okay so now that i've got this loser applied and he won't get out of my head, let's work out some more stuff with those of you i haven't already gotten with! this is billy collins, former lead guitarist/songwriter from a band you might know the singular hit song from but you probably just think it's some loser frat boy cock rock bullshit (because it is; think something like buckcherry had sex with theory of a deadman and hinder on the same night, and this is the way less successful illegitimate bastard) that was WAY more famous for the 2012 tour bus crash that killed half the members than they ever were for that one song. (a song that strippers across the country still totally dance to, by the way.)

needless to say, he's not ever particularly stoked to be remembered for that band, so he's pretty glad most people have forgotten about them in the years it's been since. he's still kinda known around the local music scene (he's been in manhattan since he was 12 and in and out of the local scene since he was old enough to weasel his way into it), i know he has friends in [info]lucrene and [info]dylgr from that, but he's only recently started picking up a guitar (he hasn't touched one since the crash) again this year. MOSTLY he's focused on opening up a swingers (and low key bondage/sex) club in chelsea, one i have yet to name and would have had it's soft opening either last month or this one and would probably have a halloween themed grand opening coming up, and that's where most of his energy and attention goes.

he lives in soho, so anyone adjacent to there that frequents places with caffeine or booze could have met him. (he's pretty noticeable wherever he goes, but that's just because of the resting bitch/beard face and tattoos.) a mechanic he can take his harley to would be great too! i can do friends who grew up in manhattan, more musicians are always welcome even if he's been just been an observer of the scene lately, anyone involved in the swingers (or poly!) world, or people in the BDSM scene. (there's some complicated stuff with that last one, but i'd love some dark and twisty things with it.) employees of his club would be awesome! bartenders, waitstaff, even a few escorts to be "hostesses/hosts" would be rad but also need to stay very low key. i'd prefer NOT having a whole bunch of people who were fans of his band (mostly because they were honestly terrible and he hates talking about it) because their local reputation was one of mediocre sellouts who just got lucky (not completely untrue) and it's just not a great jumping off point with him, BUT it could provide some good conflict, so i'm willing to go with it for a good substantiative idea outside of it.

ALSO if anyone wants to use his club to throw a badass halloween costume party, it would give me an excuse to get on looking for visuals that match what's in my head AND NAME IT us an awesome place to jump off from, and i'd be willing to throw down on helping with an OOC plot post/etc with it!

this is waaaay tl;dr already, but there's more of it at his bio over here. i'm open to mostly anything, so let's see what we can do! i've been dying to use levi's face for a couple years now, so i'm stoked this guy came together so easily and am super eager to put him through all the abuse lol. :D
