Hello everyone! I was going to make a new introduction post, but I got too caught up with stuff so this'll serve as my first real post.

I've been working on some character concepts of mine for a few months now, and they're just now getting to a point where they're getting finalised. They're not really bandori OCs per se, but they follow the five member dynamic that bandori does. They're meant to be a more casual band, that make songs that they like for fun, and are just seeing where it takes them. They met each other through various means, but the two I'm posting about today are long-time best friends. I'll post two characters here today, and post the other three when I get to some finished concepts. Also because five'd be way too long of a post. Also also, their bios aren't 100% yet, still thinking over likes/dislikes, etc.

(Sorry if markdown makes the pictures too big, I'll resize asap if they are.) **Name: ** 市川千歳 (Chitose Ichikawa)

Age: 17, 3rd year

Birthday: September 30th

Height: 174cm

Role in Band: Guitarist, first one to mention the idea, song writer partly

Likes: Iced Coffee, the beach

Dislikes: Not getting things done

Personality: The member that originally came up with the idea to form a band with the rest. A fun loving and energetic person, who’s really chill and laid-back. Although she comes off as silly and immature, she’s really understanding of others, and her close friends often come to her for comfort and advice. She keeps up this sort of outgoing ‘persona’ to not bring the people around her down, and to make up for the fact she's introverted and awkward at socialising. Sometimes she gets a bit carried away and overworks herself, and may need a reminder that she’s just as human as everyone else. She's been best friends with Eri since she could remember. She plays music as an enjoyable past-time that she's willing to go into professionally if things works out, but she has many backups if not. Name: 宮原愛利 (Eri Miyahara)

Age: 17, 3rd year

Birthday: July 12th

Height: 165cm

Role in Band: Bassist

**Likes: ** Pancakes, video games

Dislikes: Complicated situations

**Personality: **A kind and quirky person. A very genuine person, who isn’t afraid to give the truth to people. No matter what she does, it wouldn’t seem out of character. She's curious about the numerous things that life has in store, but is quite afraid of taking risks. Can sometimes be a little bit inattentive. She grew up kind of spoiled by her parents, so when she faces an obstacle in her life or doesn’t get her way, it can affect her more than others. Although, she's not afraid to show her weak spots or admit defeat when she comes across an obstacle, as she’s not very organised and hasn’t exactly got her life together. Good with conversation and is generally liked by most people, but she's drained easily by it. Been best friends with Chitose for years. Sort of hoping the band thing works out, as she's sort of out of ideas of what else she wants to pursue as a career.

Hopefully that wasn't too long, haha. I'll probably monologue a bit more about the project when I get the other three done, but for now I'll keep it short. I plan to make some for of comic/manga or something, most likely in the form of 1-komas/4-komas. I tried to start an actual full page manga, but it took over an hour to draft a single page, so I don't think my work ethic will allow that to happen. Now I have left over scripts with no purpose...

Also...I have no idea on a name of the band. I don't want it to be too serious-sounding, but I don't want it stupid-sounding. All the characters met under different circumstances, so there's not much that links them together, either symbolically or literally. Maybe I can use that though? The name could be 'unfocused' or something of that nature? Not sure, if anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Anyways, I'm out for now!

Edit: Thank god posts have a show more button now, markdown seems okay.
