Here's a sketch of Niel and Lynette A.K.A. "Spikedad" & "Spikemum" They are Piers' & Marnie's parents.
Niel is a punk from Motostoke. Lynette is a goth from Spikemuth. Niel had aspirations of being in a band, but never really followed them after he had become devoted to raising his family. He got a regular day job instead. However, his son, Piers had encouraged him to stay in touch with his musical side. Niel would often accompany his son's singing with playing the guitar. Piers was very close with him. He would often include him as his own personal guitarist. Lynette was a typical "Queen of Darkness." She was also a bit of a daredevil. She often rode her motorcycle around late at night, and she loved hanging out on rooftops. No one had ever believed she had a "soft side", even with Piers, she was more of a realist- warning him about certain things, in hopes that he wouldn't have to face some of the mistakes she had made in the past. But after Marnie was born, she had shown a new side of her- one that was less "dark" and even a bit less "spiky." They loved each other very much. They loved their children very much. Unfortunately, a terrible accident had ripped them away from this world, forcing their son (at age 17) and their daughter (at age 6) to go on without their parents.
