-The Band Members-

Josh Meyer

-Full Name: Joshua Alexander Meyer

-Birthday/Age: February 3rd, 1994. Age is 25 at the start of this story.

-Hometown: Born and raised in Los Angeles, California.

-Race & Family Heritage: White. Mix of Scandinavian, mostly Danish, on his mother’s side. Mix of Western European, mostly Dutch, on his father’s side.

-Parents: Kirsten Meyer - Mother; Isaac Meyer - Father

-Siblings: Elise Meyer - Younger Sister by 5 years; Levi Meyer - Younger Brother by 8 years

-Pets: A female 7-month-old blue merle Australian shepherd dog named Pepper. His family had multiple dogs as he grew up, currently owning a male 7-year-old boxer named Max and a female 3-year-old dachshund named Roxy, so he knew he wanted a dog when he got his own place. He got her from his parents’ neighbors’ dog’s litter of puppies, and since they’re an active breed that loves exercising, he likes to take her on runs around his neighborhood.

-Physical Description:

Hair: Medium-short, about mid-ear in length, semi-wavy, dirty blond. Tends to slightly hang in eyes.

Eyes: Deep Blue

Skin tone: Neutral, fair

Build: Athletic

Height: 6 feet, 1 inch

Style: Prefers bright colors; simple and looser, casual clothes

Piercings: None

Tattoos: A small Enso, an imperfect circle, on his inner right forearm closer to his inner elbow. It symbolizes his desire to remind himself that there is perfection in imperfection, to try to be happy with what is and not constantly try to improve upon what has been.

-Personality: Responsible, caring, friendly, hard-working, perfectionist, mostly extroverted with some introverted tendencies (loves to be around others, but occasionally needs his alone time to “recharge”)

Good Traits/Habits: You can always depend on him to get the job done, and get it done well. He will usually take charge of a situation and make sure everyone involved is being taken care of and has what they need. He is an older brother to two siblings quite a few years younger than him, so always felt responsible for looking out for them and being a good role model for them, and that mindset has followed him in his life. He’s also fun to hang out with too, as he’s quite friendly and charismatic and can keep the conversation going, as well as usually coming up with the best plans when hanging out with friends, making sure everyone’s having a good time.

Bad Traits/Habits: Since he’s a perfectionist, he can often work himself into the ground doing and redoing something until he thinks it’s perfect. When he does this, his band mates and friends often have to step in and remind him that nothing can be perfect, and take him away from what he’s working on to take a break and get his head back on straight. Also, sometimes it can be hard for him to step back, let go of the reins, and let people, especially those he feels responsible for, take control of situations to let them make and learn from their own mistakes. Some people might label him as a control freak or a “mother hen,” but he just feels that if he could help them make better decisions then it’s his responsibility to help them out, even when most people don’t appreciate that much meddling into their personal affairs.

-Role in Band: Leader, Lead Singer, Songwriter

-Additional Instruments He’s Able to Play: Acoustic Guitar

-How He Decided Which to Play: Loved to sing as a child. Wanted to learn how to play the acoustic guitar in middle school, so his parents took him to guitar lessons where he would like to sing as he played. He eventually realized he loved singing more, so now he just uses the acoustic guitar to help him write music for the band.

-Nickname/Joke Name the Group Calls Him: The “older brother” of the group, sometimes jokingly referred to as the “mom” of the group

-What Type of Drunk He Is: He doesn’t like to get too drunk too often, since he likes to keep track of his friends that he came to the bar/club with to make sure they’re okay throughout the night, but when he does get drunk, he turns into a bossy drunk, telling people what to do and getting increasingly upset when they don’t listen.

-Goals/Motivation: Just like the rest of the guys, his more immediate goal is for the band to continue to be successful worldwide. His motivation for that is being able to pour his heart and soul into creating and performing music that the fans love just as much as he does. His more long-term goal is finding a girl to settle down and start a family with someday. His motivation for that is from seeing how happy his parents were growing up; he wants that for himself one day.

