OKAY!! I typed up some character lore for Lennon and Dimitri, but it was so long I had to break it into separate posts. 1/2

This story follows the friendship of Lennon and Dimitri as they take the world head on, trying to make music together. The story is based in Cambridge/Somerville Massachusetts in 2009.

Lennon McManus (born June 21, 1986) is the son of a retired rockstar. Len feels like he's living in his dad's shadow and has a lot to live up to. He swears that he'll be a better musician than his dad ever was. Lennon wants nothing to do with his dad, even going as far to change his last name so he won't be associated with him.

Lennon is an extremely talented musician, spending most of his time learning new instruments (or playing Call of Duty and Mortal Kombat). Lennon really doesn't even need anyone else to be in his band, he could literally just do the whole thing himself, but he falls short when it comes to writing lyrics. He thinks his lyrics suck, (and they kind of do). A lot of that comes from insecurity, he doesn't feel he's had enough life experience to write interesting lyrics.

Lennon dropped out of high school during his sophomore year. Education is kind of a sore topic for Lennon. He didn't care about school, but the dude lives down the street from Harvard University and there are so many great colleges in the Boston area. As he gets older, he'll always wonder what could've been if he put more effort in and finished high school.

While hanging out in the area, or walking through Harvard Yard, sometimes he'll be stopped by tourists asking for directions. He lives in the area so of course he knows where everything is, but will instead reply, "Do I look like I attend school here???!" while gesturing to his dirty band tee and ripped jeans. It's a bit upsetting when this happens.

Lennon's kind of lazy and gross and only cares about things he's interested in doing. Lennon's really just a little gremlin. At 23, he stills lives at home with his father in Somerville, MA. He can't drive despite being gifted a car for his 16th birthday, (his father is kind of rich) it's just been sitting in the driveway the whole time.

OKay, answers: from left to right.

The sweetest person, the suspected murderer, the law student and the high school drop out.

One of them went to law school, another is basically a murderer, one of them is a high school dropout and the other is the sweetest person you'll ever meet. Can you guess which is which?

(IDK why the star background. I drew this as a twitter banner, but it looked weird to just post it alone?)

This story follows the friendship of Lennon and Dimitri as they take the world head on, trying to make music together. The story is based in Cambridge/Somerville Massachusetts in 2009.

Dimitri Wretzky (born October 3 1983) studied law at Boston University. After college, he didn't do anything with his degree and moved to Somerville, MA with his girlfriend Meg. (Don't worry about her, she's not relevant AT ALL... they break up before the comic starts). He's the type of person who constantly needs attention and is almost never without a girlfriend or boyfriend. (He's Bi). 

Dimitri grew up in Lowell, MA and attended a Catholic high school, Unlike Lennon, Dimitri has a pretty decent relationship with his parents.

He's super smart, book smart and emotionally smart. He is a talented writer and poet and great at marketing himself and bringing ideas to life. He's big into punk and hardcore music, (though his parents think this means he only really listens to Green Day). Dimitri picked up the bass guitar cause he thought it'd be the easiest to learn... it was not easy. Lennon tries to help him out a lot and he's supposed to improve throughout the comic. While Lennon really cares about the music, Dimitri's just hyped up to be in a band and live that kind of life.

Dimitri believes nothing is accidental and everything he does has purpose. Everything has a reason behind it, even if he has to look a little deeper to find it's meaning.

Dimitri's world is shook when he meets Oli LaBlanc by accident one day. (I'm not gonna get too much into Oli right now, but just know he's a photographer/videographer and graphic designer from NY who is living in the Boston area for work)

The two hit it off right away and become quick friends... Maybe even more...

In a group of friends, Dimitri would probably be called the mom friend. He's kind and caring and his emotional intelligence gets him far. People love Dimitri for his friendly and upbeat demeanor and think he's the best looking of the group. He's the type of dude that could really get anything he wants out of life. Unfortunately, Dimitri has a streak of self sabotage.

Dimitri often puts others before him. His main priority is making sure his friends are happy and doing well, especially his best friend Lennon. The two of them work really well together, they're like perfect fitting but opposite puzzle pieces. They're two dudes you probably wouldn't expect to be friends by appearance alone.

Dimitri also picks up crochet at one point... But that's getting into spoiler territory. Heheheh

i think they’re cute!!

i’m struggling to find the words to describe my feelings but i think that he doesn’t really Stand Out of the group? even with purple hair. all of the designs are Good and Cohesive but he doesn’t come across as more attractive than the others (at least, to me)

the others have a little more going on in their faces (glasses, facial hair) than he does so maybe adding more definition to some aspects of his face? and the purple hair works with the colors of their skin and outfits but sort of. Mutes? what would be eye-catching about their face

i don’t know much abt character design so these are just my thoughts as a follower :3

This is SUPER helpful and insightful. Will definitely be keeping this in mind next time I draw him!

Me in the shower: Comes up with the most poignant dialogue and scenarios of my OC's and backstory that makes the character complex and fit seamlessly into an established canon series.

Me literally 10 minutes later on my Google Docs: .....oh words....they exist maybe...
