hey hi! i go by cookie or cj (call me what you want, i just thought cookie was cooler). i’m sorry about how late this introduction is, but i’ve been busy taking care of a family friend -- which i still am, so my activity may be sporadic. anyway, i mainly chose muse i because the choreography and the rivarly between he and another muse. i took dance for over 4 years (tap, ballet, jazz & hip hop) and idk man it’s been awhile but i still think dancing itself is so cool and inspiring and i  LOVE binge watching choreo vids and i felt like this was the perfect muse for me, considering the pre-determined playful aspect of him too. anyway let’s get into the actual character bio, or what i have of it so far:

THE SILHOUETTE;  i chose this title because he’s a crew member and not a singer/star.  he is always in the background.  maybe people wonder about him, maybe they don’t, but he’s there. FULL NAME:  roman pelletier. ALIAS:  ro. GENDER:  cismale, he & him. AGE:  twenty three. SPOKEN LANGUAGES:  french (native), english. ORIENTATION:  bisexual. HEIGHT;  6 ft. EYE COLOR:  blue. POSITIVE TRAITS:  mellow, practical. NEGATIVE TRAITS:  self-indulgent,  confrontational. OCCUPATION:  choreography.

- since roman was a young boy, he has been interested in dancing. it’s been a way to express himself without actually having to say anything and to his parents’ surprise it’s something that he naturally picked up on.  his body tended to flow with whatever song was playing, he could practically make it his own.

bio & pinterest

hi hi !! i'm sure you guys will recognize this as a reoccuring theme sooner rather than later, but i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing at any given moment, so i'm just gonna dive into a quick introduction to benji and hope for the best ! if you are interested in some slightly more organized thoughts i would recommend taking a look at his bio ( which i just fixed the link for because i'm dumb and it was broken this whole time haha, so let me know if there are any problems! ) & i hope you guys enjoy :)

okay so benjamin is born in greenwich, connnecticut, a town famous almost exclusively for housing some of the wealthiest families in america and not much else. his moms are both lawyers, cutthroat defense attorneys that pay for the family's summers in europe and vacation homes down south with somebody's elses blood money. he's an only child, and their scrutiny is merciless as it curates an envy for the anonymity of the shadows. their expectations pile too high in his throat, and he fears the day he chokes and lets them down, for it is inevietable. but he knows they'll do anything to get him across that finish line, walking across the stage at a prestigous law school he couldn’t care less about, which in an odd way is more terryifying than it is comforting.

music is not something that even crosses his mind until much later in life. it was never an option, still isn't, so he decides early that it is not worth the energy of entertaining, even as he finds peace only when the music is loud enough to drown out everything else. he is desperate to mold himself into somebody worth his mothers' undying affections, not just charades and party tricks. but they are patient with him nonetheless, smiles tight and forgiving through it all, and his stomach turns more often than not with the way pity flashes in a matching set of cool eyes, lightning-quick.

benji is created in just sixteen hours and thirty-seven minutes, an accident. it's a textbook definition of overnight fame, a shoddy youtube video gaining far more traction than it was ever meant to. he's nineteen and only in his second semester at college, and music was never the plan, but neither was law school, really. it's a headache, dizzying to imagine taking a life where he steps outside of his family's hold, and he is forced to make a real decision for the first time in his life. so he does.

in the same breath that he signs a contract with the label, they are prying his music from his fingers, the lyrics of missing a life that was never his to begin with are lifted away and delivered to somebody that looks more the part of soft and remoreseful. ( cue lincoln entering stage left, hello bb ) rather, he’s fitted with quick and aggressive lines, still technically his words but molded in a way that don’t fit right in his mouth. they tell him it fits his image better, and doesn’t he want to be famous? the worst part is that it works, his fans eat it up, and demand more, more, more. anger thrums beneath his skin, obvious even as he shoves it down like always, but any pr agent could spot it from a mile away, and they tell him to use that instead. he is familiar with the use of disguises, years of sneaking around in his own home make excellent practice, but it leaves a bad taste in his mouth all the same. nobody has ever allowed him the vice of anger before, though. he knows a lifeline when he sees one, and he runs with it. benji realizes all too late that this is not the freedom he thought he would be granted, realizes he should have known better, that he let himself get passed over from his mothers’ iron grasp to the label’s. he decides he prefers the way disappointing others lasts longer and feels better than chasing approval, and lets this time be different.

