Fluxarata band AU yap (these were js pulled from the yaps i sent in discord abt the au. All of these are very fresh and early concepts of the characters)
little yaps and rambles abt the au and characters (mid typing i realize i am the worst person for this au cause idk anything about music and instruments)
Jophiel is the eldest of the Theria siblings, Saps and Micro are twins, and Snowbird is their cousin. Their parents were the founders of Therion Records (name is subject to change), a record label that Elanuelo, a famous musician, signed to during his early career. Theria disbands during Flux and Saps’ senior year and her first year in college so that she could focus more on college. A few years later though, she forms Tricolor, a band with her college friends where they sometimes do gigs in dive bars or local events. She works in Therion Records after she graduates college
Jophiel Theria is a bassist and founded Theria which was a band for her, Saps, and Flux to play during school events. Jophiel was the bassist and lead singer, Saps was lead guitar and backing vocals, and Flux was rhythm guitar. Snowbird sometimes played drums for them but other members were usually js sub ins or different people, depending on who’s available
Silas “Saparata” Theria was “gifted” with music, and really great with guitar and could learn different songs really easily since he was young. He can play any instrument, best instrument is guitar but enjoys drums the most
Michael “Micro” Theria wasn’t as interested as music and always had trouble with guitar, but got better when he got older. He doesn’t look it but he’s really talented with classical music though. He likes jazz music (idk which instrument he’d be best in, but I’d think he’d be good w brasswind instruments idk)
Noir “Snowbird” Theria plays both drums and guitar, he played drums during Luminara and rhythm guitar for The Conspiracy (making line ups is hard). He’s the cousin of the Theria siblings and forms a close relationship with Flux during their Luminara years, which is why he stayed w him to form The Conspiracy when Saps left. Doesn’t mean he’s on bad terms with Saps though, Snowbird has and always will be Saps’ closest friend. Just that he recognizes that Flux needs his friends and Saps wanted to leave and be alone for a while
Fluixon Aculon, youngest son of Elanuelo Aculon who was a famous musician. Ender is his older brother, and Cynikka his half older sister. The Aculon and Theria families are close friends, but he and Saps only became friends during high school. Saps was moreso Ender’s friend when they were kids cause Flux was closed off and js bickered with Saps. He started with guitar but fell in love with bass when he started learning. Jophiel often helped him when he started learning bass
Thomas Dragen is Flux’s childhood and closest friend. He has a really good voice and plays rhythm and lead vocals in Luminara and lead vocals in The Conspiracy. Flux also taught him bass, he’s not that good but he can play well enough
Note: with Luminara, the band started during their first year of college, became serious as they were going to graduate, when they started to become popular and known. They continued until a year after they graduated and even got to release an album. They’re all highschool friends and close w each other. But the pressure of the band inevitably gets to them while writing the second album, Saps suffers the most and eventually leaves the band
i like the idea of him being labelled as gifted gave him a lot of pressure during his Luminara years. Mostly internal when he couldn’t make their second album work out and there was a slow decline in their audience. It caused him to work tirelessly on the album and get set off by almost everything and everyone, ultimately making him hate performing. He had to leave the band, or else it would ruin him and his relationship with music, and even Flux. Of course, Flux doesn’t want him to leave. Even though he also was becoming frustrated with how Luminara was going, he was willing to endure it and wanted to keep going and convince Saps to stay. It ultimately ends with them in a fight
Luminara Fluxarata is so :( to me. Flux fell first during their college years and towards the latter half of Luminara’s run was when Fluxarata got together. A lot of their relationship is built upon their admiration for each other I feel. Flux always notices how Saps just shines on stage, as if the lights were made to watch him. Sure you could say Saps is gifted, but he was also hardworking, and Flux knows how much Saps puts into his music that isnt just from his “talent”. Meanwhile Saps admires how much love Flux puts into performing, though Flux has a quieter presence on stage, you can always tell how much he loves playing and performing, how he’ll never stop playing or composing despite whatever is thrown at him. They are each other’s biggest inspirations and standards
Song I like to base this arc with is high and dry by radiohead, specifically the lyrics, “You’re turning into someone you are not” referring to Saps
dont have a solid story on the saps leaving Luminara part, but its definitely based on this ehhehe
