== Main Group ==
=== Rott the Hawk ===
Rott the Hawk, known as her civilian name Kath, is the lead singer and guitarist. Her fans know her either as a romantic or a rather depressed young woman. Her music can best be described as a post-grunge type with soft rock ballads. However, she does love a good heavy rock song or something a little more bombastic from time to time. She generally plays the lead guitar and usually an electric guitar, but she is well versed in acoustic since it was the first guitar she played. Her voice when singing can be described as operatic with a rural tinge. Very rarely, however, she will sing with a higher softer voice since the former doesn't allow her to hit high notes well.
=== Dive the Kestrel ===
Born as Teal, Dive is the bassist of the band and secondary front man when Rott lets her take over as a lead singer in certain songs or the two have duet together. Teal is more modern compared to the rest of her bandmates and prefers electronic indie tracks as well as alt indie. She's also versed with the guitar, besides the bass of course, but moreover the rhythm guitar than a lead guitar. Her singing voice is higher pitched and sounds more youthful. Most of her fans describe her voice as 'whiney' but in an endearing way. 
===Ripple the Heron===
Ripple, known outside the band as Jannet, plays the keyboards and on rare occasions when it calls for it, the synthesizer. She's generally considered the most attractive band member despite also being the wildest and most quirky. Ripple adores more joke type songs and anything that actually goes all out with various instruments. She also prefers techno and indie type of music, but of course loves to play alt rock as well. When she sings, she's LOUD and isn't afraid to change up the tone of her voice depending on what she's singing.
===Marrow the Bearded Vulture===
Marrow, who's also known as Rea, is the drummer of the band. Often overlooked by the band's fans for her general reserved calmness, she's also a bit of a romantic and loves love songs. However, all the love songs she adores happen to be punk and alternative with slightly darker themes. Out of all the girls, Marrow has the lowest voice which she very rarely sings with, but her fellow band members are impressed by it.
==Other Members/Backups==
===Gem the Condor ===
Gem, known as Nelinha, is the manager of the band ever since she hired the group to liven things up at her bar. She doesn't always show it due to her uptight and refined personality, but she loves the band whole heartedly. Gem also plays in the band every once in a blue moon, playing the cello when the girls require it for one of their songs. Her singing voice is more in tune with a true operatic voice.
===Dusk the Owl===
Dusk, known a Soliane, is another off and on-again member when the band needs a violinist or a second bassist. Being a real close friend of Gem has allowed the rest of the band to get to know a bit about Dusk, but they still don't know too much about. Still, the girls and her play well together which is why every so often they'll have her come on to play the violin or another bass for a song or two.
===Beat the Hummingbird ===
Beat, known as Bobbie, is a nonchalant and generally laid-back girl who's great with the rhythm guitar. She would've been the original guitarist of the band, but she's not a fan of the lead guitar all that much and usually leaves it to Rott. She's rather friendly with the rest of the band when she comes on to play.
===Gulp the Cormorant===
Gulp,known as Laraline, is an old, old friend of Jannet's when they were younger. The girl is only slightly younger than the heron and has a love of music just as much as her friend does. She's a backup member who plays the trumpet for the band whenever it comes to a song that requires one. 
===Reverse the Osprey===
Reverse, known as Sephora, is another friend of Jannet's from college. Both took music courses together and have been friends ever since. The osprey oftentimes helps Gulp with trumpet sections with the rare occurrence that the band needs someone to play the saxophone, her main instrument, for a song.
===Al the Cat===
While he can't exactly play an instrument, nor is he a bird or woman, he still had a brief period where he sang with the band - specifically duets together. He also DJed for them once and is willing to both sing and DJ again if the band ever needs it.
=="Rivals"==
===Smitten Kitten===
Smitten Kitten are friendly rivals of Octane Burnout, being an all-women cat band rather than being an all-women bird band. They know the group from the few times the cats came in to take over for the birds when they need a break and the rare occurrence of when one main member of Octane Burnout is visiting family/doing something else important.
=== Concrete Savanna ===
A hard rock alt band, Concrete Savanna don't exactly consider themselves to be 'rivals' of Octane Burnout, but the birds met them on the road and in more than one occasion have been in a 'battle of the bands' with the girls. As their name alludes to, the band is made up of African savanna plains animals with the leader, Vin, being a lion.
=== Pretty in Punk ===
Not really a punk rock or a rock band in general, but more so a pop band with an electropop and EDM leaning, they see themselves as more as friends of Octane Burnout than any type of rival if only due to the lead singer's, Olivia's, close relationship with Jannet.
=== Crypts N Canines ===
A band that Octane Burnout has let open for them on more than one occasion. The birds don't know too much about these teens, but both bands are friendly enough towards each other - especially since the dogs are newer on the scene. The band is punk rock/alt rock
===Fido Frequency===
Not really rivals, but Octane Burnout likes to humor the teenagers and often takes them off on front lining their smaller shows. Rott is aware Jarell is a friend of Thea's which is why the hawk is equally friendly towards the German Shepherd, who has no idea the hawk and cat know each other.
==Albums ==
Octane Burnout has several albums from across the years the band has been together.
=== Octane Burnout: Thoughts on God===
An ethereal sounding track produced by the band with the general theme being about spirituality, questioning a higher power, and generally about the strangeness, bitterness, and beauty of life.
===Octane Burnout: Divine Machine===
A more Rott centric album, the album has much less of a theme but more of a story told over the course of the track that parallels Rott's past about her love of Ingram, move to the city, the loss of her lover, and moving on from the event and accepting it.
==== B-Side: Spiraling====
Spiraling is a B-side made between Divine Machine and their next album. It's made up songs that couldn't make it to the main album such as when she met the rest of her band and even the time she was embittered by others after the death of her formerly only friend.
===Octane Burnout: Love in War ===
An album that's essentially about fighting to keep a love alive and all of the hardships that come with it in spite of the passion. The album ends on a bittersweet note.
=== Octane Burnout: Wings of Change===
An album that doesn't have a clear theme, but disjointed themes of love, losing said love, and digging yourself out of whatever's holding you down. Most of the album is comprised of soft ballads.
===Octane Burnout: In the Gilded Sun===
A sequel album to Thoughts on God, Gilded Sun is equally ethereal sounding with a lot more spirituality but is much more questioning of said higher powers of the first. It's central theme is of finding yourself in the craziness of reality.
===Octane Burnout: Burning Passions===
A much more rock heavy album, the track's theme is slightly disjointed but most of the album is a story from the point of view of someone who's being manipulated in a relationship but is powerless to stop it until the final songs of the album.
===Octane Burnout: In the Sick of It===
Less heavy than the previous album, but still rock centric. In the Sick of It is an album that's main story is a slow burn relationship where both partners know the relationship is inevitably going to end, but both are trying to enjoy it while it lasts.
=== Octane Burnout: Steam-Powered Soul ===
=== Octane Burnout: Drowning in a Downpour ===