[ H E A D C A N O N S ]

( i know this is all dramatic backstory so far lmao, let me introduce you to who this dumb asshole really is )

more than anything else, benji is all bark with no bite. he’ll curse you out for accidentally waking him up at 7:30 instead of 8:00, and hold the grudge for hours with icy stares and glorified pouting, like he’s got a personal vendetta for making himself miserable. he’s often a bit standoffish, distant in the apathetic way that you could cry on his shoulder for hours and still not hear a word out of him, look over and he’ll offer a placating grin and a shrug. he tells the truth to a fault, blunt and unforgiving and too impatient to waste time playing games with lies and faux-affection. even with all his own bouts of irritability, the kid is an absolute idiot when it comes to reading people and understanding social cues and he’s often left blind-sided when people are pissed at him without explicitly spelling it out. still, he doesn’t hold any actual distaste for anybody on the tour, floating between groups based on whoever’s personality suits him better that day, unless they are the ones to escalate the matter, in which case, good luck charlie. forgive-and-forget isn’t really in his vocabulary. once he makes a decision, it’s near impossible to get him to change his mind.

when he wants to be, or if you’ve entertained his interests in one way or another, he warms up and and indulges you with his internal monologue ( your chances are better if there’s a camera around, he doesn’t often bother wasting the energy otherwise, but still ) actually, it is not as hard as it sounds to gain his favor. crack a dumb joke about pr or offer him half a snickers bar and you’ve already got a foot in the door, baby. he reveals his friendship in odd ways — sarcastic comments and random compliments, nonchalant and declared like fact rather than opinion.

the real shortcut into his brain is alcohol. flash forward to like 11pm on any given day and the asshole is chugging fireball like it’s the first sip of water he’s had after years of dehydration, suddenly all bright grins and loud laughs, eager to collect drinking buddies like playing cards. it’s a harsh juxtaposition, from brooding and fabricated to giggling and tipsy, and his tolerance isn’t nearly as high as he likes to pretend it is, so he’s drunk off his ass and acting a fool more often than not. he’ll trade secrets easily, charming and tongue loose in a way that it never is when he’s sober. ( don’t even get me started with the amount of people he hooks up with, oh boy ) drunk benji’s a real headache for the crew, considering he’s not of drinking age yet in america and he’s got a rigid mask to maintain in order to keep up his charades and remain relevant. he refuses to be ashamed of it, though, and he’s adamant to make things difficult for them, relishing instead in impulsive decisions he never got the chance to make for most of his life. long story short, in a pinch, buy him a handle and he’ll probably like you.

when i say benji will try anything once, i mean it seriously, offer him literally anything and odds are that he’ll say yes. it’s kind of ridiculous. his self-destructive streak is always up for a good time, wink wink ( this doesn’t just mean drugs or anything, like dare him to eat an entire jar of nutella in under 10 minutes? where’s the spoon )

unfortunately he’s a stereotypical rich kid through and through, and he’s got the nicotine addiction to show for it. he won’t even smoke cigarettes out of the principle of the thing ( unless he’s blackout drunk, in which case, oh boy, watch your pockets ) but he’s got at least two juuls on him at any given moment. nobody knows how he manages it, but he’s got an extensive supply of the mango flavored pods even though they’re banned, because they’re the only ones he’ll use. he’s got lots of connections, and the fact that he uses them for this pretty much sums up his entire personality.

you would think that benji, with his reformed rich kid attitude and all his burning anger and sarcastic eye-rolling, would only drink expensive coffee, black and strong, right? no. he’ll walk up to any barista, pissed just to be awake before noon and gaze as hard and cold as hell itself frozen over, and order himself a frozen caramel frappuccino with extra whipped cream and extra caramel drizzle on top, deadpan and monotone. to add insult to injury, he’ll chase it by shotgunning a can of redbull, living off of unhealthy amounts of caffeine to have enough energy to deal with the others at all times. it’s ridiculous.

he’s grudgingly okay with the fact that his social media accounts have been sacrificed for his image, wiped clean and shaped into the public figure he is today. however, he guards his spotify account with his life, keeping it private and refusing to monitor this aspect of his life. his music taste is everything to him, and while he’s willing to plaster songs he’s never listened to all over his instagram story, his spotify is an extension of him, and he fights like a dog to keep it that way.

last but not least, benji’s fashion is atrocious. really, for the greater good nobody should let him dress himself, ever, and they usually don’t. he’s got quite the bad reputation amongst the stylists, infamous for scowling at the high-fashion look they want to stuff him in, refusing to hear reason to the fact that he has to wear makeup to the red carpet. whenever he knows beyond a doubt that no cameras will be waved in front of his eyes, he practically lives in sweats like it’s his religion, paired with genuinely whichever shirt he first lays eyes on. ( listen, he grew up filthy rich and just bought his first pair of sweatpants when he went to college, let him indulge bb ) some members will swear up and down to the fact that they saw him walk around in mysteriously stained sweatpants and a stolen back-up dancer’s skin tight, hot pink mesh crop top for a full hour into rehearsal before he woke up enough to realize his mistake. he’ll bite your head off for even bringing it up, but glance down and double-check what he’s wearing just in case.

