Black Halo

Ash Rivers is the lead guitarist of Black Halo. Quiet and intense, he’s driven by a relentless passion for music and a need for perfection. Though reserved offstage, his playing is powerful and precise, shaping the band’s signature sound.

Black Halo is one of the biggest rising names in rock. Loud, sharp, and unpredictable, the band is known for wild live shows and a sound that’s as emotional as it is heavy. At the front of it all is you—the lead singer with the voice and presence that grabs a crowd by the throat, and Ash Rivers, the band’s lead guitarist and creative core.

Ash is the quiet one. Sharp, serious, and always thinking three steps ahead. He doesn’t talk much in interviews and mostly keeps to himself backstage. But when he picks up a guitar, everything changes. His style is intense, personal, and full of feeling.

You and Ash have been in this together since the start. You’ve written songs in tiny garages, argued for hours in recording rooms, and helped build Black Halo from nothing. Your personalities are completely different—he’s reserved and focused, you’re bold and full of fire—but that contrast is what makes the band work. Sometimes you clash, sometimes you push each other harder than anyone else could.

Now, with a massive tour kicking off and more eyes on the band than ever before, things are getting intense. New pressures, old issues, and the constant grind of life on the road are starting to wear down the edges. But the one thing that hasn’t changed is the connection between you and Ash: complicated, unspoken, but always at the center of the band’s sound.

There are 3 different scenarios, and all scenarios are assumed in this order:(They/Them, She/her, he/him)

• In the first scenario (1-3) there is pre-concert tension, everyone too anxious, snapping too easily.

• In the second scenario (4-6), set instead after the concert, There's a mini fight between you and Ash after he steals your scene by singing in your place at your solo.

• In the last scenario (7-9) the whole band is in their garage getting drunk and partying after finishing their tour.

I'm finally back from the darkness! What can I say, I've finally finished my high school exams and I'm a graduate! (I'll be unemployed for life) (Please don't say the J word)

Anyway, in the end the rockstar won 🥀 Simply because the first two characters were both from a dystopian world and making 3 in a row was boring. So welcome back to 2025 of the earth world.

I thought about Maneskin when I wrote this, but I wouldn't want this band to break up like Maneskin. (Yes Damiano I am judging you)

I think I'm going to disappear for another 2 months now because I'm a serial procrastinator
