IDKnuggets

Chicken Nugget
Roleplay Type(s)
Recuerdo, a small town nestled in the mountains of Southern California an hour and a half north-east of Los Angeles. A sleepy town, where the most interesting thing for young people to do is visit the local mall or support the college football team at one of their games. The most noteworthy place around is Recuerdo Community College, lauded for it's excellent staff and programs.

Sometimes the brightest stars come from the most humble of beginnings. It is in the tiny town of Recuerdo that six such stars will come together. A humble band of college students that will one day earn their place among the greats.

    NAME
    Vincent Theodore Beckett
    AGE
    19
    INSTRUMENT
    Bass Guitar, Piano
    PERSONALITY
    Publicly, Vincent comes off as confident and charming, like he always knows exactly what to say. He always seems to have something prepared, never lost for words. The truth is, he just knows how to play people. A lifetime surrounded by the rich and famous has taught him how to play to what people want and expect from him. He could chat about stocks, business practices, politics, or religion for hours and not care one bit for what he or the other person says.

    The genuine Vincent is much more goofy than his professional persona, joking around and teasing those he feels close to freely. He can be childish, and may hold a ridiculous grudge for a long time or forget about whatever was bothering him ten minutes later because something else caught his attention. He's wild, goofy, and chaotic; the friend who disappears chasing an ice cream truck a block and comes back with enough for everyone.

    But at his very core, Vincent is still that hurt young boy who lost the only person in the world he had truly loved. When he's feeling particularly beaten down, he withdrawals within himself like a sad little boy hiding away in his room.

    Ever since the car accident, Vincent has felt uncomfortable being in a vehicle he is not in control of. He will generally insist on driving or take his bike instead.
    APPEARANCE
    Vincent stands fairly tall at 6’5” with his father's jet black hair and mother’s chocolate brown eyes. Thanks to the countless hours spent working on cars and motorcycles he is also fairly muscular. His hands and arms have several visible scars from places he's hurt himself while working, and a decently large scar from the accident runs from his left shoulder to his chest. He usually wears either jeans, dark t-shirts or button up shirts, and a denim or leather jacket.
    BRIEF HISTORY
    Vincent Theodore Beckett, the son of fashion mogul Jeffery Beckett and his wife Melody Beckett-West, grew up in a New York suburban neighborhood full of other well-off families. His Father was well known in the fashion industry, and his mother was the daughter of an actor named Franklin West. Because of his family's position, he was often taken to social functions full of stuck up rich people. He learned what was expected of him, how to act around people like them, and how to keep them happy.

    His Father loved the life he lived, a life of luxury and renown. He was a socialite, someone who belonged amongst those rich and famous snobs. They were his people, and he expected Vincent to make a good impression whenever he met them. Jeffery taught his son how to behave, proper manners and all the rules one had to be aware of to be a prominent and successful businessman.

    His mother on the other hand, she never quite fit in at the social functions. She mostly kept quiet and stayed by her husband’s side when they went out together. Melody was creative, musical, and wild. She rode a Harley -Davidson motorcycle, went to punk shows, and went skydiving for fun. Some of Vincent's most prominent memories are of long drives with Subhumans blasting from the radio and being taken for rides on his mother’s Harley-Davidson Fatboy.

    It was a week before Vincent's twelfth birthday, while he and his mother were in his father's car on their way to Vincent’s school. His father wasn’t with them so his mother was able to play her own music. Sometimes in life there are strange little coincidences, things that just happen to line up. The song “I Saw Your Mommy” By Suicidal Tendencies had just begun when the Nissan slammed into the driver side of their Toyota. The other driver had decided to run the Red light, not realizing Melody was coming into the intersection. She was dead even before their car came to a stop on the side of the road. A fireman was able to get Vincent out of the car safely and he was rushed to the hospital. A large gash ran down from his left shoulder, a scar that would never go away.

    Vincent received his Ibanez SR870 bass guitar for his twelfth birthday, he had been begging his parents to buy him one for months. His father signed him up for lessons, the music helped take the boy's mind off of things. For the first four months after the accident it seemed like all Vincent did was play his bass. He locked himself away in his room, refusing to come out for anything. He didn’t return to his normal self until another year and a half later. In that time, Vincent and his father moved to Jeffery's hometown of Recuerdo to be near his parents.

