and finally, Ash, played by Juliana Gutiérrez Arango
Ash's fear: She has a recurring nightmare that a creature that looks and sounds just like her traps her somewhere and takes over her life. She knows it shouldn't bother her-it's just a dream - but it always leaves her screaming.

Cal, played by @erikaishii.bsky.social!
Cal's Fear: Hell. Cal tells themself they don't actually believe in hell anymore, not since they gave up the whole Catholic bag, but deep down, there's the overwhelming fear that when they die, they'll be forced into eternal damnation

Bremmer, played by @briggon.bsky.social
Bremmer's fear: Being deemed not worth the effort - if Bremmer were to say how he truly feels, or go after something he wants, or reveal one of his secrets, the people who love him would realize that he's too much work and leave him.

Jo, played by Erin Caesar!
Jo's Fear: Jo would say her fear is that she'll outlive everyone she loves-she's had to watch her grandparents and cousins lose children, and that seems like the worst possible thing that could happen to a person. But if she dug deep, she'd have to admit her real fear is dying before she's had a chance to do everything she wants to do. She's worried that the moment she goes from having fun to really caring, it will get ripped away from her.

first up, Ren, played by Nicholas Podany (as always, all our character art by @noahdeaart.bsky.social!)
Ren's Fear: being left by the people he loves most; specifically, his friends realizing that they're all much more talented, intelligent, and capable than he is and deciding to leave him behind

Meet Ash, the newest member of Phantom Pulse, on the keys

Ash is kind, but she doesn't know the truth about the band. And they may not know the truth about her either

Ash will be played by Juliana Gutiérrez Arango! Our character art is by @noahdeaart.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/aty...

Meet Cal, the Phantom Pulse bassist

Always seeking more knowledge about the spirit world, Cal is whip-smart + playful, but their curiosity might be their downfall.

Meet Bremmer, the lead guitarist of Phantom Pulse.

Surly and reticent, there's a bleeding heart underneath that tough exterior.

Also secrets. A lot of secrets.

Meet Jo, the Phantom Pulse drummer!

Jo is a ball of unstoppable energy and a *bit* of an adrenaline seeker. Dying was the greatest thrill she'd ever experienced.

Ren, the band’s fearless leader, in both ghost hunting and music. He’s continually crushed under the anxiety of not being good enough and he's desperate to make the band successful.

and, finally, Ash will be played by Juliana Gutiérrez Arango! Here are the character's best and worst qualities:
Ash - Best quality: She's the person you can tell anything to-she'll meet every secret or confession with complete compassion and make you feel like you're not so alone. Worst quality: Has the tendency to bend to the strongest will in the room, even if it goes against what she really believes. She's still learning to speak her mind.

Cal will be played by @erikaishii.bsky.social! Here are Cal's best and worst qualities:
Cal - Best quality: They're incredibly competent in a crisis, the exact person you would want to call if you needed to bury a body. And once the crisis is over, they'l make you laugh. Worst quality: Can be incredibly stubborn and judgmental-they've got strong convictions and have a hard time seeing the other side when they feel passionately about something.

Bremmer will be played by @briggon.bsky.social! And here are the character's best and worst qualities:
Bremmer - Best quality: The biggest heart you'll ever meet he feels things so deeply that it subconsciously makes other people feel like they re allowed to do the same. While he's not forthcoming about his feelings, he also doesn't care what anyone thinks of him and loves to focus on other people, so those in his inner circle are given a rare and precious gift in leaning on his emotional depth and honesty. Worst quality: He refuses to believe that he is allowed to get the things he wants in life. He never speaks up about his desires, catastrophizing potential outcomes, which can be incredibly frustrating to the people who are trying to love him.

Jo will be played by Erin Caesar! Here are Jo's best and worst qualities:
Jo - Best quality: If she loves you, she will be the best cheerleader you could ever ask for. She believes in and supports her friends with a blind confidence that bolsters everyone around her. Worst quality: Despite her steadfast loyalty, she doesn't always think about how her actions affect other people-her tendency to see herself as the main character of every story can lead her to inadvertently hurt her friends.
November 9, 2025 at 6:23 PM

Ren will be played by @nicholaspodany.bsky.social! And here are the character's best and worst qualities:
Ren - Best quality: Will do absolutely everything for the people he loves; the most loyal person you'll ever meet. Worst quality: Thinks he knows best and has no problem making unilateral decisions without consulting anyone on their feelings about it first.

Part of building the world of Phantom Pulse has been diving into the archives of fabulous 90s zines like Punk Planet. And maybe we've had a little fun imagining what might have been written if Phantom Pulse were real...
"a xerox of a page from punk planet that includes a paragraph reading, "" Then there's PHANTOM PULSE - a newish band that hasn't actually released a record. They've been around the under ground circuit for a year now, but the big news of the day is that they're playing a show at The Clover next month. Normally not all that note- worthy, but those that are in the know will remember the last time they played there. August '93, there was some kind of power surge at the venue and all four of them were electrocuted on stage. Yowza!!! Thankfully, they were all fine (after a bit), but The Clover definitely got egg on their face. Probably why they feel like they should give Phantom Pulse a headlining slot, despite not being very established. If I were them, I'm not sure I'd go back, but if you want to catch them, that's August 2nd, a year to the day they got those shocks. Good luck, guys! Stay away from loose cables!""""a xerox of a page from punk planet that includes a paragraph reading, "" Then there's PHANTOM PULSE - a newish band that hasn't actually released a record.
