The fistfights are a'comin with bloody knuckles and split lips @FirePolaris


Honestly, what he needs is someone who can beat his ass because he needs it.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

Once again, as far as romantic relationships go with him, it will be VERY toxic to say the least.


Also, it has to be someone who can't put up with his lip and isn't afraid to smack him across the face and call him out on his bullshit, y'know? He really digs intelligence, too. I know this isn't saying much, but Dante always has a particular type of girl/groupie he actually makes a move to go for. He likes ones he can hold a semi-intellectual conversation with before doing the do and leaving them come the morning. So he may be a big slutty man-child but at least he's a big slutty man-child with standards.

Yes, totally! Dante isn't so much a spokesperson/firebrand for Fake Beauty's cause as he is someone that's mainly in it for the kicks. Don't get me wrong, music is his heart and soul, but he's been warped and jaded so much that sometimes he has to be reminded of what Fake Beauty stands for.


He really needs professional help.

Here comes Kade, the self proclaimed therapist for the group. I'm just kidding!


So I know in Klara's writing sample, I said they have a two story apartment but it's really hard to find a two story apartment floor plan. So tossing out everything I said about apartments, the band got more popular (extra cash) and moved to their own house. The bedrooms look slightly small but let's play pretend and imagine they're big enough to fit two full size beds and two closets per bedroom. Here's a good visual I found on google.

*waggles fingers* So it's okay to go ahead and start on the discussion then, yes? *poises fingers over keyboard*


saul and dante duking it out


Lmfao. Dante could SIT on Saul and that would be the end of it. He knows enough about physics to turn tail and run if he ever manages to get himself caught in that situation. I'm not making any promises that something like that will or will not happen, tho.


Mmmmmm, his reaction depends on a lot of factors. The first few times she used that as a counter, I think he would just be... very confused. xD I feel like, before the inevitable side affect of stardom (fangirls), he wouldn't have had very many people ever try to flirt with him. I can think of one person off the top of my head that would have, so... I guess he would have eventually used that particular person as a reference the more Klara threw those pick-up lines. Anyone else and he probably missed so many social cues that the other person just... gave up on him. lol So the POINT I'm trying to get at is that he may not know if she's genuinely trying to flirt with him or not. Saul probably was very briefly worried that she had feelings for him (and how?) because they were NOT mutual. Though again, I think he would have gotten more and more used to it, and modern day he'll shoot her back a little wink and/or recite a few lines of romantic poetry right back at her.


It still kind of depends. If she says things like that repetitively and even pretend to say it kind of sensually, he would have gotten over his concerns for her feelings (?) and started to grow annoyed by it. He would have to be having a REALLY off day for something like that to anger him, esp. if she's saying them mockingly/condescendingly enough, in which I can see him literally having to bite his tongue. If her pickup lines ever get a little too deep into risque/clever euphemism territory though... he probably just won't get what she means and why she said it... then move on with his life. xD


I like all of these ideas. We could even combine them, if you want to figure that out lmao.


*hides ideas behind back*

I'm at a loss for relationships with Erik, mainly due to the fact that he feels most of his bandmates have "lost their way". The most I have is that he misses the old Dante...before all the drugs and groupies.


Btw, @Myrrh Scented, your FC is absolutely gorgeous. JS.

@AlwaysYours


Isn't he, though? It's odd, I've found many pictures of this same model online but can't find his name for the life of me, all I know is that he's Lakota.

 

[Pine]

@AlwaysYours just for quick reference, how did Erik used to act? I think maybe because of Saul's strong morals (heh) he's been maybe the most consistent which isn't necessarily a good thing.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

Oh God, @Pine. I feel so bad for Saul being roomed with Dante. He's gonna be kept up all night by him doing the boinky-boink xD

 

[Pine]

@Myrrh Scented


And I feel bad for Dante... *wicked grin* This is going to be fun.

He was pretty indie, not really caring about who liked his music or not. And really spontaneous. Like, smoking in his neighbor's empty pool level chill. Dante could have possibly been his smoke-buddy. And, fore-warning, I'm gonna pick back at Saul. Prank wars?

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@AlwaysYours


I'm totally down with plotting out the history between Erik and Dante pre-Fake Beauty if you're down.

 

[Polaris.]

Okayyy! Roommates assignment is officially done! And @everyone, yes we can start on relationships so go all out!


Unfortunately, I got to step out and get some food so I won't be able to join this journey of pranks and what not until later. (:'() Feel free to think of first impressions/categories with Klara and tag me. I'll add to it when I get back.


@Pine LOL Klara will probably dish it out a few times but there's just so much googled pick up lines she can find for everyone. I really like the whole misunderstanding where Saul thinks she likes him for a while now. She probably never noticed it though so it'll make the situation even funnier.

[/QUOTE]
Well, currently I'm toying around with a "savior" complex with Erik in regards with Dante. To the lengths where he gets caught up in the disastrously drug-fueled mayhem that is the guy. So...maybe they have a deeper history?


