𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙.  triggers  include  :  death  /  car  accident  ,  drug  / alcohol  use  ,  divorce  ,  abandonment.

phoenix orion or nix is typically known by just that - nix. doesn’t mind nicknames but usually just goes by nix.

hails from sydney  ,  australia.  born to a small family that didn’t have a lot.  dad worked during the day and mom worked at night so nix never really saw much of either of them until the weekend.  spent most of his time with his older sister. she was 100% his best friend.  was a relatively well behaved child.  got along with most people. didn’t get into too much trouble  ,  though there were a few detentions here and there.

trigger   ///   high school is when things got a little rough for him.  his parents were going through a hard time  &  when he was a freshman  ,  they filed for divorce.  he leaned a lot on his older sister who had just started college.  his family wasn’t exactly the closest knit system  ,  but as he began to go between mom  &  dads house it got a little difficult for him.  

trigger heavy   ///   when he felt like he finally had a good system  ,  he got a phone call one night that his sister had been in a car accident  &  within the next 24 hours she had passed away. sixteen year old nix had his word rocked because his sister was his biggest support system.  he had a super hard time coping. 

within the next two years  ,  he threw himself into music.  had already been utilizing social media to get his name out a little bit but hadn’t put a big focus on it.  his sister had taught him guitar  ,  keyboard  ,  and they would always sing together  &  diving into music made him feel closer to her again.  together  ,  the band decided that they actually wanted to try to do this professionally.  started off making little youtube videos on their own  &  eventually decided that they needed to make a big decision if they were going to get big.

taking a big risk  ,  nix released a single and moved out to la and exploded with fame.  got picked up by a company  &  immediately fell into a certain image. portrayed as very innocent  &  kind since he was 18.  immediately clung to the idea of being clean  & pure.  however as he got older  &  more  &  more famous  ,  temptations became harder to avoid.  so he balanced a party lifestyle privately while upholding his good boy imagine privately.  continued to tell fans he would never touch drugs or alcohol but continued to go out  &  get fucked up  &  avoid the cameras.

management has had to buy off tons of images on his leaving a club or party drunk or high or both. struggles a lot with losing his sister  &  turns to things that he shouldn’t to enjoy himself. however  ,  got caught up in the lie he was telling  &  didn’t have a choice at some point.

fast forward to the exposed and out comes all the pictures he bought off  ,  showing off relationships he shouldn’t have had  ,  &  states of being clearly under the influence.

so he’s current stuck in the place of not knowing what to do to get his fans to forgive him : actually get clean , or start being him.

𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮. triggers include  :  none.

he’s definitely not a bad guy  !  struggles with some things but is generally nice. is portrayed as a super sugary sweet innocent boy and isn’t exactly that  ,  but he’s not rude or mean or anything like that. just definitely not as innocent as the media says he is. 

publicly surrounds himself with people that’ll make his image look good and privately spends time with people who wouldn’t. 

has a pretty decent sense of humor and loves anyone he can laugh with. isn’t exactly the class clown of the group  ,  but will always slip in a little joke here or there if it comes to his head.

a cuddly boy  !  as soon as you call nix your friend  ,  you’ll have this entire 6′4 body sprawled over top of you and he will just sleep there.  loves body contact and feels more comfortable sleeping next to someone than he does alone.

is basically one big paradox.  some people in the industry catch on to the fact that his media portrayal isn’t really him  ,  but he keeps the act going around most people so it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not real. 

definitely sleeps around a bit  ,  but keeps it on the absolute down low.  i’m nearly positive the media thinks he’s still a virgin  (  despite saucy lil songs )  and he just lets them.

loves posting on social media and interacts with his fans a lot.  preaches about what his management thinks that he should  ,  which is what got him into this whole mess to begin with.

