The idea behind the character


For those of you who have Rped with me before, you know that the name 'Deon Selco' is common place for my characters. But, personality is not. This version of Deon Is one that jumped into my mind one afternoon as I listened to the radio. I wondered what it would be like to play a hard on his luck up and coming rock star wannabe with a few problems...

And well, how the gods would punish him for his selective vices and ways once he entered the world of the changed.

I hope you enjoy the below.

Behind the Musician




Full Name: Deon Aimone Selco

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual (Straight, Likes the ladies)

Age: 27

:Heritage 3rd generation American from an Italian and Greek background.

Height: 5'9

Weight: 172

Build: Slim

Eye Color: Deep Brown

Hair Color: Light Brown

Appearance:
Although a man of few talents, he has been gifted in a few departments that assist in his chosen profession, and his looks are a great asset. His face is uniform, as well nearly symmetrical with no real blemishes visible on his face, not even the rouge freckle. There is one small, slight problum that only he notices, and that is that his left eye is ever so slightlly smaller then the other. Of course, no one has ever mentioned it, but it is enough to cause him to wear sunglasses quite often. And although he has accumulated a few wrinkles, mainly the result from years of smoking, but his modest tan and just a touch of makeup help hide the scars of aging, at least on stage. His checks are thin, and not a very prominent feature on his face. His lips follow a similar story, thin and pale too, oddly standing out against his tanned skin. His nose also helps give to his generic, and somewhat pretty boy appearance, a standard roman style, slightlly small and not a true feature that stands out against his face. And as far as his ears are concerned, there covered by his hair, which is worn long, loose and comes down past his cheeks to the top of his neck. Generally he brushes it past his eyes so he can see the world without it being covered by his hair. Luckily he has the right kind of hair for head banging, which flows with every bob of his head...

Hopefully, he’ll never get a bad haircut.

As far as cloths are concerned, most consider him to dress in a grunge style, not at all opting for cloths that just take too long to fool with and cost too much to buy. Mostly the man spots simple one colored T shirts along with black or blue jeans. It’s a simple and well used look that works. Though, if it gets chilly he does happen to have a brown leather jacket. After all they say that sort of thing never goes out of style...then again it may need to be darker and sport a few spikes to actually never go out of what some consider style. And as far as shoes are concerned...

Well who the hell cares about shoes? It’s not like he spends hundreds of dollars on them, just cheap skater knock off brands that are comfortable. After all, who would look at his feet when he has a face like this?

Generally the man spots a pair of sunglasses, silver framed and grey smoky lenses to help com bat the bright sun, which irritates his eyes ever so slightly. That and of course he wants to hide his one problum on his face. Vanity can be so annoying, cant it? But as far as accessories go, that’s it. No piercings, no necklaces, no fancy belts. Just a basic look that’s easy to deal with.

Personality:
A man of many faces, Deon's personality seems to change at the slightest blow of the wind, yet each one is filled with personality and pas ion, never some weak little emotion. Generally on the surface the man seems to be care free and laid back. This of course is true in many aspects; after all he did drop out of school simply because it required too much effort in areas that he simply didn’t enjoy. Obviously, he speaks his mind at times, no matter how painful his mind can make the perceivable truth seem. Of course, this has at times gotten him into trouble, as well as fights and many consider him a hot head when his lazy attitude dissipates. Yet he doesn’t generally get into fights or trouble for friends, you could say the man is beyond selfish.

Even as a child Deon was not the type who would share, often hoarding whatever he liked to himself. To make matters worse his mindset on the matter of others can be described as unhealthy. You see, he looks out for number one, often tossing various people aside for gain. His survival instinct is also above average, and he often protects himself, and only himself, so others, pushes puts it "Can go to hell when s**t goes down."

But the selfish nature also leads to a personal overindulgence on vices. A chronic smoker, often smoking two packs a day, Deon is sure to always have one full pack with him, along with two lighters, in case one breaks of course. Also, some call him an alcoholic, often enjoying drowning himself in a soft spot for whisky and gin. Yet there is one vice he loves above all others, and that is of course sex. Many know him as a womanizer, using his talents and looks to get any girl in bed, simply for sex before tossing them away like a used up tissue. He has never felt bad about these actions, only hungry for more pleasure if someone stops satisfying him. All in all folks, he is not the guy you want to bring home to meet mommy and daddy.

The man seems to have a sharp mind in some aspects though, and has been credited with a silver tongue as well as an amazing singing voice. After all the man writes as well as sings his own music for a band that was picked up by a major record label. Yet his talents are not confined to the microphone, often he has manipulated many for his own personal gain using words alone. All in all, he would probably be a great diplomat.

On a whole, Deon is the type of person that only cares about himself, and will walk over anyone to make his situation better.


