OH SHIT guys, I just saw this was still going. I'm sorry, I forgot all about this.
Here's my character:
Jeffery Benton -Aged 23 (The Fucking Mandolin, Back-Up Vocals)
Who plays the Mandolin? I mean, really!
Jeff comes from a long line of Mandolin players, stretching back to his Great-Great-Grandpa Jonathan Benton. The day he turned 13 he was handed his father's Mandolin, and told to treat it with the same reverence he'd treat his own mother.
Jeff, being one who hates "adult" work, only attended community college and has never held a real job. Instead, he has pan-handled on the streets of whatever city it is we are based in from the day he received his Mandolin.
Jeff comes from a community of musical people, and thus is probably the band's connection to the music scene/responsible for getting gigs set up.