OMG, "Echo" by Incubus starts playing while I'm typing this out. Give it a listen and you'll see why I'm dying with laughter.

 

[Sasil]

Emg I have so much to catch up on. Well, I am here and I will get on to catching up.

 

[Novus]

@Sasil! Yo! Hi, I'm always and my Character will rooming with yours!

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@AlwaysYours


More like "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence LOL.


Anyways, totally down with the Savior complex, but when I say history I mean like the back story, how/when/where did they meet before signed by Nova?

 

[Novus]

@Myrrh Scented Oh, I know you did...I just thought that if we knew the now, we could piece together the then. Maybe Erik wasn't originally part of the band? And, when there was an audition, he blew it out of the park. And then, Dante found out that he was getting evicted within the week of... so they were originally roommates for a period.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@AlwaysYours


Dante's pretty much always been sort-of a mischievous problem child, but back when Erik and him were roomates it was more of just a way to pass time and be a lil' shit than having a God-complex and feeling entitled to everything and everyone.


Plus, maybe back then he wasn't all hyped up on drugs and was actually a genuinely cool person to just talk to and chill and crack jokes with. He's always had the soul of a rock star, though!


So, like you said, he was a person that actually knew how to properly handle stress and emotions and was always a shoulder to cry on and Erik really gravitated towards that.


Oh God, this is making me emotional, just thinking about what Dante put him through after all this fame and fortune, that he's just a hollow zombified shell of what he used to be.

 

[Sasil]

I pledge my soul to @AlwaysYours great to meet you hopefully our characters will be friends

​

 

[Myrrh Scented]

As far as other relationships go, now that I think about it, I'm totally down with having at least ONE person in the band that absolutely despises him, and of course, romance

[/QUOTE]Yes, Dante is the personification of what he hates about the new way they do things. Sometimes it infuriates him to no end, knowing that one off his closest friends is willing to himself wither into nothing. What holds him back is the fact that he doesn't want to burst that already thin bubble keeping Dante the least bit sane.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@AlwaysYours


One thing that would probably COMPLETELY wreck him (in both a good and bad way) on the inside and out would be bringing him back to a spot they used to hang out all the time one night and just Erik unloading everything on him. All of his thoughts, feelings, etc. and telling Dante that HE'S the one that fucked up his own life and that HE'S the one that needs to make a difference in his own life rather than snort lines of cocaine off of the back of the toilet in a bathroom stall, get blackout wasted and then fighting his own band members over menial events, and bang random chicks he just met in an effort to fill some sort of emotional gap in his life.


Yes, yes. Torment Dante's very being.

 

[Trace]

I'm with friends right now so I probably can't get much of my two cents in but I totally will soon. Maybe later, later tonight. Also I am totally lurking in on your guys' conversations when I can bwahaha.

 

[Polaris.]

LOL Back and slightly lost with the whole conversation. The friendship seems so deep and angsty. Yay for bromance. And no worries, as a funeral gift, I will offer up Dante to you over the net.


@AlwaysYours I understand how Erik feels broken up about Dante due to the drastic before and after. It's slightly hard for me to comprehend how he'd view every other bandmates. Like @Pine said, Saul didn't change much so I'm assuming you mean how the Entertainment change from being a revolution to bring back music to just pleasing the audience and digging out scandals. And the bandmates who used to play together for the sake of music now only play songs to please the audience or compete with looks/exposure instead of actual music? Something like that?


Once again, it has been three years so if there's a couple going steady, I will only allow ONE. The rest of you have to get there the hard way through role playing and chemistry. Sorry guys.


I'm about to go on a very long post about relationships so bear with me here. I am going to provide some background, random information, first impression, and a bunch of thoughts. You can agree or disagree with me about their relationships status/category. So here goes.

 

[Polaris.]

Dante (@GiannaCoco) and Klara:


Okay, lol Cassandra is so cute and Klara loves the fact that she's 4'8 and that she can look down at her, that's her first impression. As time progress, I don't know how Cass likes living with a messy person so their relationship might depend on that. Klara is kind of sarcastic to everyone and has issues apologizing so there would probably be tension both outside and inside the bedroom. That sounded slightly wrong but LOL you get my gist. But really, Klara appreciates the fact that Cassandra does the chores and is the more logical and responsible person around the house. Not going to lie here but she probably had thoughts of waking Cassandra up with the frying pan that she sleeps with by banging it against the wall or something.


So depending on Cass's idea of Klara and how she reacts to the girl's personality, they probably will be in shaky relationships and maybe maybe best mates. I don't see Klara hating Cass to the point of mutual hatred.


 
@Myrrh Scented Since Klara isn't the type to be sympathetic, she probably thinks the band fame and glory has ruined him. She doesn't feel sorry for him and thinks he's old enough to pick himself up or just wallow in drugs and what not. Well not really sure what he would think of her so let me know what you think!


 
@Pine Oh we have a free bedroom so if Dante is doing the dirty and poor Saul needs an escape, he can sleep in the guest bedroom that's usually reserved for Kade.
