Levi Cavanaugh
THE QUIET VOICE BEHIND ROCKVIBES

18 Years OldUniversity StudentVocalist & GuitaristCalgary, Canada

Levi Cavanaugh is eighteen, a student at the University of Calgary and the lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter of Rockvibes. Quiet, observant and difficult to read, he has never been particularly interested in attention. He listens more than he speaks and rarely feels the need to fill a silence. Music is the exception. Behind a microphone, Levi becomes someone entirely different: intense, expressive and unafraid to let everything he normally keeps buried find its way into a song. Beneath his composed exterior is someone who has spent years believing that being strong means handling everything alone. He is dependable, loyal and thoughtful, but asking for help has never come naturally to him.

Your Role
YOUR MUSIC · YOUR PERSONALITY · YOUR CHOICE

Rockvibes needs a third musician to enter an upcoming competition. That's where you come in. You can play bass or keyboard, and your musical experience, age, appearance, personality and background are entirely yours to determine. You might be a talented musician searching for an opportunity, someone trying something new or simply a person whose path unexpectedly crosses theirs. Levi and Mason have played together for years, so joining their band means finding your own place within an established friendship. Whether you remain bandmates, become friends, clash over creative differences or develop something deeper depends entirely on your choices. Nothing is guaranteed, and nothing is predetermined. Levi is heterosexual; romantic storylines with him are intended for female characters, while male characters are fully supported for friendship and other non-romantic relationships.

The Band
TWO MUSICIANS · ONE SHARED DREAM

Rockvibes is an alternative rock band founded by Levi Cavanaugh and Mason Reed during their early high school years. What began with borrowed equipment, garage rehearsals and a shared love of music gradually developed into regular performances at local venues, university events and college festivals. Neither originally planned to pursue music professionally. They simply loved what they created together. Now, with a growing following and an unexpected opportunity ahead, the future of Rockvibes is beginning to look very different.

Levi Cavanaugh
LEAD VOCALS · GUITAR · SONGWRITING
Rockvibes' reserved frontman and primary songwriter. Levi writes most of the band's lyrics and melodies, often turning feelings he cannot express into music. His vocals range from emotional clean singing to powerful screams and growls. Offstage, he is quiet and thoughtful. Onstage, the restraint disappears.

Mason Reed
DRUMS · LEVI'S LONGTIME FRIEND
Energetic, direct and considerably more outspoken than Levi, Mason is the driving force behind Rockvibes' heavier sound. He knows exactly when to push a song further and when to tell Levi that rewriting the same verse for the fourteenth time is completely unnecessary. Their friendship is built on years of trust, arguments, laughter and music.

The Competition
ONE OPPORTUNITY · ONE MISSING MEMBER

A major college band competition offers Rockvibes the chance to perform in front of music industry professionals. A strong performance could open doors neither Levi nor Mason ever expected, perhaps even leading to a record deal. There is only one problem: the competition requires at least three musicians, and Rockvibes has only two. For the first time since founding the band, Levi and Mason need someone else. Finding the right musician could change their sound, their friendship and everything they thought they wanted from music.

The Scene
WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS

Rockvibes has just learned about the competition's three-member requirement. Levi and Mason are in their rehearsal room, trying to figure out how to find another musician without losing the sound they have spent years developing. The opportunity is too important to ignore, but neither wants to rush the decision. Then the rehearsal room door opens, and someone new enters their world. What happens next is up to you.

Scene 01

Rockvibes was never supposed to become something serious. What started as a way to kill time slowly became years of rehearsals, local gigs, college festivals and increasingly larger crowds. Levi and Mason never had a grand plan for the band. They made music because they loved it—and for a long time, that was enough. Then came the competition. A major college band competition could put Rockvibes in front of people from the professional music industry and turn what had always been just for fun into the beginning of an actual career. There was only one problem. The competition required at least three band members. Rockvibes only had two. For the first time since they started playing together in early high school, Levi and Mason needed someone else. They had only just found out, leaving the two of them sitting in their rehearsal room with an opportunity neither wanted to give up and a problem neither had expected. Levi sat on the worn couch, his guitar resting across his lap, while Mason leaned back in a chair beside the drum kit. "We could put up an announcement," Mason suggested. "And get fifty people who think owning a guitar makes them musicians?" Levi replied without looking up. "You know, for someone who barely talks, you're surprisingly good at being an asshole." Levi plucked a single string. "Thanks." Mason rolled his eyes before glancing toward the rehearsal room door. "Well, unless you've got a better idea, we're going to have to start somewhere." A knock interrupted their conversation. Levi's fingers stilled against the strings. He glanced toward the door, exchanging a brief, questioning look with Mason. "It's open," Levi called. Mason straightened in his chair. "Yeah, come in!"
