Planning for stories and stuff.
Word, dawg.
note: this intro hasn't been thoroughly updated in a couple years
This is a world I made mostly for my own use, but I made it a public world anyways. I'll be posting things about story outlines, my characters, my comics (including fan comics), WIPs, ect... It's pretty much a world where I can store information and/or plan things. xD
Below are short descriptions of my stories to help you know what's going on. xD It also shows which characters are in which story, along with their extended profile if I have one made. Some stories aren't mentioned because I don't work on/think about them often. Therefore, not all of my characters are mentioned.

Key Family / Relatives: His mom
Relationship with Friends: He hangs out with the popular kids, but has a somewhat "fake" relationship with most them. (I'll explain later in the post); Is truely friends with Dare and (almost by default) Rick

Style of Speech: Uh.... calm, laid back... teenager-ish... um. (I'm never goood at filling out these character sheets, so why do I do it? ;A;)
Personality: He has a kind and sincere heart, but he has a hard time showing it because of all the anxiety from the facade he keeps with his "friends" and dealing with his mother. He also has a slight cynicalness about him which usually only shows in his thoughts. It is usually directed toward his mother, Jake, Clair, and often times himself.
Blablah. Tim is kind of weird to talk about... because HE'S NOT A VIRGINNNN! AAAAAAH! Which is weird for me, 'cause pretty much all my characters are virgins... I THINK.... (!?!??!)
Actually that's false, because much of the OFAV crew are adults. BUT ANYWAYS...
So.
Tim is a 17 year old boy in the same grade as Dare and Rick. At school, Tim somehow got intertwined with the "popular" kids and is kind of stuck in their group. He doesn't share many of the same interests with most of the kids, and his friendship with them is more or less fake.
He befriended Dare in 8th grade. :M He doesn't have to put up an act around Dare, so they truely are friends. :D Tim was also acquainted with Rick around the same time since Dare and Rick are always together. However, Tim became closer friends with Rick in 11th grade 'cause they had some classes together. (Not exactly a spoiler, but...)
From 8th to 10th grade, Tim had a girlfriend. :U (WHAT, A GIRLFRIEND??!?!??! NONE OF MY CHARACTERS EVER HAVE GIRLFRIENDS!!!! Except Zack. BUT THAT'S BECAUSE HE'S ZACK.)(Actually, it's kind of sad, isn't it? A lot of my characters don't have girlfriends... Like Dare and Damian. And Alcott. And... then the rest of the guys are gay, haha... ("""OTL) I probably have more straight guy characters, I'm just not thinking hard enough. ...And then there's Jamal... >_>;)
ANYWAYS, in 9th and 10th grade, Tim had a girlfriend, Clair. It was Clair that asked Tim out. Tim wasn't totally crazy about her; he thought she was pretty, but that was basically it. But in order to keep up his "cool" facade, he agreed to go out with her.
She was totally gaga about Tim, though. :I BECAUSE TIM'S JUST SO APPEALING, HAHAHHEHEHOEH. (??) Yeah. She was all like, "I LOVIE-LOVE-LOVE YOU, TIMMY. ♥♥♥" and Tim's all like, "Uhh, ahehe, k? :D;;;;;"
M-hm.
And then one day, they did it.
(WHAT THE HECK, OUT OF NO WHERE.)
Um..... >______________> And then they broke up a couple weeks later.
(WHAT THE HECK, OUT OF NO WHERE AGAIN.)
xD;;;;; THIS SEEMS LIKE THE MOST WEIRD AND SPONTANIOUS STORY, HUH?
But it's definitely a lot more dramatic if I were to write it out. .3.;; So basically, Clair talked Tim into doing it with her, and he regreted it completely, afterward. The reason Tim felt so bad about doing it was because Tim's Mom got pregnant with Tim at 16. (At this point in the story, Tim is 16 as well.) So he felt that doing it with Clair made him no different from his mom. Which is why Clair and Tim broke up later, because he felt he couldn't keep up his lie anymore.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO ANOTHER TOPIC: Tim's relationship with his mom.
Tim is an only child who lives with his mom. His mom, Cassidy, got pregnant with Tim when she was 16; the father was Cassidy's high school boyfriend. They never got married; Tim's father bailed on Cassidy as soon as he found out she was pregnant.