‘ ✫*ﾟLEE HOSEOK  ,  CISMALE  ,  HE/HIM  :･ did  you  hear youngjae baek   is  joining  the  cast  of  exposed  after  his father threatened to out him for money  was  revealed  ?  the  twenty six  year  old  actor + model  with2.7m of  followers is  trying  to  clear  their  name  .  they've  become  known  as  the  resident  libertine in  the  mansion  ,  and  it's  clear  that's  spot  on  because  they're  quite -  secretive & -  uncommitted ,  but  also +  visionary &  +  soft-hearted .  you  know  they're  heading  to  the  confession  booth  if  you  hear  blinding lights  by  the weeknd  blasting  ,  most  likely  talking  about  how  they're  more  than unzipping nike windbreakers, sore muscles but aching heart, hidden kisses, staying under the shower in hopes the water washes it all away   .

ok so first things first,,, youngjae was born in south korea to a single mother. at first he knew nothing about his father and his support system was really just his mom, it had been the two of them together since he could remember it. they were super super close and it was no surprise that jae was just the biggest mama’s kid. things weren’t easy, he remembers his mom working a lot and not seeing her much, of learning how to take care of himself in an early age ,, but the concepts of hardship and money (or the lack of it) are quite hard to grasp as a seven year old.

VIOLENCE TW// jae remembers it was around when he was nine or so that he met the man he was supposed to call dad. until then, he had his moments but for the most part, he was a bubbly and out going little kid. things changed then, and he didn’t understand exacty why but his dad would hang around the house, he would be the one getting groceries ,, and it was weird at first, especially because jae never really had the curiosity to learn about his father before, and then it got even weirder because even though he wasn’t v well experienced in the father territory,, he was pretty sure his dad shouldn’t be hitting his mom or yelling at him all the time. was that what dad did?

growing up,, jae realized that his mother ended up taking his father back looking for a financial support. he learned how money was the one thing that opened the door for all of that crap. at age twelve, jae got his first job and there wasn’t one day that would go by without him trying to convince his mother to leave the house with him, he wanted things to be just like it was-- just the two of them. his father didn’t just yell at him anymore. jae couldn’t let him keep hurting his mother. theather was what held him together,,, it was the only thing at school that made him feel something. he liked to pretend to be somebody else,,, with a different life. acting made him forget about the fear that he felt all the time. it was how he dreamed of changing his own life.,,, and he maDE it after graduation, managing an audition to a famous korean company.

first paycheck was when he and his mother moved out,, and hoped to never see that man again. jae is known for being lead actor in famous doramas and back in south korea, he was beginning to be cherished as the nation’s sweetheart. a few years into his career, his father managed to find him again and that was when the threats began. that was when he began giving him money. at first it wasn’t a big amount. all jae wanted was for him to leave again and never show up. but he kept on coming back and that was when he decided to move to the us, with the reason of focusing on his international career. his company stil had no interest in letting the public know his sexuality, since his public was made largely of females, but he was glad that his mother at least was far away from that monster.

i dont have much for her so pls bare w me ok.

˙✫*ﾟMINA MYOUI  ,  CIS FEMALE  ,  SHE/HER  :･ did  you  hear  sasaki  kumiko  /  mimi  is  joining  the  cast  of  exposed  after  her  mom  in  japan  was  found  paying  off  album  sales  was  revealed  ?  the  twenty  two  year  old  singer  with  1.3m  followers  is  trying  to  clear  their  name  .  they've  become  known  as  the  resident  grifter  here  in  the  mansion  ,  and  it's  clear  that's  spot  on  because  they're  quite  -  guarded  &  -  deceitful  ,  but  also  +  sweet spoken  &  +  warm hearted  .  you  know  they're  heading  to  the  confession  booth  if  you  hear  dancer  in  the  dark  by  chase  atlantic  blasting  ,  most  likely  talking  about  how  they're  more  than  barely  bruised  knuckles,  a  lone  umbrella  in  the  foggy  mist,  coming  up  from  the  deep  end  of  the  water,  and  teary  anime  eyes  . [ ooc : bon , 22 , est , they / he , none. ] voice claim: lauren alaina.

so this is sasaki kumiko aka kimi or mimi aka the fuckin devil in disguise.

she is a 22 year old yeehaw singer from japan !  very unique but i was inspired listening to my own yeehaw music. so she has a lauren alaina voiceclaim.

her label is the grifter which makes me think of destiny 2 because of that hoe but it’s because she is very deceptive. this is evident in how she acts very cute, sweet, and warm to everyone but behind the scenes she is exactly the opposite.

