Likes: Beauty and fashion, being the center of attention, decorating, gardening, listening to Ted's poetry, his personal spa time, ... himself XD

Dislikes: People who lick the boots of "the norm" and conform to it, judgmental assholes

W.B. Rose was born in upper-class London and at just a few years old, it was apparent that he was super flamboyant. He was into dolls, makeup, and fashion. He was very heavily picked on as a kid for this and his parents weren't amused by it either. He was never detered by others' judgement nor wanted to fold into what others thought was "normal" - he actually grew somewhat resentful to conformist idealogy. At the time, little Jeff - who was a few years younger - was the only person who didn't ridicule young William.

As W.B. got older, he became quite the musical and theatre junkie and became very passionate about the arts. This also made him realize he was born to be on stage. He had a natural charisma and was knew how to make an impression. In high school, he was the star in the plays he performed in, then right after, he attended in a fine arts university.

After graduating from university, he came back to Jeff who was just starting to leave home. Jeff had his own ambitions in being a musician and was skilled in playing the guitar. Together, the brothers formed an underground 60s-esque rock duo called "Roseate Tones" and performed at local venues throughout the London area.

One night at a bar, two acts were set to perform; Roseate Tones, and a mysterious skeletal poet. When they performed, it seemed like each party had mutual admiration for each others' work. Impressed by the skeleton's lyrical mastery, W.B. approached him to give him his praises. The skeleton thanked him and introduced himself as Ted-Pete, then complimented W.B. on his voice. After a nice, long chat, W.B. asked Ted if he wanted to work alongside him and Jeff - after all, they were all trying to build up a career, so why not work together? Needless to say, Ted agreed and it paid off! Ted became their official songwriter and Roseate Tones slowly but surely became more and more well-known.

Oh, and eventually W.B. started dating Ted - they mutually understood their rough upbringings and fell in love which each other. Really nothing much to say about that, but it is relevant to what happens next (currently they are married c:).

Things became a bit different when they were moving to America.where my AU takes place. My setting is based on New York because... that's what I know ;P W.B. and Jeff were having their creative differents and it was putting strain on both their career and personal relationship. Ultimately, they decided to go on their own seperate ways before anything could esclate to a toxic degree (Ted stayed with W.B. of course).

While W.B. had a decent time as a solo artist working with new friends he made in America, there was something... missing...

He met a young adult student who was aspiring to begin his own career (Wacky) and essentially became his mentor and then started to sing alongside him. Oh, and later, then two extraterrestrials literally landed in his backyard. Appearently W.B.'s melodious voice lead them to Earth, what a guy! Though shocked about what he witnessed, he was swiftly enamoured by the groovy vibes the duo had. He offered the two a roof to stay under on Earth for as long as they needed to stay... which turned into living with him and Wacky and Ted once they formed the Sunshine Lovers together.

W.B. today is seen as the dazzling singer who gives the band a ton of a flare. He always knows how to put on a show and plans absolutely everything out - though he can be quite a perfectionist, whether it be regarding his appearence, his outfits, or even music and choreography. He can be a very overdramatic prima donna, and if you upset him, he WILL be a sassy bitch at you. However, to anyone he is close to, he is an absolute sweetheart and constantly showers them with love and adoration. He's... kinda the mom-friend, haha! There's never a dull moment with him, as he is almost always on overdrive with his emotions and bursting with personality. Oh, and he's very flirtatious towards every consenting adult he meets (Ted does not mind this as long as things don't get weird without his permission... I imagine they're consentually non-monogamous), don't know where else to mention that, heh.

. Jeff is his brother in my AU!

. He has OCD

. His hair is naturally red (like, the bright red you see). His eyes are also naturually green, but he frequently wears colored contacts (mostly purple which matches his lipstick)

. Gardening is a hobby of his! He has a beautiful flower garden in the house's backyard. He mainly grew roses at first, but now he also grows flowwers that represent his bandmates.

. Another hobby of his collecting and restoring old dolls (fun fact - this was a nod to a real life friend of mine who I got to love W.B.)

. In an AU with a friend, he is the older cousin of a similar character from a very different rhyhm game ;D

. Headcanon voice - a mix between David Bowie and MIKA (why MIKA? uhhh blame overly specific injokes lol)

. He previously dated Wu Sheng back when he was studying theatre in university. Things ended up not aligning with personal schedules, sadly. They're still good pals though. .. this is based on a dream where I drew crackship art of them :P
