Character(s) B(urn)ing, Battle of the bands.

[ShannonChesterton]

Concept: A five member band of females.
Reason: I once came up with an idea for a battle of the bands kind of roleplay that slowly devolved into a dating sim-esque romance scenario. I've always wanted to make bios for these characters so what better place to do that than here? The idea was to have these five perform against several bands but my partner controlled a rival band that went up against mine. It was a cute idea but it never got very far. I might also post my ideas for the other four if I feel up to it. <3

Forever yours, Chesterton.​

Savannah Carmichael.
Stage Name: Red
Position: Lead Vocalist
Age: 19
Personal Songs: Silhouette, Requiem for a Tryhard, Laser pointer, Nevertheless.
Biography: Savannah was born to Maria Carmichael and Jason Martin, a sworn judge and a stay at home army veteran respectively. She was raised in a somewhat happy home under somewhat strict and orderly guidelines. Food was separated on her plate and clothing was to be worn in need and tidy order at every occasion. Even as she advanced through her elementary schooling she made sure to avoid chaos and disorder even if it meant distancing herself from friends she deemed troublesome. This state of mind left her stranded in an otherwise sheltered life with little chance for risk taking until she managed to enroll in university. She was practically a shoe in to receive a complete scholarship until her mother suggested she enroll in at least one academic extra curricular before graduating high school. She was hesitant to try anything outside of her norms but she knew she couldn't get far in life disobeying her mother. She took to choir and in time met Margot, a cunning girl with a knack for fashion. It was Margot who stubbornly jammed herself into Savannah's life and forced her to try new things, much to the latter's reluctance.

Savannah wouldn't admit it but after time she took to Margot's antics and before long the two became inseparable. Their antics became quite problematic soon after when Margot came up with the brilliant idea to showcase her friend's talents one night at an open karaoke bar. The terrified brunette took the stage and wowed an unsuspecting audience with her ability to belt out soothing yet powerful melodies that spoke to even the most intoxicated. They knew that then Savannah had to keep singing publicly and Margot, ever the exhibitionist, demanded that she help and be at the forefront with her! The two decided to attend the same university together but they had more than perfect grades on their mind. They'd take their campus by storm with their new rock band, of course...they'd have to find other members first.

Physical Description: A lithe young woman with long brown hair kept straight. Her fashion is very down to earth girl, sporting vests and jackets over tees ranging from subtle to graphic. She usually sticks to khaki short pants and skinny jeans to keep every inch of her clothing from unneeded sagging. She even makes sure to wear a hairband to keep her hair back and away from her eyes. The picture of order.

Why did you decide to start singing professionally?

"Well it actually wasn't my idea. I wanted to stick to my choir practice but it was Margot who got the idea to put me on stage. I don't know if my parents want me to perform this kind of music but what kind of choice do I have huh? If I don't do my best, I'll let people down. I-It's not an excuse, I mean that. "

Do you enjoy being the leader of a band?

"I wouldn't say I'm the leader. I'm the lead 'singer' but that doesn't mean anything. If anything Margot is the one that makes it all happen. We help eachother when we can, even Christina helps out when she's up to it. I like to think we all take the reigns every now and then. "

What would your most fond memories be?

"When I first performed on stage. It was truly a magical moment for me. I might've been terrified enough to shake in front of all of those people but I still kept going, even when my knees were touching from the fear. Margot might say it was all her idea but... I like to think that I took the stage willingly...or at least, wishfully.

Margot Charleston
Stage Name: Brown
Position: Lead Guitar
Age: 19
Personal Songs: Can you not?, Care for me, Lifelines, Hearty Smile
Biography: Margot has always been known for being the most fashionable young seamstress one could find on such short notice. Her mother was a corner store owner and her mother in law managed a clothing store so you could say showmanship and an eye for style came easy to her. She could sell the shirt off someone's back and sew a new one with the scraps! This particular talent got her far and made her rather popular as she ascended through school. Being the pretty girl with lots of talent just game easy to her so when her friends joined choir to spread their popularity elsewhere, Margot was quick to follow the leaders. Margot didn't have the kind of voice to really surprise and wow her classmates but she took to reading and translating music quickly which helped her get close to Savannah, a genuine talent with a bit of a shy side.

The two took a bit of time to get close to each other but before long they became fast friends and Margot found herself wanting to hang out with the frumpy girl more and more instead of her own high born companions. This caused a bit of minor dissension amongst the ranks of high school hierarchy however, leading to poor Margot's own house being desecrated with toilet paper and rotten eggs in the process. The resourceful fashionista refused to let her youthful fun be spoiled by a few rotten apples and this act of regression only solidified her love for being around Savannah, so much so that she pushed the shy songstress to perform at a local karaoke bar where bigger ideas for their future began!

Margot then came up with a glorious idea to form an all female rock band. At first she wanted to see what kind of talents she could showcase with a medium so new but soon her motive for the band dissolved into Savannah. She wanted to show the world the shy little worker bee and let the world come to grips with the fact that true beauty and talent can come from anywhere and anyone, even someone who isn't as cute as their guitarist anyway!

Dislikes: Broken guitar strings, Expansive guitar solos, Fingernail artists, Actual bugs, Hot deserts.
Physical Description: Margot always makes sure to take into account where she's going and who she's hanging out with before changing anything about her appearance. She'll straighten her hair to show off her neck and earrings, she'll curl her hair to match a sprightly outfit and tight skirt. She'll do just about anything it takes to make sure that everything on her body makes sense from the accessories on her fingers to the rings on her toes. At her base she's a sprightly young girl with deep brown hair. She's experimented with blonde highlights but she's never fully dyed her hair before. Her nails are always painted for the gods and she always makes sure to wear a different hat with her favorite being the flitted bowler hat.

You look so comfortable onstage, have you always played guitar with such grace?

"Um, not really...hehe, I've just kind of picked it up a few months ago. What?! Don't look at me like that, I practice really hard so I don't mess up Savannah. I guess I just keep a cool head on stage and smile a lot 'cuz I feel comfortable. I put a lot of work into looking this cheap you know and when I see the eyes of all boys in the audience who wanna get it and all the girls in the audience who wanna buy what I'm wearing, it makes me happy! Get it? Well...get...it you know? Hehe!"

Why do you work so hard to make sure the band gets gigs?

"Oh! You heard about that, well...we're still really knew and Savannah isn't very outward and expressive you know. I'll get our name out there so everyone can see how good we are and how great we look! Nina is pretty good at keeping face with principles at school and big business types but it's up to me to make sure we're the name on everyone's lips, especially the younger crowd see? I'll do anything from making merch to seeling it baby if it makes us stars!"

We have to ask, what's your relationship status exactly?

"Well...it's top secret but I am currently looking for someone. I can't tell you what my type is just yet but I'm hoping he'll see me staring one day and come running. That's the goal anyway...sounds kinda cryptic right? Eh, it's how my moms met...they just met each other one day in a big clothing store chain. One saw the other and they couldn't stop walking towards each other until they were talking. My guy will stop whatever he's doing to get next to me. That's the goal. I have to believe it. "
