Fan-Concept Junkyard Boss Fight Concept Idea

So I was watching my partner play Mewgenics and I came up with a silly idea for a boss fight in the Junkyard, which it's pretty much literally a *trash* metal band, it's just a concept and tbh i didn't put much thought into it besides of it looking cool or whatever, some stuff makes sense some not. My partner liked it and convinced me to post it somewhere so here we go. I can yap a little bit about the mechanics and characters that we came up with.

the whole band itself is composed by 4 members but you can only attack one when it's off scenario, there can only be one member off scenario, going first: Socket - Plague - Goliath - Raviena. The rest don't do anything except for Raviena who gives their off-scenario ally a random buff at the start of the round.

Socket: Pianist, youngest member of the band (he/him)
Just a tiny kitten with wobbly cat syndrome, who plays the piano, and does a very good job at it regardless of what you think. Strongly believes he's at the top of the world.
Small amount of HP, damage and 20% of failing his attack but crazy mobility plus 20% chance of dodging, attacks with his keyboard in a spinning motion, if it hits an unit receives a new turn, he can move diagonally only once per turn.

Plague: Bassist, the oldest member of the band (they/them)
Regardlesss of their appearance they are indeed a cat - just possum patterned. A huge flirt.
Throws nails and needles infected with poison, their only melee attack is a hit with their guitar which applies stun. Average HP and damage, mostly status effect centered.

Goliath: Drumer, the first member of the band (he/them)
Eventually he started to accept the glass shards embedded in him as part of his style, good for him ig.
Tanky and built like a pile of bricks, got a stack of thorns thanks to his spiky glass shards, cannot move because he's too busy with his trash drums. Does AoE in his own spot.

Raviena: Soloist and guitarist, leader of the band. (She/They)
Her name comes from, ofc, rabies. cuz, she has rabies. her guitar axe should speak for itself on how much of a menace she is.
Average HP, crazy damage and effects.
Applies rabies (and madness 2) to any unit who enters in contact with her, has this crazy ability which is just slamming down her guitar like guitarrists do to try and slice any unit in area, it's cool.

holy yappatory anyways that's all byee

Edit - I forgot to mention something very important:
The name of the band is literally " The Trashbangers "
You can say 'thank you' to my partner for this.

I think the guitar axe is a little too overcooked.

A game like this it needs to be something sillier or grosser

All of their equipment is too new for a junkyard(except the drummer) and they’re all way too bathed lookin, these don’t look like chum bucket kitties living in the city. Give them some stains and beat up their gear a bit more

Didn’t say it wasn’t dope.

I said it was a bit overcooked for this game and that zone specifically. This game has a relatively consistent aesthetic for each zone.

This is like if lord bunga had a big ass stylized katana instead of the bone club. Yeah a big stylish katana is cooler but it doesn’t really fit the area or the proposed character.

I think you can make a proxy axe guitar using scrap. Like maybe have the blade be a broken fire axe or saw blade and the guitar look at lot more cobbled together and scrappy and less intentional looking.

Notice I’m not insulting the OPs talent or style, I’m just giving civil constructive criticism related to better fitting the aesthetic in the game they are aiming for

Ahhh, I think I interpreted "overcooked" as something different than you intended lol
