Unlike all those other bands with their complex origin stories, GKS was brought together by a single passion: Free beer. Gragas runs the local bar and said he’d give people free drinks if they provided music, so the band was born. Graves and his friends collectively came together to form Graves and the Kill Stealers, a cover band that does Rock’n’Roll.
Members:
Graves: Bass guitar Graves got to name the band because he had a van that could fit everybody, and that made him de facto leader. Don’t ask me, that’s just how it works. Graves plays the bass guitar, something he picked up when he and his wife were having kids and he thought most kids music was dumb. So he learned the guitar purely to play “good” music for his kids. His in-game appearance is a wife beater and jeans, with his gun turned into a guitar that just happens to have a gun barrel on either side of the neck. His basic attack and ability sounds have been replaced by guitar chords.
Zilean: guitar Zilean never really got out of the hippie phase. He’s the kinda guy that most of the adults don’t like because he’s the black sheep of the family who smokes weed and tends to talk politics too much (he believes in reptoids controlling the government). He played the acoustic guitar back in the 60s and likes to say “I’ve still got it” whenever he finishes a song. He doesn’t really want the drinks, he’s kinda just hanging out with everybody because most of his actual friends are in jail for either possession or disturbing the peace. In game, his hair and beard are heavily unkempt and he’s wearing Rastafarian gear, including a beanie. He carries an acoustic guitar, and upon speed boosting someone he plays a little guitar riff. When he successfully ults and saves someone, he says something about not making war.
Braum: Keyboard Braum is one of those guys who absolutely swears by CrossFit. He’s been doing it since college and is probably the healthiest of the group, though zilean still complains about him eating meat. He only really picked up keyboard recently, but he absolutely loves it and the band and gets very angry when people aren’t happy. He’s been in multiple fights with audience members. Braum has a keyboard instead of his shield, and holds it in front of him as his E. Enemy attacks that hit it will make a note. His Ult is slamming down a massive keyboard whose keys jump up to knock people up.
Jayce: Lead vocals Wait a minute, you’re probably saying. Isn’t jayce too young to be in this age group. To that I respond: yeah. But free drinks transcend age or social group. Jayce is a college student who often jokes about how the entire female audience is there to see him (braum doesn’t like this.) He is the singer for the band and often gets sh*t from the other members because he doesn’t play a real instrument. In game, Jayce’s staff is a microphone on a stand, and he puts it upside down in hammer form to whack people with the base.
Udyr: drums Everybody’s pretty sure udyr doesn’t actually know how to play drums, because he doesn’t use drumsticks. He literally just slaps/punches the drums. But he’s on beat most of the time and the sound is kinda cool (when the drums aren’t breaking,) so the other band members give him a pass. In game, drums punctuate his ability casts or auto attacks, with different drums for different abilities.
I hope you boys are ready for Worlds 2020, because I sure as hell can’t wait to hear their covers.
