BRANDON 'BAM' EDDIE DODGER

SONG INSPIRATION - Reckless Abandon by Blink-182
Bam and Salem met last year when Salem came in as a new local. Bam knew instantly when he saw Salem just how adorable and sexy the boy was. Bam took a few weeks before he'd even approach the skittish, Finnish boy. But as soon as he did and Salem adjusted to being spoken to, a relationship formed. Only Bam had been hiding a bad side that only came out after Salem fell for him. Bam seemed to completely transform infront of Salem's eyes. He is a heavy heroin addict who is also an alcoholic. He's anti-authority and has major issues with controlling his temper. He regularly hits, beats, and chokes Salem. And to be honest, he's worried he's going to snap one day and kill Salem.
Bam was born the middle of three boys to a mechanic father and housewife mother out of New Jersey. Growing up Bam was always the prankster and little hellion of the family. He was always obsessed with cars growing up but his ADHD never let him get more than a few parts into a repair. By the time he was twelve he had already gotten suspended from schools more time than imaginable and had a foot long police record. He picked up skating at ten and became obsessed with it, regularly entering in competitions. He gew up to be known by the cops and his friends as 'Bam' because that was the sound you normally heard right before he began running from something he'd done. He hung out with the stoners and skaters but never really felt like he fit in much of anywhere. He's a risk taker, something that has never left him as he's aged. He's also a loud mouth firecracker who is willing to fight just to say he did it.
MATTIAS ANTIK KORHONEN
Twenty. College. Bisexual. Best Friend. "I hate his boyfriend because I am in love with him." Shy. Antisocial. Smart. Musicially gifted. Selective Mutism. Guitarist. Mikko 'Linde' Lindstrom of HIM
SONG INSPIRATION - People Are Strange by The Doors
Mattias and Salem are best friends. The two met back in Finland at school and became quite close. Mattias came from a poverty-stricken family comprised of a drunken, addict father and an addict, dealing mother. Six months after the friends met, Mattias's parents were arrested and put in prison for felony trafficking. Mattias moved in with the Burroughs family and has remained with them ever since. Mattias and Salem are more like brothers than just best friends and can always rely on one another when times are tough. Mattias drug Salem out of the dark reccesses of the Finland goth scene and was there to help make him see the light, and to support him. The two play music together where Mattias's gift of guitar and bass are evident. Mattias suffers from selective mutism in large crowds or in public settings.
