Personality:
If you haven't got the memo yet, Ivan is a fanboy. He obsesses over anything and everything, without a hitch, and it doesn't take long for him to become obsessed with any given series or show or band or what have you. Of course, this means he has a one-track mind, and will often be unable to focus on anything else but whatever he is obsessing over. Ironically enough, when it comes to conversations or, say, homework, his one-track mind is moot, and he is easily distracted to a fault. His short attention span in these areas is often annoying, though conversely impressive when he's able to hold long conversations about one topic.

Somehow, his various obsessions have landed him friends, because his bubbly personality and ability to make tons of references in different areas have endeared him to others. Although his various fanboy pursuits distract him most of the time, he is quite an amicable character, when given the chance. Even though he has been sought after for advice, most of his advice comes in the form of a reference from something. In Ivan's mind, books, TV, bands, etc. have taught him all he needs to know about human interaction. Oh, how naive this poor boy is.

Biography:
Ivan's home was standard, for a time. Mom, dad, two little brothers, all those good things. He had a cat named Sir Banderas and a goldfish named Nemo (because no one told him clownfish and goldfish were different). It was a happy family life, and one full of many good memories and family outings.

Until.

His mother suddenly fell ill, and it was like a tornado came through the Kemp house. When she went to the doctor, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it had unfortunately spread too far into other regions of her body for her to do anything about it. Ivan and his younger brothers were devastated, and they spent as much time with their dying mother as they could before the day she finally stopped breathing.

From then on, his father, who had loved his wife very much, withdrew himself. He went to work and paid the bills, but every night, he came home and shut himself in his room, refusing to look or speak to his three sons, all of whom bore some resemblance to their mother. Whenever Ivan looked in the mirror, he only saw his mother's eyes and smile, and eventually he stopped looking.

Desperate to distract himself, Ivan started turning to books. This led to manga, which led to anime, which led to TV, which led to various bands, etc. Anything he could get his hands on that took him away from this world, he got into. He became so invested in all these things, he forgot his grief.

And then, like magic, there was a band in his hometown. Their music was a perfect excuse for Ivan to get out of the house, and he became so invested in them, he could almost forgot the empty brokenness of his home.

And now they're back. Oh, how he missed the nights when he got out of that godforsaken house of his.

Bio: [1-2 paragraphs]: Caroline was born in a wealthy neighborhood. Her mother was a lawyer, her father owned a construction company. However, when she was 2 years old, her mother left, leaving her father alone with her. Her leaving sent him on a downward spiral. He quit his job, started drinking, and was forced to move into a poorer neighborhood as a lonely, depressed, verbally abusive drunk. She now spends as little time as she can at home. She hates the band that was formed at school because she's envious. She wants to be able to travel and tour, but she can't. So she projects it as hatred. She doesn't like their music, doesn't like their band name, and hates the members in it.

576317

Personality: Independent. Blunt. Loyal. Stubborn. Sarcastic. Confrontational.
Bio: Violet grew up with her mother, her father, and her older sister. They were an average middle-class family. Her mother was a professor at the local collage and her father was a restaurant manager. She was a smart kid, always getting good marks in her classes. She developed a passion for baking and cooking and has kept that throughout her teen years. When she was twelve her father divorced her mother and left, never to be seen again. That left her mother alone with two teenage kids so after that she wasn't around much, getting a part time job as a hostess at a local restaurant in addition to teaching. She holds a grudge to her her father and wants to know why he did what he did. As she got older she grew to dislike her small hometown and now wants to get to a far away collage like her sister did. For now she's focused on moving through high school, not getting too invested in anything at home.
Violet had known about the band that had formed at her school and didn't think much about it. It didn't seem very important, high school bands formed all the time, but then they got "discovered" and it became a very big deal to everyone around her. The band got a big tour deal and she still didn't care too much. She decided to give a listen to their music and still wan't interested. It wasn't horrible or anything, it just wasn't great. It was mediocre. Now that the band is returning the whole school seems to be exited for their famous band to return. She still couldn't care less. It's not something that will effect her... right?

[div class=block style="background-color: grey;"]history
Beau grew up not knowing his father, his mother told him tales about him. From what he can remember he was a French man his mother met while travelling through France. They fell so deeply in love that she decided to stay there. She would always go on and on about how much Beau looked like him or how he too was fond of making music. But to Beau this meant nothing. He didn't care about the amazing man his father supposedly was. Because the one thing Beau need him to be good at was existing. He doesn't know for sure what happened, but his greatest theory is that he didn't want the burden of having a kid so he ran. Due to this Beau and his mother have a tense relationship. He often crashes at a friends house to get away. She eagerly signed his contract hoping she could finally make him happy. Beau is the typical womanizing bad boy. He knows what he wants and he gets it. The emotional aspects of relationships simply don't interest him. That was until he met Sydney Roe, her band played before him, and he remembers just watching from the side of the stage. It was as if Cupid had stuck him with the strongest blow. Sydney was perfect in Beau's eyes from her messy blue hair to her chipped painted nails. He honestly was ready to have a serious relationship, which means a lot with his track record. Until Sydney did to him what he's done to so many girls. He probably would have been offended if he wasn't too busy trying to handle a broken heart.

