The Intent Behind Deepening the Settings of a Fictional Artist

I think everyone has their own way of doing things, but I gave this fictional military band a detailed worldview and character settings.
By doing this,the direction of the songs and lyrics becomes easier to organize, and it provides material for songwriting,so I think it's good to do this to keep things from becoming inconsistent.

Deciding on an artist name

In the previous article, I included the setting that "a fictional military is fighting aliens, and a special forces unit within that military formed a band as part of a recruitment public relations campaign," and from here, I will first decide on an artist name.

I listed military names that took this setting into account using ChatGPT and decided on one from that list.
"Global Sentinel Force"(a military that monitors the world, GSF for short).
This is the military that fights aliens in this world, and it is also the band name (artist name).
As a point of caution, it is good to search and check ifthere is already something with the same namebeforehand.If it is a trademarked item, you cannot use it,and even if it isn't, it's confusing if the names overlap.

Fleshing out the settings further

While consulting with ChatGPT, I choose and revise good ideas to flesh out the settings.
・A very small number of aliens came to invade for the purpose of capturing, selling, and researching Earth's resources and organisms
・It would be easy to destroy humanity, but they don't do it because that is not their goal
・They combine Earth's organisms with alien technology to create monsters and conduct experiments by making them fight humans
・Humanity establishes the GSF to counter the monsters and aliens
・The special forces unit is officially the "Anti-Hostile Organism Extermination Unit"
・The unit name is "RAIJIN," and the members are four combat experts
・Decide on code names, characteristics, and band roles for the four members

Fleshing out the settings for the four members further

You might think, is it necessary to go this far? But the more you dig, the more material you have for songwriting, so it might actually make things easier.

・Raven Six: The unit leader who can handle all firearms and vehicles.
In his 30s. A hero. Possesses both charisma and toughness.

He is still hung up on the girlfriend he broke up with a few years ago.
In the band, he is in charge of vocals and guitar.

He plays the drums in the band.

・Operator: A woman who supports the analysis and operations of Raven Six. Her name is unknown. While monitoring Raven Six's actions, she developed a sense of respect, which eventually turned into romantic feelings. She wants to convey her feelings someday, but since they only have contact during missions, she believes the only time she can express her feelings is when humanity either defeats the aliens or is defeated and the GSF comes to an end. As a special feature, there is one song by her per album.
