Characters - Flipside

Flipside is the hip-hop duo's rapper. He raps, he beatboxes, he is every inch the frontman, the ladies man... or so he thinks.

Flip is a hyperactive man child who is uber-ambitious. His brain rattles along at the speed of light, never stopping to consider the consequences of his actions, never looking back. Flip lives in the moment, running on instinct and bravado. He reacts, and never thinks. He'll jump out of the plane, and then realise he forgot to put on the parachute... or is that Ollie I just saw dropping from 20,000 feet?

Flipside wants the cars, the bling, the women, the money, the respect, the attention, and the adoration - it isn't that Flip thinks he's a star; he already knows he's a star - and he's just waiting for everyone else to catch up. Consequently, he's impatient, and frustrated. He has the talent, he just doesn't have an outlet for it (or, at least, not the one he thinks he deserves). He wants success, and he wants it yesterday. He's desperate for the lifestyle that he sees B-ICE enjoying; by rights that should belong to him and Trexx!

When he can be bothered, Flip is a postman. It's a job that fits well with his lifestyle, because the work pattern doesn't get in the way of band business in the day or the evening. An occasional drawback when Flip tries to impress the honeys out on an evening out is that he has to be in bed by 9.00pm because of the early starts.
