Harry Parker

"I'd probably still love you with your hands around my neck,"

Harry Parker

Age:
23

Musical Talent:
Guitar, backing vocals

Personality:
Thinking back to school, there was always one kid that stood out, oozing enough confidence for three. In his year, that was Harry. He was is an ass. He's lively, sarcastic, a flirt, and entirely shocking. There's few things that Harry loves more than pushing buttons for a reaction; a bit of a social sadist. When not being an ass, he's trying rather hard to be the centre of attention and enjoys the spotlight. It's not uncommon to see Harry smoking, or drinking a tad too early. Music, itself, means a considerable amount to the lanky twat, however still less than his own ego.

History/Bio:
Simply put, Harry was an ungreatful child. Born into a stable and loving family, Harry found himself maturing into the rascal he was into his adult years. He was an indie kid, often at the coolest parties, and had more girlfriend's than socks at Christmas. During the last few years in High School, Harry pulled together his friends and created the garage band The Twists, singing lively versions of the Brit Indie he enjoyed in his spare time. The spotlight gave him a snse of truly belonging, a sense of purpose, a the biggest ego boost he'd likely recieve.

Benji

"I don't even know what's going on, are we playing yet?"

Benjamin Dalton

Age:
23

Musical Talent:
Bassist

Personality:
Benjamin isn't the brightest light in the lighthouse, but that might be from the years of skateboarding injuries. He's not particularly the most observant person, in fact he tends to zone out quite often. He loves to read, listen to music, and play his bass. He's not a high-maintenance guy, and he hates drama of any kind. He isn't one to gossip, or worry about what people think of him. He could honestly not give a damn if he had any friends at all, he prefers to be alone. But he also gets lonely from time to time, and will put himself around people even if he doesn't particularly like people as a whole. He isn't very active, unless you count skateboarding or riding his motorcycle. He isn't the most driven person, more a go with the flow type of guy, but he likes flirting with girls. He's got a sort of bad boy reputation, and he goes with it even if he doesn't really know who started it or how.

History/Bio:
Benji was born to a single mother, his father never having been around ever since he was born. Benjamin met him much later in life, but doesn't actively talk to the guy, or know him that well. His mother is his world.It was mostly because Benjamin watched his mother struggle to take care of him and give him a good life, and Benji hated to see his mother have to go through that. He got along well in school, though not the smartest kid, he did okay. When he was eight, him and his mother moved across the country and Benji had to make all new friends, in a new town. But he loved it, he'd hated his old school.

When he graduated high school, a year behind because he honestly was that dumb when it came to academics, Benjamin swore all he wanted to do was play his music professionally. He told his mother so, time and time again. His mother was fully supportive of his dream, even going so far as to pay for her son's bass lessons as a child. Benjamin picked it up fast, almost like a natural, and he's been playing ever since.