which is why dancer in the dark is such a gr8 song for her. also bump chase atlantic always mk.

i havent dived into her a lot but this is what i have for her so far. she is just outwardly cute, kawaii i guess, and tries her best to be sweet and nice and kind to everyone she meets but has a dark side where she trusts nobody, barely even herself, and doesn’t ever let herself get close to someone in case they break her wall down. almost like she doesn’t want to feel anything ?

mimi has been in the US for a few years now but her career only started about two or so years ago when she put out some singles and then her debut album. more info on this will come asap, bare with me. but her passion has almost always been music, her mother being a driving force behind her coming to the states and starting a career because of the system over here.

this is shown when her “secret”  gets revealed. her debut album comes out and it sores to the top of the charts despite her not being a HUGE artist and while nobody questioned it at first, it came into the light via the show that her mother back in her home country of japan had been paying off her album sales which caused her to rise to fame. people are always going to listen to the ones at the top of the charts, mimi knew that, so her and her mother worked together to make the plan.

thing is, once it was ousted that her mother had done this, she turned against her, too, cutting off all contact with her and trying to “clear her name” or act like she had no involvement in this scandal. she is in the clear for now, but she has a feeling it won’t last for long. but every day is a new chance to play off how she fueled her own fame and is now soaring even higher due to the scandal.

most of her fans think she is in the clear while some have lost respect for her entirely because of her mother. but the thing is, it wasn’t only her mother, and like said above, it would only be due time before people started seeing her as suspicious as well. having finally released a brand new single and attempting to work on new music in general despite being in the mansion, she does all she can with her facade every day to make sure people still think she is the cute, kind girl she pretends to be.

‘and this is how it starts...’ ( the basics )

name: alby fox miller age: twenty-three gender: non-binary ( demi-boy ) pronouns: he / him & they / them date of birth: may 24th 1997 zodiac: gemini sun, pisces moon, aries rising orientation: pansexual occupation: bassist for drive like i do career claim: ross macdonald ( the 1975 ) genre: alt-pop, pop-rock

‘it’s the way we are, we were smoking by eleven & knocking ‘round town...’ ( background )

you’re born in 1997, in the north west of england. wilmslow, to be exact. a quaint and affluent town, just south of manchester. the family you’re born into is a comfortable one. not quite living lavishly, but not at all struggling, either. your parents both work in business out in the city. you go to a good school. but... all is not how you exactly want it to be.

see, your parents are quite pushy. they expect you to live how they want, rather than how you do. at the all boy’s academy they enroll you in as a teenager, they expect you to pick what they deem as intellectual subjects, such as foreign languages, further mathematics and computer science. there’s a focus on you becoming someone that makes a lot of money, rather than someone who is happy.

but you’re... not the kind of person that can be molded so easily. you’re a fairly happy-go-lucky kid, but also a rebellious one. your parents’ strict ways of trying to force you down their chosen path, only encourages you more heavily to choose your own. 

at fourteen, you meet the guys. lennox, jovi & jasper. they’re some of the only kids at school who can be bothered to be around you, with your high energy and bolshy attitude. really, they’re the only people who embrace you for who you are. they encourage your weirdness and outspokenness. it’s not long before you find yourself wanting to do everything together. it’s not long before the four of you are inseparable.

from there, you fully detach from everything your parents want you to be. you embrace your individuality. you also find the courage and bravery to come out to your parents as non-binary at the age of sixteen. there’s not a single person’s opinion that you’re afraid of, or even care about. 

it’s not all rainbows & sunshine, though. you struggle somewhat with anger issues, and a bit of depression. you’re also practically addicted to getting into trouble: picking fights with bullies at school, selling weed & pills to your friends around town, underaged drinking... you get the gist. though you keep your fears internal, you sometimes worry you’ll get nowhere in life.

so of course, the second the boys are talking about starting a band, you’re all in. imagine if you made it big someday? wouldn’t that be sick? you’re immediately drawn to bass guitar, and use a month’s worth of saved up pocket money to pick one up from the big music store in the city. thankfully, you pick it up quite quickly, because before you can even realize it, things are getting so... real. by sixteen, you don’t feel you have the option to stick around at school for sixth form, because drive like i do is already playing local venues and working on its first album.