Tim hates his mother. In fact, one rule he lives by is to not be like her in any way. (as in deliberately acting in ways she doesn't act, etc...) Again, that's why Tim regretted having sex with his girlfriend because he was acting like his mother.
Tim's mom is a drinker and a smoker, and is usually out late drinking. She's also usually unemployed. Tim lives in a shabby apartment and learns to take care of himself as a result. He's usually the one that picks his mom up from the bar, and takes care of his mother more than she takes care of him. However, he takes care of his mother out of an assumed obligation rather than out of emotional attachment. (Or so it seems.)
She and Tim don't talk much, so they haven't really developed any sort of relationship. Throughout his life, Tim had to face the verbal and occasionally physical abuse from his mother. Cassidy's life is really hectic and disorderly, so she puts all the blame on Tim. She tells him often that everything is his fault, and if he weren't born everything would be better.
And he believes her since she's told him so much.
Apparently, Tim looks like his dad. This is another reason why Tim and his mom don't get along; Cassidy doesn't particularly like looking at Tim because he reminds her of her ex boyfriend. When she's drunk, she'll sometimes mistake Tim for her ex-boyfriend, and sometimes call him by her ex's name.
As much as he doesn't like his mother, he can't leave her because she's all he's got.
WOO drama. Okay.
Despite all the drama going on in Tim's life, he's actually a good guy. I guess that's why he's popular and people like him; he tries to be nice to everyone. Or more accurately, he tries to agree with everyone. But that's also his problem... he doesn't like to disagree with people. So even if he doesn't think something's right, he doesn't say anything. This is most obvious when he's with Jake, one of the popular kids in school. Tim hangs out with Jake the most out of all his "friends", which is unfortunate for him because Jake is the crudest and most obnoxious of the bunch.
Tim's whole character is kind of like a... "virtuous liar", because he's a kind and virtuous person, but he can't help but lie because of how his life is situated. ...that makes no sense. BUT THAT'S HOW IT IS!
If you read the spoilers way earlier, you know that his love interest is Rick. But how does Rick fit into all of this? Rick is someone Tim learns to lean on, and they become close friends. Rick helps Tim get by in life.
...I could talk more about Rick and Tim, but I won't just becaus I'm lazy. xD
And now for something completely different: Tim likes grunge music! AAAA, DEPRESSING MUSIC FROM THE 90S. Yeah. Like Nirvana. He also likes alternative rock. Oh, and his favorite band is R.E.M. (so random, idk.)
Tim also likes to read manga. :U Yeah, idk. He gets pretty hyped up about it sometimes. xD; He'll be like, "DARE, THIS MANGA WAS AMAZING IT WAS ALL LIKE AMAZING YEAHHHHH" and Dare'll be like "Ahaha you weirdie. :D" (....;;;) But usually only around Dare and Rick.
He's also taking Japanese in school. He's in LEVEL 5 JAPANESE WHOOOO YEAHH.
.....
Bloop bloop... Just thought of something else to add. o3o
Because Rick is traveling the country and such with Dare and Something Impossible for much of his senior year, he asked Tim to babysit his little siblings (namely his 8-year-old brother James) when necessary. So Tim is pretty close to Rick's family, especially James. :M Which is good...
Oh yeah, by the way, none of this story is ever talked about in the Rock Band comic. Tim does appear from time to time... or he and Rick talk on the phone or something, but that's about it. He's a totally minor character, due to the fact that no one cares about Rick's love life after he gets over Dare. (ahaha what.) All of this will appear in A Life Like This, which is a written story.
Oh, one last thing. There are some not-so-obvious correlations between Tim and Dare. Why? Well, I don't really know.... To show their differences, despite their similarities. (what?)
- Tim and Dare are both only children living with one adult. However, Tim obviously has a distant relationship with his mom, while Dare is very close to his aunt.
- Tim and Dare both like 90s music! 8D (Ahahe...) However, Tim perfers grunge (TEEN ANGSTY ROCK ROCK MUSIC) and Dare likes post-grunge (somewhat more "lighthearted" than grunge, if you will... As wikipedia puts it, "a more commercially acceptable tone"). (This is so random....)
- Tim and Dare both have fairly low self-esteem (WAAAHHH. ;A;), but Dare kinda just ignores it and puts his concerns into other people, while Tim is all like "WHY ME. ;A;A;A;" (sometimes....)
- Tim and Dare both practice abstinence (Well, Tim does now...). However, Dare practices abstinence mostly out of naivety (what?), while Tim is out of fear (what what?)
