Hey guys, thought I might drop in a character request for the lead singer.
Let me know if this works for you!
Player Name: Blueeyedbard
Name: Otto Fischer
Age: 20
Sex: Male
Orientation: Straight (except for when he is very drunk or very high. Then all bets are off)
Height: 1.85 meters
Weight: 84kg
Character description (pictures are accepted):Otto is tall and slender, with barely an ounce of body fat on him. This was due to a diet of primarily caffeine and nicotine. He is covered in piercings and tattoos. Some of which done in a less than professional setting, giving him the scars to go with. Then again, how to discern the scars from bad tats, apart from the scars from fights, would be a challenge all its own.
Band Position: Singer
Personality: when it comes to people he doesn't know, Otto is the strong, silent type, on the verge of being the angry violent type. Even the fans of the band don't always claim him as their favorite, seeing him as a bit of an asshole. Though the fans that get him, and are into his fuck the world and everyone in it attitude, he is a huge favorite.
To his friends he is always quick with a joke and ready to leand a hand when needed. While he may be very rough around the edges, he is fiercely loyal. The type who would run head first into a fist fight for you, without even asking why, and at the end of the night he would be sitting right next to you in a jail cell saying "They're lucky the fuzz showed up. Another minute and we'dve killed 'em"
History:Otto was born in Munich, Germany to a mother and father who had no business having children. Both alcoholics and recreational drug users, who skirted between jobs every couple of weeks or so, and could barely remember that they needed to put food on the table, let alone put aside for it. Because of this Otto grew up mostly as a hood on the streets.
He always had friends, and he always stuck with them, through good and bad. Unfortunately, most of it was bad. Vandalism mostly, and shoplifting now and then. Not out of need, just because that's what his friends did, and they were all he had. So that's what he did. Even when things shifted to drinking, and smoking weed, he didn't shy away. After all, look at his upbringing.
If there was one good thing about his friends, it was that they were very in with the music scene in the area, and Otto got to experience different bands of all kinds. He started writing lyrics, and then music (though crudely). There was even a time when he was invited to sing for some musicians that were in between a front man at the time, and learned that he actually had a great voice and presence for the stage.
Of course playing around with music could only happen at the club's late at night. During the day you had to figure out a way to get cash.
His friends convinced him to boost a car with them. That was his first run in with the police. After an inspection of his home, the social worker sent him to live with his grandma in America. Land of opportunity. That's when he really started to focus on his music writing, and worked to find a band of his own.