you’re just seventeen when the album is released. somehow, the climb to fame is faster than you could have ever imagined. it seems like yesterday you were still watching bass tutorials on youtube in your bedroom and practicing in your friend’s garage after school. first is some notoriety across the uk, but before you know it — boom! global stardom. the fame is a heavy weight for someone so young to carry... but fuck it, it’s gonna be fun, and you know it.

you’re twenty-three now, and days are gone of pipedreams formed in your parent’s shoebox room. you split your time between manchester, london, and LA — and that’s just during rare moments of downtime from your world tours. your band is 4 albums in, and whoever hasn’t heard of you might as well have been living under a rock. is it narcissistic to think like that? maybe, but you don’t care. this is rock n’ roll, baby. this is the life.

naturally, all eyes are mostly on your very outspoken frontman. he’s controversial, but the media can’t get enough of him. as for you? to them, you’re... the band’s problem child. while you argue that your behavior is no different than that of your friend, he’s got the lead singer charm. they don’t seem to like you as much. why? well...

‘drink, fall, spew...’ ( troublesome tendencies & exposed secret )

you never really coped as well as you acted like you did, did you? while you were grateful for the fame, everything was... a lot, and it was all at once. you didn’t even get the chance to process it. 

take four twenty-somethings and add constant prying journalists, paparazzi, and constantly full schedules into the mix. and why not pepper in some typical rockstar vices, too? alcohol, drugs, parties, throwaway sex. things are destined to get a little rocky. though you tried at first not to show it to your fans, your destructive behavior soon got the better of you, and you became known to drunkenly lash out at paps, smash cameras and storm out of interviews when the questions got too personal. 

this all came to a head when you were caught on camera several times distributing acid tabs, cocaine and mdma at events, music festivals & awards shows. the press gave the band a pretty bad time over this, and given the other members’ controversies and lennon’s similar link to drugs, it wasn’t a good look for any of you. 

it didn’t matter that you had a side to you that was good, pure. that you were always kind and loving and down-to-earth towards your fans and friends. you were a bad seed, and you wound up on exposed with the rest of your bandmates. hopefully you can prove there’s more to you than what the media shows...

‘oh & you say, i’m such a cliche...’ ( personality )

immm gonna rush thru this section & write less formally bc those other parts too me WAY too long

basically a literal toddler. loves a laugh, loves a good time, but get on his bad side and he WILL throw a tantrum

it’s mainly people like press & paps he lets his anger out on. the band’s fans and people he’s close with on a personal level know he’s a good person underneath it all

loves a bit of mischief / rebellion / drama

king of hiding insecurities....

literal softie.... like... who allowed this binch to be so soft. he’s so open about how much he loves his friends (particularly his bandmates) and will platonically kiss and hug and love people all the time, particularly on the show bc he’s trying to show the cameras his softer side dfjghdfdfg

so excitable like WHERE does this kid get all his energy...

( tw drugs ) will probably struggle a bit on the show without access to drugs, but ( tw addiction mention ) he has never really been addicted or dependent on them, just a frequent user.

outspoken as fuck, has no filter sometimes oops

very flamboyant, in line with the general aesthetic of his band but also on a personal level. sports a kind of soft gothic/punk/early 2000s emo look. always paints his nails and wears makeup etc

sleeps around a lot but has never really been able to find a lasting relationship, has just had a bunch of short-lived flings???? but lowkey develops crushes at the drop of a hat and would love to properly fall in love with someone who could be with him forever & accept him for all his flaws, but he highly doubts that will ever happen fgjdhsfg

‘why don’t you figure my heart out?...’ ( wanted connections )

exes on good terms

exes on bad terms ( maybe someone who actually really wanted to stay with him but couldnt deal with his bullshit and now resents him? )

 someone who loves the band’s music & inflates his ego ab it

 someone he hasn’t seen for years that he’s reunited on the show & maybe they’re revisiting old feelings for each other??? and he wants it to be DIFFERENT this time but also theres shit tons of fucking cameras and shit which... makes things difficult...

first friend he made in LA or in the states in general, someone who showed him the ropes

someone who hates him / hates the band like PLEASE

and also just a straight up enemy maybe?? someone who finds him annoying as fuck??

