Charles Lumberjack had lived the punk lifestyle since he was a young teenager and his father introduced him into the genre for the first time in the low-quality stereo that they had in the living room of that small flat on the edge of Akvar. Now, almost 15 years later Charles' life has radically changed, enjoying the view from his manor in Sandhora while partying non stop with the members of his very own punk band, where he is the lead singer.
Since its inception seven years ago the band was brought into fame for its good rythms and very controversial (and edgy at times) lyrics, which have attacked pretty much every nation in Khortos, from the crusaders to the alfalayist monks and from Eukelesia to Sabisia, to TUFLoK, to New Falkusia and even Sandhora itself, which is his current place of residence, and the royalties produced by these songs have ensured both him and his band a very comfortable living at the time that his songs play in the radios of criminals, edgy teenagers, sabisians, punks of all sorts and even police grunts as well. Some of his most known works are:
"Sabisian Vegan", the song basically describes a story in an environment that is a parody of the beliefs of the most radical Eukelesians depicting an unhinged imaginary scenario where human meat is served in sabisian restaurants like they're just snacks, with the main character, a Sabisian Vegetarian, fighting against the system
Said song would have been initially complimented by certain NGOs and most notably, by some sabisian officials. The band had expected it, and released "My family is your family", a song whose lyrics depict a conversation between a naive HED officer bootlicker under a cruel sabisian work camp official who has his family in a work camp, completely to the disposition of his superior, half this song is in sabisian, as the later mocks the HED officer
"The boys at Xurocorp" denounced the wild capitalist tendencies of the corporation that behaved more like an industrial baron than the friendly company it aims to look like. It also denounces their exploitation of workers in areas of the neutral zones and accuses them of benefitting from the famine. The song is told as if the singer was a drunk xurocorp executive boasting about corporate excesses and laughing about them.
"Free market Napalm" is a song denouncing weapon manufacturers and certain nations that promote this kind of exports, specially, he makes special mention of TUFLoK's gun policies and warmongery.
"Masks of victims, sons of executioners" is a song where he mocks the monks' stance as pacifists calling them out for not being any different than the crusaders a few decades ago.
"Welcome to NF" (read as in Welcome to Enef) is another one of his popular songs, this time about the Falkusians as he denounces many aspects of Falkusian society, from the racism against Sabisians to the abuses of the princes towards their "entertainment maids" and also the nation's conscription policies that sends poor men to die for those princes. The whole song reads, in an ironic tone, as a promotion for tourism, calling these issues as "features" of the country's experience.
"Terror Propaganda" was an ill-timed song about the situation on Cynamopha, as the song, with an overall chaotic rythm, depicts the burning streets of cynamopha as the different sides tried to survive in the town. There were in the song brief comments uplifting the CLF, and critically the song would have been released one day before Becky Rogers' actions releasing the virus, what would lead to his permanent exile from Eukelesia and the banning of his works, even if they are still present in the underground.
"50 billion aren't that many" is another song, this time attacking the Crusaders, and denouncing their weaponization of the virus on their favour, it depicts them as genocidal maniacs who believe that as long as they come out on top, "50 billion (deaths) arent that many"
Despite being wealthy enough to not have to, Charles worked during most of his life a job on the side of his music career, as, in his words "he'd be a fraud if he sang about inequality without having ever worked a proper job". His last employment was in FinBloc, where he was reccomended by a man of a very warm smile, however he'd be terminated after a massive quitting of the company's main departments following a forest trip planned by the smiling man. To be fair, Charles never had taken the job that seriously anyways - as the company had hired him only for his fame.
Charles discovered three years ago that he had leukemia, and six months ago doctors told him that he had to leave music and undergo chemotherapy or he was certain to die. Knowing that the treatment would leave him as a broken shivering shell for a small chance of living a bit longer, he decided to not undergo the treatment and simply enjoy whatever time he had left. He told no one of his impending doom, and seeing how he had no long-term prospects, he began to more fondly toy with different drugs, from heroine to Xufilerium to hash to crack, as he decided to spend the last months of his life rocking like there's no tomorrow.
However as time has passed and his death appears closer and closer, Charles is faced with the question of what is he really going to leave behind when he joins the club of the 27.
