Apocalypse, cigarettes after sex

RULES ! ✩
(follow them pls)

✩ ONE... first and foremost DONT BE A WEIRDO. no borderline insane ocs with any creepy ass tendencies (a given for sure but this is also wattpad and i've seen some sick applications so idfk anymore)

✩ TWO... DIVERSITY, babes. diversity. this isn't gonna work if it's an entire cast of just white women!! ik we hate men but they still exist i fear. so do keep that in mind when applying.
diversity exists within personalities as well so don't only apply with emo ass men and super kind plain janes. password is your oc's favorite movie or show.

✩ THREE.... FOR FACECLAIMS (important! 👊) no tiktokers, no instagram models, NO MINORS,  and keep them under 30!  any exception to actors is just in case they fit the story really well (ask first i beg)

✩ FOUR... forms are very much the most important part to all this. it's not about the pace you post your form, i'll accept the ocs that i know i can write and fit the story. BE DESCRIPTIVE. please comment your forms in the format of commenting their name first and then commenting the rest of the form in a thread. it's just neater that way i swear i'm not crazy.

✩ FIVE.... the story follows one band, but it's also a romance and i do think it's odd for one band to all be dating each other (also boring??) so i'll be accepting 2-3 additional characters with other jobs. and a few side characters!!

✩ SIX... plsplsplspls don't be a ghost reader. like pls actually i don't know how to kill off people.

✩ SEVEN... really hope none of these seem too strict or mean because the whole point of apply fics is to HAVE FUN with it. thank you to anyone who applies ilyyy all very much <33333

STEREOTYPE ━━ the sex symbol

PERSONALITY ━━ Leon owns his title without even intending to. He's always been someone who strives for any sense of wreckage. He's not much of an open book, when getting to know him at first it's never assumed that he's shy, just a bit recluse, or as most often assumed, just a withdrawn asshole. The first sign of his personality started very early, he was just a child, but he was a child look for destruction wherever he went. his father supported it, found it hilarious, really. being an energetic child was his way of confirming to his father that he'd be the same shredder of a guitarist as he was. but another side to leon was how much he wanted to be seen as an individual, never when it came to his own band, just his with his father. so he based every decision on what his father wouldn't do. forever stuck with his careless nature, even in his current time as he experiences the worst of the worst in his career, he still keeps up with his calm exterior. when he followed his management's rules he was always the one with the dirtiest remarks and constant string of flirtatious lines, and while he did like to charm every once in a while, being told to do anything annoyed him to stop. which adds to another aspect of his character, he'd always hate being told what to do. he was a careless guy with the most out of pocket responses. always the calm one, probably sitting there bitter as hell. he causes the most chaos and walks into meetings as if he's the one that called them. it wasn't easy to catch him off balance.
he had a reputation everywhere he went, but the most drastic change of his life had been going from this genius leader in his boarding to a puppet being told to sexualize every part of himself just to keep people's interests.
BACKSTORY ━━ in the devastating existence of double the notoriety, he grew up without a lick of privacy. even as an infant he'd always experienced being submerged in a warp of reporters and had pictures taken of him. his parents didn't protect him very well in that part of their world, once he grew up and took some factors into consideration, such as them being so young when they had and just at their height of him, he came to forgive them for the world they threw him in. his mother was an heiress, infamous for her partying ways, while his father was a guitarist at the height of his fame with his band. he'd been a result of their one night stand, but even they had managers controlling their every move and so they'd insisted on the two announcing a relationship. they parents he grew up with were still ones in and out of the same relationship all throughout his life, but his parents' relationship stopped being his concern a very long time ago.

SONG(s) THAT DESCRIBES THEM ━━
the very first night, taylor swift
strawberries & cigarettes, troye sivan
pretty fly for a white guy, the offspring

ROLE IN THE BAND ━━ guitarist, back up vocals
STEREOTYPE ━━ the golden boy

PERSONALITY ━━ in every way his entire family's opposite. it's what always made him stand out to the cameras and any one who took interest in his family as a whole. dash wasn't a person with ulterior motives, he didn't grow up acting out and bursting with energy just to stand out from his siblings, he was genuinely just a lively child always accompanied by a grin. he was in many ways one of the most creative minds his father ever had the ability to see, it's what made him the favorite. born with the family charmer but uses in such different ways. he was the one bursting with jokes and energy, always the dumb one yet somehow the genius when it came to compassion. his loyalty and passion gave him the biggest heart, but it also made him all that much prone to being hurt, especially by his own brother. he was unserious mess and chaos, a bright face to the media but also the naive boy they always lurked around just waiting to grasp secrets out of him. always, always the talker.

BACKGROUND ━━ dash was a born two years after the first child to max van di-laurent, by then it was inevitable for him to be stuck in his brother's shadow, especially being the product of max's second marriage. growing up he was as always the lively one, always energetic, always talking, always the complete opposite to his brother. he grew up never exactly feeling right, his father had down everything to make him seem like his brother, even down to the name and the shared meaning they had behind it. he was to always follow his brother's lead, and the first time he ever stepped out of that line, he lost his brother. dash wasn't exactly a petty person but when it came to his brother and his family, he had a lot to say and a lot to prove.
