I'm going with the Fae. Have a nice variety of band members.

Yeah, let's go with Barry the Fae. He's unusually smooth for a man his age, and also a very talented drummer with exactly the jazzy sort of preference that'd make him ideal for a jam band. This is why it's not much of a problem that he hardly ever shows up to rehearse (he often has better things to do with his life, such as drinking, getting stoned or having a great deal of fun with attractive young women) - if he did, it'd be kind of hard to keep the quality down. As it is, the chronically underachieving Fae has no trouble fitting in with his less talented friends, and though his improvisational ability's still a bit on the higher side, this too can be managed with effort.

[Fniff]

So we have our drummer. Never would have pegged a fairy to be called Barry, though. Eh, who am I to judge. Next track: 'Open the Door'.
"You folks haven't heard of me. That's a shame. So I made a little song so you'd know."
The world gets so grey,
No one wants to believe anymore.
But there's something out there. Hey.
I can open the door.

The name's Barry,
Dainty, girlish, gaunt, mysterious, disheveled, they say I am.
I look, they say, just like a fairy.
Don't worry, girls, I'm not gay. But boys, I'm not straight. Goddamn.

They say eyes are windows to the soul,
Quick, lyrical, mesmerizing, laughing, glittering, they say my eyes are.
They can't keep their stories straight, on the whole.
I'll correct them, next time I'm at the bar.

You say, how'd that handsome devil get his drumming hands?
They say, I'm Fae-born, Fae-blooded, adopted, touched with the gift, stole the gift, and other things beside.
So who do you believe, with more stories then grains of sand?
The answer, my friend, is on the rising tide.

Where I come from, a pauper could be a prince or a king could be a dog,
I can take you there, if you promise me something.
If you break it, I'll turn you into a frog.
But if you keep it, I'll take you under my wing.

Now, open the door.
Well, that was the first of our bandmembers to not sound like a cat dying of dysentery! Shame about how he's kinda full of himself, but you know. Now, let's see some Looks and Origins!

Spoiler: Fae Looks (click to show/hide)

Look
Dainty, girlish, gaunt, mysterious, disheveled.

Quick eyes, lyrical eyes, mesmerizing eyes, laughing eyes, glittering eyes.

Origin
Fae-born, Fae-blooded, adopted, touched with the gift, stole the gift.

The last one was originally 'piercing', but it seems like there are a few too many Skins with piercing eyes. Besides, a fairy's eyes probably glitter, right?

[Salsacookies]

Our Fae is mysterious, with mesmerizing eyes. A former human who stole the gift, she now does what she want, and no one even knows her real name.

Our Fae is mysterious, with mesmerizing eyes. A former human who stole the gift, he now does what he want, and no one even knows his real name.

+1. Barry's a guy. Never heard of a girl called Barry.

[Fniff]

Still, the only thing weirder then a fairy named Barry is a girl fairy named Barry.

+1. Barry's a guy. Never heard of a girl called Barry.

No one knows, however, that his real name is actually Barry. He just sort of pretends it isn't.

Still, the only thing weirder then a fairy named Barry is a girl fairy named Barry.

To be honest, him being a dude doesn't stop the band members from hitting on him anyway when they get drunk.

[Fniff]

Alright, so we have a new bandmember: Barry the Fae. Did you know that Barry is an anglicized form of Bairre, an Irish name? It means 'fair of hair'. It turns out, Barry is a good name for a fairy! This track's called: 'Barry's Showing Off'
"Okay, so you're mysterious and interesting and whoooo. What we wanna know, can you play?"
"He can play, confirmed. He's cool cucumber, man."
"Isn't it cool as a cucumber?"
"If you're a loser, yeah."
"You can't just change the meanings of phrases like that, that's--"
Ladies, ladies, you're both pretty.
Now go ahead, sit right down,
What I'll say will make you purr like a kitty.
Let's turn those frowns upside down.
"Christ."
"What, you've done cheesier rhymes."
Let's talk about my Faery Contract,
You make me a promise, we'll glide like a bird,
But if you fuck me, your pain will be so bad it'll be abstract.
If you don't: I'll bring you sights unseen and sounds unheard.

But it's a Constant Bargain,
If I do something for you,
You'll get the hots for me, in your jargon.
But you won't have anything on me, boo.

You'll love me, I'm a beast,
I'm The Wild Hunt,
As a wolf or a cat, I'm beautiful at least.
Maybe then you'll pay me back, you cu--
"Whoa, that won't get on the radio."
"I liked it."

Thanks for interrupting, asshole,
I'm going Beyond the Veil,
To chat with the fairy king using my heart and soul,
I'll see what weakness of yours from him I can swing.

And if that don't work, I'll Lure you in,
Make a promise, you learn a little more,
Break a promise, I'll break you, learn, and win.
In your face, I will slam the door.

Rely on me, I am your Guide.
I can bring you through, into the court,
Don't worry, you'll be safe by my side.
It won't last long, so we'd have to abort.

I'm no prude, I'm Unashamed,
I can give in to your control,
but you'll love me, you'll be tamed,
When I'm bare before you.
"That didn't rhyme."
"I'm sorry, but we're meant to be intentionally terrible."
"Yeah, but not unintentionally, like Radio Zimbabwe! Bam!"
"Geniuses are never recognized in their time."
"I thought it was cool, you guys."
Okay, you know the drill. We choose Moves from the Skin. I think we have the time, and I realize it's kinda a fun part. Here's more Moves!

