Hey, I'm in love,
My fingers keep on clicking to the beating of my heart.
Hey, I can't stop my feet,
Ebony and ivory and dancing in the street.
Hey, it's because of you,
The world is in a crazy, hazy hue.
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
Man, you got me burning,
I'm the moment between the striking and the fire.
Hey, read my lips,
Cause all they say is kiss, kiss, kiss.
No, it'll never stop,
My hands are in the air, yes I'm in love.
My heart is beating like a jungle drum

Name: Dhvani (Sanskrit, according to Mistalina13 it means "sound, tune; thunder") Eyes: Red Hair: Red, long, fluffy, reaching down to his hips. Very much like the "Oni's mane" from the Gaia donation items or the lion wig used in kabuki performances. <3 Usually worn open, but just as often tied to a ponytail or put up in a messy bun, (ab)using drum sticks as hairsticks. Skin: Dunno? Up to Ivy, I guess, though I'd love for him to end up tattooed. And pierced. Zedre saiz he definitely requires piercings. XDDD Clothing: Loincloth is sufficient, he says, even if it's only to appease the prude ones out there. Torn bluejeans, leather, manskirts, kilts.. Anything is fine, really, but it'll likely always looked sort of ragged, and used. XD But it always has a belt to store drumsticks in. 3nodding Other: Has a pair small horns, two or three pairs of arms (ya, have a liking for Hindu deities as well) because it's just more practical to deal with several instruments (drums) at once. <3 May have a tail. Title: The Rhythm Divine Realm of influence: Male deity of Music (brother to Echo or maybe not) Ramblings about his Domain: While Echo seems to be all about Melody, Harmony, representing Song, Hymns, Ballads and Classic Music, he'd be all about what's driven by Rhythm, Percussion. Rock, Techno, Metal, Industrial ... But also the drums beat for 'primitive' rituals, the cheerful clackityclack of castanets, the rhythmic stomping of feet, the chiming of cymbals and dancing bells, the marching drums calling to battle. The beat of the heart, the pulse of life. Ramblings about his Character: He'd be quite the opposite to Echo. Hotheaded, where she is calm, impulsive, impatient. A little stupid maybe, at least acting that way, most of the time. Never standing still, always on the move. A L'Enfant terrible, a womanizer, with a love for intoxicating drinks. Never caring much about what's proper, or manners (so very unlike a certain someone we all know.. XD), possessing a great deal of 'appreciation' for the female form (Boobies!), and generally full of mischief. To sum it up: Sex, Drugs & Rock n'Roll, we has it. XDDD He's the one who would shamelessly grope Kishara's butt, or try to sneak up to Harmodius with a pair of clash cymbals hidden behind his back as He is busy Creating. I'm pretty sure he'd have driven Echo close to the brink of madness often enough, but at the same time he'd be very protective of her. I definitely picture him as being the older one of the two, more primal, as Rhythm would have likely come before Song and Lyrics. He'd very much be in love with the modern developments in music, and also dance styles - probably be a big fan of breakdance, jumpstyle and the like. =3 Dhvani tells me he didn't "fade", like most of the gods, but rather went out with a BANG, possibly by doing something utterly stupid, or heroic. Possibly both. Inspiration: His sacred beast. OuO Animal from the Muppet Show: Moar Animal. And Animal again. XDDD And again. I swear, he really is Dhvani incarnate. XD STOMP, a percussion performance group which creates their rhythms with everything, from basketballs, to trash bins, to kitchen appliances. Note: You do not want a Dhvani let loose in your kitchen. You really do not. STOMP in the airTrash binsBasketballs and KitchenJapanese drumming performances: Wadaiko Yamato: Drummers of JapanTaiko MedleyDhvani's Very Erratic Playlist:

  Name: Charles Anselm
Race: Just a normal human
Age: Early 20ies
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Light brown, almost blond, short, messy, tends to stick out in all directions
Skin: Caucasian, very light. Burns easily to a crispy red in the sun. X3
Height: Shorter than most
Weight: Average for his height =p
Attire: He likes comfy and practical clothes. Usually you'll see him walk around in sturdy boots, a mechanic's overall, some warm sweater, a leather flight jacket and his beloved pair of pilot goggles.
Personality: Good natured, tends to be rather innocent and naive, tends to think the best of every person he meets until he's proved wrong. Very patient, and hopelessly romantic too.
Background: He's kept himself fed with odd jobs before the Age of Destruction, anything from pizza delivery (hey, maybe he was the boy who brought Illumin his Chinese food? XD) to repairing old radios. He's always been a bit of a tinkerer, and he owns a bright blue, battered old Vespa. He likes music, very, very much so. Jazz tunes, blues, classic rock.. He doesn't quite know how it came to happen, maybe it was because he got fed up with the governments lies and attempts to cover up all those catastrophes which were suddenly happening, but for about half a year now he's been running his own little pirate station, broadcasting music, whatever news he could find, and generally trying to connect people and give them hope, to let them know they are not alone.
...
Did I mention that he's hopelessly romantic? X3
Likes: Music. Echo. Tinkering and doing repairs. Planning and putting together his radio broadcasts. Echo. Receiving messages from those who actually listen to those broadcasts. Meeting and connecting people. Echo. Musicals. Riding his Vespa. Also, Echo? X3
Dislikes: Disinformation and government cover ups.
Location: He lives not too far away from Echo and the record shop she frequents. He's made his home up in an attic, resembling a thieves' den rather than an apartment. A large part is taken up by his makeshift broadcast station and his workshop, tools and mechanical appliances in all states of (dis)repair are scattered everywhere. Charles seems to have fondness for old movies and musicals for at the walls of his domicile you will find many posters of so-called 'classics'.Dhvani says he would instead like a hot chick with big boobs, kthx.

Radio Ga Ga
Queen
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio
Radio.
You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds - invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh - you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly.
So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio waht's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
We watch the shows - we watch the stars
On videos for hour and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years.
Let's hope you never leave old friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio.
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is Radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio waht's new?
Radio, someone still loves you!
Hello Hello (Turn Your Radio On)
Shakespeare's Sisters
woke up this morning and the streets were full of cars
all bright and shiny like they'd just arrived from mars
and as i stumbled through last nights drunken debris
the paperboy screamed out the headlines in the street
another war and now the pound is looking weak
and tell me have you read about the latest freak?
we're bingo numbers and our names are obsolete
why do i feel bitter when i should be feeling sweet
hello, hello turn your radio on
is there anybody out there?
help me sing my song
la la la life is a strange thing
just when you think you learned how to use it
it's gone
woke up this morning and my head was in a daze
a brave new world has dawned upon the human race
where words are meaning less and everything's surreal
gonna have to reach my friends to find out how i feel
and if i taste the honey is it really sweet
and do i eat it with my hands or with my feet?
does anybody really listen when i speak
or will i have to say it all again next week
hello, hello turn your radio on
is there anybody out there?
help me sing my song
hello, hello turn your radio on
is there anybody out there?
tell me what went wrong
la la la life is a strange thing
life is a strange thing
hello, hello turn your radio on
is there anybody out there?
help me sing my song
la la la life is a strange thing
just when you think you learned how to use it
it's gone.

Yep, they are awesome, even though I've only seen them on TV. crying
Teeheeh, I think of the three concepts Dhvani is definitely the one most favored by others.
Dhvani: * blaugh blaugh blaugh blaugh @ Mammon and Chrys* n____nV
Wouldn't know why anyone would want him around, after all he's LOUD, and stupid, and irresponsible and.. oh. Funny too, yes. rolleyes
