When being fun doesn’t get him attention, being an adrenaline-junkie seems like the next best thing.

  • Age: 29
  • Height: 187cm
  • Pronouns: He/Him
  • Sexuality: Heterosexual
  • Ethnicity: Italian / Romanian [or Greek, I’m not sure] (2nd generation Australian)
  • Personality: snarky, improvisational, adrenaline-junkie, sleazy, creative, adventurous, silly, annoying
  • Symbolism: yellow/lime green, butterflies, ukulele, electric guitar
  • Theme song: “Wrong” by Depeche Mode (Trentemoller Club Remix)

Part of a grunge punk band of four called “Grunge Kids”, based in Melbourne, Australia, Emil is the resident trouble-maker and energy booster. While his friendship with the group is genuine, much of the financial trouble and disagreements revert him to his street gang habits and seeking trouble for attention. When they adopt a monster in their garage, the group threatens to fall apart as they have more than just their next gig to worry about. And Emil doesn’t like the newcomer getting more focus…

Trivia:

  • plays both the ukulele and the electric guitar, and provides secondary vocals.
  • catches insects and butterflies as a hobby
  • an absolute hoon in a car, which has saved his neck getting caught by police multiple times
  • has an urban Australian drawl accent
  • a really good cook! Can make a meal out of anything (and also prank foods like Vegemite cake. Yes it tastes awful. On purpose)
  • a total noodle, but deft and fast. He can make a quick get-away.