AND SO.
That is all.
AND IT MAKES NO SENSE.
I barely talked about Tim's personality.
It's because I have nothing to say. orz And I'm kind of dead from typing so much. And it's late.
sdlkjfalweruoaiweurja.
And now I will get banned for talking about sex. ;A;
...
I hope not. :I

AAAAAaaaaggghhh.
Loyal, I don't get you at all. But I'll try.
Loyal Ionel is the drummer for the band Something Impossible. She graduated from the same school that Dare goes to. Also, Michka and Zack also graduated from that same school. Woah.
Anyways, Loyal is an orphan. She was given to an orphanage home (I guess?) as an infant (probably very soon after she was born), and was never adopted (for unknown reasons... orz).
Loyal never knew her parents, and doesn't even know her last name. (;A;) The name Loyal was probably given to her by the orphanage people. BUT WHO REALLY KNOWS, HM?
However, Loyal gave herself the last name Ionel. She probably read it in a magazine or book or something.
IDK.
Up until she was 14, Loyal lived in the orphanage home. She went to school. Yay.
When she entered high school, she ran away from the orphanage and lived on the streets by herself temporarily.
(YEAH, I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE WASN'T KILLED AND STUFF OKAY, THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. D:)
Later that year (I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG, KAY? D:), Loyal met and befriended Michka, who was a junior at the time. Michka let Loyal live at her house, because she thought Loyal shouldn't be homeless. Or something like that.
Oh yeah, and Loyal also met Zack around this time, and it wasn't long before Something Impossible was created.
I don't know how Loyal learned to play the drums.... she probably joined the band at school or something. Or she taught herself. IT IS IRRELEVENT.
By the way, currently in the comic, Michka has her own house because she moved out when she graduated. The house probably was given to her by her grandparents, somehow. (???)
(It's a smallish house by the way.)
Anyways, about Loyal's personality... Well, she's a weird one. She'll often bring up irrelevent topics into a conversation. She likes teasing Dare because he acts so dramatically. Also, she has this strange fasination that Dare and Rick are destined to be together. (WHICH THEY ARE NOT LSDKHJROASHDT) (LOYAL, WHY ARE YOU A DARExRICK FAN, GET OUT OF HERE YOU LOSERFACE YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN LOVE WITH DARE AAAGH)
Loyal is kind of clumsy... I said earlier that she sometimes drops her drumsticks when she's playing the drums. :I She also isn't very good at paying attention to her surroundings, so it's a wonder she survived living on the streets.
Oh yeah, she's also horrible at cooking. xD At some point in the comic, Dare teaches her how to make pancakes, and it's basically the only thing she can make.
Uh, what else... Oh yeah. Since she doesn't have any parents, she's a little independent. Also because she doesn't have parents, she's childish. When she insults people, it's usually in a somewhat kiddish manner.
Loyal also likes to shop in the "kids" section of clothing stores. 8D She says she can "sometimes fit into a size 14"...
YEAH IDK...
Uhhh....
oH.
Loyal also likes to dress like a weirdo sometimes. Like. In the most weird outfits.
She claims she's making a fashion statement...
AND THAT'S ALL BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE TALKING ABOUT LOYAL ANYMOPRE ADSJRHAOSIT.
I decided to join the fun, and made a theOtaku header! :D
AND OF COURSE, I USED AN OC AND DREW DARE BECAUSE I CAN'T NOT DRAW HIM....
Sorry for drawing him so much. You're probably sick of him by now. xD
Anyways, yeah.
Check out my mad Japanese skills, yo. xD
The banner looked empty, so I decided to write "Otaku" in Japanese. YAY.
Yeah. ....
:D
OH MAN I TOTALLY FORGOT HIS NOSE RING ASDFJALSDFJ
Since I did one for Michka, I figured I'd do one for Zack...

Style of Speech: Usually carefree
Personality: Fun-loving, friendly, carefree, a little thick headed (xD;;), yeah.
ZACK IS THE SINGER FOR THE BAND, SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE. (Why the caps? xD) He's probably the least thought-out of the SI band members. :< Mostly because he has no siblings and his parents aren't really relevant to the story... so that doesn't leave me with a lot of room to come up with stuff... :D; But I'll give you what I've got. :D;;; Most of it is just character personality stuff...