Personal History:
Although Born in New York, Deon didn’t have the luck to be born in the city; instead he was born in a rather small town south of the Iconic city, near the Pennsylvania/New York state line. He was the only child of a very small working middle class family. His father was a mechanical drafter who often was away on business while his mother taught a music class at the local elementary school. He had no pets, and to this day still does not get along well with animals, and at heart, despising the creatures.

Deon made many friends as a child; he lost nearly all of them through various actions for his own betterment. This tradition of using people grew as he became older. Yet, he managed to obtain decent grades, ranging in the C to B range. He showed no exceptional abilities in any class save for one, which his mother happened to teach.

Because his father was often away, the young Selco felt very close to his mother, and often tried to impress her. At a young age his mother coddled Deon's singing abilities which only grew with time. He even participated in many school musical plays, often obtaining prestigious roles. As he grew, many people realized that this talent of his was something special, and quite a few times he was called a prodigy by various people in the community. Yet, his childhood ended too early due to a tragedy.

In his final year of Elementary school his mother passed away from a stroke brought on by a blood clot. Heartbroken from this, Deon blamed his father for his mother's death, becoming even more distant to the only family he had left. To make matters worse, the boy’s grades seemed to suffer until he finally decided to drop out at high school during his junior year at the age of sixteen. After all, what was the point? Yet, because of this his father disowned Deon and sent him out on the street's to fend for himself. So the teen did all he knew how, sing.

After spending a few months doing local karaoke contests at local bars, Deon was picked up by a small local band and managed to give them something to make them stand out, his voice. Soon they were making a decent living, performing the songs Deon wrote and sang. Soon Deon discovered Alcohol and cigarettes, two things that seemed to help him with his many regrets of his life. Not only that, he realized that the other gender seemed to throw themselves at him now, and sex became the third and final vice of his life.

The band, dubbed 'The Conglomeration. Became a local sensation, playing throughout the region, gaining a small cult like following in the process. Considered an indie or alternative, or even at times folk band, Deon's voice managed to make the sound com e completely together. And although it took over ten years, the band did finally make it big in the musical world. Of course, Deon wouldn’t be around to sign the band into history, because if an incident that would end his days on this world, and eventually his days as a human.

The Pukka: It was an odd night, and a wild one. After all Deon was preforming the last show the conglomeration would play before they went big, and oddly enough his last show with them forever. Upon finishing the encore for the crowd something odd was thrown at his feet. It was an intricate cigarette lighter, which simply used a piece of flint to make a rather large spark. It was an intricate heavy object, made of silver, with various designs of strange creatures on it, each one with rare gem's for eyes. It was a work of art in its own, and quickly became Deon's main lighter. After all...why let such a beautiful thing go to waste, epically if its something that is life changing.

Element Explanation:
Chaos: Deep self centered and selfish attitude lead to this
Fire: passionate in his emotions and work he enjoys lead to the element of fire.
Wind: fickle and ever changing emotions, as well as friends and perhaps mindset lead to the wind cast.

Of course, these may change with time...

----------
Fin, for now.

A Fateful Evening


-Self RP

There was a soft yet stark simple beat of two drumsticks beating against the rim of the drum kit in unison, setting forth a simple beat. Then slowlly a lonely deep acoustic guitar started to play its sad tune. The stage, as well as the bar was dim. Slowly, as the final encour started, the intro dragging on longer then the traditional song, lighters went up, as well as cellphones. This wasn't a song the band had created, but goddammit if it didn't fit somehow.

Slowly, the lead singer, now lazily sitting on the floor of the stage started to smile. His left leg was out completely on the ground, his right arched upwards, his elbow resting on the arched knee, cigarette in hand. The young man's light brown hair had an odd sheen in the dark room, almost reflecting the lighters back. There was a tired smile on his face as the music continued to play. It was fitting that this would be their fourth and final enc our for the night, after all it was almost a self reflection on his part. Not that he would admit it of course.

Deon then rose to his feet, and slowly took a few steps to the microphone, resting on the stand. One last time he looked out over the crowed in silence. It was their last show before they were going to go big...almost all of the females in the crowd he knew on a deep level.

They were only going to get prettier from here on in.

The song began.

After that thought, the man started to sing, the simple guitar and drums backing him up.

"Goddamn this dusty room...This Hazy Afternoon..." His voice was airy, yet the hint of cigarettes was already adding a slightlly gruff quality to it. Yet...he sung almost in a whisper. In a hushed tone as if everything that had to be said, had been said.

"I'm breathing in the Silence like never before. This feeling that I get...This one last cigarette," Quickly he took one last drag, squeezed the end of the cigarette, killing the flame, and then flicked it into the crowd

That was Ebay money there, after all there was a squeal from the female part of the audience. Deon continued once the guitar came back around to him.
"As I lay awake and wait for you to come through that door..."His voice became higher, louder, more emotional. "Oh Maybe, Maybe, Maybe, I can share it with You. I behave, I behave, I behave so I can share it with you." Each word was loud, yet stark, not dragging on. There was no point.

