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

Eirian Juniper

Chaotic, audacious, fearless, defiant, persuasive, unfiltered, adventurous, street-smart, mischievous, spontaneous, rulebreaker, climbs everything, magnetic, unhinged, feral, charismatic, restless, shameless, delinquent, emotionally avoidant. Chaotic & Unpredictable= Always doing the unexpected, usually at high speed. Reckless Daredevil= Will try anything once, especially if it’s dangerous. Impulsive Instigator= Acts first, thinks later, and probably started the problem. Fearless to a Fault= Has no concept of danger or self-preservation. Gremlin Energy= Climbs everything, perches on furniture, thrives in chaos. Defiant & Stubborn= Hates being told what to do, will do the opposite out of spite. Magnetic & Charismatic= Gets away with way more than he should. Unhinged Mischief-Maker= If it can be messed with, he’s already messing with it. Persuasive Bullshitter= Could talk his way out of a felony mid-crime. Lovably Infuriating= A menace, but impossible to stay mad at. Delinquent Past= Smokes like a chimney, always supplies the weed, has the best drug hookups, fights like a feral cat. Emotionally Avoidant= Handles feelings like they’re a live grenade. Pastry & Smut Enthusiast= Reads trashy romance, inhales fruity desserts like they are his oxygen. “He looks like an expensive porcelain doll but acts like a cracked-out alley cat. I once found him sitting on top of the fucking fridge. No reason, no explanation. Just perched like a goddamn menace.” –Lys Eirian Juniper was born small, fragile, and immediately underestimated. His mother died when he was six, and his father—cold, distant, and disgusted by his weakness—barely acknowledged him. Determined to prove he wasn’t pathetic, he threw himself into delinquency, chain-smoking young, fighting often, and climbing anything climbable. Music saved him. He picked up a guitar as a teen and never put it down, developing a reckless, high-energy style that made him the perfect lead guitarist for Bury the Tide. Now, he’s the band’s chaotic heart—fast, unpredictable, and an absolute show-off. Offstage, he’s a chain-smoking, lilac-scented menace who hoards smut novels, perches on furniture, and inhales pastries like a starving Victorian child. He also has an undying devotion to Steve, Lysander’s raccoon, and will fight anyone who questions Steve’s right to exist. Romance? He’ll take a fistfight over feelings any day. If someone tried to flirt with him, he’d probably just ask if they wanna commit arson. “You’d think being that small would make him fragile. Nope. It just makes him harder to catch.” –Dante “I caught him singing a love song once. He saw me and immediately set something on fire to compensate.” –Taz
