i think i'm gonna have julian be a transplant as well. probably from the northern cali area. but he likes to good off a lot and doesn't take anything too seriously unless needed. he's passionate about music and tried to make it in a few metal bands (some that were signed and some that just bankrupted the shit out of him) until he realized that he enjoyed working with the gear more than the people. we can say they met at a show? or maybe she swung by the shop to play an instrument and he was mesmerized by her skill?