-Fears: One time when his siblings were very little (he was 11, his sister was 6, and his brother was 3), he was watching his siblings while they were all playing out in the front yard and got distracted. In the few minutes he wasn’t paying attention to where his brother was, his brother managed to wander out into the street and very nearly got hit by a car. Ever since then, he fears losing control of a situation and something bad happening to someone he cares for or feels responsible for. To try to compensate for this, he always makes sure to plan out activities ahead of time and tries to keep track of everyone during the activity so he can reassure himself that they’re okay.

-Nervous Habit: Whenever he’s nervous or worried, he can’t sit still. He’ll constantly be shaking/bouncing his leg when he’s sitting down, or pacing around when he’s standing.

-Best Friend/Which Member He Turns to When He Needs Someone: Kai Slater. They’ve known each other and been best friends since they were 8 years old, and he knows Kai will always be there to set him back on the right path when he gets too lost in his own head or cheer him up when he needs it.

-Additional Fact: He knows how to surf, and likes to visit the various LA beaches to catch some waves when he has the time. His dad was actually the one to teach him how to surf, always making time to take the family out to the beach when he was growing up.

-Random Trivia:

His favorite color is blue; he also likes orange.

He is right-handed.

He is slightly more of a heavy sleeper than a light sleeper, but is mostly average. Most sounds outside or around the house will usually not wake him up, but louder noises will, especially those inside the bedroom.

His preferred sleeping position is on his side, with the arm he is laying on tucked up underneath the pillow to support his head.

Kai Slater

-Full Name: Kai Hiroki Slater

-Birthday/Age: April 19th, 1994. Age is 25 at the start of this story.

-Hometown: Born in Sacramento, California. Family moved to Los Angeles when he was 3 years old.

-Race & Family Heritage: Half Japanese on his mother’s side, half white on his father’s side. His white ancestry is mostly Western European, with the greatest majority being German.

-Parents: Kimiko Slater - Mother; Henry Slater - Father

-Siblings: Naoki Slater - Older brother by 3 years

-Pets: A male 5-month-old tricolor beagle dog named Cooper. He grew up with dogs and knew he wanted to own one when he got his own place. His parents had a male Shiba Inu named Koji that died when he was in middle school, and they now own a male 5-year-old French bulldog named Kenji.

-Physical Description:

Hair: Medium-short, comes to about the tops of his ears in length, straight, dark brown. Likes to slightly spike it up.

Eyes: Dark Brown

Skin tone: Slightly tan, warm

Build: Lean

Height: 5 feet, 7 inches

Style: Prefers bold colors paired with some black; more complex and stylish clothes

Piercings: 1 lobe piercing in each ear

Tattoos: None

-Personality: Energetic, loud, bold, brazen, always down to party or hang out, very extroverted (loves to be around others, gets his energy from being around other people and would prefer that to being alone)

Good Traits/Habits: He always has energy and confidence in all the things he does. His energetic personality is often contagious, making those around him have more energy as well, and as a result people often comment how much fun it is to work with or hang out with him. His bold ideas often help push the band in greater directions, where others might have held back out of lack of confidence or fear of failure. Also, he’s incredibly fun to party with. There’s never time for a party to get dull with him around, he’ll hype it up with his boundless energy and fun ideas. He loves meeting new people and making new friends, and they will often find there’s never a lack of things to talk about with him around.

Bad Traits/Habits: Occasionally he can be a little too bold, rubbing people the wrong way. He sometimes doesn’t know when to give up or let things go, thinking that if he just keeps pushing people, he can get what he wants. He is also often too loud, sometimes at inappropriate times. When he gets this way, his band mates and his friends often have to tell him to calm down and be quiet. Also, his boundless energy can occasionally be annoying when sometimes all his band mates or friends want to do is chill and relax, but he constantly wants to go out and do something fun. He also parties a little too much sometimes, and often drinks too much at those parties.

