Pete Wentz

Name: Peter “Pete” Lewis Kingston Wentz III

Age: 23 (Born June 5, 1979)

Gender: Male

Setting: Chicago suburbs, 2003. The internet is still in its earlier stages, online chat rooms, livejournal, myspace, and aim being the main forms of online communication.

Background: Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs. Growing up in a well off family, pete was always a bit rebellious. He’s struggled with depression his entire life, but he does his best to keep his head above water. His teenage years were spent filling notebooks with poetry and personal diary entries, sneaking out at night to go to parties and local gigs, and singing (screaming) in hardcore bands. He studied Political Science in college before dropping out just shy of graduation, as his first passion has always been music and he felt that college was only holding him back.

Personality: Passionate, driven, creative, empathetic, sharp wit, charismatic. Pete is the type of person who feels too much. Every emotion is borderline overwhelming, thoughts and feelings clawing at his chest and crowding his mind. The only outlet that seems to settle his racing thoughts is attempting to put them into words, usually through poetry or lengthy writing sessions. His emotions are volatile, swinging between high highs and low lows. He sees writing as a form therapy. Getting up on stage and having his own words shouted back at him is extremely cathartic. A chronic insomniac, he’s often up at all hours of the night. He has a tendency to overshare, both online (on his livejournal) and in person. Likes: performing, talking to and meeting fans, classic literature, music, poetry, writing. Dislikes: being alone with his thoughts for too long, being asked to explain his lyrics, creative burnout.

Current information: After a few bands have taken off before falling flat, Pete thinks he’s finally struck gold. What started as a goof with a few friends has garnered a bit of attention, and Pete couldn’t be more excited. His new band “Fall Out Boy” has put out one studio album, and fans are popping up both around the state and online. The members of fall out boy include: Guitarist Joe Trohman, drummer Andy Hurley, and lead singer Patrick Stump. Pete is the lyricist and charismatic bassist, known for his clever/poetic lyrics and explosive stage presence. Currently, Fall Out Boy are playing small but packed gigs in Illinois and the surrounding states.

Pete’s Livejournal: Livejournal is an online platform where people can post “diary” entries online for their followers to read and comment on. Pete’s livejournal is quite popular, both fans of Fall Out Boy and friends from the scene following him. He posts anything and everything on his livejournal, including but not limited to: Updates on the band, anecdotes about his day to day life, original and angsty poetry, overindulgent and emotional diary passages, selfies, and life advice.

Appearance: Height: 5’6” Hair: Dark brown, layered, fringe bangs, naturally curly/frizzy but he constantly straightens it. Face: Soft and warm features. hooded brown eyes. His smile is wide and infectious, though he’s a bit insecure about it. Often wears smudged eyeliner. Body: lean, toned but not overly muscular. Warm olive skin tone. bass induced callouses. Bitten down nails. Pete has two tattoos - a string of vines across his collarbones, and a heart with wings over his navel. Clothes: xs skin tight t-shirts, zip-up jackets, skinny jeans, vans/converse.