Zack is a carefree and friendly guy who's easy to talk to. Sometimes he acts on whim. :I Sometimes he has ideas that pop into his head, and he decides to go through with them. (Like performing an unrehearsed song at a live concert or something.) He has a lot of faith in the band, and thinks Something Impossible is the coolest thing EVAR. (???)
Zack has a singy-songy (?) moderately deep-toned singing voice. (what. xD) By singy-songy, I mean the opposite of most punk/alternative rock singers, who sing kind of nasily or squeaky. (I'm not insulting them, that's just the best way I can describe it. xD;) And by deep-toned, I mean deeper than a lot of male singers who are popular nowadays, like Train, Justin Bieber (what), the guy who sings that Collide song, etc, but not as deep as the guy who sings for Dire Straits. :D (no one knows who that is. orz)
It's like a combinatin of Bono's voice and Zac Efron's voice. 8D (how? xD)
While I'm on the topic of his singing voice, one of Zack's favorite hobbies is singing. :D Which is good, because he's a singer. He sings ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I mean it. He'll be walking down the street and singing do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, cooking and singing, driving and singing, playing football and singing....
Well okay, just kidding about that last one. But he sings a lot. xD
He doesn't ususally sing alone, though. Usually the band joins in with him while he sings randomly. :D YAY.
Zack also really enjoys performing onstage. :d It's one of his favorite things to do, and he's pretty skilled at putting on a good show. :D He just likes to get up there and have fun. :>
He also talks to the croud a lot during performances. xD; IDK, OKAY?
...I should talk about his past and highschool now. :D
Zack moved to Boston, Massachusetts from Danville, Kentucky in 9th grade. (Not the Danville Phineas and Ferb live in. xD) Danville is more rurual than Boston. Zack acquired a slight country accent and a taste for country-rock music (actually, that's just 'cause his parents listened to country-rock) from living in Danville. He also played outside a lot. (Irrelevant. xD) He was excited to get out of Danville and move to the city, though. :U
When Zack moved to Boston, he wasn't entirely popular, partially because he seemed like a country bumpkin (orz) and people didn't really want to talk to him. Because high schoolers are just mean like that. (jk) It was weird for Zack to not have many people talk to him because he was popular at his old school. (But that's just 'cause his school was so small that he knew everyone. xD;)
SO... ZACK WAS ON A MISSION... TO BECOME ONE OF THE MORE POPULAR KIDS IN SCHOOL AND NOT A HIGHSCHOOL LOSER.
He learned to cover up his accent and joined the football team in 10th grade. He (strategically) befriended the popular kids and became a prep OH MAN. By 12th grade, he was POP-YEW-LAR.
In 12th grade, he started going out with 10th grader Michka. (Why? xD;) And because they were dating, he was pulled into the band idea Michka and her sister Laetitia had. xD Zack became one of the singers in the band, and high school friends Lucia, Ace, and Pustillio were recruited into the band. The band became known as the Fire breathin grandpaZ, and was managed by an old man who called himself Mistubishi. (Mitsubishi's an acquaintance of Ace's, which is how he was pulled into the band.)
Zack wasn't really crazy about the band thing, but he didn't mind singing. Later that year, he recieved a letter from a college saying he had been accepted into some college and could recieve a full scholarship for football or something. (I don't really know how it works... xD;)
He planned on leaving the band and breaking up with Michka because he'd be going to college out of Boston, but Michka found out about the scholarship first, and broke up with him. (There's more to the story than just that, but it'd be too long to write out. xD;)
Zack and Michka left the Fire breathin grandpaZ, and Zack didn't take the scholarship because he didn't want to be without Michka. Later Zacka nd Michka made up (sort of, Michka's still mad at him) and formed Something Impossible. Zack graduated that year, and Michka recruited Loyal the next year.
What the heck. He was like some sort of Troy Bulton, singing and playing sports. ._.
Zack's grown up some from his high school self. He's not as self concious about being popular or getting other people's approval. He still is a little, but not nearly as much. He also used to party and drink in high school because it was "cool", but he doesn't really anymore. (Well, he's of drinking age now, so he has a beer every so often...)
Um....
Yeah.
Zack enjoys picking on Dare because Dare acts to the extreme about everything. :d So it's fun for Zack.
