Characters

Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is a concept album. This album has a loose storyline to it and has characters. Each of the band members played a character. Gerard Way (frontman) played as Party Poison, Ray Toro (backup vocalist and lead guitarist) played as Jet Star, Frank Iero (rhythm guitarist, backup vocalist) played as Fun Ghoul, and lastly, Mikey Way (bassist) played as Kobra Kid. Some of the other characters that weren't played by the band are Korse, The Girl, Show Pony, Dr. Death Defying, and the Draculoids.

The story for this album follows the story of the fictional characters, The Killjoys. It takes place in Post-Apocalyptic California in 2019. In the story, the Killjoys are fighting against this evil corporation called Better Living Industries (BL/ind.). The main story takes place between the 2 music videos for the album. In Na Na Na, The Killjoys are basically just living their lives with The Girl. Towards the end of the music video the Draculoids (part of the corporation) start giving them some trouble. At the very end of the video, Korse and the Draculoids (again both from the corporation) end up kidnapping The Girl. This story continues in the next music video, Sing. This music video starts off with the Killjoys driving in a car. On the dashboard of this car is a picture of The Girl. They are looking for her. They end up arriving to her location, which is the corporation's base. They all walk in and they find her. Party Poison gets her while the others fight against the corporation. Once Gerard gets the girl, he starts to fight the corporation too. The Killjoys all end up getting shot in the end. There are more music videos for this album but the story does not end up continuing through these.
