Dalia Abe
The Mess of A Mysterious Love Interest

Quotes
”I used to catch feelings. Now I just throw them in the fire before anyone gets burned.”

“Well, I guess I have to use my secret weapon... money... So how much do I have to pay you to get out of this?”

“Everything is going to be wonderful, lovely, and fine!... it’s not is it?”

Age
23

Personality
A porcelain Barbie doll that’s falling apart

Dalia comes off as surprisingly bubbly and optimistic. Attempting to start her life over, the female often tries to maintain a bright outlook on life with a mostly cheery, slightly air headed, and extroverted demeanor with a thirst for adventure, a dramatic streak, and surprisingly sharp tongue when someone pushes her. That is not to say there are no signs of her past breaking her down.

Behind the dramatically cheery demeanor she puts up is a girl who has suffered the consequences of being spoiled rotten. She has an awfully low image of herself, struggling to connect with others out of fear of that they will simply get harmed and become another corrupted villain like her exes and often treating issues as predestined karma for her previous actions with a fake smile and dry laugh. She also has a tendency to deny issues involving her mindset and lifestyle and remain blindly optimistic in hopes to just remain optimistic and continue living peacefully. Is there a chance the chronic emptiness she is feeling is because she misses intimacy? Nah she probably is just hungry. Could there be a chance her most recent ex may be hellbent on winning her heart? Nah, she just happens to see him... a lot. Is there a possibility she’s shrugging off all possible problems out of paranoia of her past coming back to haunt her or worse especially now that she has exceptionally less wealth to defend herself with?

Nah. Everything’s fine.

Abilities
Wealth
When describing her abilities, Dalia would like to just say she’s a mundane Batman. Through her wealth and spoiled lifestyle (not to mention multiple gifts from her exes), she has bought and received multiple random devices that always seem to be in her purse or backpack (which never seems to run out of space (where she got itshe never seems to remember)) when it is convenient. Paired with her lessons in various combat styles, the female and her bag of “stuff” can prove to be a viable threat.

Backstory
She was born into a lap of luxury, everything went downhill after that

Dalia was born a heiress of a massive conglomerate, silver spoon in mouth and all. Spoiled rotten since birth yet being under constant pressure seeing as she was expected to inherit the company from birth, Dalia found herself avoiding that life of luxury and its expectations simply to party, live life to the fullest, and well... date. Many people. All of which have ended badly from the baddest of the bad boys she dated in high school to her childhood best friend. However after an incident she refuses to speak about, she seemed to ditch love altogether to simply drift aimlessly from interest to interest simply to stop feeling numb.

Unfortunately that could not last forever. Despite there not existing much information on what happened exactly with her family’s conglomerate refusing to disclose much information about it, a failure to unite with another company warranted Dalia’s father to begin making cuts on Dalia’s access to the fortune until she can prove herself to be a suitable heir to the company. Now with a much more limited budget, Dalia has begun her life as a business major in college in hopes that she could simply brush off the complications of her past and start a new life.

Unfortunately, no matter what she has in purse, that doesn’t seem to be the case.​

Jerry Bennett
The "Hero" of our story.

Quote(s):
"I wish I could save-scum with real life."

"I'm a bassist because I rock! Not because I'm ugly. Who said I was ugly?!"

"Plot armor, don't fail me now!"

Age
24

Personality
He's a good guy...he just doesn't know it yet.

Jerry is in his own words, an awesome, handsome, super cool guy who everyone should hang out with, whose due for his meteoric rise to fame any second now. In reality however, he's actually kind of a stand off-ish, obnoxious, neurotic geek who just so happens to play bass good enough for his friends to keep him in their band. He carries himself like he is this popular, confident, skillful guy, when really he's just an obnoxious nerd who's friends basically hang out with him through obligation rather than actual genuine feelings of companionship. Deep down, Jerry is a good natured heartfelt guy, it'll just take a lot of coaxing and work in order for him to get over the more negative aspects of his personality.


Abilities
Fighting
Jerry grew up going to rough schools with bad kids, and thus had to learn quickly how to deal with bullies. He's always been a skilled fighter, be it just from his natural strength, or his savant-like replication of special moves he saw in video games or pro wrestling moves he saw on TV. Due to the number of schoolyard brawls he's been involved in since his early ages, he's also built up quite the durability, being able to shrug off most attacks. ​

Shrewd Wit
While by no means a genius, Jerry is quite clever when backed into a corner, possessing the ability to think on his feet and plan strategies accordingly, sometimes even being able to talk his way out of disastrously awkward situations.

