DESCRIPTION

BAND LORE:

The indie rock band Amethyst planted its roots in 2000 when lead vocalist Harrison Morrey corralled four of his most talented friends from Blue Harbor University in the span of a year — Kaya, Roman, Antonio and Elijah. Antonio was the guitarist, third to join the lineup sometime between September and October of 2001. After Elijah joined later that year, all five bandmates became thick as thieves, spending almost every moment of free time that they had with one another to practice in Harrison’s family’s garage. Once they all graduated, they even decided to move in together; Elijah and Harrison shared one apartment, while Antonio, Roman and Kaya shared another closeby. This arrangement lasted for several years, playing local gigs around Illinois’ neighboring towns until luck landed them a professional record deal in 2006. They signed to a major label out in Los Angeles and decided to leave behind their humble beginnings for the city of angels, moving to California and spending the next thirteen years touring and making music!

TW FOR CAR ACCIDENTS, DEATH, HOSPITALIZATION, GRIEF. In June of 2019, everything changed. Amethyst were en route to the venue for the last stop of their world tour in Los Angeles when they all suffered from a gnarly car accident — Harrison, unfortunately, was the only one who didn’t survive. The others had varying degrees of injuries requiring hospitalization and specialized care, Roman being the most notable who was rendered unable to play bass again without the functionality of his right hand. In December of that same year, they decided that they could no longer move forward in their career as a band and posted their official disbandment notice on all platforms. Since that moment, none of the other members heard from Elijah (who cut contact and moved back to Blue Harbor as soon as he was physically able to, running from his grief). Roman, Kaya and Antonio were left to pick up the pieces of one another as they mourned the loss of two of their best friends.

Roman returned to Blue Harbor in 2023, leading to several messy confrontations with Elijah. At the moment, they’re both trying (and failing, because they’re both too stubborn to really try) to understand the motives behind one another’s decisions.

ANTONIO SPECIFIC / UTP:

Aside from all of the band lore mentioned above, everything else about Antonio is completely UTP! His full backstory, how he met Harrison originally, current occupation, reasoning for coming back to Blue Harbor, possible other connections, etc etc etc. Throughout their lives, there was a very interesting dynamic in play between the five of them where Elijah romantically had eyes for Harrison (who was straight), Harrison and Kaya had an on and off again fling for most of their lives, and Roman had eyes for Kaya who generally didn’t give him the time of day outside of friendship. Where Antonio fits into all of this is UTP as well — we’ve always joked that he was the most ‘unbothered’ out of them all but obviously, the more drama the better! How Antonio feels about Elijah’s actions post-breakup and/or Roman’s reaction is also UTP. 

In terms of personality, ‘unbothered’ is actually quite a good word to describe him. He’s the most lax member, the one with the ability to keep a calm and sturdy head amongst the common chaos of band life in LA. He had a real passion for the band that ensured he was loved by the general public, too! Of course, though, we’d love if you made Antonio your own so please don’t be afraid to insert your own vision wherever you can! Meaning personality is UTP, this is just a general outline for vibe if you’re stuck!

We have tons of silly Amethyst headcanons built up that we’d love to share, plus musings and such for inspo <3
