Lyrical Beauty
2013.
Battle of the Bands.
One great Prize.
The Stone of Lyrical Beauty. The only thing on Earth that has the true power to bring the winners of BOB their true hearts desire, even if they don't know it yet.
Alexa sighed. If she wanted that Stone, she'd better find herself a band, and fast. but where can a lonley, family-less, girl with an obsession for music like her turn to, when she needs a band to sing for?

Username: blue_vampire_lulliby13
Name: Kaige Ashburn (Kay or Ash)
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Instrument/s: Drummer/bass
Bio: Ever since he could remember, Kaige loved music. Everything about it, the beat and rythm mostly, and when he was about eight years old he got his first drum set from his father. His father had influenced Kaige, since his father's dream was the same: he also wanted to be in a band but then just a year ago he passed away in a car accident. Ever since then, he promised to follow his dream and his father's dream of becoming a professional drummer. But that didnt stop Kaige from learning just drums but he took up Bass as well. Kaige's mother never really accepted Kaige, and always kept her son distant from her. So basically, Kaige lived a lonely and fatherless year so far, practicing his talent everynight in his old father's shop a few yards outside his house. Soon, when Kaige learned about this BOB competition, he instantly jumped for his opportunity, and now he is in search to finally join a band.
Personality: Kaige is considered a unique and chaotic child. He never let anything pull him down, always seeing the good side in everything. Technically, Kaige really doesnt want to accept his father's death and pretends he still exists in this world. Sometimes he can be caught talking to 'his fathers spirit' (himself) outloud. So Kaige still might be in shock over the tragedy. Kaige never shows any pain if he gets hurt, in his words, "Pain is weakness..." Kaige always says to keep him strong.
Appearance: Kaige Ashburn
Other: He carries his drum sticks around in his pocket everyday, always practicing his beats at school and whenever he has time. Kaige's bass is a dark blue color.

Age: 17
Sex: Male
Instrument/s: Piano, and song violin
Bio: A smart, rich kid who goes to a private school, Theron lives with his mother, a highly sucessful dimond seller. Theron spends most of his time in his room, reading, writing stories and musical peices, and playing his violin. He only emerges from his room/en suite to eat, and to play the piano, in the recording room outside. He is an otaku, and his favourite animes are Ouran High School Host Club, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Black Cat, Zombie Loan, and, quite oddly, Chobits.
Personality: Calm, graceful, and very courtious, he can sometimes be considered a Ladies Man, earning himself the title of King Tamaki the Second. However, he rather considers himself more like Kyoya Ootori.
Appearance:Theron
Other: his violin is black, with a red velvet lined case. it is his most prized posession.
Username: Chaotic Ghost
Name: Jake Highwall
Age: 19
Sex: male
Instrument/s: Rhythm Guitar and singer
Bio: His mother died when he was only two. His father, grieved by the loss, resorted to binge drinking. And that isn't a good thing to do around a two year old. Torn from his family for child abuse, Jake was sent to an orphanage to live the rest of his childhood. Rejected and hated by others around him, Jake found his only comfort in playing the guitar. Practicing like a maniac, his adolecent years saw fame and fortune come his way as a soloist. With plenty of emotion backing his tear-shedding songs of hatred and sadness, Jake became widely known. He had already released two solo albums, "Storm of Sadness" and, "Ocean of Blood." Eventually, he joined a band called, "7th Sign," For the first time, Jake had family. However, while traveling to a concert, a horrible car crash occured, and the car exploded into flames. Jake was the only survivor. Alone again, Jake once again had a career as a soloist. Althought he rejects being in a band on the outside, deep inside, he wants to be a memebr of a band so badly... When he heard about a BOB competition, maybe this could be the chance to finally find a family again.
Personality: Withdrawn, not liking to be a part of huge crowds. But when he's on stage, he acts like a different person entirely. He knows how to work a crowd.
Appearance: Jake Highwall
Other: This is his guitar: Jake's guitar

Alexa sighed. this BOB thing sounded fun, but she didn't have a band. "This sucks..." she muttered, her guitar slipping over her shoulder again. pushing it back absently, she shook her hair out of her eyes, glancing around. the street was fairly quiet, and she stopped at her old rented garage, key in hand. pulling the door open, she stepped in, and unzipped her guitar, smoothing her hand along its glossy blue curves. she began to play a quiet riff of her own invention, singing the words she came up with.

(Yay! So glad!)
Strolling along, Theron paused. He smiled, an gently rapped on the garage door. "Hello in there!" he called, placing his violin down next to his feet. The music he had heard stopped abruptly. He chuckled. "Shame, I was enjoying that. you're very good you know."

Cautiously, Alexa opened the garage door, and peered out at the guy teasing her. "And you are...?" she asked frostily. she HATED it when people heard her playing her own things, she always felt really embarassed.

