😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT — is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge?
🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?
OOH HI!! Thanks for the ask!!!
Fregory Johnson is open-minded to a seemingly absurd degree--one of his favorite things to do is to throw huge amounts of money at anyone who can successfully pitch some harebrained scheme or invention to him, and somehow this has worked out, leaving Fregory with millions of dollars and his froggy toes in multiple successful ventures. While Mr. Johnson (believes that he) has perfected the art of business, he is well aware that he doesn't know everything, and is always eager to bring in new suckers business-lacking specialists to milk them dry realize the monetary potential of their ideas. What he does might seem cruel, but hey, he didn't get this far by staying in his lane! Stuffing a few ballot boxes, undercutting the competition, stabbing a couple of backs...that's business, darling! Always gotta keep your mind and options open.
Since this story takes place in this fantasy world's technological equivalent to the late 19th century (approx. 1885-1895 ish technology wise) and most of my characters aren't well enough off to regularly attend paid venues, they're generally limited to whatever free live music they can catch in their area. Rocky and Juno are the two biggest music enthusiasts of the group, and both participate heavily in the local music scenes in their areas (Rocky with his banjo and Juno with the fiddle, accordion, or concertina). Juno's favorite band is The Redfish, a 4-man band that frequently tours in southern New Riona. He dreams of getting to play on stage with them someday...
One outlier to this general rule, though, is Tilde--being both a music enjoyer and member of the Mekkemian aristocracy, she has the privilege of being able to both pay for seats at a variety of high-entry-price musical performances and access to recorded music on the wax-cylinder phonograph. She really enjoys attending symphonic performances and ballets, and likes to overwrite old worn-out wax cylinders with her own piano/vocal recordings
