lively and outgoing student. His vibrant personality and flair for the dramatic made him stand out among his peers. Even though being openly gay gave him his fair share of haters, Jake paid little thought to them. He was a fixture in school talent shows, plays, and choirs, and was popular among his group of friends.

After completing his education, Jake faced the realities of adulthood. Wanting financial stability, he opted for a boring office job. The decision was a pragmatic one, driven by the desire to secure a stable income. He thought it would be a temporary thing until he got his big break. However, the routine nature of the job proved to be a stark contrast to Jake’s vibrant personality and creative spirit, leaving him feeling trapped and unfulfilled. That big break still hasn’t come yet.

Then he got an invitation to his high school reunion that would change everything.

I figured Jake being a Pop diva surrounded by a bunch of rockers would be a fun dynamic.

Delia Hawkins [+]

Delia Halim Hawkins

Gender

Female

Age

25

Appearance

Delia stands at 5'5", not particularly short or tall. She keeps her hair long, but rarely has the time to give it a dedicated hair care routine, so it's often quite messy. Her sense of style is ecletic and oriented towards the practical, formal wear is rare and she really does love jeans and graphic t-shirts. Delia also likes to throw in a few eye-searingly bright colors to keep things interesting, and even has a few bits of clothing that she's augmented with programmable RGB lights. She also likes to wear sunglasses when she can get away with it, though she will try to come up with other justifications, her real reason is because she thinks they make her look cool and mysterious. Her favorite item of clothing is a denim jacket full of iron on patches, an ever growing collection things she finds cool

Personality

Uncompromising, Prickly and Energetic are all words that come up when describing Delia. She doesn't mince words, doesn't care much about politeness, will stand and defend her viewpoints, and is slow to trust people. She gets bored quickly and has mischevious streak, but when she finds a subject she's interest in she becomes a tornado of activity. She doesn't go out of her way to start fights or drama, she just has trouble understanding how her blunt nature can sometimes create social faux pas. Delia is also extremely loyal to those she cares about, standing with them through thick and thin. On stage she likes to have a minimal presence for two main reasons: 1. She believes the music should be the star, not herself. 2. She is usually juggling enough complexities in the live performance that she doesn't have the capacity to worry about putting on a show for the crowd.

Background

Delia was born from a college fling between her parents, James Hawkins and Noor Al-Medina. James was an engineer with a creative side, Noor was a writer who seemed to be fascinated by anything and everything, they had a passionate but ultimately ill-fated relationship. Initially, Delia went to live with her mother, but when she was still young her mother had a mental health episode and could no longer take care of her, so she moved to Los Angeles with her father. He cared for her as best he could, and while his work in electrical engineering brought in decent money, the change in his lifestyle meant that his time for other hobbies was severely constrained. James' minor sidegig as an electronic musician came to a complete halt when he had to raise Delia, when he was all by himself, he could churn out unsuccessful albums on whatever tiny record label would have him and
stay up late playing small gigs for beer money, all he had time for as a single dad was halfhearted attempts at making music after she had gone to sleep at night. He was happy to see that she had the same impulse in her, and as soon as she was old enough, he enrolled her in piano lessons, which she loved. As she got older, she kept up the lessons but also came to love videogames and working with her dad on electronic projects; all three of her hobbies rewarded dedicated practice and creative thought.

High School in Los Angeles afforded her a lot of opportunities to make friends with similar interests, she even joined a couple of high school bands, most which lasted two practice sessions or less before breaking up, let alone managing to play an actual gig. Life was going well for Delia, but then came a change she that would make her very unhappy. When she was a teenager, her father married a woman named Grace Liu, despite meeting late in life they seemed to get along perfectly, some say it was because they were both introverted and prone to nerdy hobbies, others that they were both people that had neglected romance for other causes (raising Delia in James' cases, her career in Grace's) long enough that they both came to it late in life. While James and Grace got along swimmingly, Delia and her stepmother were like oil and water from the very start.

Delia finds Grace utterly joyless and boring, pretty much the only thing the woman reads is scientific papers, and she is ruthlessly practical in all aspects of her personal life. Shortly after the marriage, the family packed up and moved to Santa Fe for Grace's job, forcing Delia to say goodbye to all of her friends in high school. Santa Fe was not like Los Angeles; the pace of life was slower and far less exciting. Delia, who already had difficulties making friends, retreated more into solitary activities, focusing on her three hobbies even moreso. Her grades were good, and when it came time for college, she had many ideas for what to study, but ultimately there was only one degree that she managed to get her stepmom on board with: Electrical Engineering.
Undergrad was easy for her, easy enough that she could slack off, still making good grades while taking on goals like practicing speedrunning videogames or trying to sneak into university buildings she wasn't supposed to be in. One thing she knew in college was that she didn't want this freedom to end. In college, her time was her own, she could work on the projects she wanted to work on and rush through the boring ones. Naturally, she decided to go to graduate school, moving on to continue her studies at Caltech. Unfortunately, she learned that graduate school was a whole new level of difficulty, and her old work ethic resulted in poor grades. The university has required her to suspend her studies and reconsider her commitment to the program for a period time, so Delia has moved back home with her parents. After an icy confrontation between Grace and Delia, they managed to find a compromise. On paper, Delia would use the time off to catch up on her studies, help out James with the music equipment rental business he is trying to start, and stop spending so much time online. Delia doesn't really have any intentions of honoring the bargain, but she knows that if she doesn't find another route, she'll be left with having to go into a career she hates or head back to college and risk failing out, coming out with no graduate degree and a mountain of debt. That was when she went to her high school reunion and began to think that maybe music was an option that was still on the table for a fleeting moment.