The crowd was crazy. Their screams could be heard all throughout the town. But the true dominance of the field is the guitar solo. The furious tempo, notes, and rhythms were driving the crowd wild.
That was Jake Highwall's specialty. No one could work a crowd better than he could. His great career as a musicain was shining with pure radiance.
Jake screamed into the mic. The crows joining with him as he finished the last parts of the solo.
"Thank you, everyone!" he shouted, "You've been a great audiance!"
Unhooking his guitar, Jake made his way offstage. It wasn't long before the crowd scattered, the event done, and Jake was walking along the streets alone, like he always does after a concert.

A few yards away from a quiet home, one could hear the rythm of a solo beat come from a large shop. Kaige Ashburn, was enravled in his world of drums and music in his old father's shop, where he would find his peace away from all the troubles at home.
The beat was loud but held a rather intense rythm that only Kaige could accomplish alone, as he pushed on the pedal. Soon enough, he ended with a loud bash and everything fell silent.
"Phew, what a workout, huh dad?" Kaige wiped the sweat from his brow, smiling as he put the drumstix back into his back pocket and stood from his seat. No one else was there, but him and his instruments the drums, and bass guitar. "Did I do better?" He asked himself, staring at nothing in particular in his silent shop, and then almost as if something had answered him, Kaige smiled and nodded.
"Thanks, I know Ill make you proud of me." Kaige told himself, stretching and then packing up his bass guitar, blue and slick, in its case, for Kaige couldnt do the same to his drums. But no matter, he needed practice for both instruments and felt the need to get out in the world from time to time, feeling the music of his bass.
As he lifted his bass case and headed out the door, he wondered about the BOB competition, and hopefully this time, would be the day.
"Well Im off. Ill be back before dinner, k?"
Kaige asked, stepping out into the bright sunlight and heading off to the city where he can undoubetedly earn money as well as perform in front of people, for whom he loved to do. His red hair shone like fire in the sunlight, as he strode willingly and almost happily toward the seperating crowd of people.

Alexa glared at the guy who inturupted her practice, and, locking her garage with her guitar sowed away safely, turned and walked off without a backwards glance.
As she walked down the street, she began to daydream. what was her hearts desire? It couldn't be material things... she has always wanted to be loved.... foster parents? a flatmate? or even, someone to really love her. An other half. she sighed. "Yeah right," she muttered, "And pigs might fly on gold sparkly wings..." continuing down the street, she didn't notice the red haired guy until it was too late. bumping into him, she fell over, landing on her bottom. "ouch!" she looked up. "Oh god, I am so sorry!! this is all my fault!" she leapt up, brushed herself off, and began to babble "I am so so so sorry! I wasn't looking, it's all my fault!! Are you ok? oh god, you're not hurt are you????" she continued along this vein for a good few minutes.

Kaige laughed and looked down at the girl whom had mistakenly bumped into him. He tilted his head and raised his hand.
"Its okay I didnt notice you either...Im sorry." Kaige assured her with a big grin on his face, as he tried to keep his laughter to a minimum over her babbling. It was funny and Kaige couldnt help it.
"Its alright...Um..My name is Kaige." He rubbed his head, and without even waiting for an answer from her, began to walk toward his destination but suddenly stopped. Where was he to go anyways? He looked back.
"Um, may I ask, do you know anything about the BOB competition?" He wondered, hoping this girl can redirect him in a more suitable place to find what he was looking for. He needed a band, but how was he going to find one in time?

Not good...
Faliure...
Not good enough!!!
FALIURE!!!!!
Those thoughts were searing through Jake's head as he sat under a tree, shredding on his guitar like never before. That one mistake at the concert. It blew the whole damn performance!!!
Jake had never been this angry before. He couldn't believe it! It was perfect JUST BEFORE!!! Right before the concert, he had played it perfectly! But his finger stopped moving on it's own accord! He was so pissed! How in the world was he supposed to win the BOB competition if he messed up like that!
Unforgivable!
Jake started playing like never before.

"You're going for it too!" She clasped her hands. "Do you need a singer, or guitarist in you band!! I don't have one..." she looked down. "I can audition! My name is Alexa." she offered her hand, eyes shining.

Kaige's eyes widened as Alexa whom had introduced herself babbled again and Kaige couldnt help but smile at her. Maybe his luck would change after all.
"Yea, I dunno..." He rubbed his head. "all I know is I need to find a band. I can play drums and bass." He explained to her, taking her hand in his and shaking.
"Yea, I guess I need one of the two." He smiled at her, finally finding someone who was willing to help out.
Dad, today's the day, Ill make you proud.

"REALLY!?" she exclaimed, exitement overwhelming her. "That's fantastic!!!!" Alexa, giggled, already daydreaming of what her hearts desire would be, then remembered he was stil there. "oh, um, you wanna go to my garage? we can see how we play together." she motioned back down the street.

Kaige smiled and nodded to her excitement. "Yea really!" He said to her, padding his bass case and then slowly throwing it over his shoulder. "That sounds great! I mean, do you have a drum set too? I play more than one instrument..." He trailed off rubbing his head slightly. How was this going to work out? Well its a start, right?
Kaige began to follow suit after Alexa.
