In everything a band does, the most odd is always the set up. Each and every piece of the machine goes off and does whatever feels right to them, both calming their nerves and doing everything within their power to make sure nothing blows out or breaks. Russel was no different. He sat on the edge of the stage, eyes closed and ears focused into his headphones that were plugged into his electric violin. To anyone listening in all they heard was the muted sounds of his playing, but what he heard was nothing short of of ear catching. A mix of classical sheet music played with a couple filters, giving it more of that guitar solo pulse then a opera house tear jerkier.
With his fingers all warmed up he put his headphones back into the violin case and took his peddle from his back pack. Any on lookers would find it weird how complicated a simple instrument like the violin could become, but Russ knew what he was doing. The peddle allowed him to match the tone of the song better, and combined with the violin itself it could make a sound he would otherwise need a whole computer for.
With that he was ready and rearing to go, and started playing some nursery rhymes to liven up the mood, the volume loud enough to be heard but soft enough not to disturb his fellow band members.
"Depends on the room I say. But we want to leave an impression right, otherwise why did we tail it all the way out here," he said answering James' question while making his way center stage. "How much extra time do we have or did we pack it full?"

I believe the band is Out of Thin Air, or at least that is what it says in Drake's CS.
Name: Russell Frett
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Appearance: Few people would consider Russ average in many regards. Standing just over five feet tall and just under 130 lbs has giving him more then enough attention his whole childhood. A regular work out routine however has left him with a body that most would like to have. Wide broad shoulders and a thick chest have left him stronger then most people a foot taller then him. There is nary a hair on his cleanly shaven face, but his light brown hair at any time measures just off his shoulders, tied up more often then not. Most people don't really consider him hansom, though he has been called cute more often then not due to his height.
Position in Band: Violinist
Instrument:
Favorite Bands: Dave Mathews Band, The Corrs, The Airborne Toxic Event, Mark Wood
Hobbies/Skills: Practicing the Violin, working out, Judo, Tai Chi, studying philosophy
Job: Hospital Orderly and Local Bookstore Clerk
Bio: Being the middle child of three boys meant that Russell had to deal with various push and pulls of life, and for the longest time he never had the spotlight. His father is a retired veteran and his mother a social worker. He is especially close to his mother, who always encouraged him to find something he liked to do, and one day when they all went to a Dave Mathews Band concert, he found it. Boyd Tinsley's violin spoke to him, and it was then that he knew he needed to learn how to play.
Playing the violin seemed to come naturally to him, and inside of two years he was playing classical pieces such as Ysaye Sonata No. 8 and Monti Csardas. After a while this became less exiting to him and he started trying to perform a wide range of modern genres, adapting songs that had no violin at all. He took to performing in his local town at various clubs and community centers, where eventually he caught the eyes of his current band whom he click with right away.
Personality: Many consider him the voice of reason, the man with the inflammable temper who carries a level head in any situation. His most inspiring figure in his life is his mom, who taught him that if you get upset over something, then you are doing it wrong and should try again. Others know him as the hard worker with the one track mind, always needing to finish what he is working on before he can move on. He is always willing to lend an ear and a hand, when he is available to do so.

Guess I missed this train. I'll be watching though. Shout me out if you need a replacement or an expendable.
I think everything turns on when this is taking place. If it is current, then the war is a big issue. If its back at Storm Front, there is more wiggle room.
As far as villains go, the dresdenverse has so many groups, both good and evil, that I have lost count. But if it is the ThreeEyes we are talking about, the White Council, depending on the war, might not have the man power to deal with a single drug cartel.
The Blackened Denarius would be interested because if they dump a massive load in the city's water supply, well that is enough panic for them to feed off of.
We already mentioned that the draw for the Fae would be significant. Lets face it, what easier prey is there then someone who has no idea what is going on and the first thing you see is someone like Maeve.
I doubt the vampires want anything to do with it. I'm not sure how giving the sight to normal humans will help them with any of their agendas. But lets face it, Mavra is crazy.
The two others that might have stock in this are the Outsiders because yea, and the Dragons because they are the single most under used faction in the Dresden Files.
Having said all that, come on, there is no real good guy in the series, save for the Knights of the Cross. The White Council oversees all magic in the world but even they can't make a "good" decision without twisting it inside out.
The Drug though, that is an iffy thing. The drug does wear off, and it was the product of Nemesis playing with Victor Sells. So if the Council gets involved, chances are if a character takes it again after they have been warned not to, they are dead walking. So here is what I think, rather then having them take it again, just say that they have taken it a few times before anyone catches wind, but now these few are showing many of the characteristics of a Ley Line, turning them into founts of energy that anyone can tap into.
Lastly, I can see my self playing a junior member of The Wardens, or if the Blackened Denarius are involved I can play a member of the church.

I'd be willing to join and help with this. I've read up through Turn Coat, just haven't had time to read Changes. (Which I understand to be a big book in the series.)
Also, if it would help, there is a Dresden table top rpg that might be a good place to look for some ideas.

It'll be up soon! Sorry!
Its all good man.
Good set up. I wanted to bounce a character idea off of you. Rather then a fighter like character, i have an idea for a support caster like character. Basically he would bend the world around him by altering the code/data as well as altering the code/data of allies and enemies. So he could, at late game, make walls, cause fire hydrants to erupt, open holes in the ground, so on and so forth. As a motivation he wants to better understand the viruses before they destroy them so he can be more effective and the world would learn more about them. Thoughts?
Ok. Schedule might be important. Opening ceremony to graduation/end of the year ceremony kinda thing. If you get enough people there will probably be a rival or two and events and contests will be fun. Currently working on a staff member btw. Grounds Keeper.