FRIENDS!!!

hair color  :  black  ,  dyed blonde.

eye color  :  brown.

tattoos :  canon to zayn’s

piercings  :  none.

𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙.  triggers  include  :  death.

sami was born to an english mother & a pakistani father in london , england.  they were a close knit  ,  loving couple.  didn’t really have much to their name  ,  but they had each other.  after having a hard time conceiving  ,  his parents were both so excited when little sami was born.  

worth noting that sami was raised muslim by his parents  !  he’s proud of his upbringing  ,  but he no longer practices  &  hasn’t since high school.  still very vocal about his upbringing  &  is proud of his culture. 

anyway  !

sami was really the poster child for good toddlers.  well behaved  ,  kind.  kept out of trouble for a while  ,  until he started kindergarten.  and then he was a handful for his parents.  labels as gifted pretty quickly.  always bored and tired of being in school  &  teachers struggled to find something to enrich him with. 

literally just to give him something to do  ,  as sami got a little older they would bring him to little auditions for small commercials.  nothing really stuck  ,  but it lighted his spark for being in from of the camera.  realized he loved it. 

fast forward to sami in high school  ,  doing anything he could to convince his parents to let him get into acting.  they weren’t really buying it.  weren’t super into the idea. 

// death trigger warning.  and then , his father passed away from sudden illness.  it happened really quickly  &  he focused on making sure his mom was okay. after that  ,  they both needed a change.  she knew that his dream was to be in hollywood  &  wanted to help him  ,  so they moved out to la.  took a while  ,  but finally made it to the states.

// death trigger warning.  despite losing his father  ,  he didn’t have the hardest time coping.  his biggest concern was his mom.  he had always been closer to her  &  he wanted to make sure she was okay.  would do anything to support her and take care of her.

this is really when his personality started to come out.  going out , making friends , picking up small acting gigs.  was having a hard time finding roles  ,  but was approached by a model agency.  after this  ,  he started to get into modeling more. 

as soon as he got a small taste of fame  ,  he knew he wanted more.  started to catch on to how the headlines worked.  so  ,  he started making sure he was seen with important people.  did as many shoots , runways , etc. as possible all while dating anyone he could just for the fame.  didn’t once date anyone that meant anything to him. 

he really didn’t think about what he was doing  ,  he just knew that this would give him fame so he could give his mom a good life. all he cared about was making her proud.

as he climbs in fame for being a serial dater of important figures  ,  he also gathers a name in the modeling industry.  after that  ,  starts to get more into acting.  finally thinks he can stop dating around just for the follows.

and then it leaks that he wasn’t actually serious about anyone that he dated & that it was just for clout.  doesn’t try to explain to the media that it’s for his mom & just agrees to go on exposed and clear his name.

𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮. triggers include  :  none.

he’s truly personified sunshine. has the brightest most infectious energy.  one of those laughs that makes you laugh  &  smile that makes you smile.  if you hear someone laughing  ,  it’s probably him.

definitely has moments of being reckless  &  doesn’t really care that much for rules unless it’s going to put someone in danger.  does pretty much whatever he wants  ––  but he’s not trying to get anyone hurt  ,  he just wants to have some fun  !

has  “  i need advice  ––––  never mind i already did the stupid thing  ”  energy.

definitely one to be wandering the streets in the middle of the night just to see what he runs into.  what trouble he can get into.  

absolutely looks like he’s going to be a total dick until he talks  !  always shocks people when he opens his mouth.  everyone expects him to be rude  &  definitely gets type cast as villains  /  bad boys.

a bit wild  ,  loves to have fun  &  sometimes gets himself into trouble but doesn’t really drink or do drugs.  can manage to have fun completely sober.  he will drink  ,  sometimes.  but usually just stays sober. 

incredibly outgoing  !  will absolutely be your best friend if you want him to be.  he’s the person that will speak up when no one else will. 