Then the final member of the band emerged, taking his own acoustic, higher pitched of course, and joined in for a chorus. The drums fell silent.

His voice got louder. "You are not alone dear loneliness, you forgot but I remember this! So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened i know. I'm not alone dear loneliness, i forgot that i remember this. So stranger, stranger, stranger things have happened i know." He didn't add on, no not like in the original song. There was no need to milk the words, that just wasn't his style. Yet...it was funny...he may have been lonely, but almost every night it faded for a few blissful moments. Then again, that was his life.

He broke back into the main part of the song, the acoustic now chiming in as he sung, it was such a beautiful yet sad tune.

"You'll dream about somewhere, And a smoke will fill the air...
As i lay awake and wait for you to walk out that door."

Again his voice became high, him now almost screaming this part in his beautiful voice. If only he knew how much he was going to change...

"I can change! I can change! I can change! But who you want me to be?" And now it was slightlly softer again, he didn't know why but felt like changing that part slightlly."I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm the same, oh what do you want me to be?"

And the song continued, the chorus coming in and out, variations of the verses being added. Solos coming and going, all to give this crowd, their original fans one last modest goodbye before things would really change for them. Eventually, though the song ended.

The crwod cheerd, and things were thrown on stage., flowers, money...even ciggarttes. People screamed to them, all love, despite what Deon did. And eventully the crowed filled out...leaving the bar. Afterall it was closed. Only a few selected regualrs remained behind, and the group started to clean up the stage, collecting the money to fill their bar tab, and tossing the trash. They were worthless afterall. Yet, as Deon reached down for a particularlly horrorfying bouquet of dasiys and tuipts, he spotted an odd silver object on the ground.

His hand reached out for the object, it seemed to be a lighter, made of pure silver. A grin came to his face as he looked over the object, it was obviously worth allot of money. Yet...it was strange. There seemed to be a variety of strange mythical beasts engraved on the lighter, their eyes various small gemstones. "Huh..." he muttered before quickly pocketing the item. He wouldn't allow them to have it...after all he was the only one to smoke.

After a few drinks Deon was finally ready to go. The instruments were packed up, and everyone was ready to go. "Come on Deon!" Jim said, placing a hand on the man's shoulder and shaking him. "Lets get going, afterall Im hauling your lazy a** to the airport."

"Alshright thensh..." Deon mutterd in a slightlly offbalanced ton and sloshed tone. "Ild...Ill comey...." He grinned goofilly up at Jim, their drummer upon his words before staggering to his feet. With a grumble Jim took hi sarm and walked Deon out to his van.

"Here ya go buddy..." He muttered, helping him into his seat.

"Thankish!" Deon said gleefully with a stupid smile on his face.

"Don't worry...now come on, we got a few hours of driving to do. Soon, they were on the highway, heading to Laguardia International. And soon, the Alchole took full effect, the singer dozing off.

He was awoken a few hours by a loud crash. "DAMNIT!" Deon shouted, the hangover switching on within seconds of concessness. "WHAT THE HELL JIM?!" He glanced over at the man driving the van, and stared. Jim's eyes were wide, red, and his hands shaky. Yet...he was laughing for some reasion, a small giggle almost.

"ITS A SHORTCUT!" Jim screamed manically "I FIGURED WE COULD GO OFF THE ROADS AND TAKE A STRAIGHT LINE! ITS A GREAT IDEA!" Cocaine...grand...Jim had a small problum, but he said it helped him stay awake. Why hadn't he asked Deon to take the wheel instead of taking a blow?

Yet...they were stopped...what had they hit? Slowly Deon turned his head to view out the windshield, and he didn't have a hangover, Deon would have screamed.

Somehow, the fates were giving them both time, and without thinking Deon opened the Van's Door and dove out. The vehicle had gone off the road, avoided gods know how many trees in Jim's high rampage before coming to rest against a sapling. Yet this small tree was saving the van from careening off the side of a ravine into a gorge below. Damn the Appalachian mountains.

"JIM!" Deon screamed to the man. "TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND GET OU-" His words were cut short by a loud crack, the small tree snapped, and the van continued is journey, taking Jim with it. "..." Speechless, Deon turned, shuddering at the sound of the crash. He needed to get help...not for Jim, no, he was long gone, but for himself.

Yet, he needed to be calm first. With a shaky hand, Deon pulled out that lighter...he would have a drag. Yeah, that was a good plan...then...

Then there was a flash of lights, myriads of tones dancing around his world, blotting out the darkness of the night, the trees...and everything else.

Finally the world went black as the colors faded, and Deon was in a much older forest. Not that he would know the difference anyway.
