Edei (pronounced Eee-Dee) Delanore
Stage Name:
Edei, sheâs not very creative. On her stuff she always shortens it to the letters âEDâ.
Age:
24
Birthday:
January 8th, 1988
Appearance:
Edei is, if nothing else, an individual... Just like everyone else, right? She rarely wears any colors other than black/red/blue, usually mixing up styles and wearing her steel-toed boots with everything from frilly dresses to corset tops and leather pants. She dyed her naturally blond hair an unnatural shade of black and wears heavy eyeliner, dark eyeshadow and either deep red or black lipstick. Her pale features are accentuated or perhaps, overshadowed by the makeup and she has a plethora of piercings. Four hoops are looped through each earlobe, an industrial piercing in her right ear, an eyebrow piercing through her left brow, a labret piercing and two separate tongue studs as well as a ton of tattoos. Sheâs surprisingly tiny, standing at a whopping 5â2â tall and has a lithe build with a bit of muscle from lugging her equipment around.
Role:
Psychosis (Band 1)- Bassist
Musical Style:
Her style has grown over the years and sheâs been influenced by everything from The Offspring to Amon Amarth. In Flames to Journey. She tends to zone out a bit when sheâs playing, one of those musicians that likes to feel the music sheâs playing rather than force it. Give her a good drummer to work off of and you can layer any sound you want over her.
Influences are: Lemmy of Motörhead, Cliff Burton of Metallica, Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, and many more.
Instruments:
Primary: Custom-made Neil Moser Arachnid Ultra Bass!
Backup: B.C. Rich Widow WMD Bass
Personality:
Edeiâs a jokester and never takes anything too seriously, which tends to piss people off. Sheâs learned that everything you have can be gone in less than a second but that doesnât stop her from living life to the fullest. Social and friendly, she tends to be one of those people that you either love or hate. Depending on her mood, sheâll either speak her mind or allow others to lead the way and she tends to be more bossy than not.
In short, she is never emotionally stable which isnât helped by her love of alcohol. Thankfully she has never touched drugs or else she would probably be worse off than she already is. Her friendships, true friendships are few and far between whereas her acquaintances are many. Sheâs one of those people that can roll into a new town and by nightfall sheâll be able to tell you the best places to eat, what local bar has the best beer and possibly have an invitation or three to a party somewhere. Her loyalties are fluid, always changing and never stable though when she does find someone worth sticking with, sheâs stuck for good. In fact, she still has monthly video chats with some of the people from high school that dragged her into the music scene.
Edei has a habit of never keeping still. If sheâs bored or restless her leg bounces or her fingers tap repetitively upon any nearby surface. Her eye twitches when sheâs stressed and she tends to find new catch phrases and then use them to death. Oh, and she threatens to stab people quite frequently but donât worry. She doesnât usually mean it.
Biography:
She used to actually be a Disney-loving all-American cheerleader-esque girl until one day in high school she suddenly fell out of the âpopularâ crowd after a football star started spreading rumors around about her. Her popularity declined and the only friends that stuck around were more or less outsiders. Guys and girls that didnât give a shit what anyone else thought about them and they had no extracurricular activities aside from jamming out in garages. It was at these jam sessions that she learned how to play a few instruments and her musical influences shifted from Top 40 to punk, rock, and metal.
A few of the bass players in the group noticed that she had a knack for the instrument and they were accepting of her at that point so they took her under their wing, showing her that heartbreak and agony could be used to fuel her music instead of dragging her down. As soon as she graduated from high school, she stuck with the scene during college where she went for a full four years to get her degree in Marketing, a âfall backâ plan just in case her love for music didnât grant her a paycheck.
All throughout college and even after, she was in a string of bands and even hooked up with a local studio to set up as a studio musician but she never really tried to make it big. In fact, she didnât even really try to become a part of Psychosis either. For Edei, it was just another studio gig, a chance to fill in for failed bassist number eight hundred or whatever they were up to now. Although instead of ending the session and parting ways, she was informed that she was the new bassist and to show up again at the next session while Izzie thrust a phone number into her hand. Turns out, it was actually Izzieâs cell number and she wasnât bullshitting her. Never one to question a random stroke of luck, Edei showed up at the next practice and has been hanging around ever since.
