Miles Villanueva is your typical punk-rock emo kid. He has short, light brown hair, crimson eyes, and wears gauges. He has an unhealthy obsession with music, and he never seemed to take note in his sexuality. His mother died when he was only nine years old, leaving him alone with a father who became addicted to sleeping with a new girl each week and getting lost in the depths of alcohol each night. Miles always seems to be alone, for he locks himself up in his bedroom, playing around with his music, being the rock and roll Beethoven that he's soon to become.
Jace Myers is your typical metalcore emo kid. He has medium length jet black hair, icy gray eyes, has a lip and an eyebrow piercing, wears gauges, and owns a motorcycle. Always dressed in black, Jace comes from a fractured family, that no longer means anything to him. With his brooding dark past always bugging him, he comes off as a cocky, conceited jerk, who seems to take a liking to Miles. And when Jace wants something...he always gets it.
