BLUES FROM DOWN HERE -

The most realistic project I've ever embarked on and the one that I hope tears down archetypes that Bremen, Cartographer, Book of Love ETC. create. Blues from Down Here was/is to be a neverending/ongoing RP in which the characters' past and future is shaped by others' actions. The lead singer/guitarist of the band, Sam, just got out of a mental institution and the drummer, Matt, is losing his house after his wife has left him and he is left to raise his young son alone.

Jason doesn't really have any certain traits that make him special, I just make him as much like me as I possibly can. He does crazy, stupid shit and is usually seen as quite a jokey character... but he has got a very serious side to him. I have single handedly invested all of my RPing into him and that's probably why I find it so difficult to RP as anyone else. Every other time I've tried another character it just doesn't turn out the way I want it. Like you, I find that it depends what mood I'm in as to what Jason's like.

The other members of Mind are basically the other unnoticable little aspects of mine. Harry's dopeyness, Aaron's seriousness and Robert's quietness to contrast the larger than life character of Jason. Although they are named after the SOAD song partially, Mind really is my mind and they reflect my life. Started out abrasive, edgy, tense music and evolved into something quite large and dramatic. They eventually toppled and one aspect of them broke away and evolved, a.k.a Jason. He's going to learn a lot of lessons though, that maybe being like this, being a massive partier isn't always going to be the best way to get by. I have got an end for this whole Jason 'story'.

Jason is always eager to please and tries to fit in with everyone and be nice. He tries to impress people in the most absurd manners. His character is definitely hyperbole of certain traits of myself and this is intentional.

Or some shit like that.

For me I wanted to create different people for my different moods. For example, Brown Sugar

Victoria: When I feel confident and want to get myself noticed or want to reveal a story, I always play as her.
Una: When I want to give advice and not really RP, and act like a mother. Also when I want to talk about normal everyday things
Ife: When I need to gossip, chat for a whole night or talk about life, Ife is the girl I want to be.
Saffia: Very intelligent and focused. When I want to relax and not really let any stories catch my attention or get to me.
Chloe: Usually when I'm feeling very reserved or bad news has hit me, I always play as Chloe. She is very quiet and lovely but bad things are never far from her.

Sierrah and Serenity, I haven't had a chance to develop yet nor have I had time to develop my other band "Angel."

Whatever mood I'm in that is who I'll be (with an exception if I have to be someone for something i.e Victoria, as she is promoting her album now) I feel quite relaxed today so I'll probably be Una or Saffia for most of the day.

So far I've looked to actual musicians personas. John York is an attempt at a combination of John Lennon and Thom Yorke(thus his name). I don't know what I'm going to do with Kim yet, which is why I haven't used her much. I'm thinking about having her be really obnoxious, like a female Johnny Rotten, a sex symbol like Debbie Harry, or more layed back Hayley Williams type. She'll probably be a combo of the three. I was going to have big interview with her in a couple weeks to introduce her better. The other two are just kind of there. The drummer just says general stuff that John wouldn't say, and Ian is only there to bicker with John and look out for his sister. James White from Catharsis I've got down as the whole "relic of the 90's" persona, and I think I'm doing better with him. I'm not sure what to do with Ashley yet, I've got like three ideas for her. The drummer is just there. I was going to do a classical pop solo artist later in the summer; I've got ideas for him musically but I don't know what I want to do with his personality.

Well, bascially i originally modeled MattY on what i would have liked for me to happen, just basically a young rapper. But then i soon realised that if you wanna get noticed, you have to make the character have some sort of background in order to give them something to work with.
So i spent a few days trying to think of something which could influence him; and i then came up with the whole 'teen parents' and then their parents disowning both of them, so he went to live with his greatgrandparents.
That then lead on quite nicely for the greatgrandfather guy to influence MattY's biggest hit ;D

With Lucifer i just wanted an arrogant bastard... so i didnt really think much about it until probably a month or two after his initial appearance at TheUnderground LIVE! Then i spent like my whole day at school not focusing on life and trying to think of something for Lucifer ahah :') hope i didnt miss anything vital that day xD

Buzz & Hype was something similar to the above in terms of spending a day or two thinking about them; but this time i decided before using them initially ;D and i quite like the way they habe turned out so far - they seem to have been noticed ;D

Matt Young

Fathers of Fury

Other Acts Include: Parish (Michael Parish), Lucifer (James Francis), Cheating the System (Ethan Plyth, Tom Jolly, Ryan Wyler)

Erich hess appeared here with about zero back story.mainly because i've written it at least 4 different ways and didnt want to do it again.erich is proabably about 10 years old,i created him back when this place was called zigire.com.i got the name from an old psuedonym i used back in high school.erich started life as a drunk and violent punk rocker (any one remember the absinthe fiends?).as time went on he became all about good natured tomfoolery. He was always inspired by what i would do if i lived in a world with zero consequence for my actions and equipped with a bottomless supply of cash.

Karoliena verlinden,started life as karolien verlinden.karolien was my attempt at a serious sort of storyline.she was "the other woman" when erich and nina were an item.the story line ended up lame and karolien met her end plummeting off a cliff in spain.i liked the look of mistress juliya,so i went with a cliche good twin/bad twin deal.karoliena was born.though it doesnt seem like it,karoliena is just as much a drunkard as erich,but she holds her liquor better.she operates as the sensible one out of the erich/karoliena pair.

Erica,was originally supposed to be a bit character.erich was fired from the absinthe fiends and i needed someone to fill in.she started life as his actual sister,then adopted sister,then sister in bob( erich and erica are/were worshippers of bob ross).now finally,husband and wife.though erica is bisexual and actually into karoliena.erica is the most liquid of my characters.shes been represented by: janeane garafalo,gwen stefani,lea michele,and currently ai otsuka. Erica has always been a female version of erich. but less openly lustful,and slightly more bizarre.shes been straight,lesbian,bi.....towards the end of maven,she would joke that even she doesnt know what her proper canon would be.

Nina sangria, nina and erica operate as a pair.one couldnt exist without the other.they arent based off people i know, per se.but their relationship is based off of friends i had named nina and rachael. The idea behind Nina sangria is basically implied dirtiness without being crude.fun fact: nina and erica are the easiest to write.they practically write themselves.

Bettie antonov:based off of dean moriarty from "on the road."

Elvis winchester: basically a less crazed version of erich hess.much of his tale has elements of things i experianced and live near.the name elvis winchester came to me when i was driving one time under the influence of marijuana.i sorta pictured myself as a james bond sort,so i needed a cool name.thus elvis winchester.like elvis winchester, im southern,into cars,and carry a switchblade.(they're legal in florida.i carry a leverletto . a classic stiletto is basically useless for day to day needs.opening boxes,cutting apples etc etc.)