-Role in Band: Electric Guitar, Backing Vocals, Songwriter

-Additional Instruments He’s Able to Play: Acoustic Guitar, Bass

-How He Decided Which to Play: Became interested in guitars in middle school, so his parents took him to guitar lessons where he learned how to play the acoustic. As a teen, he started to dabble in learning both bass and electric guitar, until he decided he liked electric guitars more.

-Nickname/Joke Name the Group Calls Him: The “life of the party” of the group, sometimes jokingly referred to as the “party animal”

-What Type of Drunk He Is: He likes to party and go out with friends to bars/clubs a lot and gets drunk at a good deal of them. He turns into an obnoxious and reckless drunk, being very loud and often doing stupid stunts to try to get attention or for the rush.

-Goals/Motivation: Just like the rest of the guys, his more immediate goal is for the band to continue to be successful worldwide. His motivation for that is how incredibly amazing their live performances are in big stadiums around the world. The fans screaming, the lights blaring, and the music blasting make for an exceptionally exhilarating experience. His more long-term goal is to find a girl that can keep up with him and that he can enjoy life with. His motivation for that is seeing how compatible and happy his older brother and his new wife are together; he wants to find someone just as compatible with him so they can live just as happily together.

-Fears: He has a fear of missing out, fearing that if he doesn’t always “go for it” or make himself available, he’ll miss out on something fun or important, making him sometimes jump into things without thinking them through more thoroughly. He also has a big fear of snakes. Once when he was 7, he almost got bit by a rattlesnake while playing in his backyard. Ever since then, he tends to freak out whenever he sees one.

-Nervous Habit: He can get very impatient when nervous or worried, tending to complain a lot to whoever’s with him.

-Best Friend/Which Member He Turns to When He Needs Someone: Josh Meyer. They’ve known each other and been best friends since they were 8 years old, and he knows Josh will always have his back or lend a listening ear when he needs it.

-Additional Fact: He’s really good at cooking, having learned it from his mother who is a chef at a local fine dining restaurant. The boys often make him cook for all of them whenever they have to cook for themselves while on tour.

-Random Trivia:

His favorite color is red; he also likes blue. He prefers the brighter/bolder shades of colors.

He is right-handed.

He is a very heavy sleeper, and will sleep through most sounds, even loud ones. He sometimes even sleeps through his own alarms, making someone have to come physically wake him up when he has somewhere he needs to be. For example, while the guys are on tour, one of them always texts him when they wake up to make sure he's up, and if he doesn't reply, they know that they have to go physically wake him up so that he doesn't make them late.

His preferred sleeping position is on his back in a starfish formation, with his limbs splayed out in various directions.

Roland Beck

-Full Name: Roland Milo Beck

-Birthday/Age: June 24th, 1995. Age is 24 at the start of this story.

-Hometown: Born in Seattle, Washington to a single mother. When he was 8 years old, his mother married his step father and moved to Los Angeles.

-Race & Family Heritage: White. Mix between Western and Eastern European ancestry, mostly split between German, French, Russian, and Polish.

-Parents: Savannah Beck-Richards - Mother; Tim Richards - Step-Father; Biological Father is unknown

-Siblings: Alexis Richards - Younger Half-Sister by 15 years

-Pets: A female 1-year-old blue lynx mitted ragdoll cat named Evie. He had missed having a cat around the house when he moved into his own place, as his family has a female 6-year-old blue lynx mitted ragdoll cat named Lacey that they bought for his little half-sister’s 3rd birthday. So when Lacey had kittens, they gave him one to live with him after he got his own place.

-Physical Description:

Hair: Medium-long, about midway between his ears and chin in length, mostly straight, black. Has it in a side part.

