#nosam

Andrew Roberts had a loving household until his mother left when he was very young. His father had turned to drinking not long before that. When his father drank, his father grew violent. That’s all that needs to be said. He met Chris and Mason in high school, and they had already formed the band together and simply included him in. They gave him somewhere to go when he needed it, and someone to help him when he wouldn’t go to someone for it. The band is his found family, along with Starlight, and will stay that way.* *He would never admit any of this. 

Chris Symes is a trans Jewish man. He plays bass for Nosam, as one of the first trans men in a popular band ever. He’s been friends with all of Nosam for years, Mason the longest, as he pretty much reformed Mason from the high school dick jock he had been. He has a huge heart, a penchant for Serena and writing itself, and anxiety, but he’s sure as hell making it in the world. 

Austin Salinas was born in Puerto Rico and moved to the United States with his mother and grandparents after his father died. He’s been into music his entire life. Even homeless in the States he found his way to music. He was bouncing around, making money to send home to his mom and grandparents, when early-start Nosam came across him and pretty much adopted him in. They’ve been a second family ever since. 

     A commitment shy flirty bachelor at heart, Mason has always been the single man in the band, ready to sleep his way through any crowd as he pleases.  He will do as he pleases, when he pleases, as long as it’s not hurting anyone. He’s a sweetheart, really, and will do what he can to make anyone happy.