I forgot to post here, I'll have a bassist sheet for approval this weekend

Rigby [+]

Regan Rigby

Gender

Female

Age

26

Appearance

Rigby is of a normal height just under 5'7" with a build that could best be described as lithe. She has a rather petite frame but a history of athletic activity has been nice to her even if her lifestyle hasn't been quite so active as it was. Her hair, once always kept long, is now often tucked under a baseball cap or a beanie but is still as dark as ever. She tried highlighting it once or twice, but it never quiet looked right. It's more medium length these days. She has three tattoos, one on her left arm, another on her right leg, and the last a little symbol on her collarbone. When it comes to style, she keeps it realtively low key and goes for function over fashion moreso out of necessity. At times her focus on jeans and band shirts or graphic tees makes her come off a bit more immature than others but she's in her twenties, what else is she supposed to dress like.

She does love hats, though. Caps, beanies, hats are cool and underrated as an accessory.

Personality

While Rigby isn't the same person she was in high school - which is a very good thing - she still has a bit of a strong sarcastic streak and a tendency to use humor and wit to her benefit. She's not above saying something to get a rise out of a person, but depending on who it is it is done out of love or out of a desire to needle and bother. Perhaps because of her high school years and the hole it left in her on the friendship side of things, Rigby has a tendency to latch onto people who show her kindness and don't scrape her off like cleaning a barnacle. There was a time where she craved being the center of attention and part of her still does, which is why she often exagerates and embellishes when teling anecdotes or the like. Combined with her humor bleeding the line, Rigby can often come off as someone who is, well, prickly at best and a liar at worst.

She doesn't believe herself to be a liar, just someone who was once a social butterfly but never quite learned how to adapt to a different type of socialization. Quick with profanity and quicker with the wit, it's undeniable that she has a certain charisma when speaking. But she's aware enough to know that when it comes to matters like performing in a group that she's not the main attraction. Her skill in gabbing is more suited to backstage and at the bar, using her silver tongue to smooth things through. Very much a people person, Rigby believes that the more people she makes like her by whatever means necessary maybe the easier it will be to finally like herself. The problem there is her not knowing if anyone really does like her.

Instrument(s)

Bass Guitar/Guitar

Favorite Music Genres

Prog, Post-hardcore, Funk, Indie Rock and Post-Rock, one summer was really into Weezer but only up to the Green Album, secretly fucks with mall pop.

Background

Regan, though she goes by Rigby now, came from a rather conservative household as the second child born to a city councilman and a mother who was a little too well known at PTA meetings and especially at church functions. It wasn't as if Regan grew up in the shadow of her older sibling, but often it felt like she had to compete for affection or, worse, strive for a very specific type of perfection. In public outings, they had to be the perfect family which, for Regan, meant smiling and dressing like she was going to a debutante ball and going to Sunday School and minding her p's and q's and everything inbetween. To say it was stifling would be an understatement.

In high school, most who knew Regan knew her as a cheerleader and one of the more popular students that, naturally, did everything she could to make people feel unwelcome. It wasn't just that she was a mean girl, she was downright cruel with her words at times, but only when she knew there weren't any teachers or, worse, parents listening. It didn't really earn her any real friends, not like her older sibling who was genuinely liked. If it weren't for Regan's position on the cheerleading team and her family having a second house that was easily used for after-event hangouts or parties, Regan probably would've been a lot lonelier in high school. It's easy to say that she was just doing what was expected, popular, cheerleader, that sort of thing, but getting away from the suffocating influence of her family was the best thing that happened to her.

Because it allowed her to reflect.

It happened her senior year, first semester. Regan, having done poorly on the SATs the year before, was facing an uncertain future and parents who were still pushing her to be the idealized version of a person she wasn't. Midway through the first semester of what was their final year, Regan just one day stopped showing up. She didn't tell any teachers or any students. They assumed she was sick. But one missed day turned into a missed week. Then a missed month. Regan didn't graduate with the class. She didn't even show up at graduation. The police were involved only up until her father told them they weren't filing a missing person's report and that she wasn't dead.

Regan didn't go to college. She lied on an application and worked a dingy dive bar cleaning tables and helping set up amps for the booked groups that played. She got a lot of tips from people who thought she was a single mother or slaving her way through college - stories she didn't exactly dissuade them from believing. It was at this job that Regan bonded with a member of a regular performing band. She taught Regan proper fingering technique. Regan appreciated it. When the band broke up, so too did she break up with Regan, leaving only a worn out bass as a memento. Regan quit the job, well she got fired for stealing from the register for personal reasons, and at age twenty-two had no real career prospects or anything other than memories, good and bad, and a guitar. It only made sense that she put what she had into the only thing she could.

She never joined a band, but did fill in for bar crawling bands and busked when that wasn't an option. It was playing on the street where Regan got recognized by a former classmate. She denied it, saying her name was Rigby, but there was no hiding it even with ink and a piercing. It was through this classmate that she heard about the reunion - something she wasn't even sure she was allowed to go to. But what else was she going to do? If nothing else she could maybe apologize and try to close that chapter of her life before finding what the next one held for her. Because being one rung away from living on the street wasn't exactly the idyllic perfect life she envisioned. But...it was her life all the same, and that had to count for something.