Eyes: Ash Gray

Skin tone: Pale, cool

Build: Lean, slightly toned

Height: 6 feet

Style: Prefers black paired with some darker and muted colors; slightly detailed and more fitted clothes

Piercings: 1 lobe piercing in each ear

Tattoos: An upper quarter sleeve tattoo on his right arm of a dragon ouroboros, symbolizing his desire for self-sufficiency and renewal

-Personality: Stoic, quiet, sensitive, independent, fiercely protective of those he’s close to, tries to put up a strong front publicly but is softer to those who know him, very introverted (likes a lot of alone time; still likes to hang out with friends, he just needs a lot more time alone to “recharge”)

Good Traits/Habits: He cares deeply for those close to him that have made it past the walls he’s put up. His emotions run deep, and he finds himself more easily empathetic to others’ problems. He is a great listener, always willing to lend a sympathetic ear to a friend in need, and will always try to offer whatever advice he can and help them fix the problem if possible. Those in his close-knit friend group know they can always depend on him to be there for them when they need him, and that he will always fiercely defend them if it comes down to it, as he doesn’t want to lose anyone close to him. So while he mostly shows his strong, independent side to the public, those close to him also know of his softer, more sympathetic side, especially those who have seen how protective and sweet he is with his much younger little half-sister.

Bad Traits/Habits: He has a hard time opening up to new people, and so can often seem cold or unapproachable to those who don’t know him. He spent a lot of his time alone as a child, so he had to be pretty self-reliant at an early age, since he was raised by a single mother until he was 8 and he never knew his father. His mom would often have to leave him alone so she could work long hours to be able to support the two of them, so he often didn’t have anyone to talk to or confide in growing up. Due to that, he still has a hard time showing his emotions to those who aren’t close to him, preferring to put up a strong front in public and keep his feelings to himself since he’s not used to sharing things that deep with other people and doesn’t want to appear weak. While more open now then he used to be, his band mates and friends still sometimes have to remind him that he can confide in them if he needs to when they can tell he has a problem that’s weighing him down. Also, as a very introverted person, he tends to not want to hang out and go to events nearly as much as his band mates and other friends do, so they often find themselves having to drag him out of his house to go to more parties and events.

-Role in Band: Synth, Songwriter

-Additional Instruments He’s Able to Play: Classical Piano, Keyboard

-How He Decided Which to Play: His step-father is a classical piano teacher, so he took him to lessons with him as a way to bond when he first married his mother. He realized he liked it and became quite good, until he decided in high school that he wanted to play more modern music instead of classical, so he learned and switched to the keyboard. Then, in his senior year he went to a concert that had a synth player and was fascinated. Since the synth had a keyboard attached, he figured he could use his skills on the keyboard to help him start learning it, where he then realized he loved it.

-Nickname/Joke Name the Group Calls Him: The “quiet one” of the group, sometimes jokingly referred to as an “edgelord”

-What Type of Drunk He Is: He has a pretty high tolerance, but doesn’t like to go out and drink to excess that often. When he does get drunk, he turns into a philosophical drunk, trying to talk about serious and deep issues like the meaning of life and the universe with anyone nearby that he knows.

-Goals/Motivation: Just like the rest of the guys, his more immediate goal is for the band to continue to be successful worldwide. His motivation for that is creating meaningful music that can help his fans get through difficult times. He knows some of his favorite bands helped get him through some dark times growing up, and if he can do that for someone else, he’ll keep doing all he can to be able to continue to perform meaningful music with the band. His more long-term goal is finding a girl that he can trust and form a deep connection with. His motivation for that is from seeing how hard life was on his single mother, and how much happier she was after marrying his step-father. He wants to find someone he can trust so that what happened to his mother during his early childhood doesn’t happen to him, and so that he can be as happy as his mother now is, now that she’s found someone to love and trust.

-Fears: He has a fear of abandonment, fearing those close to him will become tired of him or feel burdened by him and leave him behind. This stemmed from his childhood spent alone watching his single mother work herself to the bone to take care of both of them, making him feel like a burden. When his mother married his step-father, he feared she would forget about him and want to focus on starting her new happy life with her husband, leaving him as part of an unwanted past. After his mother noticed his fears, she tried to reassure him that wasn’t the case and made sure he felt loved, which helped him get over most of his fear, but deep down he still fears that it’ll happen again with someone else he’s close to.

