SLICK N' SLEEZE

Slick N' Sleeze is a hard rock band that was formed in Seattle, Washington. The band was founded by vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter, William Cooper, professionally known to the world as Jett Blakk, in 1984, during the major hard rock explosion overtaking the United States and taking the world by storm. The band is consisted of four members total; Jett Blakk, Marc Velour, Dani Silvers, and Moxxie Moon.Their music has that typical heavy metal and hard rock edge listeners look for, pushing the buttons of conservatives and Christians alike with lyrics and subject matters so controversial.While becoming famous in any caliber was something they hadn't particularly accounted for, they won't shy away from ensuring their audiences have a good time.Sex, drugs, parties, and rock n' roll are the name of the game, and they play it well, er... almost too well.Is their bad boy image all just a ploy to garner attention? Or is it just their way of life? There's just no telling with this band of misfits...

BACKSTORY

Party, Party, Party.
Drink, Drink, Drink.
Girls, Girls, Girls.Such are the vices of life for the rowdy musician, William Lee Cooper, or professionally known as Jett Blakk. A child who originally came from the slums of Seattle, having an unstable life at home with only his alcoholic mother around to raise him, he was taken in by his grandparents to live a better life.The man, despite the many bad cards he had been dealt his entire life, isn’t bitter or jaded about how the world works. If his home life before moving in with his grandparents taught him any one thing, and one thing only; it’s that it's a dog eat dog world out there, and he can either keep quiet and let the world dictate who he wants to be, or he can stand his ground and carve a new path for himself.Music was the gateway to this path, and one of the few things in his life that brings him genuine joy. It was always something that kept the young man going, and it encouraged him to make people around him have a good time and forget about their troubles. He would take inspiration from many various bands and artists he had grown so fond of, forming a band of his own known as Slick N’ Sleeze, whom he is the songwriter, vocalist, and lead guitarist of.Jett is a very flirtatious fellow who uses what he claims to be his charming good looks to score any soul he so desires. Though he is not much of a fan of when people ignore his advances, or flat-out tell him they’re not interested, he will typically respect those boundaries or continue to get on their nerves in a joking manner, varying on the person and his familiarity with them. What he brings to the table where he lacks in physical prowess, he makes up for in comedic value and good vibes, joking around whenever he sees fit. He hopes to keep spirits and morale high with good music, and immaculate vibes with anyone who crosses paths with him.

MORE FACTS

>Jett is pansexual, but does not even know being pansexual is a thing. In his own words; "if you're hot, you're hot!">Jett is an alcoholic, and has an addiction to cocaine and heroin, as an avid partygoing rockstar who travels all over the country and the world.>He is an avid weed smoker/typically spends any free time high as a kite.>Whenever he is sober, as rare as that can be, he's a hell of a lot less annoying. Due to the influences of drugs and what he deems as "liquid courage," he acts a lot more confident than he actually is.>His stage persona is simply that; a persona or mask that he uses to entertain people, but he has issues separating the persona from his actual self.>He feels like he needs to constantly be putting on the act due to his inner demons such as his low sense of self and skewed sense of self-worth, feeling like he's not worth a damn thing if he's not being Jett.>Very supportive of LGBTQ+ despite the stigmas against queers at the time. He insists he's the "master of the subtle art of not giving a fuck.">Since he is addicted to his particular vices to the degree of being codependent on them, if he goes for prolonged periods of time without, he'll suffer from withdrawals and be more susceptible to "crash outs.">He is very much so not a fan of authority figures of any kind, especially government officials. He wishes they were held more accountable than they usually do, and will do his best to push their buttons or inconvenience them at any turn.>He has commitment issues, or at least doesn't really want to be committed to one person due to being afraid that they'll get too close to him. Works in tandem with his fear of people not liking him for who he actually is when he's sober and off the clock.

