Character Summary
Personality ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Katt was a street artist working under the monitor of Muse. She believes in art sending a message, sometimes of faith, sometimes to inspire, sometimes to prove that she's still there. This is part of her inspiration and believes that art has the power to changes the world. When brought in under Honey Lake's labels, Katt applies her artistic talent to promoting the local talent through murals, and art for albums.
Also possessing an eye for the camera, Katt handles many of the press release shots and "behind the scenes" blog entries for the various bands under the label. Some of the previous talent always mentioned Katt was the most empathetic artist they've worked with.
Yet, with Katt being a street artist who previously preferred to remain distant from the world, and let her art speak for her. Show's she herself is not very confident in her own skin, and still occasionally believes she needs to remain in the background. When not working, she's often distant and nervous of those around her.
Appearance ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Height: 5'4 Weight: 115lbs
Physical Description: Katt is a little on the shorter side, often her appearance comes off as a little mousey. In reality, most of it is because she prefers to work on her art versus her own appearance. Her hair is dyed thanks to a henna concoction to hide her blonde hair. Her eyes are a dull green, and she often prefers makeup of unusual colors.
Fashion Style: Katt dresses like a LA artist. T-shirt, jeans, her favorite leather jacket she got from a strange warehouse. Most of them have paint stains, or smudges from various art supplies. She has a few dresses when the boss insists she dresses up for a media event, but she usually does her damndest to avoid them.
Background ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Gonna fight the war, and use my art as a weapon. The battle-cry of the street artist known as Muse. Katt, a recent flunk out of the ULA fine arts department. Not for lack of talent, but lack of a proper message. Her professors expected her to say something about herself through her art. Yet, she preferred a more challenging stance. She wasn't interesting, she wanted to paint to inspire others. So she'd paint Greek deities, with a modern twist. Athena, the librarian of a forgotten bookstore. Aphrodite, forever searching for love. Even her own nickname, Muse, was depicted as a winged woman with inked wings, challenging the world with eyes ablaze.
While her art was uninspired in class, the pieces of street art she'd created caused an uproar. Eventually, pieces of her work found their way into a gallery. Katt was elated to have her persona featured in a gallery. Yet she found nobody really listened to what she was trying to say. She wanted to inspire others.
Eventually, the head of Honey Lake records solved the mystery of who was Muse. He offered her a position, a chance to create for his talent and let her art inspire. She happily accepted, and never looked back.
Miscellaneous ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Her work has been featured in galleries, yet under her moniker of "Muse".
Name: Kurt Moretti Age: 23 Gender: Male Sexuality: Straight, but questionably so.
Personality: Kurt is typically pretty chill. He enjoys the appreciation of the band's fans, but doesn't go out of his way to interact with them. In fact, it's pretty much radio silence on all accounts. His social media hasn't been posted on since it was created, and he never gives any input during interviews. For a guy who make a living performing for the masses, he sure doesn't seem to like the lime light all that much. Luckily, the other band members make up for him.
Kurt is really close to his fellow bandmates. They're just about all he has in the way of friends and family, so they make up a pretty important part of his life. While he doesn't say much, it's clear that he enjoys their company.
Appearance: Kurt embraces the punk rock style that he grew up with, and now represents. He wears a lot of dark colors, red, bright purple, and skeleton themed clothes.
Body-wise, Kurt is very tall and a bit too skinny. He stands at 6'4", which often surprises people when they first meet him in person. He is very lanky, and could probably use a little more protein in his diet. His knobby joints tend to stick out, and his face is sort of gaunt. He is very pale skinned, giving him an overall half-dead appearance, which goes hand in hand with his brand. His eyes are dark blue, almost purple looking. Kurt has a faded scar across his throat. He won't disclose much about other than he got it in a car accident, and that it's the reason he doesn't talk.
Other: Kurt is a functional mute. While he can talk, scaring in his throat and vocal cords make it painful, like a hoarse whisper. He's been this way since childhood. He mostly communicates via sign language, and really only talks out loud when he has to. His voice usually frightens people when they first hear it. The only people who know this about him are those who work closely with him, such as the band and record label staff. The media assumes that his silent act is just a thing he does because he's an angsty punk boi. And well, they aren't wrong.
The internal scarring on his throat also makes it difficult for him to swallow solid food. For the most part, Kurt lives on a diet of smoothies, protein shakes, pudding, and custard-like textures. His poor nutritional intake probably attribute to his thin build.
What Kurt lacks in a voice, he makes up for in musical talent. Kurt can play just about anything with strings, from guitar to piano and everything in between. He has an uncanny ability to play by ear: hearing a song once or twice, picking out the notes, and playing it himself. This talent is what landed him a solid spot in the band, even though he could never be a solo artist due to his lack of vocals.
History: Kurt grew up rather unconventionally. His dad was a very popular punk singer from the eighties. His mother was a groupie. His mother was unfit to raise children, so Kurt's father was saddled with taking care of him. This usually consisted of him being dumped off on stage managers and other groupies. Kurt actually saw very little of his father. He was, instead, raised by punkrockers who really had no business being anywhere near a child.
In his younger years, Kurt was introduced to drugs and alcohol, which he dabbled with to evade the reality of being a rock star's forgotten child. He's mostly clean these days for various reasons.
Kurt's father finally began to lose popularity and began to fade into the background of the music world. He bought a large house and settled down for a while, actually hanging around Kurt for a few years. This was around the time of Kurt's injury, and probably had to do with guilt. Whatever it was, it didn't last long. He decided to go and re-kindle his career and took off again, leaving Kurt alone at the house. Occasionally, money would appear in an envelope with no return address, but for the most part, Kurt was on his own.
Growing up alone, with few friends, in a big, empty punk mansion, Kurt began to pick up the assorted instruments laying around and taught himself to play. It seemed that he was a natural. Kurt made a hobby out of going home after school and playing music late into the night. He started up a Youtube channel with some of his dad's old recording equipment and started making a name for himself performing instrumental covers of popular songs. His online fans often questioned why he never spoke in any of his videos, but most figured that it was just his gimmick.
Kurt made some of his own money with Youtube ad revenue, but it wasn't until he was discovered by a talent scout and offered a spot in a professional band that he began making big bucks with his talent. Being a punk boyband, the heartthrob of many Hot Topic goers, wasn't easy for a kid that spent the majority of his life alone. He was once again thrusted into a world of groupies and drugs. Luckily, he seems to have coped by hanging out in the background. His 'quiet guy' image allows him to escape the ravenous pursuit of media and teenage girls for the most part.