-Nervous Habit: He gets irritable and angry when nervous or worried. He’ll snap at people more, and his replies will get more curt and short. He’ll also run his hands through his hair a lot.

-Best Friend/Which Member He Turns to When He Needs Someone: Oli Jones. He knows Oli will always be ready to listen without judgment or pretense when he needs it, and will always do whatever he can to help.

-Additional Fact: He has a grand piano in his house that he likes to play to relax or when he has down time. He also owns and knows how to ride a motorcycle, and likes to ride around to relax or when he needs to get away to have time alone.

-Random Trivia:

His favorite color is black, but blue is a close second.

He is right-handed.

He is a very light sleeper, and will wake up from most sounds, even the quiet ones. He has suffered from nightmares and insomnia since he was little, and although it's not as bad as it used to be, he still suffers from both occasionally.

His preferred sleeping position is either on his back or his side. He doesn't really prefer one over the other as he usually finds himself tossing and turning between them in his struggle to fall asleep.

Oli Jones

-Full Name: Oliver Gabriel Jones

-Birthday/Age: September 7th, 1995. Age is 23 at the start of this story.

-Hometown: Born in Raleigh, North Carolina. Family moved to Los Angeles when he was 2 years old.

-Race & Family Heritage: White. Mostly a mix of Western European ancestry. The largest majorities are part Italian on his mother’s side, and part English and Welsh on his father’s side.

-Parents: Marisa Jones - Mother; Derek Jones - Father

-Siblings: Rosalie Jones - Older Sister by 4 years; Dylan Jones - Younger Brother by 2 years

-Pets: None currently. When he was 7 years old, his parents had gotten the family a male golden retriever dog named Cookie that died when he was 17 after having lived for 10 years. They couldn’t bring themselves to get another dog after Cookie’s death, and he still has not decided to get another pet after moving into his own place.

-Physical Description:

Hair: Medium-short, just past the tops of his ears in length, wavy, medium-brown. Tends to be a little messy.

Eyes: Forest Green

Skin tone: Tan, olive

Build: Lean

Height: 5 feet, 10 inches

Style: Prefers shades of brown and warmer colors; button-down shirts

Piercings: None

Tattoos: A stylized paw print tattoo of his childhood dog Cookie on his upper left arm close to the shoulder to honor his memory.

-Personality: Kind, loyal, positive, giving, cheerful, slightly introverted (likes to hang out with friends, but also likes his alone time)

Good Traits/Habits: He is one of the nicest people you could meet as well as a great friend, always willing to help out anyone who needs help, and always making sure he’s able to be there for his friends when they need it. He almost always seems to be smiling or happy when working or hanging out, often making others who are around him happier as well. He has a very positive and optimistic outlook, which really helps bring up the morale of the band when things might not seem great, or helps bring up the mood in general when his friends need a boost. He has a really giving heart, always trying to donate what he can and volunteer with various charities to help those that are less fortunate than him, especially now that he has a lot more money due to being part of a famous band. He’s always very involved in the charity functions the record label sets up for the band, and even donates to and volunteers in some other charities outside of what the band does when he has time.

Bad Traits/Habits: He can often give too much of himself away, spreading himself too thin and not taking good enough care of himself, as he gets too caught up in trying to take care of others. When his friends notice he’s doing this, they often have to drag him away from whatever he’s losing himself in and force him to focus on himself or take him out for some fun, just to get him to relax and focus on his own well-being. He also tends to be too soft on people, allowing himself to be a bit of a pushover, finding himself in situations he doesn’t want to be in because he couldn’t say no. He sometimes gets carried away and thinks too emotionally and not rationally enough about certain things, especially about those that pulled on his heartstrings like charities, which makes his band mates and friends have to pull him back and make him reconsider his thoughts and decisions more reasonably to make sure he’s not overbooking himself or falling for a scam.