MARC VELOUR

Legal/Full Name: Marcus Andrew JohnsonAliases: Marc velour (stagename), Marc (general nickname), Mar Mar (mother and lovers only)Age: 28 (1986)Gender: MaleHeight: 5'9'' (179.83cm)Ethnicity: American (United States, born in San Diego, California)Likes: Relaxation, personal time/time to himself, Vodka, naps, guitar (bass and electric)Dislikes: His bandmate's shenanigans half the time, obnoxiously loud noises, "idiots" or "ignorant fucks" as he puts themFears: Never finding a true partner (romantic), disappointing his family, losing friends with no hopes of making upPersonality: Marc is typically an aloof individual whose sense of humor can be summed up as dry and sarcastic. Nine times out of ten, he will be skeptical of most people's intentions whenever he's given or offered anything, but if one can get past that barrier, they've got a friend who, while it might not seem like he cares, he's more reliable of a friend than most. He's an honest man to a fault, and is not the type to sugarcoat or people please. He is not around to be a yesman; he's around because he feels like he can jive.

Backstory

Marcus Johnson had simple and humble beginnings back in his home in San Diego, simply working day jobs while constantly having to rejoin band after band after band, yearning for some semblance of permanence in his life. He has experienced some bands try to rise, but time and time again, they'd always fall before they ever actually rose up to any kind of heights.For a long time, Marc had always had an affinity for playing both guitar and bass guitar, this versatility being one of the reasons why bands often would give him a call and hire him.After yet another band he was in had disbanded for good due to a major falling out over creative differences, Marc was once again left to trying to find somebody out there that would help his dilemma of not having any permanence; a band that would actually stick together longer than less than a year. One day, however, he would end up receiving a phone call that would change his life forever...He's been through the same song and dance of a band having interest in what he brought to the table. Though initially hesitant, when he heard this guy on the phone talking, he felt... reassured, in some way. Maybe, just maybe, this would be the band for him; a band that was actually gonna go the distance and reach for new heights.Sure enough, his initial gut instinct was proven wrong, leading up to where Marc is today; providing some nice support for Slick N' Sleeze, on and off the stage.

MORE FACTS

>Marc doesn't quite really know what his sexuality actually is. He's questioning/figuring himself out.>He knows how to play electric guitar and bass guitar.>He's the only member of the band that's uninterested in getting laid by any groupies they get.>He's the only member of the band who's actually completed both high school and college, and it sometimes shows whenever someone speaks to him.>He is the least likely of the group to let his emotions cloud his judgement. He isn't somebody who is completely unfeeling. Far from it, in fact. He's the most mature out of the entire band, physically, mentally, and emotionally, which often leads into him becoming the "therapist.">He's a man who showcases a lot more empathy than he brings on. Even from the inside of the stern and aloof exterior lies a friend who's concerned for those he cares about.

Dani Silvers

Legal/Full Name: Daniel WethersAliases: Dani Silvers (stage name), Danny (parents and bandmates)Age: 22 (1986)Gender: MaleHeight: 5'7'' (170.18cm)Ethnicity: American (United States, born in Malibu, California)Likes: Women, dancing, showboating, doing his own hair, himselfDislikes: Getting his appearance insulted, his ego getting deflated, working under pressure, his father and his expectationsFears: Commitment, being a disappointment, failure, being alone for too long, never truly living up to his parents' monumental expectationsPersonality: Dani is very vain and acts condescending towards people he considers to be below him. He does this as a defense mechanism and prevent people from getting too personally attached (romantically).He can and will act selfish on a whim, only really being concerned about himself in the heat of the moment. It's something he's been confronted about that he has been trying to work on.He is even bigger of a flirt than jett is, which says a lot about him. He sees a girl he finds attractive, he will make it his mission to try and seduce her in a similar manner to Jett; looks and charm.