has never been in love  !  he’s never even been in a relationship that wasn’t just for the boosting of his image. he’s absolutely terrified of love.

will sleep around but if more of a one night stand kinda person over fwb because he’s always worried about getting attached  ––  because lets be real  ,  he will get attached. 

a total mommas boy.  his mom is his favorite person  !  everything he does is for her.

has a terrible  ,  terrible mouth.  curses so much.

in general  ,  he’s found that he likes modeling more than acting  ,  but he started to get a little more into acting after his name was catching more.  however  ,  he loves fashion  &  is very confident.  knows that he looks like that  &  he’s proud of it  !  only sometimes goes to his head. he’s just super terrified of being average and boring. 

not a musician  ,  but does know how to play guitar  &  piano  !

basically just a lovable  ,  loving little heathen boy  !

bio.

i’m still trying to figure him out so there may be some holes here??? so i’m sorry!

- ezra was born into money and the entertainment industry, being the only child of two entertainment lawyers in the heart of new york city.

- despite his parents professions and the fact that he was raised mostly by a revolving door of nannies the first 12 years of his life, he had a relatively normal upbringing ( something that his parents wanted the most for him ). 

- at the age of 5 was when he was enrolled in his first dance class ( after months of begging to the nannies and his parents ) and he immediately fell in love with it. quickly becoming the most skilled dancer in his year.

- the rest of his childhood was spent mostly the same way - dance class every day, new nanny every year or so, his parents trying to convince him to try another sport on a weekly basis and him downright refusing. eventually they gave up trying to sway him and a wall began forming between them. one that even now, is still up and sturdy. 

- because of his inconstant upbringing, never really having an authority figure in his life for longer than a year or so and his parents essentially forgetting about his existence until they needed him for some sort of photo op his teenage years found ezra really testing his limits. seeing just how far he could go before someone stepped in and tried to ‘parent’ him. this is really where his disdain for authority and his general recklessness came from.

- it wasn’t until after ezra had graduated high school and came to the conclusion that college probably wasn’t for him that he realized he wanted to own his own dance studio and become a choreographer full time, not doing it as just a hobby anymore. 

- so with that ezra spent the next few years working his ass off, making a name for himself around the dance world before his big break finally came. an up and coming artist had seen one of his dances he uploaded on youtube and wanted to hire him to choreograph her new music video which was set to drop later that year. from that point on ezra had become the most sought after young choreographer in the industry with a hefty resume to back him up. his dream of owning his own dance studio becoming a reality only a year later.

- despite how much he had going on in his life and how busy he was practically everyday any downtime ezra found himself with was never spent like true ‘downtime’. never being the type to hang out in his apartment alone watching tv. no, ezra was always out. getting into some sort of mischief with his friends who only enabled his behavior. any indiscretions being nicely swept under the rug by his father.

- that fall at a charity gala for his dads company was where he met greg, his dads business partner of the last few years. in the beginning ezra didn’t really think much of their ‘friendship’ if you could even call it that, the occasional conversation here and there left much to be desired and the boy found himself quickly becoming bored. it wasn’t until after a late night face-time with the man himself that he realized that he could have some fun.

- the next few months found ezra and greg exchanging hundreds of texts, photos and even the occasional video, not one of them being something he could show his mother (if you know what i mean...). there was no romantic feelings (on his end at least) the boy honestly just loved all the attention he was getting. but just as quickly as it started it fizzled out, ezra quickly becoming bored once again and moving on. the whole situation being pushed to the back of his mind despite how often greg would still text him at 3am asking if he was up. 

- about a year went by before he was approached to be on a reality show, something that he wanted to turn down despite signing the contract only a couple weeks prior ( he was just too busy, had too much going on in his life to just drop it and be on a reality show for the next couple months). but when his secret was made public to the world he knew that he was stuck and honestly has no idea what he has gotten himself into. 

----------

personality.

- ezra can be kind of... a lot to people who don’t know him that well. he always needs to be constantly moving, busy doing something to keep his mind and body occupied because when the boredom hits that’s where the reckless side of his personality comes out. ( something he has been slowly realizing over the past year and been trying to get better about. ) while he does his best to try and curb it that doesn’t always work out in his favor.