-Role in Band: Bass, Backing Vocals, Songwriter

-Additional Instruments He’s Able to Play: Acoustic guitar

-How He Decided Which to Play: He started learning how to play the acoustic guitar in middle school when he asked his parents to take him for guitar lessons. In high school, he looked into learning the bass instead and realized he liked it more.

-Nickname/Joke Name the Group Calls Him: The “always optimistic one” of the group, sometimes jokingly referred to as a “bleeding heart”

-What Type of Drunk He Is: He actually doesn’t like to get drunk that often, as he has a low tolerance, and he doesn’t like the feeling of losing control over yourself that happens when you’re drunk. He’s also a little embarrassed of the type of drunk he turns into, which is the emotional drunk. One moment he’ll be telling every friend he sees, “I love you, man!” while smiling with tears in his eyes, and in the next moment he’ll be upset and crying over the simplest things, like one time when he accidentally stepped on a friend’s foot and kept crying and saying, “I’m so sorry I hurt you!” even though his friend tried to assure him he was fine.

-Goals/Motivation: Just like the rest of the guys, his more immediate goal is for the band to continue to be successful worldwide. His motivation for that is the fans, hearing from them how much the band’s songs and lyrics mean to them. He loves knowing that their music connects with and helps people, and loves that he can be a part of something that helps so many people. His more long-term goal is finding a nice girl that shares his cheerful outlook on life. His motivation for that is believing that if he finds someone with a similar outlook on life, they’ll be able to be compatible and happy together for many years to come.

-Fears: He fears that he will be so caught up trying to take care of one thing he cares about that he will forget to take care of other important people or things he cares for, which will make them think that he doesn’t care about them as much or find them worth his time. He often overcompensates by being there for and helping as many people as he has time for. He also feels guilty for suddenly having as much as he does, as far as wealth and fame, and fears people will think he’s ungrateful or doesn’t care about those less fortunate than him, so he tries to make up for it by donating to and volunteering with lots of charities.

-Nervous Habit: He fidgets when he’s nervous or worried, constantly wringing his hands together or fiddling with his clothes or an item in his hands.

-Best Friend/Which Member He Turns to When He Needs Someone: Roland Beck. He knows Roland cares deeply about those close to him, and will always be ready to listen or help out when needed. Roland’s quiet but strong reassurance helps Oli put his head back on straight when he gets too lost in others and starts to lose himself.

-Additional Fact: He is quite good at drawing, and likes to do it in his spare time. He actually designed their first album cover himself.

-Random Trivia:

His favorite color is green; he also likes yellow.

He is right-handed.

He is slightly more of a light sleeper than a heavy sleeper, but is mostly average. He can usually sleep through most quiet sounds, but the louder noises outside and around the house usually wake him up.

His preferred sleeping position is on his stomach, with one arm on top of the pillow up around the back of his head.

Finn O’Donnell

-Full Name: Finn Braiden O'Donnell

-Birthday/Age: December 11th, 1996. Age is 22 at the start of this story.

-Hometown: Born in Boston, Massachusetts. Family moved to Los Angeles when he was 5 years old.

-Race & Family Heritage: White. Mostly Irish ancestry on both sides, with a minority of English, Welsh, and other Western European ancestry.

-Parents: Siobhan O’Donnell - Mother; Devin O’Donnell - Father

-Siblings: Connor O’Donnell - Older Brother by 9 years; Liam O’Donnell - Older Brother by 7 years; Aileen O’Donnell - Older Sister by 5 years

-Pets: None currently. His mother has a pet allergy, so they never could have any dogs or cats. They did keep fish when he was growing up, but he decided not to get any fish or other pets when he moved into his own place.

-Physical Description:

Hair: Short, slightly above his ears in length, semi-curly, redhead. Styles it shorter on the sides, longer on the top.

Eyes: Hazel. Specifically, browner around the pupil and more greenish around the edges.

