well, the accordian that my dad got was a rather old one and i don't think that it had that kind of stuff so that's why i didn't really know if there were accordians that had that kind of stuff.

Quick description of my char per request

Name: (DJ) Abysmal (real: Tony)
Instrument: Bass and Laptop
Genre: Alternative Rock, Classic Music, and a bit of Techno
Appearance: Albino, light blue eyes, mostly black clothing.
Group: 'The Experience' (with JADguy)

And Stuper, It's understandible, I'm not sure when amplifying accordions caught on...but still, you could probably go as far as to say you own one of the really nice electric ones that have all the functions of a nice keyboard, not to mention the ability to adjust the tone in any way you see fit. (they cost about $10,000 and up ...so if your guy's got the $$$, you could go there) so you could pull off that 'techno overdrive polka' reeeeaaalllyy easy

(if you go with a standard accordion, just don't leave it in the sun...accordion reeds are held together with wax)

At the risk of sounding too indecisive, I am briefly pondering the idea of playing a drummer. After all, nobody seems to have one...

Title: Johnny Katsumoto (AKA GDK - Great Drummer Katsumoto)

Age: 25

Eyes: Blue, but wears a pair of Ray-Bans.

Hairstyle: Short blonde hair, wears a wide-brimmed black leather hat.

Skin: Somewhat tanned.

Outfit: Wears a big black hat with a skull and crossbones pin on the band. Dresses in a pair of black leather pants with an oversized belt, as well as a long black trenchcoat. Has a pair of fingerless gloves on his hands. For a
better idea, see the attachment.

Instrument: His staff, which breaks apart into multiple drumsticks for all occasions. His drums and instruments are stored in his SUV for rapid transport.

Genre: Katsumoto-style percussion arts, focusing on drum kits, but he can play bells and chimes as well as the flute. He sings too, but he prefers grooving to the righteous beats.
Bling bling: Not much. Has a gold ring on his little finger with "Shara" carved onto it. His staff can do many things, such as serve as a torchlight, flute, etc.

BTM:Johnny Katsumoto is the last of his tribe. After his family was wiped out by the Oboe (Oh-bo-Ay) ninja clan, his uncle Mifune took him away to the Blessed Isle, where he learned the ancient arts of the Katsumoto family. Johnny was a fast learner and rapidly mastered the skills of his family. Mifune died from aheart attack when Johnny was 15, and as a result he set out to wander the world, living out of his SUV as a freelance performer. He fell in with some pirates, but quickly rose to leadership thanks to his incredible percussion techniques. Hearing of the Battle of the Bands in Tsitra, Johnny decided to enter the competition. However, due to a drunken brawl in a port of call, the crew members he intended to bring along were locked up, and it's not likely that they'll be released anytime soon. Thus, Johnny's going to Tsitra alone, hoping to meet up with a group that requires a drummer.

Scandals: Enjoys playing stuff by Linkin Park ( the drum work is a pretty good warm-up). Would like a chance to work closely with bassists and turntablists, but he's not choosy about who he'll hang with.

(It's really up to Ecurt which of the three he wants. I don't particularly care either way...)

Tor · 02-25-2004, 11:42 AM

Hey Dante since you're character wants a bass player I'll join up with him kay?

Dante · 02-25-2004, 11:51 AM

Which one? Johnny? Is cool.

Only thing is, I may not be using him. The two main guys for consideration are SSS and GDK... MMM doesn't seem good enough. I'll let Ecurt make his judgement call, though I'm leaning more towards Johnny myself.

stuper of thought · 02-25-2004, 01:31 PM

t0aster, i think i'll just go the standerd accordian for the time being but if the oppurutnity arises in the rp, i'll have him steal an amplified accordian.

02-25-2004, 01:33 PM

Well Dante, I based my guy off a drummer, but I mostly use the cymbal type thingy, your guy seems to use actual drums...hmm, we could do a combo attack "RimShot"...or not...

CheshireThief · 02-25-2004, 03:16 PM

What about my guy? He beatboxes.... couldn't he take the part of the real drummer?

02-25-2004, 03:23 PM

Well Dante looks to be the 'real' drummer...so, who wants to take the task of making a list of everyone who joined?