Bassist
Jerry can play a mean base. He's not so good at composing the music himself, but he does know his way around a guitar. Having played since he was a kid, it's a natural talent for him. Not that anyone notices due to his absent minded personality.

Backstory
Jerry lived the simple life of a suburban teenager. Going to school, picking fights with bullies, practicing bass, ignoring his homework to play video games, but that all changed when he came to a startling realization. His next door neighbor Dinah Kane was hot. He didn't know what it was about her...her tough as nails nihilistic personality? Her brute strength that let her toss around football players twice her size like they were yesterday's garbage? The two had been friends since childhood, it was predestined due to them being neighbors, but by the time they both reached their teenage years, it just seemed to clique. They did everything together. Watch movies, play video games, fight off bullies, she would even accompany his bass with her drums during their weekly jam sessions.
It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, however. Things got...awkward by junior year. See, Jerry's mom and Dinah's dad were both divorced...luckily though, they started seeing people again. Seeing each other that is. It got even more awkward when their parents decided to get married. Given they would be step siblings soon, it seems they had no choice but to break it off. What Dinah didn't admit however was that Jerry...was kind of an asshole. She had been planning to dump him days before her father would pop the question, she just didn't have the heart to tell him. Sure, Jerry was an ass, but he didn't seem to realize it.
Jerry knew something was up, due to Dinah growing much colder and more disaffected than normal, but it didn't seem to clique to him that maybe he was the problem. It was just because their parents got hitched, right? Right.....
Years later, Jerry had dropped out of college after a failed attempt at majoring in music, flunking out of his classes and generally losing interest in all forms of study. After couch surfing for a few months, two with former classmate Billy Barnes, and an awkward three with Dinah (who would threaten to kick him out almost every day), he was finally taken in by his old college roommate Hector Morgan, who took pity on him against his better judgement. Thankfully, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Billy had recently gotten into contact with both Jerry and Dinah, with a proposition for the two of them. He could sing and play guitar, she could play drums, and Jerry could play base. And like it or not, the three of them were colossal nerds. WIth that, their band "Project 64" was born. Hopefully, they'll be able to get a gig that'll put them on the map soon...if not, it'll require a miracle to get Jerry out of this emotional rut he's dug himself into...

[MainEventMan]

Billy Barnes
"The Superstar"

Quote(s)
"What rhymes with bologna? We're on a time crunch here!"

"Leave it all on stage. That way we can't be judged if we suck."

"We're our own manager! ...No other manager will take us."

Age
26

Personality
Billy is usually a calm, laid back individual in any normal situation. Obsessed with music, he's usually seen wearing a pair of earbuds, writing down notes for potential songs the band may end up recording and/or writing. He truly has a passion for rock music, as evidenced by his workaholic nature whenever the band gets together to rehearse. He's a bit of a perfectionist, his nerves constantly getting the better of him whenever they practice, let alone perform. If the band does happen to score a gig, regardless of the venue and attendance count, Billy will be a nervous wreck, always worrying about potential flaws in their set, even worst case scenario situations such as a meteor striking the stage and killing them all on the spot. Despite this however, he is a good natured guy, if a bit neurotic due to his desire to be as good a musician as he can possibly be.

Abilities
Prodigy Musician
For as long as Billy could remember, he's always had an interest in music. He can play most instruments flawlessly, but his favorite has always been lead guitar. His main flaw is that he often forgets the fundamentals of his musical training when his nerves get the better of him, but when it comes to playing just for fun, he does have the potential to be a real star some day.

Backstory
Billy comes from a long line of musicians, music being in his family literally for generations. His grandfather played the accordion, while his father taught him everything he knew about the guitar. From a young age, Billy felt comfortable on the stage, making a name for himself in his hometown by playing adequate covers of already existing songs in local talent shows and open mic nights. Having graduated college with a bachelor's degree in Music Theory, he aims to be one of America's next great stars. Once graduating he joined a Green Day cover band and toured for a while, but he eventually left over what he calls "Creative Differences" (really it was because the band thought he was a neurotic control freak). After finding out two of his old college buddies Jerry Bennett and Dinah Kane live nearby his apartment in New York, he quickly called them up, aiming to start a new band, which will hopefully take the world by storm. Until then, he's the manager of the local record store, having small panic attacks every time he reads an article about how digital music is killing the record industry.​

Dinah Kane
"The Cool One"

Quote(s)
"I'd kick your teeth in, but I don't wanna have to pay for new boots."