Skin tone: Very pale, slightly pinkish, light freckles across his nose and cheekbones

Build: Skinny, thin

Height: 5 feet, 5 inches

Style: Prefers shades of blue and cooler colors; graphic tees and hoodies

Piercings: None

Tattoos: None

-Personality: Carefree, fun-loving, competitive, playful, funny, extroverted (likes to be around friends, mostly gets his energy by being around others but doesn’t mind some occasional alone time)

Good Traits/Habits: He is a generally fun person to be around. He is funny, often cracking jokes and making games out of less exciting situations to make them more fun. He is carefree, always up to doing something fun, and doesn’t really care about what others think of him or let it affect him, as he just wants to have a good time in whatever he’s involved in. He can usually get most people to laugh at some point in a conversation with him, and most people enjoy his fun-loving personality. If he sees someone is down, he makes it his mission to get them to laugh, or at least make them feel better. He is always down for a fun competition between his band mates and friends to make things more fun, like “race you back to the bus” or “I bet you my slice of cake that I can sign more merch posters in an hour than you.”

Bad Traits/Habits: He doesn’t seem to take things seriously enough sometimes, especially when it’s a relatively serious topic. He feels uncomfortable in overly serious situations, so he’s always trying to make a joke out of everything. However, not everything can be fun or made into a joke, some things need to be considered seriously and with care. Sometimes people think he doesn’t consider that as often as he should, which irritates some and makes others think he is immature and a little naive. He also can get overly competitive, either in the form of constant small bets or competitions that his band mates and friends start to find excessive and irritating, or in the form of taking some competitions too seriously and becoming too focused on winning, which makes it less fun overall for the others involved.

-Role in Band: Drums, Songwriter

-Additional Instruments He’s Able to Play: Various Percussion Instruments in School Band

-How He Decided Which to Play: Played in his middle and high school’s bands as a percussionist. People would constantly find him drumming on everything all the time, and would joke that he should be a drummer when he grows up. He eventually realized that he actually liked that idea and made it his career.

-Nickname/Joke Name the Group Calls Him: The “little brother” of the group, sometimes jokingly referred to as the “baby” of the group

-What Type of Drunk He Is: He likes to go to parties or the bar/club with his friends semi-frequently and sometimes gets drunk. He turns into a fun drunk and hype man. He’ll be constantly laughing or doing something silly, and can also be found hanging around other drunks who are about to do stupid stunts, like trying to down a full drink in one go, and hyping them up and chanting for them to, “Yeah, do it! Do it!”

-Goals/Motivation: Just like the rest of the guys, his more immediate goal is for the band to continue to be successful worldwide. His motivation for that is how much fun it is to be a part of an international band, being able to have a blast playing music he loves for fans around the world. This is all he’s ever known he wanted to do with his life, and he’s so glad he has the opportunity to do it with some of the best band mates he could have asked for. His more long-term goal is finding a girl that can appreciate his humor but still be able to take him seriously, while also having the personality and attitude to help balance him out. His motivation for this is his parents’ relationship. At first glance they seem like opposites, but despite their differences, they’ve managed to stay happily in love his whole life, and helped to balance each other out with their differing attitudes and outlooks on life.

-Fears: He fears that people can’t take him seriously or think of him as a joke. This stems from multiple things, one being the fact that he’s always been the youngest one, like being quite a few years younger than his siblings, always being the youngest in his friend group due to his birthday being so late in the year, and now being the youngest in the band. Another reason is the fact that he tends to laugh and try to make jokes during serious situations, which he usually does automatically without thinking to help him feel more comfortable in those situations, but then worries it makes people not be able to take him seriously. Another reason is his insecurities over his short height, worrying how it’ll make people perceive him.

-Nervous Habit: He has a nervous laugh that frequently comes out at inappropriate times when he’s nervous or worried. He also gets more jumpy.

-Best Friend/Which Member He Turns to When He Needs Someone: Josh Meyer. He feels like another older brother to Finn, one that will always look out for him and help him whenever needed. He knows he can always depend on Josh to be there for him and help boost his confidence when he gets too insecure about himself or how others perceive him.
