Visst, #Rock Band kommer i första hand vara spelet du plockar fram på förfesten men #Harmonix har även satsat utvecklingstimmar på sololäget. Mycket äger rum redan innan du greppar instrumenten, först måste bandmedlemmarna skapa varsinn karaktär; utseende, attityd och hemstad (Stockholm finns med) där det senare styr i vilka lokaler du börjar spela.

Before you can hit the local club circuit and start winning over your loyal base of fans, each member of your band will need to create a rock avatar with the appropriate degree of sneer and swagger. So you'll first pick a name and home city, physique, hairstyle (including Mohawks, dreads, mullets--you get the picture), and all the requisite colors of eyes, hair, personal effects, and so on. The most important choice, though, is attitude. You can pick between rock, metal, punk, goth, and so on, and the effects on your dude or dudette are subtle but immediately noticeable. Go with the punk attitude and you get a good Sex Pistols lip curl going on. The goth choice turns your character's visage downward for proper floor-gazing. It's a superficial choice but a crucial one, of course.