"He said he dated his sister!? Ugh, we're step-siblings. STEP-SIBLINGS!"

"WE ARE PROJECT 64! WE PLAY SONGS ABOUT VIDEO GAMES AND SHIT! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!"

Age
22
Personality:
To put it bluntly, Dinah hates just about everything and everyone. Including you, the person reading this. She has a very gruff, nihlistic outlook on life, choosing to put up a cold front and not deal with anyone's little petty problems. Funnily enough, everyone else in her family is chipper and positive, loving life and everyone in it. No one knows why Dinah is this way. It's just how she is. She has little patience for stupidity, and will be quick to correct anyone if given the chance. Not out of any feelings of superiority, she just doesn't like it when dumb people say dumb things. Under her gruff exterior is someone who does care for those closest to her, and will do anything to help and protect them, she just doesn't show that side of her personality often. If ever.

Abilities
Helluva Drummer
If there's one thing Dinah is good at, it's playing the drums. She's known for intense riffs and solos, seeming to be right at home when she's allowed to hammer away at the drum set she keeps in her basement. She attributes it to being able to take out her frustrations on the instrument without hurting anyone, but most people conclude that she's just good.

Above Average Strength
Dinah is no stranger to a fight, and loves nothing more than putting upstart punks in their place. She is much stronger than she appears, able to toss around men with the physiques of bodybuilders like they were nothing, sometimes punching holes through walls if she's mad enough.

Backstory
The Drummer of Project 64 and Jerry Bennett's first ex girlfriend. Although if you talked to her yourself, she would leave out the latter half of that introduction. She grew up next door to Jerry and the two naturally hit it off come high school. Once Jerry started acting more and more like an ass with each passing day however, she made plans to break it off. She was almost thankful for her dad marrying his mom...it saved her the trouble of having to be brutally honest with him. As far as Jerry knows, they broke up because of that, and she plans to keep it that way. Oh, she'll still let him know how much of an idiot he is for not showing up to band practice, mooching off of her for months, and being a general nuisance, but she's not ready to tell him the real reason why she broke it off...she doesn't know how he'd handle it.​

Justin Camson
The First Ex: The Superstar

Quotes
“What can I say princess? He offered me a sponsor.”

“And then the waiter made a second coffee, this time with enough sugar so I wasn’t dying from the bitterness. So yeah guys, that’s the story of how I almost got poisoned.“

“No hard feelings man. Just gotta kill ya and be the dashingly handsome hero, y’know?”

Age
24

Personality
Imagine every self centered, air-headed, and just excruciatingly annoying online star you know of. Well Justin Camson isn’t like that. He’s different as he says. It’s because he’s all of them combined. Despite his rather laid back and charismatic persona, the male is shallow and self obsessed with a desire to be the constant center of attention whether it be through subtly exaggerating things or just being as sickly charming and desperate as possible. And while this has allowed him to receive not only some wealth but a reputation as a incredibly popular and well liked star, he isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the box. He lives in his bubble and doesn’t seem to pay proper attention to his surroundings as seen when he considers himself a hero despite literally now getting a sponsor from E.E.L. (The Evil Exes League). Luckily his looks and way with words seem to make up for his lack of brains.

Abilities
Sponsors
Thanks to his popularity, Justin has multiple sponsors. If he does continue to advertise their products with at least one social media post per five minutes, he receives power ups in the form of the products they sell. These include: a flaming sword, a heal all soup, and speed enhanced heelies. Also wireless earphones that don’t do anything other than make him feel superior to you because you don’t have them. Ya loser.

Basic Self Defense
Justin is an Internet Star who has posted some gaming videos. He has been trained both properly in classes by a gym that sponsors him and video games. Because of this, he is able to defend himself decently in a fight when it comes to simply combat. He can easily be beaten with a punch to the face though (it’s the moneymaker y’know?).

Excessively Good Looks
He has a way with words and is just handsome. He has the smile known to temporarily blind anyone who looks directly in them and eyes that seem to be almost stunning, it’s no wonder he has a huge devoted fan base (don’t worry. They likely won’t intervene during any fights but certainly most of the support will be for him).

