PERSONALITY
Corbie is very protective of his three younger siblings. He cares a lot about them and will do anything to protect them from harm. He knows that they can take care of themselves but he can't help but feel like he should be there for them. He'll do anything for those two. His friends are much the same. He’ll do anything for them.
Corbin is highly organised and responsible. He’s the one that sleeps early in order to get to recording 5 minutes early the next morning. Course, he’s also likely to factor in time to wake up his fellow band mates. He’s the guy that usually thinks of everything and despite his young age, he’s very mature.
Corbin is also quite sentimental. He likes things that mean something and are thoughtful or from the heart. So when it comes to getting presents, he's more likely to get something meaningful and sentimental, rather than just plain useful.
Corbie is a nice guy and everyone who knows him knows this but he still tries to act tough a lot of the time. He likes being independent and being able to stand up for himself and his family and friends.
Cobin’s also full of innocence and he tends to be a little naïve in certain matters. He may seem mature and responsible at first glance but at eighteen he’s still a virgin. He’s barely even dated a girl and definitely not a guy. He hasn’t even kissed a guy even though he wants to more than a girl.
He does prefer guys but when it turns to that sort of attraction and interaction, he goes quiet and shy and retreats back into his shell. He’s a sweet kid though and he always means well and does what he thinks is right but still he’s too shy to ever ask anyone out on a date and even the girl he kissed was on a dare when he was 16. He has no real interest in girls but won’t admit that just yet.
Corbin’s also not very street smart and probably wouldn’t stand much of a stand in surviving if it wasn’t for his logical way of thinking and his forever calm exterior. He’s always the first to keep calm in a bad situation and to talk things out or to find some sort of solution. He’s good at thinking outside the box and being creative but only when he has to.
He can also be a bit of a dreamer. When he’s not busy doing something important, he can usually be found day dreaming while being completely oblivious to his surroundings. Another thing that gets his is music or his bass guitar. Those are great forms of distractions for him and can keep him busy and occupied for hours.

HISTORY
Stephen Baldwin was a geeky computer science student. He was 24 years old had just begun his degree. A year ahead of him was an outrageous 21 year old Journalism major, name Jeanette Riaz who had strong views about almost everything.
It was a rainy afternoon and Stephen was left stuck in the café by the library of their university while Jeanette was already there, book in hand, waiting out the bad weather. With no other seats available, Stephen was left to ask Jeanette if he might sit next to her. With a smile Jeanette kicked out the seat for him and within minutes the two were stuck in a heated debate.
Both had opposing views but by the end of it they were friends. For two years they continued to be friends until one night Jeanette had her 23rd birthday party. The 26 year old Stephen was one of the last people there and deciding she didn’t want to be alone that night, she asked if he would stay.
Weeks later they were dating and did so for 3 years until Stephen asked her to marry him. By the time she was 27 she had a first child, a boy who they named Corbin. A year and nine months later they had a girl, Annalisa, followed by another girl two years after that, Kaitlyn and then a boy, Jamie.
Life for their little family was fairly average with Jeanette being a reporter and often travelling overseas, Stephen was a fixture, doing most of his programming from his office at home. He took care of the kids and did most of the cooking and cleaning while Jeanette spent most of her time being busy with her work.
Even from a young age, Corbin was used to having his mother leave for work a lot and had learned not to rely on her so much. As a result he grew close to his dad. The man spent a lot of time on the computer and although his son didn’t quite enjoy it as much, they had their music. They both enjoy music and for Christmas when Corbin was 8 years old, he got a drum set. It just turned out to not be his instrument. When he was 9 though, his dad took him to a music store and let him pick an instrument he did like.
Corbin was excited and spent twenty full minutes looking at everything and trying everything out before deciding on an electric blue bass guitar. His dad bought it for him that after noon and he spent the rest of the evening on it. After that, Stephen signed his son up for lessons. Stephen himself played the keyboard and this was something they had to bond over. They would play music on weekends after dinner if his dad wasn’t busy. This went on for years and although they don’t spend nearly as much time together, Corbin is still close to his dad.
During his time in high school, he made a few friends who enjoyed music as much as he did. They started off playing for the fun of it but eventually formed a band. A little later on, they added another member to their little group and so far have done incredibly well for themselves even to the point of being invited on this tour.
Corbin had always been in love with music and he’s determined to get his band to the top no matter what. He’s always been focused and with his goal in mind and his band mates at his side, he is certain that they will do well.

OTHER CHARACTERS
THE MAGIC WORD "you're a tragedy” a queen for his majesty" "your kingdom is crumbling"
ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE Jasper was used to the smoke that would surround May-mi. He had never smoked a cigarette in his life so it took just a little bit of time to get used to the smell of it but now he hardly even notices it anymore.
It hadn't been all that long but he had seen her last but he was still extremely happy to see her. He leaned down a little when she hugged him, to hug her back. He loved how AJ and her were both littler than him. It made him feel like a giant which was great for his stompy Godzilla impressions on the tour bus. Maann those were fun to do.
Jasper grinned when a shot of tequila appeared in his hand. Paarrtyy time!, he screamed in his head. He did love his parties, it was a shame AJ didn't like those. It was always just him and his May-mi when they were out partying. It sort of made him feel bad for not trying to include AJ in it but of course, Jasper knew better than that. He knew the kid had some really good reasons for not wanting to party and he respected that.
Besides, the three of them had their time on the bus to spend together at least. Always with the board games. Monopoly was fun until Jasper started loosing, he'd sometimes throw the little game pieces at May-mi when she wasn't looking and then blame AJ for it, or when they played Candyland and someone cheats... Though this was usually Jasper, then everyone would just go crazy and cards would go flying all over the place. Ah, fun times, Jasper thought as he recalled those moments. Come to think of it, they probably weren't all that much fun for AJ considering he usually ended up having to play peace keeper. However, Jasper would always get them pizzas or something to make up for his crazy behavior and it always worked. It was nice knowing that the people he cared about could put up with him.
"Tequillllaaa!!" Jasper shouted before downing the shot and chasing it with a bit of his bourbon and coke. He really didn't need to do it but hey, mixing alcohols gets ya drunker, faster. Twas definitely a time to party after all.
"The same May-mi, lots of the same," he said before finishing the rest of his drink. Jumping up just a bit, he leaned all the way over the bar and looked left and right. He was even sober enough to make sure he didn't knock anything over. He grinned when the nice lady stopped in front of him with her hands on her hips. She had an amused look on her face which was better than an angry one any day!
"A pineapple and malibu please, also a tequila sunrise, 2 squashed frogs and 2 nutty irishmen," he said. He knew his alcohol like the back of his hand. Hell, he probably knew 'em as well as the lyrics to their songs. When he finally got the drinks, he placed a shot of squashed frog and a shot of nutty irish man in front of May-mi before handing her the tequila sunrise.
"For you madame," he said, doing his best impression of some French guy... obviously. With a big grin on his face he took a gulp of his pineapple and malibu before turning back around to face the crowd. He leaned back against the bar and leaned down to May-mi before speaking.
"So what are we watching?" he asked, referring to the fight just up ahead. It was strange that no one had stopped them but hey, punches hadn't been thrown yet so there really was no reason to stop em.
