Naturally if you've just started watching someone and liked a few of their pictures, you may not know the backstory about the subject matter.


So, here is a little introduction for you.

'Musicpsycho' is a fantasy metal rock group that created by  MarijkeRose (Blade) and  Valdin (Valdin).

The characters are of mixed genres/species, which include, but is not limited to: Anthros/furries (including mammals, reptiles, amphibions, fish, mythological creatures... whatever..), pokémorphs, DBZ (saiyajins, namekseijins, etc..), transmorphs and humans (with feral versions of pokémon and animals included in the universe). The musical group are the star players in a larger plot (that is rather fantasy/sci-fi/drama/romance) which is being written in various forms - the whole project is called 'Roses and Razorblades'.



The stars are, of course, the musical group:


Tsuki Taiyo
- The lead singer, a mewtwo/saiyajin hybrid and morph called Taiyo (he also plays backup guitar). He is a single father. He has strong morals, tries to adhere to them, and is the tallest and likely strongest/buffest/most powerful. He is bisex, without a gender-preference, who is looking for his Love. He would probably even have casual sex, but might still fall in love regardless. Above all else, though, his son is his top priority and he tries his best to be a "modern, but wholesome dad". He is usually cheerful, and is definitely an early riser. He is also a *great* cook and something of a health nut.

Dominic "Blade" Lorenz
- The lead guitarist, an umbreonmorph named Blade (he does backup vocals as well). He's also the promiscuous, confrontational and fowl-mouthed one of the group. He has many tallents (is an ace in many things), but many scars and mental issues. An ex rebel soldier. He is Taiyo's best friend. He is hetero and puts on a stereotypical 'playboy' front. He sells himself short, and is perfectly content to do so. Obviously, from his name, he is obsessed with sharp things of all types (and very good with them). He is quite tall, and well-muscled, but is a "hard-gainer" so, even if he works as hard as Taiyo, he never quite gets Taiyo's weight. His style is goth and he would even call himself such. Secretly, he is a person of deep thought who could have been much more than he believes he is and cares deeply for 'his family'... more than he'd like to admit. He is somewhat effeminant... and loves european things. His style is, as said, goth.. and he has piercings (he would have tattoos, but finds them redundant considering his fur colour, patterns, and scars). He is my diamond in the rough and takes up most of Marijke-Rose's gallery.

Alexander "Axel" Lorenz
- The lead keyboardist, an espeonmorph named Axel. He's completely flipped out... totally insane. He's been, essentially, a laboratory test subject; been put through experiments and what have you. Playing piano is about the only thing he's capable of - and, at that, he is extremely good. However, he is so screwed up that he has no idea who he is - nor does he remember Blade - Blade is something of his caretaker. Axel is addicted to painkillers (though Blade sneakily switched him to sugarpills), always thinks he's in pain; is paranoid, hears voices in his head, etc.. He will also drink himself to unconciousness. He is very aggressive, due to his paranoia and mental issues. He's the oldest member of the group by a few minutes, born just before his fraternal twin brother, Blade.

Rowena "Rowen" Moore
- The drummer and electrician, a raichumorph named Rowen. She is the shortest and youngest, but is very much a tough-girl. Has a very short and easily-set off temper. She works out and is especially into boxing and wrestling. She is almost as promiscuous as Blade. She lives in a studio flat and has a grungy style. She was attracted to Blade because he was a sexy, older and 'dark' type of guy. She hit on him when she and her boyfriend broke up and they started off as just lovers. They somehow kinda stayed together and were eventually concidered steady boyfriend/girlfriend, though their relationship was anything but steady. Their differing personalities and needs lead to clashes, and they had an on-again-off-again relationship. Usually, she 'dumped' him and then they made up again. Eventually, he finally called it quits and dumped her for the last time. And she found freedom in the breakup and eventually let him go - was glad to tell him "Good riddance". She didn't have to worry about him suddenly showing up at her door, or being moody, or nagging her about whatever. She could just do her thing as she pleased.

Svetlana "Katya" Ramazanova
- The bass guitarist, a russian wolfess called Katya (pronounced "Caught-cha"). She is the tallest female in the group. She has no special powers, yet is very intelligent, witty and outgoing. She is also the most business oriented and responsible member of the group. She is an ex model-in-training who gave up that hobby in favour of playing the bass guitar. She also does her best to get along with each member, but has a special fondness and exceptional patience for Axel and is very good with him (and almost everyone else).