- despite all of that ezra is genuinely a good person, maybe a sassy little shit when he wants to be but he is typically always in a good mood. the type of person who can light up a room just by walking into it.

background  .

christian  kwon  grew  up  in  laguna  beach  ,  california  to  a  pediatrician  and  an  optometrist  ,  so  his  life  was  pretty  comfortable  from  the  start  .  he  grew  up  near  the  beach  and  in  a  home  that  was  bigger  than  what  was  needed  for  the  three  of  them  ,  but  that  was  his  parents  making  life  comfortable  for  him  .  

growing  up  ,  christian  was  the  kid  who  had  everything  ,  but  never  treated  people  as  less  than  .  granted  ,  he  went  to  school  with  the  kids  who  had  larger  than  life  homes  of  dreamed  of  getting  a  mercedes  for  their  sixteenth  ,  but  he  had  friends  who  didn’t  have  that  kind  of  lifestyle  ,  and  never  treated  anyone  other  than  the  way  he  wanted  to  be  . 

his  parents  were  constantly  putting  christian  into  various  after  school  clubs  to  keep  him  busy  ,  and  this  was  where  he  discovered  his  love  for  music  .  he  started  out  with  learning  how  to  play  the  guitar  ,  but  then  he  eventually  found  himself  being  pulled  towards  the  drums  .  christian  wasn’t  a  prodigy  by  any  means  ,  but  he  took  the  instrument  quite  easily  .  

it  was  no  surprise  that  during  high  school  ,  christian  decided  to  start  a  band  .  it  took  a  lot  of  trial  and  error  ,  and  for  about  six  months  the  band  didn’t  even  have  a  name  .  during  those  six  months  ,  the  band  worked  together  to  find  their  sound  and  constantly  wrote  music  together  until  they  eventually  found  themselves  with  a  small  gig  where  they  debuted  as  after  laughter  .

the  band  continued  to  work  towards  their  dreams  ,  eventually  recording  their  first  album  (  all  we  know  is  falling  )  and  being  a  part  of  the  lineup  for  the  warped  tour  following  their  graduation  from  high  school  in  2011  .  following  the  tour  ,  the  band  began  working  on  their  second  album  in  2013  (  riot!  )  and  this  was  the  album  that  catapulted  them  into  mainstream  success  due  to  the  singles  crushcrushcrush  ,  misery  business  ,  and  that’s  what  you  get  .  the  album  went  platinum  ,  and  they  were  nominated  for  their  first  grammy  .

the  group  went  on  their  second  tour  ,  and  took  a  short  break  before  diving  into  their  third  album  .  they  were  soon  releasing  brand  new  eyes  in  2016  ,  and  they  were  off  on  their  first  world  tour  .  during  the  tour  ,  the  band  released  their  ep  singles  club  ,  and  finished  their  tour  a  few  months  later  .  deserving  a  bit  of  rest  ,  the  band  took  a  year’s  hiatus  before  returning  to  the  music  scene in  2018  with  their  album  paramore  .  the  album  spawned  four  singles  ,  and  one  of  them  ,  ain’t  it  fun  ,  went  on  to  win  the  band  their  first  grammy  .

later  in  that  same  year  ,  the  band  released  their  self - titled  album  after  laughter  ,  and  went  on  a  nine  month  tour  to  perform  both  albums  .  

exposed  .

during  his  time  in  the  band  ,  christian  found  himself  a  committed  relationship  .  the  couple  were  together  for  about  two  and  a  half  years  before  christian  finally  proposed  ,  and  they  were  both  excited  to  be  getting  married  .  their  engagement  had  been  a  blissful  one  ,  and  within  two  years  they  were  ready  to  get  married  .  the  day  came  ,  and  christian  found  himself  with  cold  feet  ,  thus  deciding  to  leave  his  fiancé  without  so  much  of  a  goodbye  before  heading  out  of  the  country  .