    When he was 14 he began hanging out at a local auto shop, there he got to know a man named Wayne Ó Cahan. Wayne taught Vincent everything he knew about working on cars, skills Vince has since applied to working on motorcycles as well. When he turned 16, his mother's old Harley became his own. Riding his bike and playing his music are the two things that make Vincent feel free and happy more than anything else.
    GRADE
    Sophomore
    MUSICAL INFLUENCES
    Vincent has been influenced by a range of musicians through the ages. From oldies such as Elvis Presely, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis, to more modern artists such as The Vandals, Suicidal Tendencies, and Subhumans. He fondly remembers long car trips with his mother, punk-rock bands blasting from the speakers. However, The song “I Saw Your Mommy" By Suicidal Tendencies is one song he cannot listen to without feeling anxious and deeply disturbed.
    EXTRA TALENTS
    Mechanical knowledge, Connections in the fashion industry through his father, knowledge of business practices, works well at social functions
    Likes
    Motorcycles, Classic Cars, Vintage Things, 1950-1970, 50s, 60s, and 70s Dancing, Working with his Hands, His Ibanez SR870 Bass Guitar, Playing Guitar, Singing (even though he's awful)
    Dislikes
    Cars made after 2000, Snobby Rich People, His Father, Sedentary Work (Office Work, School Work)​

    in depth appearance.

    Kat's natural hair colour is dark brown, but she is recently in the habit of bleaching it blonde or dying it purple or teal. She is of just above average height and has a slender frame. One of her favourite features is the smattering of freckles across her cheeks. Her brother Archer actually nicknamed her 'Freckles'. Kat's dress sense is fairly casual and consists mostly of skinny jeans, plaid shirts, band tees and Vans. She will nearly always be wearing a long necklace of some sort with her outfits, and it is rare to see her in a dress or skirt (though they suit her well).






    musical influences.

    Kat loves all kinds of music since her father had an eclectic collection that she was exposed to from birth. Her musical influences range from Buddy Holly and Ella Fitzgerald to Kurt Cobain and My Chemical Romance. Her favourite singer is Lzzy Hale from the band Halestorm.

NAME
River Valente
AGE
20
INSTRUMENT
Guitar, Bass guitar, *able to* sing
PERSONALITY
River is a man who doesn't spend much time talking about himself, which leads to his friends not actually... knowing much about him. Most of his time seems to be spent either asleep or trying to get there, which doesn't allow for much socialization. River's friend group doesn't extend very far, but that doesn't seem to bother him. To the average observer, River could be considered a lazy hangaround, never really contributing to conversations, but those who know him well know River to be dependable and selfless, willing to do whatever it takes for his friends, even if it takes him a minute to get up and do it. He may be quiet, not often speaking unless spoken to, but he always offers an ear to his friend's problems and a shoulder to cry on.
APPEARANCE
Tall and lean, River stands around 6'2", fairly muscular for being so skinny but by no means is he a strong man. Tan skin, dark brown hair worn in a long messy flop, light brown eyes thin an bordering between alert and relaxed, as if always taking in the details. His left forearm and hand are covered in tattoos, intricate symbols and designs closely resembling henna.
BRIEF HISTORY
Born in Portland, Oregon, to a single mother, River was a happy child. They lived a modest lower class life, though River never knew truly how low for years to come, always interested in music but never able to afford an instrument. As a boy, the arts fascinated him, eager to improve his skill as a graffiti artist, learn to play guitar, draw, paint, whatever he could do to express himself. Never a stellar student, River pushed himself to graduate with a focus on the arts, obvious shortcomings in maths and sciences forcing him to work himself harder than the other kids. He held a few odd jobs through high school to help his mother, as well as finance his passions for music and art, lifeguard, cashier, artist for hire, etc. Eventually he had worked hard enough to be accepted to a community college in California, moving to further his career and passions, a focus on music and art.
GRADE
Sophomore
MUSICAL INFLUENCES
River's musical influences are mainly a mix of Nu-Metal, punk rock, and some fairly underground rock sources, i.e. Nothingface, Mudvayne, Killing Joke, Deftones
EXTRA TALENTS
Modest lyricist, artist of considerable skill

  • Teddy Nario






    Drummer
















    age.


    18












    gender.


    non-binary












    instrument.


    Drums, Piano

    hazel












    hair color.


    strawberry blonde


























    appearance.


    Teddy has cropped strawberry blonde hair which they most definitely chop themselves when they think it is too long. They stand at 5'10 but have a tendency to slouch. They have pale skin and rosy cheeks- they always say they were built for spring as they cannot tan so well. Their finger is a bit lanky and awkward, but when doing something they are good at they seem more graceful than their usual baby-deer like state. They have hazel colored eyes and rather bushy eyebrows which they just let grow from fear of overplucking












    musical influences.


    Teddy grew up in a family of christian rock and hymns and absolutely abhors such music. They also have a special hatred in their heart for christmas music. They do, however, love the classics. When their mother was not making them play in their worship band, they were studying 60's, 70's, and 80's punk and rock masters. Of course, their taste in music is "anything that makes me remember my heart is in my chest." From Led Zeppelin to Fall Out Boy to Gene Krupa to Tom Petty, they respect the greatest and love those who try. They even like taking non percussion based songs and playing around to make it have drums. They only ask that you refrain from bringing up whether they are a 'drummer' or 'drummist' because they still do not know what the correct answer is.