Backstory

It's a tale as old as time with Daniel Wethers; a young man who comes from money that was spoiled by some of his family. He lived a very cushy lifestyle up until he had been cut off from the family's money.Initially a conceited and, quite frankly, vain individual, Daniel had to learn how things really were in the real world. As a means to attempt to humble him, his father sent him on his way to life on his own with just the clothes on his back and his wits, all to ensure he doesn't end up being such an insufferable person to be around.He's a playboy extraordinaire, a womanizer; a "hit it and quit it" type of man that's mostly in the band for his personal gain and possible "sexcapades" as he puts it.Feeling like he had no real choice than to stick around with Jett and Marcus, and hopefully garner some actual success. Maybe then, Daniel will finally not seem like such an utter disappointment to his family...

MORE FACTS

>Dani claims to be 100% straight, but in all actuality, he's bisexual but with a stronger preference for women.>Dani's "assholiness" is really just a front he puts on so people don't end up becoming too close, for he has deeply rooted self-doubt. He fakes it until he makes it.>He spends hours just making sure he looks good enough before performances. He takes immense pride in his appearance.>His ego is fragile as glass, it doesn't take much to make him feel insecure about himself.>Dani is likely to never change unless somebody ends up shattering his entire worldview and makes him realize there's more to his existence than just being the "pretty boy" in a band and getting laid.>He's jealous of Jett's spotlight overall, mostly due to the two of them having to essentially share the spotlight. Slick N' Sleeze has two different vocalists with two different styles of singing. Dani can sing in much higher vocal registries than Jett, making Dani the idea candidate for singing the higher notes and belting required for some songs.>Dani is the secondary voice of the band usually unless he's exclusively set to sing. It all varies on Jett's mood or the writing of the song they perform or make.>Dani is very capable of various types of dance moves. His dances drive the groupies crazy.

Moxxie Moon

Name: Nathan SchmidtAliases: Moxxie Moon (stage name), Moxx (bandmates), Nate (parents)Age: 24 (1986)Gender: MaleHeight: 6'2'' (187.96cm)Ethnicity: American (born in Sacramento, California, German descent on father's side)Likes: Women, coming up with sick drum fills, twirling his drumsticks in his fingers, chewing gum, pulling pranks, partyingDislikes: Being put on the spot, working under pressure, Dani's attitude sometimes, listening to depressing musicFears: Being replaced, failure, claustrophobia (tight enclosed spaces), loss of agency/control over his lifePersonality: Moxxie is a laid-back individual who loves to joke around and poke fun at the others. His jokes are his way of showing his affection as a friend or even a lover. He loves to pull pranks on people and trying to get them to laugh or smile. To him, there's no point in being so serious all the time. He's lackadaisy in most things he does except when he's drumming for the band. While not the sharpest tool in the shed, he's a very solid drummer.He is also not entirely the best with understanding social cues.

Backstory

Nathan Schmidt was born on December 13th, 1962 in Sacramento, California. Growing up, Nathan was a troublemaker of a boy, getting into things he wasn't supposed to and wreaking havoc at home. He'd pull small pranks on his parents and siblings, being the middle child of the bunch. It was his way of trying to demand for attention. As he got older, Nathan would mellow out a little and lay off on pranking and joking around with his family, but his friends would be shown no mercy.In middle school, his parents suggested he try some extracurriculars to get him out of the house for a while, which resulted in him giving music a shot; something his parents didn't expect him to want to pick up considering music was something that required focus.Nathan always loved playing around with drums, making his own beats and such. It wouldn't be until after taking some lessons did he properly learn how to play on just the snare alone. He wouldn't be able to get behind a drum kit until high school, where he took paid lessons in learning how to develop a good sense of the concept of rhythm.His drumming skills were what drew Jett into hiring him in the first place, seeing just how crazy his fills were while also keeping the original composition's time.

He's good at recognizing patterns and enjoys working around them.>Moxxie and Dani met a couple of different times at Redondo Beach, the former having seen the latter riding the waves.>He doodles with pencil and paper sometimes out of boredom and if there's really nothing that needs to be done. He finds drawing to be kind of fun, his favorite things to doodle are cool or badass things like dragons and tigers.