Likes: Animals (Has a strong love for cats specifically), playing piano, messing around with composing, Flirting, Sushi
Dislikes: Birds, Hot weather, Sunny days, being told what to do

Personality: Positive: Charming, Honest, Friendly, Humorous. Negative: Self-deprecating humor, Perfectionist when dealing with himself, Usually secretive with his own problems except to a select few

Bio: Dom was born into a Caribbean family that would place closer to the well off economy line since both his parents were good doctors in their respective fields. Dom was the middle child that had a sister that was 5 years older, Naomi, and younger sister, Sanaa, by 8 years. His parents had always wanted what they thought would be the best for their children which is why the siblings had either an affinity for music, athletics, or some other artistic field from a young age. The downside of this upbringing was the large amount of pressure and stress they endured trying to keep up to their parents standards.

Naomi had developed a horrible drug addiction to cope with the stress, harsh punishments for not being perfect, and the seeming constant mental abuse around the age of 15. Of course, the parents discovered it and sent her away under the pretense of some kind of special educational facility for a year. That had only made the bond between the siblings stronger as they realized they could truly only rely on each other since the outside world only knew of the "oh so perfect family". His parents soon focused hard onto Dom in the hopes of him following into their medical footsteps. He had skipped skipped a grade in order to show his parents the he was serious about getting into the veterinary field but his love of music and the piano only grew stronger. He had started a youtube channel where he would post covers of songs and maybe little snippets of things he's made. Dom remained anonymous until someone had reached out to and told him about an opportunity to join the band which needed his parents' approval. They signed off on it easy enough thinking it would be a good chance for him to make a name for himself for future business functions. Little did they know that his emotional state was already one of unease from his childhood and that he was following in his sister's footsteps to deal with his undiagnosed anxiety and depression.

- Cynical
- Small-thinking
Bio: Rather than the typical nuclear family setting, Jade was practically raised by a village. The Savage village to be precise. She was an only child to her parents though, with her mother being a constant presence while her father was only allowed weekend visits. The Savage family consisted of a lineage of successful progeny, from lawyers to CEOs. There was a lot of expectations put into place on every Savage child, with no exclusion from Jade. In fact with her brilliance shown at a young age, a lot was planned out for the girl. But there was always her desire to embrace the musical arts that most of the older Savage family members disapproved of. Why? Because her own father had chosen to take that path himself and showed to be a failure. He had been the previous generation's hope for becoming to be a big star of a company that would really bedazzle the Savage family name, but instead, he decided to follow his passion for music and flopped instantly.

So in order to avoid a repeat of that "mistake", Jade's mother managed to win custody of her and limited her father's influence on her. But this didn't stop Jade from sneaking out at times to see her father as she grew up. In fact, she enjoyed her times with him. He was a breath of fresh air in her scripted life. As she grew older, she tried to keep her passion for music a secret from her grandparents, mother, and aunts and uncles while following along with what they wanted her to do. But as she reached her teenage years, Jade became bolder, more defiant. She started showing her true colors which disappointed her mother, grandparents and other family members. Jade cared but did not care at the same time for she wanted to prove to them that she could do what her father couldn't. So when a few friends of hers were starting to build up a band, she jumped onto the idea quickly. Although the pressure of trying to prove her family wrong got to her head to where she pushed the members too far to the point where they asked her to leave because of her pushiness. Deciding that she didn't need them to become successful, Jade took her leave.

But now that the band, who became successful after her leave, is back to their town there is much resentment, anger, and jealousy boiling inside of the girl. She has had some of her owns songs produced but none reaching the right numbers. Jade continues to try and work on her music but desperation and anger claw at her heart constantly.

although reggie himself can feel like a passive student, it is a wonder how that ever came to be. family life had not always been that regular ever since he was a child. growing up as the only child within a poor, disrupted family, reggie learned at a young age to fend for himself and strive for the best. coming from nothing, so to speak, only provided him with the means and goals to succeed. all he ever wanted from life was to excel, and not to end up where he started — the very bottom of the food chain. although life was hard with money troubles, it did not deter the family. they continued being loving and supportive throughout his journey into adolescence.

Bio:
Kira has always wanted more from life then she felt the cards she was dealt. Raised an only child by a single mother because who knows what happened to her father. Her mother made it a point to never speak of him not matter how much she asked as a child. Growing up in a small town also wasn't ideal for her because everyone knew everyone and usually not in a good way. Once you got a reputation that tended to be what stuck for better or for worse. Kira was always working to help support her mother who was a cook at the local dinner. She babysat, learned how to do simple fixes to computers for the older generations so they could pay to ask her rather then annoy their kids or grandkids, and any other odd jobs around town that needed to be done that people were willing to pay a little something for. In middle school she got her first taste of playing music with the school's violin in orchestra, and while she does still secretly practice from time to time she knew something much more convenient would be a guitar. She saved up what she could and within a year she bought her first guitar. She practiced anytime she wasn't working which lead to her grades slipping and her mother getting furious with her and causing them to fight more and more. She loved her mother, but this was the one thing in her life she did for herself and not just for survival.

Once she was in high school she was pretty much labeled dumb by the adults around her because of her grades, and figured she worked so hard because that's all she'd ever amount to, is doing simple jobs and living pay check to pay check like her mother. She wasn't dumb though she just was too busy for homework, and sometimes stayed up too late and fell asleep in class. Even when she'd do good on a test her teachers assumed she either cheated or got lucky. She just ignored them though because she knew one day, one way or anther she'd get out of this god forsaken place. When offered to join the band she jumped at the opportunity to be around people who hopefully would understand her. Then they got discovered and like a dream come true went on tour. It was everything she could've hoped for and more, and was sad when it came to an end. She's not happy about having to come back to finish up school, but she'd promised when her mother signed the papers allowing her to go that she'd graduate. She's not sure what happens next, but she knows she wants to get back to making music and hopefully going out into the world again even bigger and better.
