John: Between Scripture and Snare

Rachel: il suono grave dell’indifferenza urbana Character

Note: John is a fictional character created for the universe of “Rahab Punkaholic Girls.” This blog post explores his dual identity through a fictional lens, blending themes of theology, rebellion, and sound.


Chapter 1: The Desert as a Cradle

John was born in a small oasis village, surrounded by sand, silence, and scripture. His childhood was shaped by the stillness of dawn prayers, the heat of philosophical debate, and the distant echo of drums played on rusted barrels by older boys.

He was a quiet student, always the last to speak but the first to listen. He loved questions. Not answers—questions. Why do we suffer? What is divine justice? Where does music go when it ends?

“The desert teaches you to be still. But it also teaches you to endure.”


Chapter 2: Day Job—Teacher of Thought

By day, John is a teacher. He lectures on literature, history, and ethics. His classroom is calm. His tone measured. He doesn’t yell. He guides.

Students say he’s too serious. But when he smiles—rarely—it feels like the sunrise.

His blackboard has chalk dust and scripture references. His desk has a Bible and a broken drumstick.

“Education is not the opposite of rebellion. It’s its foundation.”


Chapter 3: Night Shift—Drummer of Rahab Punkaholic Girls

But at night, the classroom fades. The theology rests. The drum kit awaits.

John is the rhythmic spine of Rahab Punkaholic Girls. He doesn’t play with finesse—he plays with need. His style is precise but punishing. Every hit is deliberate, like a gavel slamming down divine judgment.

On stage, he barely speaks. He lets the snare talk. And the snare says things that scripture cannot.


Chapter 4: Faith in the Age of Noise

John’s faith is not performative. It’s private. Deep. Constantly interrogated.

He reads the Bible like a punk zine. With questions in the margins, exclamation marks over contradictions. He prays not for peace, but for clarity. He doesn’t wear a cross—he carries it, in rhythm.

“Even prophets had breakdowns. So can I.”


Chapter 5: Not a Contradiction, But a Code

People ask: how can you be both? A man of God and a punk drummer?

John answers: because I have to be. One side keeps him thinking. The other keeps him breathing.

He’s not a contradiction. He’s a dual system. Faith feeds fury. Discipline feeds chaos.

“My right hand teaches history. My left hand breaks snares. Balance.”


Chapter 6: The Sound of Theological Rebellion

His drum solos aren’t solos. They’re sermons.

He doesn’t want applause. He wants resonance. When he slams the kick, it’s a question. When he rattles the hi-hat, it’s doubt. When the cymbals crash, it’s revelation.

John uses sound the way monks use silence—to reach what words cannot.


Chapter 7: NFT as a Testament

Like his bandmates, John’s work lives on the blockchain.

He’s released layered drum-only tracks as NFT pieces titled Liturgy 1, Confession Loop, Monastic Rattle. Each one is a sonic journal of his spiritual unrest.

Some contain quiet whispers layered under the snare—biblical verses spoken in reverse.

“If scripture was written today, it would be encoded.”


Chapter 8: Controlled Chaos

John is not wild. He is structured rage.

He counts every measure. He builds every fill with intention. Yet the emotional weight of his playing is staggering. He doesn’t lose control—he lets you feel what control is barely holding back.

That’s his power. Not freedom—but restraint at the edge of rupture.


Chapter 9: The Monk in the Moshpit

He’s often called the monk of the band. While others thrash and scream, John sits tall, shoulders square, expression blank.

Yet his presence commands. You don’t watch him. You feel him.

He is the ritualist of rhythm. The priest of pulse.

“Every strike is a syllable. Every song is a scripture.”


Final Chapter: The Drummer Who Prays with Noise

John isn’t here to save you. He’s not a preacher. He’s not a rebel. He’s something in between.

He’s the beat beneath the anger. The stillness within the riot. The breath before the scream.

He is fictional, yes. But in a world that fractures belief, John is a reminder: faith isn’t the absence of rage. Sometimes, it’s the fuel behind it.

“I don’t believe to be pure. I believe to survive.”
