Juke Box Hero Wouldbes

This is a game using a hack of the ruleset Lasers & Feelings, called Sweet Riffs & Power Chords. These rules are designed around characters being in a band that end up having eldritch power of some kind, able to fight off other-worldly beings.

Characters

Kobayashi Kanako

Played by: Malkavian Grin

Role: Rhythm Guitar

Style: Stoned

Number: 2

Kanako is very "laid back and chill" and able to take pretty much anything in stride. She keeps the underlying motion of the song flowing, especially when her sister Yukiko gets amped up. On the flip side, being a stoner means Kanako thinks a lot but is very go-with-the-flow so she's happy to just chill and do nothing too. That can be a bad thing, as sometimes she gets lazy and doesn't act on things she needs to do. She's also got a bad habit of chain-smoking cigarettes and some of the only times she gets antsy is when she's out of smokes or can't because of the venue.

Kobayashi Yukiko

Played by: Squidheadjax

Role: Lead Guitar

Style: Manic

Number: 5

While Yukiko's style is manic, she's manic like a housecat - when in motion, she's a cannonball, but when at rest, she is at rest, and doesn't have a lot of energy for mundane planning and organization. She can give off the impression of a corpse occasionally animating into a hungry ghost; someone snarked that at her once, and she's worked it into her style. The group's songs with more of her influence tend to the spooky side, and on gigs where they have full lighting she'll usually stay still and hooded in a dead spot in the lights, remaining a looming presence until it's time to kick things off with her furious riffs.
