Gil'Askan presents Gothic Role Model Profile vol. 2-
Grey DeLisle
Born Erin Grey van Oosbree, Grey DeLisle is a name I decided to bring up because she's a great goth role model who (while passionate about music) primarily does not work as a musician.
Growing up, Grey lived with a drug-addicted mother, but Grey has never fallen to drug addiction of any kind. Grey was a fan of goth-bands (notably, the Cure, Joy Division, and Einsturzende Neubauten) for most of her teen years, but in her late teens, also grew interested in old Americana, Gospel, and Alternative Country music. Her mother eventually kicked the habit and became a born-again Pentecostal Christian, which also influenced Grey's musical tastes towards Gospel and Hymns.
At the suggestion of a friend, Grey tried her hand at stand up comedy, which led her towards a career in voice-acting, which is now her primary vocation. Grey Delisle is one of the most successful voice actresses working today, nailing major roles and earning high praise for her naturalistic, nuanced vocals. Some of her major roles include-
Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender) Mandy (The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy) Vicky, plus numerous smaller characters (Fairly Odd Parents) Frankie Foster, Goo, various smaller roles (Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends) Sam Manson (Danny Phantom)
Besides her career in voice acting, she has become a very talented and reasonably successful alternative country musician. Drawing heavily from her studies of older Americana (i.e. pre-1900), she's created a brand of very authentic alt-country, with occasional modern, gothic sensitivities. While music isn't a full time profession for her, her passion for the art and craft of music drives her to write and record on her own, even when there's no serious profit.

In short-
- Goth since her early teens - Never fell to drug addiction, despite a family history - Successful worker with consistent job opportunities - Praised within her industry as one of the most talented voice actresses today - Creative and productive in her spare time

Gil'Askan presents Gothic Role Model vol. 3-
Doc Hammer & Lisa Hammer
Another pair of goths worthy of role-model status, Doc Hammer and Lisa Hammer will be named separately for a specific reason. The two Connecticut natives first made waves in the goth scene as the classic third-wave goth sensation of the 90's, Mors Syphilitica. Working under famous goth label Projekt, the two were one of a number of husband-wife duos in 90's goth. Though they did eventually divorce, the two remain close friends (Lisa even retaining her married name), working together to this day. While Mors Syphilitica was a fun project for the two of them, it isn't either their primary vocation.
Lisa Hammer (born Lisa Houle) is a mind behind film and television. Graduating from Emerson College with a BA in film, Lisa went on to found a modern studio inspired by German Expressionism. Lisa is the mind behind such cult hits as Pu$sbucket and Joanie4Jackie. Lisa has also worked with public access television in New York City, and has won awards for some of the programs she has produced.
Doc Hammer (born Eric Hammer) is more multidisciplinary, and very successful in all his ventures, no pun intended. Doc Hammer has become a cult figure for being one of the two creators behind the Adult Swim hit The Venture Brothers, and to this day, acts as the editor, one of the primary writers, and a voice actor for the series (Lisa also drops by to provide a voice or two in the series). Hammer's involvement is likely the cause of all the numerous goth references dropped in the series, but it may only be speculation. Doc Hammer is also a successful painter (primarily in oil) who is currently exhibiting in SoHo, New York City. To add to it all, Doc has also recently started a band named Weep which has just now released it's first album through Projekt.
In short-
- Goth icons of the 90's scene - Lisa a successful filmmaker, with the help of her former husband - Doc a successful TV icon, with the help of his former wife - Both very creative people using their spare time well - Both known for being very active with fans - Interesting tidbit: Both are practicing vegans
