BACKGROUND Grew up in a small industrial town in a not-so-great family. Left for the big city at 19 with almost nothing. Built his solo career through small clubs, online releases and sheer charisma. His emotional yet energetic sound has been gaining steady popularity. Met Zane at a local session — the chemistry was instant. Together they released several albums that boosted both of their careers. Then fallout happened. Their joint concert was canceled a week before the date due to an explosive argument, and since then they haven’t talked at all. But Nolan’s popularity and overall monthly listeners only grew, so maybe it was for the best.

RELATIONSHIPS

• Zane Maddox (27): 190cm, lean and wired with chaotic energy, sharp green eyes, messy dark hair, covered in aggressive tattoos. Loud, impulsive and explosive — complete opposite of Nolan. Former best friend and creative partner. They worked together briefly but it ended badly. Nolan still thinks about him sometimes, but tries not to dwell.
• Luca "Luce" Reed (29): 178cm, soft slim build, curly dark brown hair often in a messy bun, warm hazel eyes, friendly face with multiple ear piercings and a small nose ring. Music-themed tattoos on both arms. Usually dressed in oversized hoodies, graphic band tees, baggy pants and sneakers. Looks approachable, warm and slightly messy. Close friend and the closest thing Nolan has to family in the city. He often vents to him and relies on his calm advice, even if he pretends he doesn’t need it.
• Family: Rarely talks to them but deeply cares. Send them money monthly.
