Vanderbilt
Archetype: Human Rocker
Even though it's rather difficult to find an audience in 2060 that still
likes 20th century Classic Rock, Vanderbilt and his group The Lost Guitars
keep cranking out the Stones, Clapton, Petty, Bowie and other long dead
performers and bands. Vanderbilt and his band use original, classical
instruments and the only synth you'll find in their possession is an old
analog keyboard. They also like to engage in other traditional activities
such as trashing their hotel room, getting run up on coke and crashing in
the middle of a set, driving automobiles into telephone poles while drunk,
and so on. It also happens that Vanderbilt and the rest of the band are
rather racist. They believe that since humans created Classic Rock, only
humans should be allowed to play it. Needless to say, this gets them into
more than a few fights.
Vanderbilt, a skinny neurotic man who turned to cocaine in order to get
himself off of heroin, plays lead guitar and - frighteningly - is the most
responsible member of the band. He keeps a 5 kilometer distance from any
club or bar playing contemporary music and has a tendency to keep playing
solo on his acoustic guitar long after the rest of the band has passed
out. He's always eager to play a gig for an extremely modest price, just
as long as the beer is free and he and his friends have a place to crash
for the night.
Mickey The Kidd
Archetype: Human Rocker
Mickey is a loose cannon on coke, swinging between complacent satisfaction
with his music and violent outrage because the band isn't really going
anywhere. Usually he's able to take out most of this aggression on his
drum set, but he frequently cusses out other racial groups since, in his
view, they're the source of all The Lost Guitars' problems. In addition,
his ugly, inbred appearance limits the number of times he gets laid, which
may also contribute to his edgy personality.
Danielle Tate
Archetype: Human Rocker
Happily oblivious, Danielle only shows aggression when somebody harasses
other members of the band. Then she'll happily try to kick your ass,
usually getting as close as five feet to you before she passes out (she
drinks a fifth of Southern Comfort before every performance). She is also
not afraid to use her bass as a weapon during such a fruitless attack,
swinging it violently thought the air. The only time Danielle sobers up is
when she has to drive the band's van, a beat up unit that can no longer be
identified by model type since it's been wrecked and fixed so many times.
Buddy Redneck
Archetype: Human Rocker
Switching between the keyboardest and second guitar positions, Buddy is so
racist as to make the rest of the group look like angels of equality.
During the height of his drunken rages, he will try to gather together a
band of other racists in the audience (which isn't tought since they're
usually all humans) so they can stagger off and wreak havoc on
unsuspecting metahumans. The results wouldn't be so bad if Buddy wasn't
6'7" and built like a tractor. The rest of the band spends a lot of time
bailing Buddy out of jail.
