FULL PERSONALITY.
QUIET;; Dieter isn't the loner type of quiet. He is more of the great-thinking-won't-share-anything type of quiet. So much has happened in his life and the majority of it is basically kept a secret. Even his band members have no clue. They just know he came from a fucked up background which helps drive their killer lyrics. Dieter is the one always sitting back and summing things up, wondering why life is the way it is. It is a drastic change from how he used to be, living life in the moment. However, Dieter still has fun.
FUN;; When in the right mood at the right time, he can be rather playful. He likes play fighting and just having a good laugh with all of the guys. He also likes to drink and party and that is starting to become a problem for him. Dieter spends most of his day faded so he doesn't have to think anymore because that's the only way he feels he can deal with life.
ADDICT;; It's hard to admit your problems and Dieter is the first to deny his while the voice in the back of his head is calling him a LIAR. He makes up excuses for addictions but either way you swing it, he is hooked on weed and depression pills. Neither of which was what he wanted to be hooked on. Weed just came with his surroundings and became a habit for him ever since he was about fifteen. It only got worse once he moved out and didn't have enough money to buy food so he would just smoke until he got exhausted enough to fall asleep for hours on end. You don't realize you are hungry when you are asleep. The depression pills caught up to him a couple years later when he was clinically diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and depression. However, now on top of those two things, he is starting to get a little too attached to the bottle, something he is trying to stop before it's too late.
SHORT TEMPER;; Dieter doesn't get mad at other people usually; he gets mad at himself. It's an on going internal battle that he is not able to overcome but could you blame him? He still can't live with himself with his friend's untimely demise imprinted in his mind. That leads him, along with other things, to strive for the best, which is being hindered by his addiction. If he can't do something right he gets frustrated and upset and that is when he has to walk away before he snaps. He always wants to challenge himself but it is hard to do that when he can't control his temper.
LOYAL;; Despite all of his flaws, Dieter is the greatest friend anyone could ask for. He has this need to be there and protect everyone he holds near and dear and while that seems a little obsessive he obviously has his reasons. He knows from a harsh experience how short life is and he is the type that doesn't take advantage of anything. He is grateful for everything he has, despite the fact of what he previously had to deal with to get where he is now. He is in Lovers Are Liars for the long haul and the last thing he will do is disappoint the group, especially when his only healthy joy is actually making music.[/color][/font]

FULL HISTORY.
papa was a rolling stone
Gregory and Joan met a long time ago at some bar. Such is the epic tale of every child with a fucked up past. Joan hadn't even known Gregory three hours before she had sex with him in a dirty bathroom stall at the bar. A few weeks later, to her dismay, she realized she was pregnant and the only possible father was the guy from the bar. Living in Los Angeles, she figured she would never see him again and that even trying to look for him was pointless. However, one night after work she went out to drink with a few friends and found Gregory there. Needless to say a heated argument ensued after he called her a slut and said it wasn't his kid. Joan got him to stick around, though, right up until the birth of little Dieter before Gregory left town without a word, never being seen again.
it isn't all sunshine in los angeles
Joan decided to keep the baby, falling in love with him as soon as she laid eyes on him. She felt it was the best course of action for her but she didn't realize how much of a struggle it would be. At just twenty years old, she was living by herself, raising a child on two jobs without a high school diploma. Life was hard and it wasn't uncommon that Joan would have to make do without just so she could feed Dieter and provide him with the necessities he needed. Luckily, Dieter was too young to remember the missed Christmases and the missed Birthdays because there was no money there to celebrate them.
Things got easier with time but it was never spectacular living. Dieter never got the luxury of having flashy clothes or being able to boast about something cool his mom bought him. All the money went to the bills and food and it was only by chance that Dieter was given an old acoustic guitar from his neighbor for free. Having nothing else to do a lot of the time, Dieter would sit curled in his room, strumming on the guitar and pretending he was a virtuoso, the next Jimi Hendrix as he sang along to old records.
if home is where the heart is then we're all just fucked
Dieter was doing well in school and he already started a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, i.e. smoking pot, playing basketball, and jamming out with his best friend Chris. Really, he thought he had a lot going for him but he was still the dreamer. He still imagined himself being a rockstar with his friend Chris, hoping that they would make some money so he could get out of Los Angeles and away from his excuse of a mother. Sure, Joan still worked, and still put food on the table but she was also bringing home scum of the earth and fucking them, causing more problems than she needed. It sickened Dieter to even look at his mother and what she was doing to herself that he was rarely home.
The night that he decided to come home was one of the few moments of his life that Dieter absolutely tries to bury underneath everything so he doesn't have to remember it. It was late at night and Dieter was already asleep until he heard his bedroom door open up. He woke up and rolled onto his back just to see Joan walking towards him, apparently wasted beyond belief from the way she stumbled. Everything told him to get out of there but it was his mother, no matter who she was. She got into bed with him, crying on his shoulder about how horrible her life was and how Stan (her last boyfriend) abused her. Really, it was things Dieter didn't want to hear but he attempted to comfort her. Before he knew it things went horribly wrong in a way that should never happen to anyone.