Valdin Mordecai
- The main bodygaurd - an old friend and collegue of Blade's - called Valdin. A transmorphic eagle, who also, occasionally, plays the keyboard when Axel can't (Axel has episodes, sometimes, where he renders himself totally incapable - may be in the hospital... or just too flipped out to actually get his ass out on stage). Valdin was, as a young human, another young-run-away (fled from his home), then was taken and made into something of a science project himself which lead to him being a transmorph. Valdin has few memories of his life before. Valdin tries to be a very fun-loving and alouf figure, but is very depressed inside; carries much guilt as well. He was young when he was changed and is trying to get to know himself and come to grips with it all. Also very complex, like Blade. Blade was, back in the rebel-soldier days, Valdin's best friend. He was rather surprised by what a total jackass and cheapskate Blade had become, and kinda withdrew from the best-friendship they'd shared... but with much regret.

Marijke Rose Bangemann
- The lead violinist, dance choreographer, pyrotechnician and lead female vocalist is a leukistic white-cheetress called Marijke. Her ancestry is from Namibia and her name is Dutch, though she was born in America. She is also able to manipulate fire - not as an inborn power, but as a telekinetic strength borne out of desperation. Abused as a child, with burns/fire as the standard household "punishment", she found she could 'command' fire not to hurt her, and it would listen. With some secret self-practice, she found she could make it do as she says. She cannot create fire, though (well, she COULD, if she believed enough and put the effort into it). She ran away from home during early-to-mid teens, has a litter-twin-brother who is a king cheetah (in markings), that she never felt she fit in with. After she ran away, she learned to dance and took on various short-term jobs in bars as an exotic dancer or strip-teaser. Her wanderings lead her out of America and to europe and, eventually, Germany, where she sorta settled down. She met Musicpsycho during one of their international tours, and met Taiyo on happenstance. He liked her. First, they were friends/kept in contact after he returned home. Then they started dating and it got serious enough that she moved back to America. He convinced her to audition to be a member of the band (because of her dancing and that he thought they needed a better choreographer and, of course, a female lead for duets), and she made it. Taiyo and she did not completely see eye-to-eye - he wanted to go faster than she - and both were.... kinda interested in someone else. They broke up and she ended up with Blade. Her style is a bit eccentric, usually dark-violet and black, plus a Top Hat... and tattoos and piercings.


For other characters:

- Taiyo's son, Tsuki Ryu. A mewtwomorph/demi-saiyajin with who never knew his mother. He was, in his opinion, overly sheltered from the media by his father (the band keeps their professional and private lives quite seperate - it was publicly known that Taiyo was a single dad, but nothing, not even the gender of his child, was publicly known). He is a very smart kid, full of thoughts and opinions, but would rather just spend his days playing video games, computer, eating junk food, and skateboarding rather than doing homework. He openly looks up to Blade as an idol or mentor - and Blade has, to his displeasure, been Ryu's babysitter right from the start. Ryu is stubborn and has a mischevious streak. In his younger years, Ryu really did NOT get that it was *bad* to invade or control other's minds (like his babysitter's!), and had to be taught that. This is one reason that Blade, as a dark-type who is immune to psychic-types, became his primary babysitter.

- Ryu's mother, a mewtwomorph named Kurisutaru (or Kurisu or Kuri). She and Taiyo were captured by a powerful organisation (in charge of the whole "pokemorph project") and, essentially, forced to breed due to their impressive strength. That is where Ryu came from. They escaped, but the attempt had been successful and Kurisu was good enough to inform Taiyo about it. She did not want to have a kitten, but Taiyo didn't want the baby aborted and plead with her to keep it, telling her that he would take full responsibility and raise it on his own when it was born. She agreed, with the stipulation that he could not ask *anything* from her in that regard... she would not pay for the kid or have anything to do with it - would just be glad to be rid of it. Because Kurisu was, first off, not a child-friendly person, and second because she wanted to continue her assassin/mercenary lifestyle... though with a new light - setting herself to a specific side instead of just that of who paid the most for her services, after what she'd experienced through the conception of her child. Taiyo did, in fact, hold to their agreement. As a result, Ryu is not close to his mother. And, secretly, Ryu figured out who his mother was (and this would be confessed to him).


And for future characters:

- Elaina, Kirashi, Damon, and ??? - Children/descendants of the various band members. I won't go into them, because that would just be spoilers!


Those are the basic characters. The plot has an important key character, but you'll have to read the books when they're released to find that out.
