Edei Delanore

0 · 634 views · located in On Tour

a character in “Living in the Limelight”, as played by Celedia

Description

Full Name:
Edei (pronounced Eee-Dee) Delanore

Stage Name:
Edei, she’s not very creative. On her stuff she always shortens it to the letters “ED”.

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. She’s surprisingly tiny, standing at a whopping 5’2” 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 she’s been influenced by everything from The Offspring to Amon Amarth. In Flames to Journey. She tends to zone out a bit when she’s playing, one of those musicians that likes to feel the music she’s 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:
Edei’s a jokester and never takes anything too seriously, which tends to piss people off. She’s learned that everything you have can be gone in less than a second but that doesn’t 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, she’ll 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 isn’t 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. She’s one of those people that can roll into a new town and by nightfall she’ll 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, she’s 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 she’s bored or restless her leg bounces or her fingers tap repetitively upon any nearby surface. Her eye twitches when she’s 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 don’t worry. She doesn’t 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 ‘popular’ 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 didn’t 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 ‘fall back’ plan just in case her love for music didn’t 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 didn’t 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 Izzie’s cell number and she wasn’t 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.




Rock of Ages!

So begins...

Craig's lips tilted up into a smile when the bassist broke off from her story and turned to face him. "Indeed." He said. He hadn't caught much of it, but what he had made him a bit curious as to what it had been about. He called a 'thanks man' to the bartender who slid his beer over to him before he took a healthy sip of it, listening quietly as he was informed that Cormac would be joining them as well, since apparently he'd given a response to Edei and not him, which didn't really come as a surprise. Oh, well. There went the plan of just spending some time with Edei himself but he didn't really mind, he'd given Cormac the invitation to join them as well and it could be nice to hang out with the both of them outside of the studio. "Oh, really? Good. I'd invited him earlier, but I didn't get a response so I figured he was probably asleep and not coming." He said, shrugging and then going to take another sip of his excellent beer before pausing, his glass halfway to his lips when Edei continued, saying she'd invited Izzie as well who had declined. He arched a brow at her, clearly skeptical. Never in his whole life had he heard Izzie Martinez apologize for not being able to attend a social gathering. Edei seemed to be trying to hide her amusement at something - at what, he had a pretty good idea. "I'm sure she was most sincere." He said, a touch of sarcasm finding it's way into his voice. He had a feeling he knew what the singer actually had actually said, since he'd gotten something similar from the few times he'd invited her to try and get to know the band better. "She told you to fuck off and die in a fire, right?" He asked, smirking slightly as he looked at the dark haired bassist expectantly.


The young guitarist turned, his eyes falling on Cormac who'd just placed himself to Edei's right. "Hey, man." He said, offering the drummer a slight smile before taking a sip of his beer and watching as the bartender shot the enthusiastic Cormac a look of true disdain since he'd finally had a break from the constant coming and going customers at the large horseshoe shaped bar. Craig smirked a little at what Cormac said. He was starting to doubt that Izzie was actually pocket-dialing him and beginning to believe it was more like her purposely trying to give the drummer a heartattack. "Your damn ringtone almost gives me a heartattack. You should really change it before it kills ones of us." He told the drummer, however he was starting to think having a phone with that ringtone could be rather fun to have lying around the studio since it could be rather amusing to see who jumps out of their skin first.

As drinks were settled all around, Edei made a gesture to the bartender as she grinned. “Put these two on my tab, Trent. Ok?” Then from further to the right, one of the people she had been telling stories too earlier piped up, “Hey! Put me on your tab too, sweet cheeks!” Laughing good naturedly, Edei leaned back enough so reply, “Sorry, buddy. I like these two. You’re still
” Her hand shot out, seesawing back and forth as if she was unsure about her opinion on the guy. “Questionable.”

Another grin flashed over her lips as she settled back between her two bandmates, pushing her stool back ever so slightly so that the three of them could look at each other without either Edei constantly swiveling her head and without the boys having to look over her when they addressed one another.

Kicking back another sip of her whiskey, she reached out, clinking her glass against Cormy’s ‘Jameson-or-some-shit before twisting and doing the same with Craig’s beer. Only then did she finally respond to his earlier question, ” "She told you to fuck off and die in a fire, right?"”

“And no, no, no
” Shaking her head emphatically, Edei bit her lower lip to hide her grin. “She told me to fuck off and die in a hole. I’ve moved up from the fire threats
 Or is that down?” A quick tilt of her head showed she was considering the two options whilst comparing them to one another. “Yep
 I think this one is better. I would rather not be on fire so fucking off and dying in a hole is preferable.”

Edei hooked her feet around the back legs of her stool so that she wouldn’t be constantly swinging her legs back and forth and she cast a look at each guy with her brow arched slightly skyward. “And what ringtone is this and what are we changing it to? It can’t be as bad as the defaults even if it does give you a heart attack.”

