Romeo and Juliet, but it's gay. Also, is a thrasher and a glam rocker.

You may!

Basically, two dudes, a thrasher and a glam rocker, fall in love despite their subgenres being at odds with each other. This leads to a secret relationship while they try to get their friends to chill out about it.

Thrasher: Someone into thrash metal (eg, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, Overkill, Exodus, etc)
Glam Rocker: Someone into glam rock or glam metal/hair metal (eg, KISS, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, Poison, Bon Jovi, WASP etc)

It mostly comes down to a preference in subgenre, though thrash and glam in particular have a weird history of hating each other one decade (you can find a few photos of thrashers with shirts that say "No Posers" with a caricature of a glam dude, usually Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue, in the 80s) and being at best chill and neutral towards each other.

Would you mind if I take the glam rocker? I have a character I've been wanting to flesh out a bit.

Yep! I'll put up a form for us too

Name: Kane Carter
Age: 21
Pronouns: he/him
Appearance: Kane has wavy, strawberry blond hair that falls to his midback, fair skin, and blue eyes he often lines in shades of red and black. He's tall and willowy, and he had one bandmate jokingly describe his soft, round face as "cherubic" and never lived it down since. He dresses mostly in pleather leggings (usually from the women's section, but you get a death glare if you mention it) and tattered, cropped tank tops. He also has abnormally sharp canines, which he actually adores.
Band: The Riot Act
Instrument: Bass
Personality: He likes to pretend he is a loud, cocky, angry asshole. He will wait around for the perfect opportunity to fight with someone- verbally or physically. He doesn't like letting other people in much, but if you somehow manage it, he's an insecure idiot with a heart of gold and a mean protective streak. He is also incredibly petty, and has been known to pull down show flyers for the bands of people who've somehow pissed him off.
Likes: Music, booze, his bass, writing, late nights, arguing, his bandmates, coffee
Dislikes: Mornings, thrash, writer's block, his face without makeup
Other: Aries, also he LOVES disco but he WILL die before he admits it. If you dig through his record collection for long enough you'll find the ABBA records.

Name: Kirean “Ean” Roeen
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance-
Band: The Screaming Goats
Role: Lead Singer
Eyes) Green and Hazel. His Green eye can change from a lighter color to a slightly darker color biased on his health. When he’s healthy, it tends to be slightly darker, but when he’s unhealthy, it’s slightly lighter.
Hair) Black and whine, but not salt an pepper. He has genuine white spots in his hair, but it’s mostly black.
Skin) Light golden color, but again with the white spots dusted on his skin.
Height) 5’6”
Weight) 148lbs
Body Type) Thin and Lean
Personality: Ean has always been introverted, preferring to be on his own in his room, or outside on a nice day with his books. He’s soft spoken and almost never raises his voice above a whisper. He never has the heart to be rude to anyone, no matter what they do and finds himself in awkward situations when someone’s being rude to him and he just smiles, dips his head and says nothing. This usually put people off, and they would leave him alone.
He has a big heart, and will forgive anyone at the words ‘I’m sorry’. He’ll do this with anyone, even with people who have used this to manipulate him, always wanting to believe in the best of people. He also has a weak spot for hurt things, animals and people alike and will put himself in danger to save another.
He can be socially awkward and quiet, even for himself, sometimes he gets a stutter and doesn’t speak clearly. This doesn’t happen often, and really only happens when he’s uncomfortable or embarrassed.
Likes:
- Food; He loves eating, and has taught himself to be an excellent chef after everyone vanished.
- Physical Contact; This one’s probably strange but almost any sort of physical contact (hugs, snuggles, hand holding, light shoulder bumps, etc.) are welcome and makes him feel more at ease, even more so if he knows the person very well.
- Music; He’s a Jack of all trades when it comes to music, educating himself about all genres, but his particular favorite it Thrasher. . . When he knows it’s going to be played, that is.
Dislikes:
- Sudden Noises; He’s never liked them. Just never liked them, okay?
- Sudden Movements; This dude is a little on the paranoid side and anything sudden can shock him, he’s not afraid of them, but they shock him and he’ll jump slightly.
- Water and plain food; He loves flavors, so he usually picks up water flavor packets for when he drinks water.
Hobbies:
- Cooking; He love to cook, as who else will make him his food?
- Bottle Collector; For some reason, he collects bottles. Glass only.
- Counting Time; Not only is it a hobby, but it keeps him sane.
Talents:
- Acrobatics; He’s naturally good at them, and he’s highly flexible.
- Singing; Though he doesn’t do it often, he can sing pretty well and it comes naturally to him.
- Cooking; He’s grown rather good and fond of the act.
Fears:
- Strangers; For some reason, he’s not just shy, but he’s downright afraid of new people. But the longer he spends time around them, the more comfortable he becomes.
- Meeting other people; He’s been alone for so long, he’s forgotten what it’s like to have the quiet company of another human being, even though he’s very lonely, he dreads having to meet someone, if they’re out there.
- The Dark; I wanted to throw something basic in there.
Conditions-
Mental) N/A
Physical) N/A
Background:
Other: He has a dog named Bojaq.
The Screaming Goats, are not a great band. Ean Carrie’s the whole band with his vocals, which are some of the best out there. Ean has been given chances to go big and leave his band behind, but he’s always opted to stay with his friends. Commitment is commitment, and Ean is not crazy about being famous.

He sounds great!

Would you like me to start?

Kane smiled as he made his way to the bar, laughing and chatting with one of his bandmates, still slightly sweaty from their set. It was a busy night, and a good show. He leaned against the bar, watching his bandmate order some shots.

Ean was already sitting at the bar, his face turned towards a young woman. He had an easy grin on his face, his eyes looking at her as she said something to him. His body was turned slightly away, his heels propped on the lower bar of the stool. One of has hands was wrapped around a glass filled with a light, transparent amber liquid. He laughs softly, his fingers tapping on the bar. He murmurs something to the woman, causing her to laugh and lightly push his shoulder and she snips something back at him.

((It's okay, shit happens))

Kane chuckled as he recognized the liquid in the shot glasses. "The usual procedure?"

"Start with tequila-"

"Work our way down to water!" He finished, grinning as they linked their arms before downing the shot.
