-- a quick note that i took some liberates in creating the blurbs below ... as you can probably see. i featured characters from three difference versions of josie and the pussycats (the comic series, the original animated series and the 2011 film), along with characters from some other archie comics such as sabrina the teenage witch. also keep in mind that you don’t have to abide strictly by that is said in the blurb - they’re just bases for the character. you can work around what is written and do whatever you want to make them much more ... dimensional. 

background: a local girl band that ran into random luck while playing at a badly promoted underground rock festival. was signed by the company partially due to their looks, but also because they wanted something "fresh and new" to put out. the company doesn't take their sound or dedicated toward music seriously and it pisses them off but they're all determined to represent girl power, female musicianship, etc. to the masses. ■ similar to: lillix, shonen knife, dum dum girls, the bangles, the donnas, scandal, sleater-kinney, stereophony, etc. in concept.

the josie: lead singer, lead guitarist and primary lyricist. one of the two founding members of the band, along with the valerie. a bit of a scatterbrained oddball, has difficulty deciding what she wants but well meaning and dedicated to her craft. has always dreamt of becoming a musician and is seen as both the face and driving force of the band. childhood friends and in a long term flirtationship with the alan m. (britt)

the melody: drummer. childhood friend of the valerie and first official recruit to the band. known more for her looks than for her drumming skills - which are very great, thank you very much. happy-go-lucky, lives with her head up in the clouds, kind of a space cadet and a tad bit over emotional but passionate, loving and supportive of those around her. (kari)

the valerie: bassist and primary composer. one of the two founding members of the band, along with the josie. loyal, headstrong, opinionated, levelheaded. has taken on the (hardass) motherly role in the band ... and also with some others. [note: character must have a black face claim.] (cass)

the sabrina: secondary guitarist and lyricist. second to be recruited to the band, not long after moving to the city with her family. persistent, honest, flirtatious, very spunky and often the type to not look before she jumps into something. (maddie)

the pepper: rhythm guitarist. third and final to be recruited to the band. childhood friend of the josie. intelligent with a sharp and cynical wit, calm and a bit more emotionally reserved than the other members. (faith)

the alexandra: keyboardist. the final member to join the group ... somewhat to the dismay of the others. twin sister of the alexander and former tag along, she was asked to join the group during a moment of weakness ... and need for a keyboardist. blunt, often crude, scheming, often hateful and self-centered and very, very misunderstood, her relationship with the others is ... shaky (and a bit comical) at best. (emma)

the alexander: band manager and reluctant roadie if needed. answered an ad for a manager when the band first formed and the members have ... kind of, sort of regretted letting him take the job ever since. rich, temperamental, wishy washy, spontaneous and ... not very good or dependable at his job. twin brother of the alexandra. (millie)

background: your typical pop boy group. half of the original members (the dj, the les, the albert and the sock) trained together for years, originally being told that they were going to debut to the public as a harmonizing quartet ala boys ii men before the remaining three members (the travis, the marco and the alan m) were brought in and they became [insert group name here]. they debuted to immediate overwhelming stardom and, despite the fact that their fanbase is still incredibly dedicated, the company is trying to do them in a bit because they feel that they need to "move on" to something fresh and new, aka: the girl band. ■ similar to: backstreet boys, n*sync, new kids on the block, bts, exo, super junior, arashi, the jonas brothers, one direction, etc. in both popularity and sound. 

the dj: main vocalist, main dancer and leader. sarcastic and usually calm, but not afraid to take charge (both due to his leader position and in general) or bite back if need be. usually the spokesperson for the group on top of the "guide" for the other members.

the travis: lead rapper. always tired, easily frustrated, the first to complain and the first to give up when something doesn’t go his way. raised with a silver spoon in his mouth and spotlight on his head so it’s somewhat difficult at times for him to share that with others. childhood friend of the alan m.

the marco: subvocalist. self-proclaimed leader of the group despite the fact that the dj has the official title under his belt. loud and, as some would say, a bit on the obnoxious side. reminiscent of a frat or party boy, sometimes vulgar.

the les: lead vocalist. sensitive and shy. one of the least popular members of the group due to how quiet he is. the type that has a lot to say but only does when either there's a dire need for something to be said or he has no other choice. 

the alan m: vocalist and lyricist. childhood friend of both the josie and the travis. was given the "mysterious heartthrob" role by the company when, in reality, he's far from that. self-confident and crafty but somewhat of an airhead, though still well meaning. in a flirtationship with the josie. (bri)

the albert: main dancer and subvocalist. mischievous, something of a goofball, somewhat sensitive. the type to change their personality and style to fit both new situations and new groups of people that they meet up with. (kae)