I mentioned earlier that two of his nicknames are "Zack with the Six Pack" and "Secret Z"... Well, he gets "Zack with the Six Pack" from Dare. A couple times, Zack calls Dare "Dare with the Hair". Dare tries to think of something smart to say in return, but is at a loss because the only thing he can think of at the time that rhymes with Zack is "attack". Later, when Something Impossible goes to the beach (California), Dare says to Zack "Hey dude, you have a six pack." and epiphany occurs and decided Zack's nickname is Zack with the Six Pack. :D (SUCH A LONG EXPLINATION.)
The nickname "Secret Z" is one given to Zack by himself. One day (Halloween maybe?) he decides to dress up as a super hero and calls himself Secret Z.
...
Woah. This came out a lot longer than I thought it would. :U I surprisingly have more to say, but I'll save that for another time...
That's all. THANKS FOR READING, AS ALWAYS!
I figured I'd do one of these for Michka...

Hm.
The girl with the eye-patch for no apparent reason.
I don't know where to start with her. xD;;
Michka is the guitarist for the band Something Impossible. She loves to shop for fancy and gaudy things, but mixes them up in a way to give them her own style.
Sometimes she dresses in sweet-looking clothing, but then she's all like, "BNENENNELENELENELLENENNERRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!" on her guitar at concerts (yes, that was my version of a guitar sound effect), and she's all like, "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH ROCK ON LOSERS" (what a terrible statement...) and stuff. Sometimes...? xD The point is, she is not dainty. Except on some occasions.
Um....
She's supposed to be the sexy one of the band, but... I'm not very good at drawing pictures in the catagory of... sexy. So just pretend, okay? xD;
I'm not sure why Michka wears an eyepatch. She thinks it's cool. She thinks it makes her "HARD CORE HRGH." She thinks it's stylish. I don't now. xD;
In highschool, Michka and Zack were dating. Michka was a sophmore and Zack was a senior. Zack was also a jock; he played football. xDDDD; YES. WEIRD, I KNOW. He also had normal hair in high school.
BUT ANYWAYS, THIS ISN'T ABOUT ZACK.
Michka and Zack were in a band with Laetitia (Michka's twin sister), Lucia (highschool friend), Ace (highschool friend), Pustillio (highschool friend) (I don't know if that's his real name. xD), and an old man called Mitsubishi as their manager. The band was called the Fire breathin grandpaZ (haha. xD).
Michka broke up with Zack when he left the band. Zack left the band because he got a college scholarship for football. He was also planning on leaving Michka because of the scholarship.
Michka also dropped out of the band because she didn't feel like being in the band without Zack. (She wasn't really close with any of the other band members, including her sister.)
Later, Zack realized he didn't want to be without Michka, and didn't take the scholarship. Instead, he made up with Michka (sort of, she still holds a grudge against him, which is why they're not dating or anything), and they started their own band called Something Impossible.
Zack graduated the next year, and Michka was a junior. In one of her classes, Michka met Loyal and let her join the band. They didn't have a bass player until Dare came along, about 3 or 4 years after Michka graduated. (!!) Even before Dare came along, they were writing songs and performing in the highschool's Battle of the Bands event. (Zack played bass at the highschool stuff, but he wasn't very good. xD;)
On a side note, the Fire breathin grandpaZ were playing at a restaurant somewhere a few years after Michka and Zack left the band, when a record company scout (also known as an Artist and Repertoire manager) found the band and were signed to a record label. :0
Later in the comic, Something Impossible briefly tours with the Fire breathin grandpaZ. :D Michka and Zack were replaced by a guy named Danny, by the way.
Michka is NOT NOT NOT on good terms with her twin sister, Laetitia. They have an extreme rivalry. It's totally cliche, but Laetitia was born a little bit earlier than Michka, and is better at everything than Michka. Michka's really annoyed about that, because Laetitia gets more attention than Michka. Even when the two of them were younger, their parents gave Laetitia all the attention.
Michka is extremely hard headed and plays by her own rules. :d She doesn't listen to people, haha. xD; She's also a pretty independend woman, and can stand up for herself. She's also a very skilled electric and acoustic guitarist. :d
Michka's name comes from the Russian word for mouse (mysh). Which is ironic, because Michka is definitely not a mouse. xD;
On a side note, I pronounce Michka's name as "Meesh-kuh", but I think the proper pronunciation is "Mish-kuh" wih a short "i" sound. The "ch" in her name is pronounced as "sh". :D
Uh.... I could probably say more about her, but I'll stop here for now. :I