christian’s  name  had  been  slandered  due  to  his  decision  ,  and  his  management  team  wasn’t  sure  of  how  to  fix  the  error  of  his  ways  .  therefore  ,  when  the  opportunity  rose  ,  his  team  had  him  cast  on  the  show  in  a  way  to  help  clear  up  speculations  about  him  and  as  a  way  to  fix  the  tarnished  image  he  obtained  following  the  end  of  his  engagement  .

temperament  .

he’s  a  bit  of  an  asshole  .  not  a  bit  ,  he  is  .  christian  is  very  much  a  smooth  talker  and  knows  how  to  get  what  he  wants  due  to  his  charisma  .  definitely  the  ‘  mr  steal  your  girl  (  or  boy  !  )  ’  type  of  smooth  talker  because  that’s  what  he  does  best  .  he’s  wildly  charismatic  and  has  a  very  strong  habit  of  saying  things  he  doesn’t  mean  in  order  to  get  what  he  wants  .

his  emotional  and  romantic  stunting  mostly  stems  from  him  purposefully  putting  up  walls  that  he  makes  nearly  impossible  for  people  to  break  down  .  after  the  ugly  ending  to  his  engagement  (  and  joining  the  cast  of  exposed  )  ,  christian  has  shut  himself  off  from  others  not  only  for  his  image  ,  but  because  he  simply  can’t  deal  with  it  anymore  .

can  be  quite  the  meme  sometimes  .  never  truly  knows  what’s  going  on  ,  but  somehow  manages  to  put  two  and  two  together  .  has  a  really  loud  laugh  when  he  truly  finds  something  funny  ,  and  probably  radiates  himbo  energy  like  there’s  nothing  to  it  .  not  really  a  point  of  his  personality  ,  but  he’s  always finding  a  way  to  make  something  musical  ?  whether  it  be  drumming  his  fingers  ,  constantly  humming  a  tune  he  can’t  get  out  his  head  ,  or  randomly  singing  a  song  when  he  hears  a  word  from  the  lyrics  .

headcanons  .

christian  identifies  as  cis  male  and  as  non binary  .  this  is  mostly  due  to  the  fact  that  he  that  he  doesn’t  identify  to  any  gender  ,  but  he  acknowledges  that  he  has  been  socialized  as  a  man  .  he  is  fine  with  someone  using  he  /  him  /  his  and  they  /  them  /  theirs  pronouns  when  speaking  to  or  referring  to  him  .

very  much  so  romantically  and  emotionally  stunted  ,  therefore  he  bides  his  time  with  casual  sex  and  noncommittal  acts  of  romance  .  typically  can  be  found  slipping  out  of  beds  in  the  middle  of  the  night  ,  never  returning  texts  /  calls  (  or  blocking  the  number  entirely  )  ,  and  at  times  (  and  considered  to  be  his  worst  trait  yet  )  will  pretend  as  though  he  doesn’t  know  who  the  other  is  .

don’t  ask  him  about  technology  because  he  doesn’t  know  !  despite  being  twenty - seven  he  can  be  quite  ...  behind  the  times  .  the  only  reason  he  has  the  latest  gadgets  and  such  is  because  his  management  team  ensures  that  he  has  it  .  

his  stage  fashion  and  off - stage  fashion  styles  tend  to  differ  greatly  .  when  on  state  ,  christian  can  often  be  seen  sporting  the  typical  drummer  attire  :  half - opened  button  downs  ,  form  fitting  jeans  ,  vans  ,  and  looser  tees  .  in  short  ,  he  likes  for  his  shirts  to  be  loose  as  he  really  gets  into  playing  .  as  for  off - stage  ,  it  ends  to  be  a  little  more  refined  .  he  can  be  seen  wearing  a  touch  more  designer  and  he  likes  layers  even  when  it’s hotter  outside  .  still  an  avid  fan  of  half - opened  button  downs  ,  but  instead  of  jeans  ,  he’ll  replace  them  with  shorts  depending  on  the  weather  .

his  signature  within  the  band  is  often  dying  his  fair  various  colors  ,  with  the  most  common  being  pink  and  blonde  .  he  tends  to  get  a  perm  because  he  likes  his  hair  to  be  curly  /  fluffy  ,  but  a  slick  back  with  an  undercut  hairstyle  ?  chef’s  kiss  .