Spoiler: Fae Moves (click to show/hide)

Faery Contract
If someone breaks a promise or contract made to you,
take a String on them. When spending a String to even
out the score and get justice on a broken promise, add
these options:
 } they fuck up something simple at a crucial moment;
 } add 2 to your roll on an act of vengeance;
 } they suffer 1 harm, whether the cause is obvious or not.

The Constant Bargain
When someone asks you to do something important for
them, and you do it, roll with hot. On a 10 up, they lose
a String on you, and you gain one on them. • On a 7-9,
choose one or the other. • On a miss, you’ve shown that
they can walk all over you, and they take a String on you.

The Wild Hunt
When you draw upon your most feral manner, echoing
the lithe movements of a cat or the voracity of a wolf, add
1 to your roll to excite someone.

Beyond The Veil
When you attempt to commune with the Faery King, gaze
into the abyss. On a 10 up, add this option to the list: find
a hidden String against someone. • On a 7-9, add this
option to the list: the visions are clear, but the Faery King
demands a favor of you.

Lure
Whenever someone makes a promise to you, they mark
experience. Whenever someone breaks a promise to you
and you seek vengeance, mark experience.

Guide
If you spend a String on someone willing, you can bring
them across the veil, into the faery court. The spell
doesn’t last long, though, before you’re both returned to
the mundane world.

Unashamed
You can give someone a String on you to add 3 to your
attempt to excite someone.

Spoiler: Experience, Advancement, and Rolling (click to show/hide)

For the record, here's how rolls work. You roll 2d6. If it's below 7, you fail. If it's 7-9, you get a mixed success and there's some side-effects. On a 10+, it's a complete success.

As time goes on, your character gets better. Every so often, you mark experience. When you get 5 marks, you can get an advancement which from your Skin profile. You can get more Moves from your Skin or others, get involved with Gangs, and improve your stats. The most common way you'll advance is by using Moves that use the two high stats in your Skin.

There's something cool that happens when you upgrade your character five times. In the most basic terms, if this is a television show, it suddenly starts approaching the season finale. It'll be interesting.

[Harry Baldman]

Lyrics don't have to rhyme. They have to have rhythm more than anything.

Barry strikes me as the unashamed type. And when he gets really drunk, he starts to commune with the faerie king. You know, go beyond the veil. Well, that's what he says it is anyway.

[Salsacookies]

Alright, we have the Fae, NEXT!

[Hiddenleafguy]

I say we go with faery contact! That seems cool.

[Salsacookies]

I think we already have that. We just pick two other skills

[Hiddenleafguy]

Hmm, I thought that was one of our choices, if I was not right, lets go beyond the veil! (guide.)

+1.

Apologies for that, the Moves that are emboldened and in italics are already taken.

I'm going with the Fae. Have a nice variety of band members. Also, Romance moves can be known as "Fade to Black". It can stand for anything, but the two players involved can interact with anything, due to fading to black. Alternatively, "Left to the Imagination"

That's a neat idea. Do 'Fade Moves' sound good to you guys?

Lyrics don't have to rhyme. They have to have rhythm more than anything.

oh god, how will i use rhymezone for everything now?

Alright, let's keep this moving. How about our ever-mysterious green-voiced member? What's their deal? Let's find out on the next track, uh... Oh. The album doesn't seem to what to play.
C'mon. Quit skipping. *SFX: fist hitting console* C'mon. You're not doing anything. C'mon. Work. Work, machine! *SFX: fist hitting console repeatedly*
WORK, WORK! WOOOORK! ... Wait. Oh. oh lariat light-- *SFX: static cutting out broadcast*
Crap, crap, okay, it works again. Sorry, I guess... Pick the Skin you want, please?

Spoiler: Skins for Green (click to show/hide)

The Werewolf
What the game says: Passionate, violent, muscular, fickle. The werewolf is all about using physical violence and transformation to get what it wants.
High stats: Hot, Volatile. Low stats: Cold, Dark.
What I say: Nothing like the classics, is there? This is good if you want to beat people up in your Darkest Self.

The Vampire 
What the game says: Icy, manipulative, pretty, hypnotic. The vampire is all about emotional entrenchment and emotional dominance. 
High stats: Hot, Cold. Low stats: Volatile, Dark. 
What I say: Huh, and I was just reading a Vampire the Masquerade Let's Play. Expect references if we go this path.

The Witch 
What the game says: Manipulative, secretive, judgemental, brooding. The witch is all about casting silent judgement, and powerful hexes, from the safety of their own bedroom. 
High stats: Cold, Dark. Low stats: Hot, Volatile.
What I say: This is similar to the Infernal, except instead you have Hexes. These trigger when you either have a sympathetic token of that person (Like a hair or fingerprints) or if you yell at them in tongues. Fun skin! Not necessarily a female, despite the name.

[Salsacookies]

The choice is simple. Lynch Masterson, the Werewolf. Literal party animal going strong since the Industrial Revolution. However, being a huge furred beast can't replace the hole he feels in his heart. (Fade moves sounds good to me, and I plan to run the zombie version of this game, if you don't mind.)
