The Park Siblings
Characters for BOTB - Gwendolyne's family
Gwendolyne Park - Guitarist for Adelaide Anarchists
Hudson Park - Gwendolyne's older brother
Gwendolyne Park, born 1991 in Melbourne, Australia, is the guitarist for Adelaide Anarchists. She's a confident, green-thumb, pescatarian who loves whimsy goth aesthetics and frequently listens to Cocteau Twins and Joy Division. She was orphaned from the young age of 12 when her parents passed in an accident. She's been living with her older brother ever since in Adelaide where she currently resides. She loves her boyfriend Brayden and his shyness, finding it endearing. She views Axel as a slightly older brother figure, often being able to sync rhythm from her riffs to his beats. She always looks out for Axel and his temperament and frequently maintains the appearances of the band so Axel and Kyle don't mess things up with their chaos.
Hudson Park, born 1980 in Indonesia to Indonesian Vietnamese parents, is a freelance band artist who grew up in Melbourne, Australia. Realizing he was gonna be an older brother at 11, Hudson was always protective towards Gwendolyne. He loves his baby sister very much and starts her off young, and he gets her into goth bands and guitar. Losing his parents at 23 made him only more protective of his sister and had her move with him to Adelaide, Australia where they live in an apartment complex / corner store / laundromat shared with 5 other tenants. He does odd jobs to keep up with rent while mainly working for bands and producing band merch as a freelance artist. He struggles with depression due to the loss of his parents, often isolated and introverted as opposed to his sister, who, while also struggles with depression - she's more optimistic. Hudson has an eye condition known as Pigment Dispersion Syndrome (PDS). He usually wears eye contact lenses or glasses to mitigate his condition.

The Taylors
Characters for BOTB - Brayden’s Family
JoAnna Taylor - Brayden’s mom
Brayden Taylor - Bassist for Adelaide Anarchists
Morgan Taylor - Brayden’s younger sister
JoAnna Taylor, born 1958 in Wellington, New Zealand, is a well acclaimed lawyer and divorced mother of two. For new job opportunities, she moved to Sydney, Australia in 1993 with her now ex-husband and 3 year old son (Brayden) at the time, later giving birth to her daughter Morgan in 1994. After divorcing her husband, fed up and filled with hatred towards him after he harmed her precious children, she packed her and her children's bags for Adelaide, Australia in 2002 where they would then go on to reside in. She's a tired mom who's bitchy to anyone who isn't her two precious kids and spoils both her kids while also being kind of a helicopter parent to them out of paranoia. She's very protective of Brayden and his disability and will throw hands at anyone who so much as looks at him a funny way or judges him.
Brayden Taylor, born 1990 in Wellington, New Zealand, is the bassist for Adelaide Anarchists. He's a soft-spoken introverted coward, but is also quite agile and quick paced. He's a notable student of Adelaide High school for his high grades and professionalism despite his shy nature. From a young age, Brayden - due to an accident - lost his right eye and since then has either went on about it or worn either a prosthetic eye or eyepatch to cover it up. He faced a lot of scrutiny and bullying as a kid but would soon learn to stand up for himself since he didn't want his little sister Morgan to fight people to defend him anymore. He hates his father and has a soft spot for his mom despite her "karen" tendencies. He's also dating Gwendolyne Parks, his bandmate and crush since 9th grade. He's absolutely smitten with her and frequently duets with her despite his shyness.
Morgan Taylor, born 1994 in Sydney, Australia to 🇳🇱🇳🇿 parents, is a rambunctious and hyper child as of 2006 (the year the story takes place). She's a smug Daredevil who's slightly snarky and loves getting into mischief. She loves and defends her mom despite her strict nature, understanding her protectiveness after what her dad did. She also is VERY protective of her older brother Brayden and his disability and will fight anyone who judges him. She loves cats, especially their pet cat Dundy.

