Biography
If anyone bothered to ask Silvio about his life, he
could tell them how his mother and father met at
the Italian embassy in New Delhi. He could talk
about how the ambassador’s daughter fell madly in
love with the attaché for the Field Marshal of the
Indian Army, and how they married in Rome with
the pope himself blessing their union. He could talk
about the trip to Tanzania that took their lives, and
how he swam against the current of the Kalambo
river after the crash only to go over the falls. He
could talk about how he came to on a riverbank,
covered in mud and wrapped in vines. He could talk
about the years he spent communing with plants
as the legendary plant man of Tanganyika valley, or
the sea captain who took the feral boy in. He could
talk about the happy years on the fishing boat, the
terrible storm that ended them, or the days he
spent sustained by the sun, clutching a raft of kelp.
He could talk about drifting ashore in Hawaii, taking
shelter at a concert, or the roadies that mistook him
for a stage hand and invited him to the afterparty.
He could talk about learning bass from Lemmy
Kilmister, Robert Trujillo, and Geddy Lee.
Of course, why would they ask him?
He’s just the bassist.
Capabilities and Motivations
Deeproot can play a mean bass line as well as
grow and control plants, though those are the least
important things he does for the band. He breaks up
fights between members, keeps the fridge stocked
with the right kind of beer, throws out pizza boxes,
and knows how to get the Thai place to break out
real spices for Snare’s order. He’s the glue that holds
the band together, and like his name implies, there is
a lot more to him beneath the surface.
Upgrades
Deeproot’s control over plants, as well as his range,
has only grown over time. Now he can make them
stronger, force them to rapidly grow, and even
revive dead plants. As his connection with nature
deepens, he learns more and more about the
interconnection of all things.