She was going to add something else to the topic at hand but she didn’t exactly want to talk about ringtones and cell phones all night so instead she switched subjects like a person with attention span issues.

“So I take it Izzie doesn’t hang out much outside of work but you guys aren’t exactly bro-fisting either so does that mean no one in this band has simply
hung out before? You guys have had to have been through more reincarnations of the line up than I have.” That was a given, considering she was the newest member though she couldn’t quite recall how long either of the other guys had been with Psychosis. She just knew Izzie had been with it for forever, Cormy
 Had he been with them since its inception? And Craig was newer but even he had been through at least one other band member- whoever the bassist was before her.

"Oh?" Craig asked, raising a brow at Edei after she clinked her glass against his and informed him that he was mistaken - that Izzie Martinez had given different response. Still, he had high doubts that it was much nicer, especially since the bassist was biting her lip as if to refrain from smiling or laughing. Then, she told him. The response made him smile. Yeah, that one definitely sounded like something Izzie would say as well. He cocked his head to the side as Edei debated whether the hole threat was better than the fire threat. "Well, either one you're going to die...Depends, are you being buried in the hole you're dying in or are you just in a hole and dying? If you're buried alive, then you'd suffocate... If you were burned alive the flesh would sear off you bones, I wouldn't imagine it would take too long for that to kill you..." He narrowed his eyes as if deep in thought and took another sip of his beer and then pausing when he realized how morbid that sounded. "You know what, I think I've been listening to too much death metal." He said chuckling a little and shaking his head at himself and casting an apologetic smile at Edei.


Looking at Cormac, Craig's lips twitched into a smile. The punk was already covered in alcohol and he probably hadn't even been in the bar for ten minutes, but as the drummer said - he was basically obligated to be covered in some sort of alcohol at all times. What amused Craig mostly though was the fact that Cormac hadn't even finished most of his drink that he'd just spilled on himself and he already nearly sounded intoxicated.

That was when Edei asked about the ringtone. "Cormac's text message notification...ringtone, thing. It's Napalm Death's "You Suffer"...I'm almost positive I'm not the only one who's been startled when that thing goes off unexpectedly." He told her with a shrug and smile before turning to look at Cormac who was informing them that he always planned to change it but kept forgetting. Craig raised a brow at the drummer who seemed to be in a sort of daze, his eyes even glazing over for a few moments before asking them if that was some sort of mental condition. "Perhaps you have Alzheimers." He joked, smirking as he raised the bottle to his lips and took a sip.

He then tilted his head and listened as Edei posed yet another good question (although this one was slightly more interesting than what Cormac was planning on changing his ringtone to). He let the drummer answer that question, at least for now. Craig was still fairly new, only having been around for almost a year. Normally he spent a lot of time with his bandmates - but Psychosis, not so much. Mostly because Izzie told him to fuck off and leave her alone - which he was okay with and Cormac kind of did his own thing, except for the time or two Craig had invited them to come hang out with some friends. He let Cormac finish his speech before he nodded his agreement. "Pretty much what he said." He told Edei with a shrug. "I just try to stay on her good side - I've only been with Psychosis for a few months - almost a year, I guess." He admitted.

Edei went through two more whiskeys in the short span of time that it took the two men to answer her questions and when a lull in the conversation presented itself, she cast an incredulous look regarding their replies. “What do you mean you just try to stay on her good side?” The inquiry had left her lips before she realized that it might make her look dense and she pushed her now empty glass upon the bar to hold up both hands defensively whilst twisting slightly from side to side as if warding of incoming verbal attacks.

“Not what I mean. Lemme rephrase
” She dragged her lower lip between her teeth and worried at it slightly before trying again. “I mean
 Maybe Izzie’s firing people left and right because she doesn’t feel a connection to ‘em
 You know? If you don’t make an impact with someone then of course they’re going to easily cast you out of their life. I’m not saying we do fuckin’ trust falls with each other in some sort of weird ass team building exercise or anything but maybe we should
 I don’t know
”

She gestured vaguely as if the small movement would somehow emphasize her point before giving up with a slightly frustrated look. “I just think we should
.. Befriend her.”

Silence reigned for a moment and Edei realized her error. She had just tried to talk about feelings and shit with a couple of dudes. Goddammit.

Popping up from her seat unannounced, she threaded her way through the crowd towards the jukebox to give herself a moment to regroup. The musical selection was an array of bar classics lined up with a single pop album option which made her smirk slightly and she finally went with a Dropkick Murphy’s song to play upon the Irish theme of the bar. A blood red fingernail tapped upon “Dirty Glass” and she made her way back to her seat, slipping in between Craig and Cormy as she tried to pretend as if the previous monologue hadn’t even occurred.

“So
” Her slender fingers wrapped around her glass which the bartender had seen fit to top off during her absence and her mind flickered rapidly through questions she could ask the duo though most seemed too personal, too boring or too mundane. So instead she decided to continue asking the questions. Less pressure that way!

“How in the world did Izzie get you banned from a bar for life!?”
