The Raincoat Boyz! (Characters)

## Information

The Raincoat Boyz are a local rock band duo in London. They are easily recognised by their classic yellow raincoats. The band consists of the 2 members Kevin Vincent and Richard Wright. Since 1999, they have been creating music with Kevin's love for rock and Richard's love for the piano.

## Appearances

The Raincoat Boyz have identical raincoats, skinny jeans, and sneakers. Although, they have some differences. With their shirts, Kevin wears a green undershirt, while Richard wears blue. They also have different hairstyles. While Kevin likes his hair messy, somewhat long, and black, Richard likes to keep his combed, short, and brown. Kevin also wears a teal beanie while Richard doesn't wear anything.

## Description

The two polar opposites met each other in high school. They were in a bitter rivalry until Mrs Larson told them to get along. Since then, they have been closest of friends, even if they don't get along or have different point of views. As Kevin says, “it's the teamwork that comes to play.” The group was supposed to have 3 members, which included Stephanie George, but she declined as she said she would ruin the name of the Raincoat Boyz if a girl joined. The Boyz offered her to be their producer, which is the field she currently works in.
