{"name":"Rockerboy","intro_text":"[p]If you live to rock, this is where you belong. As a Rockerboy, you\u2019re one of the street poets, the social conscience, and the rebels. With the advent of digital porta-studios and garage music mastering, every Rockerboy with a message can take it to The Street, put it in the record stores, or bounce it off the comsats. Sometimes, your message isn\u2019t something the Corporations or government wants to hear. Sometimes what you say is going to get right in the faces of the powerful people who really want to run this world. You don\u2019t care, because as a Rockerboy, it\u2019s your place to challenge authority, whether in straight-out protest songs that tell it like it is, playing kick-ass rock n\u2019 roll to get the people away from the TV sets and into The Streets, firing up the crowd with speeches, or composing fiery writings that\r\nshape the minds and hearts of millions.[\/p]\r\n[p]Rockerboys have a proud history that includes Dylan, Springsteen, U2, NWA, the Who, Jett, the Stones \u2014 the legions of hard-rock heroes who told the truth with screaming guitars or gut-honest lyrics. You have the power to get the people up; to lead, inspire, and inform. Your message can give the timid courage, the weak strength, and the blind vision.[\/p]\r\n[p]Rockerboy legends like Johnny Silverhand, Rockerboy Manson (for whom the Role is named), and Kerry Eurodyne have led armies against Corporations and governments. Rockerboys have exposed corruption and brought down dictators. It\u2019s a lot of power for someone doing gigs every night in another city. But you can handle it. After all: you came to play![\/p]\r\n[quote]They\u2019re not chanting my name in giant concert halls yet, but I\u2019ve got fans, and I don\u2019t have to compromise my message for anyone.|Forty, Rockerboy[\/quote]","lifepath":"[container:wide-cols][container:section][h4]What kind of Rockerboy are you?[\/h4]\r\n[table][tr][th][roll:1d10][\/th][th]Type[\/th][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]1[\/td][td]Musician[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]2[\/td][td]Slam Poet[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]3[\/td][td]Street Artist[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]4[\/td][td]Performance Art[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]5[\/td][td]Comedian[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]6[\/td][td]Orator[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]7[\/td][td]Politico[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]8[\/td][td]Rap Artist[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]9[\/td][td]DJ[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]10[\/td][td]Idoru[\/td][\/tr][\/table][\/container]\r\n[container:section][h4]Have you split with a group?
