Your Story:
The Rath family came home with a new member, a bouncing baby boy, they couldnt be happier. A few months went by and they were so happy Till one night something happened that ended in their baby screaming so loud it blew out the baby room window and cracked the ceiling, they couldnt be more horrified.

Zan grew up in a run down children's home across the street from a bar called Means To The End. He was a wild child and always got into trouble, but that was just fine by Him as over the time a few new kids came to the home. Kids that were just the same in attitude and likes as He was. They shared a room with a window that faced the bar across the street and every night the bar was busy and played the music loud. It was a bad location for a children's home, but a great location for Zan and His friends.

Sure Him and the others got adopted, but it wasnt long before they returned, either by the people giving them back or by the police bringing them back because the families they were adopted by werent the best kind of people. His friends and Him always ended back up in their same room every time they returned. Soon enough they started to adapt their own names for each other and began hanging out in the music room of the home. The instruments were hand-Me-downs and almost falling apart, but all the same to them they would use them till they broke.

By the age of eighteen it was time for Him to leave the home, He was older then the others so He was the first to have to leave. Not without a plan to meet His friends once they were out too. The state a signed Him a place to work and an apartment to live in, but on His way He happened by a music store with two signs in the window. One read "Help Wanted" and the other read "Loft For Rent". He trashed the information He was handed when He was sent out the door of the home and walked right into the store, He hasnt left since. Turns out the store was owned by this guy that had a Trust Fund left to him by his parents, and all the guy wanted to do was listen to music and party. Perfect kind of guy for Him and His friends.

A year went by and He showed up at the bar across from the now boarded up children's home, the place finally closed down it seemed, but sure enough His friends too showed up just as they planned to do. From there Him and His friends got equipment over time and started up a band, with a bit of help from their new friends. Everyone enjoyed the sound of their music and the original songs, the only thing was Zan didnt quite have the right voice for singing and He was the only one among the group that could even hold a tune.

Time went by and they played a lot at their favorite bar, the guy liked the sound just not so much the singing, but that was enough for them. They partied, they drank, they fought. Soon Zan started to become frustrated over the lack of singing talent and that just caused more fighting from Him to the slightest prick that said something wrong to Him or His friends.

Two weeks ago, Zan was sitting in His empty loft apartment above the music store messing around with some song lyrics, nothing was sounding good to Him. So He started to play around making sound effects to the movie He was watching and just picking at His guitar forgetting the fact that He had the computer audio set to record. It was only till He realized this and went back to play what was recorded that He realized He didnt notice those sound effects He was making. He erased the saved file and started it again only with the tv off, when He played it back this time He was shocked to find out those sound effects were His and not the movie's sound effects.

He spent the next few days locked up in the loft when He wasnt working in the music store or practicing a song with His band mate, mostly instrumentals practice since Zan wrote the songs and new the lyrics already by heart. His friends found His sudden want to be alone strange, but also knew He was frustrated by the vocals so they just chalked it up as something that would pass in a week or so.

One week ago, it was a gig at the bar and it was one of the more busy nights in a while. They get up on the stage and do a sound check then have a drink before they do their set. Up on the stage they went everyone in the crowed waiting to hear the new songs they wrote, there was a silence as they began to play and He started to sing. There was a celebration after the bar calmed down from the hype of Zan's new and improved singing voice and He was no longer frustrated. They drank, they partied, they pissed some new faces in the bar off.

Drunk and on their way home those people they pissed off followed them waiting till they were on a dark street to jump them. They beat His friend that was yelling at them and broke his leg, knocking the others down including Him. One of the people that was drunk and really pissed at His friend they beat pulled a gun and pointed it at His friend, this brought out something else in Him. He was always the quiet one, as everyone else yelled around the bar He just sat and smiled till the fights broke out even then He didnt raise His voice. This time on the other hand He got to His feet and yelled, objects began to tumble along the ground people that were standing, none of His friends, were thrown down the street, windows shattered, car alarms went off from the vibrations, a light pole fell over, and as He ran out of breathe He was standing there in surprise at what happened. His friends where drunk and passed up not remembering anything.

Present day, He walks a little taller in life...


-----Other Information-----
When He is not working on a new song, working in the music store, playing a gig, or out drinking with the band mates, He prefers to spend His time in the peace and quiet of His loft apartment doing nothing at all.
