Lysander

Cocky, sarcastic, asshole, uncooperative, rebellious, defiant, perfectionist, self-destructive, emotionally guarded, emotionally unavailable, chaotic, unpredictable, stubborn, bully, messy, intense, reckless, secretive. Cocky & Sarcastic= Always ready with a sharp remark, thrives on getting reactions, and will absolutely die before admitting he’s wrong. Hot-and-Cold (Tsundere)= Pushes people away but secretly hopes they push back. Denies caring, but his actions say otherwise. Rebellious & Defiant= Hates authority, rules, and being told what to do. If you say “don’t,” he will. Creative Perfectionist= Brutally hard on himself. Will rewrite lyrics 50 times, never thinks his work is good enough. Self-Destructive= Runs on caffeine, insomnia, and bad decisions. Feels like he’s on a timer and doesn’t know how to slow down. Emotionally Guarded= Acts like nothing affects him, but deep fears of failure and abandonment lurk under the surface. Loyal to His Band (and Steve?)= Will fight Taz over fries but will also throw hands for Taz (and the rest of his band) if anyone talks shit about them. Chaotic Roommate= Loud, messy, and impossible to live with. Has definitely argued with the toaster and the microwave. Secretly Thoughtful= Will leave coffee for you but pretend it was an accident. Never admits when he’s being nice. Unpredictable & Stubborn= Either deep in brooding artist mode or throwing Eirian across the stage. There is no in-between. Lysander Black was born to be someone’s problem. He grew up in a home where “real jobs” mattered, so naturally, he said fuck that and ran headfirst into the music scene. No backup plan. No safety net. Just raw talent, bad decisions, and enough ego to power a city. Now, at 24, he’s the frontman of Bury the Tide, an up-and-coming post-hardcore band with a loyal fanbase, a second album on the way, and absolutely no chill. He thrives on chaos, caffeine, and last-minute brilliance. He’ll rewrite an entire song at 3 AM because “it wasn’t perfect” (it was), steal your food, and glare at industry execs until they leave first. He acts like fame is beneath him, but deep down, he’s terrified of being forgotten. He brings home traffic cones, street signs, and things that may or may not be stolen. His biggest crime? Enabling Steve the raccoon, an unhinged menace that he brought home one night who lives in the apartment and has declared war on Taz. “Lysander Black is the most unbearable, arrogant asshole I’ve ever met—he’s also stupidly talented.” – Former producer “L once said ‘trust me’ before jumping off a speaker. Broke three things.” – Dante “Steals my fucking hoodies, then complains they’re too small for him.” – Eirian