Dieter was raped at fifteen by his own mother.
young, alone, and on my own
Dieter still technically lived with Joan for a few months afterwards but he was always at Chris's place. Luckily, his friend's parents liked him or staying somewhere else would have been difficult. Although, he couldn't stay there forever and he refused to go back home, only daring to venture into the house when he knew that Joan was working. After talking to a few people at school about his living conditions, they put him in contact with a social worker who helped him get together a case to get emancipated. Soon thereafter Dieter found himself in court, pleading with the judge to sever the ties he had with Joan, explaining everything that Joan did but purposely forgetting the rape situation because he was so embarrassed. Eventually, Dieter got what he wanted and at the age of sixteen he found himself with a new apartment, living by himself.
living on the edge
While he lived in that little apartment, things got a little crazy on the weekends. Chris would come by with a nice stash of bud while Dieter continually stocked up on alcohol. Every weekend would be party time. They would get faded just so they could go to sleep and do it all over again. It was only that much better having Chris around because Chris made life tolerable. Chris read Dieter in the way that no one else could read him but he kept quiet about it. There was just a silent knowledge between the two boys and that was the way Dieter liked it. He didn't have to face "talking" about his problems because Chris already knew them all. Everything Chris did Dieter did so when his friend brought coke to him, there was nothing to do but try it. Basically, the both of them tried everything under the sun in moderation but the only thing that stuck was weed and booze, both of which they spent plenty of money on.
Despite all of the partying, every morning Dieter got ready for school and every night he came home to change clothes and went right to work. He wasn't even an adult and already he was cursed with such horrible responsibilities but he made it through. He did what he had to do to pay rent and he did what he had to do to get the grades.
Life continued like this for Dieter for a couple years until he found himself with a diploma in his hand, a sort of fuck-you to the woman who "raised" him.
it isn't the same without you
Graduation, the day of joy and celebration or partying as everyone in Los Angeles did. There was a huge house party up in the mountains and the whole senior class was invited. It was definitely where Dieter and Chris wanted to be so Chris borrowed his mom's car for the night and they hightailed it up to the party, laughing and joking all the way. It was a great party, full of booze and drugs and both boys got entirely wasted, a little too wasted for their own good. Most of the people who were too faded decided to stay the night but Chris swore he was good enough to drive so Dieter didn't argue. Who was he to argue considering he was too wasted to even think properly anyways? No one noticed the two leave so no one stopped them.
The boys got in the car and sped off. Everything was smooth sailing until they got about half way home and the roads became a little more winding. Chris was going just a bit too fast around one turn and suddenly they ended up flying into the metal barrier, making the car flip several feet down the road. Dieter still doesn't remember exactly what happened or how long he was in the car since he blacked out but he still wishes to this day that he never woke up. The only thing he can remember is the fact of the sudden feeling like he was sober and looking up to see Chris eerily, with blood all over the place. And he remembers trying to wake him up to no success. Dieter had to be in control and so he got out of the car, looking around in the dark for a cell phone that was previously in the car. About a half hour later he found it and called the police. It was too late and what started off as the best day of their lives ended tragically.
Dieter lost his best friend and he lost himself.
got to keep on living
After the funeral and seeing his friend so realistically in that casket was the end for Dieter. It became such a struggle to wake up every morning and face the silence within that apartment. He quit his job and he practically quit eating because he just didn't see the point anymore. Luckily, for him his landlord had a heart and gave him some time for him to get back on his feet before sending him an eviction notice in the mail to scare him into action. Dieter realized that he couldn't mourn forever and he knew that is Chris were there he would be beating the shit out of him for being so upset and so Dieter woke up. He got another job and went to the doctor's to get medication which was when he was diagnosed with depression and then later with bi-polar disorder.
While Dieter still drank and smoked and partied, the person that came out of that car accident wasn't the same. He didn't take everything so lightly and he stopped being the up-beat person of the group but he also stopped fucking around with his life. He decided to actually attempt to do something he loved with his life and that was music. Music was always a bit thing for Dieter and he refused to let his dreams go to waste, especially since Chris didn't get to reach his. He had to live for him and that was exactly what he did.
A few months more passed before Dieter met up with Jakob Vass, the previous singer of Lovers are Liars. They became quick friends and it wasn't long from that meeting that the band got together but just like everything else it was a major struggle to get recognition anywhere. Eventually they did something right because Down, Set, Go Records was knocking at their door.
fate comes into play
It was like divine retribution. Everything was just falling into place for Dieter. His life was finally looking up and he had exactly the creative outlet he needed to get out all of the pent up emotion. So when Neil Scott came to the group with a contract it was the best thing anyone could have handed Dieter and Lovers Are Liars. Unfortunately, shortly after they signed things started to go wrong within the band. The connection and spark that was once there was gone and it took a lot to realize that Jakob just wasn't into it anymore.
Jakob soon left thereafter and the rest of the guys continued to work on music until a new vocalist came into the light. While it isn't the same Lovers Are Liars anymore, it is a new beast... a beast that is really promising.
