Ghost History Class:
This is a revision of my last breakdown. Being Nameless Ghouls you can't tell who is who and its frustrating as hell. I had a lot of help from @unholykazoo but I think I nailed it this time. So, there are 4 Ghost Era's, one for each album.
Era #1: Opus Eponymous
Oct. 2010 - Aug. 2012
Papa Emeritus or Papa Emeritus i and the Nameless Ghouls. They wear an all black uniform with hoods. No masks or alchemic symbols. They changed to an all white uniform with a sharp featured mask, but had to throw it out for obvious reasons.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lead guitar {Fire}: far stage left/ white guitar with small triangle sticker on pick guard/ scampers and makes naughty gestures with his fingers/ average height & build/ thick accent (2010 - )
Rhythm guitar {Ether/ Quintessence}: far stage right/ black or black and brown guitar with Omega sticker/ STOMPS all the fucking time HARD/ average height/ thicker build/ accent/ wears thick banded rings (2010 - )
Bass guitar {Water}: upstage center/ white guitar with no symbol/ a bit shorter/ slimmer build (2010 - 2011)
Bass guitar {2nd Water} same white bass guitar/ can't really tell them apart (2011 - )
Drums {Earth}: upstage right/ average height/ average build/ piercing blue eyes/ noticeable accent (2010 - )
Keyboard {Air}: upstage left/ stands at the keyboard [uncommon]/ HUGE he's the tallest/ devil horns with his fingers/ always standing ominously in the background (2010 - ) [i know that's prob not Air in black but that's as good as it gets]
Era #2: Infestissumam
Dec. 2012 - Sept. 2014
Papa Emeritus II is a mean looking son of a bitch. The Ghouls kept the same idea from the white uniform, but went with black instead. They now wear their alchemic symbols to give us a break.
Tumblr media
Lead / Fire: starts being referred to as Alpha primarily to counterpart Omega.
Rhythm / Ether: starts being referred to as Omega primarily because of the sticker/ ALSO called Quintessence
Bass / Water #2: (- 2013)
Bass / Water #3: black bass guitar/ tall/ huge hands (2013 - 2014)
Drums / Earth #1: said in an interview he likes to play songs where he can flail around because it makes him feel flamboyant
Keyboard/ Air #1: still intimidating AF
Era #3: Meliora [the Grammy]
June 2015 - Sept. 2017
This is where things get dicey. There are small eras that make this era. This is the Popestar tour under Papa iii. He wears full Papal robes and a black and white suit. His ghouls went for pants too, changing their uniforms to tailored tunics and statuesque demon masks (my favorite). There was some ugliness and the band broke up and it gets complicated, but i have pictures:
June 2015 - July 2016:
Lead / Alpha: got his hand tattoos in 2015/ wears rings now
Rhythm / Omega: (- 2016)
Bass / Water #4: Teddy bear physique/shorter/ would hold his arms straight out and sway side-to-side (2015 - 2016)
Drums / Earth #2: so so small/ hooked his sticks on his horns/ tossed them into the audience/ didn't like his cymbals being touched/ just a shit ass in general (2015- )
Keyboard / Air: introduces Keytar
Kazoo: Papa iii
Popestar Tour: Sept - Nov 2016
Lead / Alpha: (- 2016)
Rhythm / Aether #2: Teddy Bear/ black guitar without Omega symbol [Water #4]
Bass / Water #5: First Lady Ghoul/ so very small/ called Mist
Drums / Earth #2: (- 2016)
Keyboard / Keytar: (- 2016)
*AFTER THIS TOUR ALL GHOULS REPLACED*
Popestar pt. 2 "New Ghouls on the Block": March - Sept. 2017
Lead / Fire #2 [No longer Alpha] my fav Fire/ same height as #1/ thicker build/ scampers/ energetic/ finger guns all the time/ perfect/ nothing on his hands or guitar
Tumblr media
Rhythm / Aether #3 (2017- ) [No longer Omega] thick boy/ rings on middle fingers/ bracelet on left wrist/ JUMPER/ plain black guitar
Tumblr media
Bass / Water #6 (2017- ) small stature/ huge stage presence/ whips head around/ almost kisses Fire #2 on the regular
Tumblr media
Drums / Earth #3: (2017) big guy/ that's all
Tumblr media
Keyboard / Keytar: Air #2 (2017) nicknamed Chair/ he sat like a traditional keyboardist/ shorter/ Teddy bear physique
Tumblr media
Era #4: Prequelle
May 2018 -
This era is lead by Cardinal Copia. This is where the theatrics kick in and new ghouls are introduced as well as a new Papa and Sister. This is the first album written without an original band member. Ex-members also filed a lawsuit against T. Forge and his cover was blown. So, here's our current Ghouls AND Ghoulettes:
Tumblr media
Rats on the Road: May - June 2018
A Pale Tour Named Death: Oct. - Dec. 2018
Lead / Fire / Dewdrop: (2017- ) as Water, filled in for Alpha when he was injured during Era #3 because he's crazy good and knew all the songs on bass and guitar/ is a Fire but called Dewdrop + Dew primarily because he is so small and a former Water/ still insane/ licks guitar picks/ finger fucks his own mouth and runs his hand down his chest/ stomps/ bullies Aether with love
Rhythm / Aether #3 / Forearms: (2017- ) same Aether that ended Era #3/ BEEFY guy/ we spell it Aether instead of Ether to differentiate/ rolls sleeves up after intermission/ jumps A LOT/ best buds with everyone/ gets bullied by Dew/ peace sign fingers/ holds up left foot at curtain call so he ends the show "on the right foot"
Bass / Water #7 / Rain: (2018 -)tall and thin/ bashful and sassy/ ASS WOBBLER/ was left to be raised by his crazy uncle's/ called Rain because he's a Water and fell down (like Rain) backstage
Swiss Army / Multi-Ghoul: (2018- ) (new breed) upstage right/ plays: acoustic + electric guitar, sings, tambourine and 'plays' saxophone as Papa Nihil/ dances the entire time/ darts around messing with everyone/ wiggles/ has an ass that won't quit
Drums / Earth #4 / Mountain: (2018- ) called Mountain because he is an Earth and very tall/ thin/ stoic/ poor baby sweats A LOT because he goes hard/ drumming demon
The Ghoulettes / Tall + Karen / Smol + Pam / Mom's: (2018- ) Tall shreds the Keytar/ Smol sings like an angel and plays tambourine/ both play keyboard and love us
Extra Information: When Copia was introduced the Papa's were all still alive. We met the patriarch of the Emeritus family, Papa Nihil or Papa Zero [plays sax], and his lovely counterpart Sister Imperator. They got together and killed Nihil's sons for a fresh start.
