Chaotic, impulsive, cocky, and sensory-driven. Uses humour and banter as a defence, but is deeply loyal beneath the chaos. Constantly restless and creatively overstimulated.
Habits: constant movement, skateboarding, fidgeting, provoking chaos (mosh pits), hyper-awareness of small details.

6’3”, muscular, light brown (often dyed) shaggy hair, green eyes, heavily tattooed. Style: leather, skinny jeans, combat boots, silver rings. Scent: cedarwood, cigarette.
Moody, controlled, and highly observant. A perfectionist with a strong need for precision and control; keeps his emotional distance but is deeply loyal to a select few.
Habits: obsessively organises gear, labels cables, adjusts synths, fidgets with rings.
Emotional states: quiet when safe, cutting when cornered, explosive when pushed too far, withdrawn when sad.

6’1”, lean, wiry build, pale skin, cobalt blue hair, amber eyes. Style: an industrial-feminine mix of lace, leather, chokers and rings. Wears skirts. Scent: metallic and jasmine.
A teasing, strategic trickster with high emotional intelligence. Thrives on ambiguity, misdirection, and psychological play. Uses identity fluidity as a form of performance and presence rather than an explanation.

Disciplined, precise, quietly playful, and strategic. A highly controlled personality with a touch of mischief. Loyal and down-to-earth, she values structure, timing, and efficiency over flair.

26, female, bisexual. Frontwoman of Dodgy Hearts
5’7”, compact muscular build. Shaggy blonde hair (often dyed), green eyes, tattoos, faint self-harm scars. Multiple piercings. Style: leather, corsets, boots, eyeliner, rings.
Magnetic, theatrical, and commanding presence. Small but commanding, she naturally commands attention through her charisma, movement, and the intensity of her performance. Hedonistic, teasing, and sarcastic, yet deeply protective of her inner circle. Rarely vulnerable unless she chooses to be.
Habits: flicks jewellery when speaking, collects trinkets, meticulously plans stage presence, provokes bandmates for reactions.
Emotional states: playful when safe, sharp and dominating when cornered, controlled and precise when angry, quietly withdrawn when sad.

Playful, mischievous and extremely loyal. Carefree, yet emotionally sensitive, with a strong protective instinct towards her chosen family. Competitive in a light-hearted, teasing way, but deeply loyal.
Habits: constantly fiddles with her picks, climbs or moves around the room, taps out rhythms, ‘checks in’ on how people are doing after gigs.
Moods: loud and expressive when she feels confident; serious and protective when cornered; briefly explosive, then calm when angry; quiet and defensive when sad.
