Half a century ago, the Earth was on fire, so it didn’t take much for the all-knowing AI to convince the 1% that the planet’s time was up. The rich and powerful built rockets and one day they were gone, vanished into the sky like fading stars. In the ashes of the Moonists abandonment, rose an idea. What if humankind could only survive by banding together? And yes, we mean with literal rock bands.

Welcome to the Bandocracy

"The world’s on fire in the darkest night 
We’re your band for hire,
we will make it right 
Rock to vote, better make it quick 
Note for note, we’re your body politic."

The Band

Vez

Vez: This gifted lyricist believes that anyone with musical talent should use it to help the world and not let self-doubt - or a scandalous family legacy - stop them.

Skyler

Skyler: An undeniable generational talent and natural star. Just ask! Other people may say things like “selfish”, “inconsiderate”, or “insincere”, but what else would haters say?

Micah

Micah: This cynical veteran musician believes that you can’t get too invested in changing the world, because “The People” will always find a way to mess it up.

Fern

Fern: Determined to find the bright side of anything, this young do-gooder is out to change the world with music that can be everything to everyone!

Akai

AKAI: Discount rented drumbot and chapter head of BOTS4BOTS. His ‘personality’ is programmed for maximum rock n’ roll.