Backstory
Justin has a surprisingly normal life. He was the youngest out of four so he easily could slip his crimes under his parents’ noses considering the amount of attention he would get. This along with this innate desire for attention that he so lacked in his household led to him building quite the reputation in lower school in various ways (Being good at playground games, Bringing the coolest toys, all the flashy stuff that blows kids’ minds). This reputation lasted into middle school however simple toys couldn’t retain popularity anymore. Instead it was showing up at parties, pulling the wickedest pranks, and of course as the hormones came in, getting a girlfriend. So out of obligation, Justin got together with Dalia, who at the time, simply wanted to follow the fad for her own amusement. Neither put much effort in the relationship, only holding hands, smiling, and looking pretty for the public. It wasn’t much surprise that the two broke up when they discovered they were heading to different high schools though while Dalia bounced on to greater and more amusing things without hesitation, Justin did decide to frame her as the villain who truly messed up in the relationship simply to keep up his reputation and no admit he entered a loveless relationship simply for the sake of seeming cool. Luckily, with the two heading to different highschools, not much drama was incited because of this. Justin continued on with his life, starting his Youtube channel in highschool and due to its success and his failing grades, graduated from highschool and rather than going to college, focused on building his Internet career. Now with millions of subscribers and multiple sponsors, he lives that he has dreamed of. Though after a fairly recent scandal involving a company he was being sponsored by, he has been desperate for something to alleviate the disaster of the crisis. Then E.E.L approached him with a proposition.​

Hector Morgan
"The Roommate"

Quote(s)
"Thank god I'm gay. Men are easier to figure out."

"I might be a little tipsy, but who cares?! Fuck it, let's have fun!"

"I recognize you've made a decision. But given that it's a stupid decision, I'm choosing to ignore it."

Age
25

Personality
Hector is snarky, flirtatious, but otherwise charming. Between he and Jerry, he's usually seen as the brains of the duo, keeping Jerry from making dumb decisions, and always doing his best to make sure that Jerry stays on the right path in life. That, or he just enjoys raining on his parade constantly. Hector is simply along for the ride, trying to find enjoyment in life no matter where it may be. Sometimes it's helping Jerry train for his next fight, most of the time it's just getting hammered at the local bar. Whichever comes first.

Abilities
Minor Telekinesis
Hector once dated a guy with psychic powers, long story--it didn't exactly work out. Bottom line is his ex taught him some minor telekinetic techniques. Sure, he can't do anything more than psychically dry his clothes off after a storm, or lift small objects up off the ground with his mind, but it's still a cool trick for parties.

Connections Everywhere
"I know a guy."
Hector was a very popular guy back in college, making a lot of friends and seemingly having a lot of connections. Being a business major, it helps that he has really good people skills. He can get along with just about everyone he talks to, and as a result, he has a connection for almost every conceivable situation. Can't get into that exclusive bar? Hector just has to make one phone call and you're good to go.

God of Cramming
Hector was a god-like student back in college. He knew how to cram for an exam just the right amount in order to come out with good scores. In real life, this means he's an expert at gathering information. If Jerry needs to know about someone's life story or weaknesses, Hector has got him covered. When he feels like it, that is.


Backstory
Hector grew up with a good family, and an even better school life. He couldn't really explain it, but people just...liked him. He never ruffled any feathers, and he always got by thanks to people finding him just so gosh darn likeable. This really helped him out in college, especially when he had to bail his roommate Jerry Bennet out of awkward situations. They seemed to have aligning goals. Jerry wanted to be a famous bassist, while Hector (like most business majors) wanted to get rich. The two agreed to work together, serving as his manager in college. Naturally, thanks to Jerry's poor attitude, this didn't work out well. Despite everything however, Hector just couldn't bring himself to cut ties with Jerry entirely. Did he actually feel bad for him? Was it some kind of instinctive motherly feeling? Did he just have nothing better to do? He didn't know, and frankly he didn't care. He just didn't want to leave an old friend in the lurch. So now, the two currently live together in a crappy one room apartment which Hector pays for using the meager salary from his job as a receptionist at the local paper supply firm. It's a humble job, but eventually he'll upgrade to that sweet corner office on Wall Street...one of these days.​