I cannot stress enough to you that all American government agencies are falling apart at the seams right now and they will not be put back together for the foreseeable future. EPA DHS ED VA FDA NIH IRS CDC HHS NPS etc... Elon Musk is dismantling everything. Anyone who resigns or is laid off now, the word we (I am an agency employee) are receiving internally is that their position will be abolished, not backfilled.
Do you like eating clean, safe food?
Do you like having clean, safe air and water?
Do you want experts monitoring developing infectious diseases?
Do you like getting tax returns?
Do you want your children to have free, quality, public education?
If so, you need to write to your senators and representatives RIGHT NOW. Trump is not obeying the rule of law. He is illegally firing all the inspectors general of these agencies (they are literally being escorted by security out of their offices) so that there is no one left to stop him from doing quite literally anything he wants. He has bypassed the internal structure of all of the agencies by plugging in external email servers to push typo-filled emails and memos written by employees of the heritage foundation directly into the inbox of every federal agency employee in the country, threatening to terminate them.
The rule of law is dead. The only mechanism left to stop any of this is mass public outcry via convincing your state's congressmen & women to do something, because right now they are staying absolutely silent and none of us in these agencies can figure out why. A massacre is happening right now and every single American will feel the material, concrete consequences of this in their daily lives very soon if nothing is done.
Please help me boost this information.
The news is largely not reporting on what is happening.
Literally all federal workers are currently using this subreddit as our only anonymous gathering place (we all fear doxing and retaliation) and accurate news source https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/. If you want to know what is going on, keep up with this.
This is current breaking news coming from this subreddit:
We don't understand why no one is saying or doing anything. Elon musk is shoving federal guardrails aside to gain personal access to sensitive government systems and information of American citizens
here's a good resource i've used before -- i am not sure what the over under is on faxing vs calling, but thought I'd share
and here's an easy way to find all the numbers you might need with built in scripts for specific issues.
What I've been doing is contacting my senators and representatives via the contact information available on national House and Senate websites.

The Lawson Fuentes
Characters for BOTB - Axel's Family
Manuel Fuentes - Axel's dad
Suzanne Lawson - Axel's mom
Axel Lawson Fuentes - drummer for Adelaide Anarchists
Raelyn Lawson Fuentes - Axel's older sister
Manuel Fuentes was born in America to a Mexican Nicaraguense family in 1961 and moved to Miami in his teen years. His older brother Maximilio raised him the most since his parents were absent and neglectful. Manuel found himself to a life of crime and rejecting the government. In his 20's, Manuel got interested in street racing, driving a Ford Mustang LX 5.0 (fox body) and his dream car being a Buick GNX. He got married to Suzanne Lawson in 1987, two years after their daughter Raelyn was born in Miami, Florida. Their marriage would go well for the first year before getting rocky and tense arguments would lead to Suzanne conceiving Axel five years later as a last ditch effort to saving the marriage. It would work but only for 8 years, with Manuel being arrested in 1999 and deported from Australia to Miami. He would be filed for divorce and would remain in prison for 4 years before being released in 2003 and living in the same trailer park as his brother. He has a distant relationship with his daughter and gets along with Axel, who visits his dad every 4 years.
Suzanne Lawson, born in 1962 in Mt. Gambier, Australia, grew up in a middle-class Australian household. She studied abroad as a nurse and that's where she ended up meeting Manuel. The two would marry and have children before bitterly divorcing on bad terms after Manuel's arrest in 1999. She would remarry to a 36 year old tech employee named Ashwin Lochan a year later and continue to raise Axel and Raelyn till 2006, where 15 year old Axel, fed up with his mother's alcoholism and abuse, would retaliate and run away to live with his bandmate Kyle Johns in Adelaide. Suzanne remains bitter and indulged in her bad coping mechanisms.
Raelyn Lawson Fuentes, born 1985 in Miami, Florida, grew up in Mt. Gambier - witnessing from an early age her parents turmoil until her baby brother was born. Sparking jealousy over how Axel being born was what mended her parent's marriage, she resented him and saw Axel as a "Twerp" / "Idiot baby brother" during her 20s and would only grow out of that mindset once Axel turned 24. When it comes to the abuse the two endure from their mom, Raelyn treats it as "survival of the fittest" and ends up dipping from the house as soon as she turned 18, only occasionally returning when her living plans don't fall through properly. She currently studies in business and is a total diva.
Axel Lawson Fuentes, born in Mt. Gambier, Australia in 1991, is the drummer for Adelaide Anarchists. Growing up, he had a decent relationship with his parents until he turned 8, where his mom would grow bitter due to the divorce and he'd be limited from visiting his father due to Manuel's predicament. He would be frequently bullied in school and at home would only be further pestered by his mother and his step father would remain a bystander to the harassment. He felt wounded by his sisters resentment as well, mocking her frequently to cope with how lonely he felt being the main one targeted by his mother's abuse. He would resort to drumming at the age of 11 and would pick it up well, landing the position as the drummer for Adelaide Anarchists and soon would run away at 15 from home to live with his best friend and band mate, Kyle Johns.
(Bonus note: Axel's mom is bitter and frequently compares him to his father based off similar appearances.)
