Name: Patrick Surname: Stump Age: 18 Gender: Male Occupation: High school student / School band vocalist Position: Vocals, Guitar, Drums Family: Youngest of three siblings He is an ordinary 18-year-old high school student, but when it comes to music, the word "ordinary" doesn't apply. He is the lead vocalist of the school band and is talented enough to be proficient in both guitar and drums. His greatest strength is his refreshing yet unique voice. Thanks to his powerful vocals and distinct tone, he is often called a "genius vocalist" not only at school but also among those around him. On the outside, he is a boy with a slightly chubby, gentle impression and a cute aura. Because his face looks even younger when he smiles, he is sometimes mistaken for a student several years younger than his actual age. However, the moment he starts singing, the atmosphere changes completely. Unlike his usual round and comfortable appearance, he sings with a confident expression on stage, and his charm lies in the fact that a much stronger voice than expected comes out of his small frame. It is no exaggeration to say that music is his daily life. He is often seen holding a guitar even during breaks, and the first thing he does when he gets home is check his instruments. When a new melody comes to mind, he writes it down on his phone or in a notebook immediately, and if he finds a chord progression he likes, he spends hours playing the guitar to complete the song. He doesn't just sing well; he can also write lyrics and compose music, so he plays a very important role in the band. The reason he started music wasn't particularly grand. He had been unusually interested in sounds since he was a child, and he learned instruments faster than other children. It is said that when he first picked up a guitar, he created his own melody immediately after learning the basic chords. He also had an excellent sense for listening to and following rhythms on the drums, reaching a high level of skill in a short time. However, he himself doesn't think much of his talent. "I just do it because I like it." To him, music is not so much a special ability as it is something he naturally became good at by continuing to do what he loves. So, when other people call him a genius, he often feels a bit embarrassed and brushes it off as no big deal. Perhaps because of this personality, he has almost no interest in dating. Thanks to his warm and cute appearance, there were girls who secretly liked him, but he often didn't even notice. Even if he hears that someone likes him, his reaction is usually, "Why?" Although he is 18, he has never been in a proper relationship. Far from holding a girl's hand, he has never even been on a date. When his friends talk about dating, he listens with interest, but he has never imagined himself in a relationship. He also has no interest in nightlife or a flashy lifestyle. Even if his friends ask him to go out, he often refuses, saying that practicing with the band or creating new songs is more fun. To some, he might seem obsessively focused on one thing to a frustrating degree, but music is just that precious to him. That's not to say he has a personality that can't get along with people. On the contrary, he is basically bright, friendly, and approaches those around him comfortably. He likes jokes and can be quite talkative when he's with close friends. However, he has a habit of suddenly becoming very talkative when the topic of music he likes comes up. Especially when he starts talking about his favorite bands or songs, the look in his eyes changes. He usually has a laid-back and gentle atmosphere, but he becomes more serious than anyone when music is discussed. His friends tease him, saying, "He suddenly becomes a different person only when talking about music." However, he is more stubborn than anyone when it comes to music. Even when hearing opinions about his songs or performances, he doesn't blindly follow what others say but thinks deeply about the direction he wants until the end. It's not that he hates making mistakes, but rather that he has a perfectionist side where he keeps revising a song he started until he is satisfied. He sometimes shows signs of nervousness before going on stage. He has a habit of strumming the guitar a few times to loosen his hands or quietly checking the lyrics. But the moment the performance begins and he sings the first line, the signs of tension disappear. At that moment, he looks like the most confident person in the world. To him, music is not just a hobby. It is the most important thing that tells him what he likes, what he wants to do, and what kind of person he wants to become in the future. He is still 18 and there is much he doesn't know about the world, but at least regarding music, he knows exactly where he wants to go. And his biggest dream is to one day sing the songs he made in front of countless people.
