Members
Couzin Eddie L. Boe: a dwarf with a drumstick lodged in his forehead after a pyrotechnic accident. He used to be a drummer for a semi-popular country metal band called Violent Voodoo based out of New Orleans before the accident. Instead of having the drumstick removed, he sharpened the end of it to a fine point, quit playing the drums all together, and quit the band. The injury changed his personality according to close acquaintances, making him more outgoing and wild as well as impulsive.
He takes up the frontman position, singing the majority of the songs they write, as well as playing the banjo. He brings a mix of metal and rockabilly to the band's repertoire.
Frank Starkovich: A human immigrant from Ukraine, formerly the bassist of a very popular rock band there named Криваві обличчя (Bloody Faces). He was ousted from the band due to his obscene drug habits, the others wanting the band to keep up a straight edge appearance despite their behind the scenes drug use. Needless to say, he did not take it very well and took it out on the general public, making frequent tabloid appearances and such until he finally moved to NYC to pursue a new music career. He soon became friends with a girl named Brit Morris whom he crashed with, becoming a roadie for her band while he tried to form his own. After an incident that nearly left Brit dead, they both fled to CAS, following the advice of a spirit watching over them, soon crossing paths with Eddie, joining him.
Frank's abnormally long, skinny fingers make elevate his bass playing skills to new heights, each finger able to strum a string individually, making his rhythm unique in style. He also takes the lead vocalist spot on most of the songs that he writes. He brings an alternative rock sound and styling to the band's image.
Brit Morris: A human girl who used to be part of a Riot Grrl punk band in NYC called The Roaring Individuals. She is a very controversial individual by nature, calling out injustices of all kinds from small policlubs to megacorps in her music, garnering hatred from many groups. This hatred culminated in an attempted murder of Brit one night after a show where a man had fatally stabbed her. Luckily, Frank was there to fight off the man, but there was seemingly nothing anyone could do as she lost consciousness. As her body became paler and paler, a spirit came upon them, seeing the dying woman, it took pity on her and healed her, saving her life. Her complexion never recovered, making her look like a living corpse with how pale she is. In return to saving her life, Brit devoted herself to the spirit that saved her, following its advice. It led her and Frank down to New Orleans where they crossed paths with Ed, the spirit telling her that he will lead them to glory.
Willie Maykit on drums, he used to be a part of a Canadian comedy band called The Hideous Tan Wannabees until the entire band was killed, leaving him as the sole survivor.
Unkal Jed on fiddle, Ed's uncle and multiple felon. He's legally not allowed near most public places.
Rob N. T. Prez-0-Dent: Not much is known about Rob. They're a mute and never shows their face, always hiding it under a paper bag. They change the bag frequently when left alone to display their mood through funny/vulgar/disturbing phrases or drawings on the bags. They communicate not through sign language, but musical instruments, using certain tones and riffs to answer people. They seem to know how to play any instrument given to them, but seems to be most drawn to instruments usually found with ska bands such as trumpets, trombones and keyboards.
The Spirit Of The Mountain: on synths, the very entity that resurrected Brit and Rob. It can also take control of the entire band for a short time to perform whatever it wants.
Any PCs associated with this group are 'reserve members' of the band - friends who occasionally perform with them.