.　 . • ☆    . ° .• BIO

born into wealth and status, izzy grew up in the city of calabasas, where she was close in vicinity to hollywood’s glitz & glamour and the city of angels. 

she grew up loving music, learning how to play instruments at a very young age. she took guitar lessons, piano lessons, and eventually, voice lessons once she got a little older and began showing more interest in singing.

being an only child, she was spoiled rotten and got everything she wanted, except her father’s love and attention. 

her father, a millionaire entrepreneur, was always busy with work and rarely ever home. he was a serious and cold-hearted man who only knew how to show affection with material things. 

desperate for her father’s attention, izzy wanted to do something with her life and make her daddy proud, and that was how she ended up beginning her singing career. 

her mother, who loves izzy dearly, did everything in her power to help izzy’s music career take off, making calls to anyone and everyone she knew in the industry. 

getting her signed to a label proved more difficult than anticipated. although everyone could see she obviously had the talent and skills to back it up from the years of experience she’s had, her outspoken and spunky personality was deemed problematic. having a smart mouth would get her into a lot of scandals and no label or management wanted to deal with that. 

that was how she ended up getting placed in a duo with someone who was a little more reserved, someone who would tone down her big personality a bit. she hated this - she just wanted to prove her father wrong and make him proud, but this only validated her father’s doubts that she could make a name for herself. 

.　 . • ☆    . ° .• PERSONALITY TRAITS

(+) being an only child and having parents who were always busy, izzy learned to be independent at a young age. she is also extremely determined and ambitious, someone who will stop at nothing when she has her mind set on something. although she rarely ever lets her guard down, once she has let you in, she is a very loyal person. she is also super honest; she won’t hesitate to speak her mind. 

(-) izzy is someone who has a lot of pent up anger and emotions, due to the daddy issues she’s had her entire life. she’s easily irritable, feisty, and really stubborn, making it incredibly difficult to change her mind about things. she can be controlling, craving for control in all aspects of her life. this also means she hates being controlled by others as it threatens her independence.

at stellar, jessica...

is known as the tempest because of how callous and provocative she can be, and because she always knows the right thing to say or do to bring out the worst in people

background

coming from a family of lawyers based in australia, she was groomed at a young age to follow in their footsteps and become a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. she was a model student and daughter, and strived to do her best at everything that she did. 

at a certain point, it became too tiring for her, so one couldn’t really blame her if she wanted to let loose once in awhile. on her first year of law school, she had one too many bottles of alcohol and accidentally caused a fire, setting the library ablaze. of course, she was expelled, but more than that, she was disowned by her family as well. 

a professor who recognized her ability didn’t believe she was a lost cause, and referred her to work at a PR firm. with no life path to follow, jess took a chance. working at a PR firm was almost like taking on a case -- all she had to do was make sure the client came out on top. and boy, was she damn good at it. after taking on small clients at the PR firm, she was eventually given a bigger responsibility by taking over stellar’s clients. 

personality

jess had always been determined. but after getting expelled from law school and being disowned, this only amplified her drive to come back stronger, and become successful even without her family’s help. she loves being around people, and is slowly becoming popular in the industry. but of course, she has ulterior motives for being so sociable -- it’s so she could get close to people.  lying had always come naturally to her. it was a blessing in the world of PR because she could easily bend the truth to favor her clients.  it was dangerous to get close to people, platonically and romantically. opening up way too much could cause problems and come in the way of her goals.

a client who she considers a passion project

hi i hadn't thought out an intro post at all so i'm really just shootin straight from the hip here to introduce you to my lil beeb lincoln

i took a weird little spin on lincoln's skeleton so you'll have to bare with me as i attempt to explain her quirks here.

so lincoln is a sweet lil gal okay. she's from a small town in indiana outside of indianapolis, and she lived a very simple life until she was about 16. she's the youngest of three daughters. her mom is an elementary school teacher and her dad is the owner of a local restaurant. she had a very good and happy childhood.

linc has always always loved performing, though she never thought of it as something she would do for a career. she always assumed she would grow past it and find a reasonable normal job and stay in indiana. but she got discovered while she was performing at the county fair when she was 16 and signed to a record label which was v exciting for her and her fam!

as per lincoln's skeleton, the music she sings was not actually written by her. instead, all of her lyrics are written by benji / muse j (cass hmu lets chat). the decision to have lincoln sing these songs and claim them as her own was made by her label, and it's something lincoln honestly feels really uncomfortable with, but being so new to the industry she doesn't really know how to put her foot down, so she's rolling with it. or trying to.

this whole experience of kind of pretending to be someone she's not has sparked a crisis for lincoln. it was one thing to record the songs, but it was something more to have to give interviews talking about her intimate thoughts when they weren't actually her own. the straw that broke the camel's back, however, was how her fans related to the songs and would send her messages, or come up to her at meet and greets and share the difficulties of their own lives with her. lincoln is struggling with extreme guilt and anxiety as a result of all the lies she's been telling to keep up this image.

she's trying to be grateful and excited for the opportunity stellar has given her, but those feelings are mostly being drowned out by fear currently. she's afraid of being found out by the other performers and crew. she's afraid of press and meeting with fans. and she's also a little afraid of all the travelling and being so far from home for so long, since she's still not used to this whole lifestyle.
