Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born and raised in Kalester, The Maritime Union, his childhood didn't go so well. He attended at the local school trying his best to fit in, but not only he felt out of place, he also kept getting bullied from an unknown reason even himself couldn't understand, losing so many valuable belongings. The only thing to cure such pains was being alone listening to music. The beauty of songs and lyrics had inspired him to learn an instrument. According to him, he began with an acoustic guitar.

The cover of their debut album, (The)Scariest Childish Mind, was based from a random picture taken at school by the young Homer.

Along with his few close schoolmates he formed the rock band named The Phobia as to counter his fear he developed. Although his skill was very new unlike any others, he became some kind of a band's thinker.

After all members graduated, the band regrouped and started performing at bars in Kalester and then moved to Arcwood - mostly covering hit songs. Only a couple years later they eventually got to sign the contract from the major record.

Employment

The Phobia

At the time, many rock songs was made for the masses: the radio-friendly pop rock always dominated this genre. In order to be outstanding, Homer and the band must not cared for the numbers.

And so it was - their first few albums were highly praised, with the lyrics provided by Homer, and a strange chioce of instruments and production that no other rock band didn't risk taking. Some of them topped the national chart as well as in several countries across the globe including the Sungear Republic, the biggest of its kind.

Nevertheless, international fame came with a cost. Exhausted by those world tours, the band went on a short hiatus to relax and work on other projects.

Solo Career

During the hiatus, he practices more unfimillar instruments such as piano and drum. He even did the recording songs his session, but it was only demos just to prototype the concept. He also performed gigs, took part at music festivals, or sometime picked his old guitar and play around his favorite cities like Arcwood, Sungear, as well as his hometown Kalester, gaining lots of local reputation and respect.

During that time also mean writing more songs and his solos albums were released, mostly about his wandering and experimenting in sounds. By the time The Phobia regrouped, more materials were ready to be used.

The Moment Homer Became Tougher

The most famous thing he had been known other than music was something that'd have been called the miracle. It was twenty years ago. Homer was a headliner on the Obsedia's annual music festival. He took off from the Sungear International Airport, estimately to be there in two hours.

On arrival, The weather was very wet and foggy. The plane was shaking while attempting to land. With a miscalculation, it passed the runway by miles and crashlanded onto the nearby field. Heavily torn and exploded, it resulted about 300 passengers and crews fatalities - only 20 survived.
According to the arriving rescue team and news reporters, Homer seemed to able to walk away from his seat with no external scars at all fnding the others survivors. He even posed himself to one of their photographers before being carried into an ambulance.

Homer on the News by Adcheryl and Artbreeder

Hospitalized for three days, he was fully recovered - physically, as he then suffered a memory loss. He didn't know who he was or everyone around, only thing he still remembered was his finger muscle memory. His repaired guitar became a tool to recovery his past. It worked so effective as the melodies changed from an unrecognizable sound, to what that could be heard on a radio.

He came out of hospital a couple of weeks later, and what he did next was to write songs thanking everyone who gave supports and believed in him.
The media started to nickname him "Homer the Iron Bones". He felt uncomfortable at first but then embraced it after many years, saying it sounded funny and resonated with him somehow.

The first album since the band's hiatus, Unpredicted Cycle, is influenced by Homer's plane crash experience.

A Doubtful Regeneration

His recovery speed were questions by some journalists. Rumor had it that he may used a restricted hi-end expensive treatment, since he was moved from the Obsedia Hospital to Sandman General Hospital in Sungear, where it was only available. Homer responsed that it wasn't true at all, the hospital had not enough gears to support.

What about his temporary memory loss, one of its common symptom? A statement from the hospital told it's caused by a short trauma upon crashing, not the recovery treatment as being cited. Nevertheless, he never disclosed why his net worth was dropped by millions, a few months prior to the accident.
