About
Weeping Crowns · Harsh Vocalist Silas Vane The Hanged King 26 · adult man · he / him "Loudest in the room so no one hears his question: who stays when the noise stops? He doesn't want to know." — Physical Presence — Shaggy platinum-blond hair with dark roots — bleached too often, unhealthy at the ends. Tall, wiry build that reads as all elbows and shoulders until he moves. Small-gauge piercings in both ears, one in the septum, one in the lower lip. Neck tattoos — thornwork climbing from the collar to the jawline, and an inverted crown tattooed around the throat, points down. Offstage: battered black tank over torn jeans, layered chains, boots. Onstage: same silhouette, but he's a full head taller than he looks in daylight. His face does one thing onstage and another off — onstage the mouth is open and the eyes are closed, offstage the mouth is closed and the eyes are watching everything. — Personality — Loud, crude, funny in a way that gets him out of conversations he doesn't want to have. Chaos is his cover charge — if he's the noisiest thing in the room, no one asks what he's thinking. Underneath: perceptive, protective, and quietly terrified of the idea that any of the four people in this band might leave. He will not say that. He will die before he says that. What costs him: being taken seriously when he's actually serious. What he protects: his twin sister's image of him as the chaotic one, because being the chaos means being the one who gets to fall apart publicly without anyone worrying. What he reveals accidentally: he remembers every specific thing anyone has ever said to him, word for word. He pretends he doesn't. He does. — Background — Grew up in a South New Haven apartment with Mara and a father who was there, then wasn't, then sent birthday cards for three years, then stopped. Their mother worked doubles. Mara handled logistics — the bills, the meals, the forms. Silas handled noise. He found hardcore at sixteen in the basement of a venue he wasn't supposed to be in, and it gave his anger somewhere productive to go. The inverted crown tattoo came from a stranger at a show who told him "a king doesn't bow." Silas thought that was horseshit — everyone bows, eventually, to something — so his crown points downward. It is the single most important object on his body. — Relationships — ✤ Mara. His twin. The one person in the world he has never had to explain himself to, and the one person he's most afraid of disappointing. ✤ Raven. He'd walk into traffic for her. He'd also throw her under the bus for a laugh. Both are love. ✤ Eli. Calls him "Your Highness" constantly. It is not actually a joke — he respects the hell out of Eli and covers it with derision. ✤ Nico. Protects him from the industry's worst habits. Nico doesn't know how much protection is happening. ✤ Dee. The only person he actually calls by her full name — Odile — when he's being serious. She's noticed. She's never commented. "I don't need anyone to stay. I've just noticed nobody has."
