 | Subject: Crossroads Sign Ups and Character Profiles  Fri Jul 03, 2009 3:57 am | |
| Title: Crossroads Genre: Modern Location: Detroit(the location moves from time to time) Progress: Still accepting Type of Quality: 4 lines minimum Rating: PG13 Story: The teenage life, based off their on thoughts and influences. Music, a large influence on their outlook on life and their personality. Some even start their own band and get famous when they're older. The RP takes place in Detroit to begin with, where a couple friends have decided to start their own band and play music. They have their own instrument they like to play and style of music that they enjoy. If the band you create becomes famous, great, if it sticks to small town concerts, still great. How your band does depends on how you interact with your friends and people hired to help. It's up to you whether you're famous or not. Or you help those become famous. Rules: -PM me your character info. -There will be no music, you can say that your band played this song but don't put anything like the lyrics or tabs on the IC (to avoid copyright and such), which means actual shows will be around 2-3 posts. Most posting will be based on interaction with the media and friends. -No god-modding(being extremely good at your instrument so you take over the stage or attract all attention to yourself. It's a team thing, a we not an I. Everyone can't be automatically really amazing at guitar or something, it take pratice and experience) -Little romance(not so that couple problems go on stage) -Your style of music you like probably shouldn't clash with someone elses.. (Like a person who wants to play rock and another in the same band wanting to do country or something like that) -You don't have to be an instrumentalist. There are other roles that need to be filled. People who help the band set up and advertise and such. -There should not be any "strange instruments" (saxophone, trumpet, etc.) -Your character can know mutiple instruments, but keep it limited to a minimum of 2-3 otherwise it's confusing. -Only 4-5 people in a band please excluding backstage people. Your characters will end up touring together if famous to avoid confusion. (yes, that means you can come up with a band name) -There are several instruments I will allow without question. They are the: guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals, piano/keyboard, rythym guitar. (Possibly more) Character Template: Name: Age:(between 13-19 please) Gender (Female or male) Personatily (at least a few lines like pros and flaws) Hometown:(should be at least somewhat near Detroit) Instrument: Style of Music: Extra imformation: Apearence: (Picture or description) Character Profiles This will be seperated later once people sign up. (You'll have to communicate with others to get them in your band, shouldn't be hard) (I'll make a discussion thread so you can get people to join your band.) -- - Spoiler:
Name: Seth Windham Age:16 Gender Male Personality: Pros - Writer, Poetry, good at English Literature. He had nothing to do at home and only owns a small crappy computer so he puts his energy in "cheap" passtimes, such as pencil, paper, pens, paint, a canvas and art. When happy, can be outgoing sometimes (with people of same interests) and uses that to inspire some creativity, and likes to shoot hoops (is only good at basketball). Cons - Gets offended easily, takes things too personally. A bit obsessive in detail, and in friendships and relationships. A very sleepy person who is late often, and ditches people because he may sleep in, too tired from a part-time job and playing music all night. He ignores important things that don't appeal or make him angry (such as exams, tests...etc). Lack of teamwork (especially team projects). Hometown:Detroit (because I don't know any cities near Detroit) Instrument: Keyboard (Saxophone in band class) Style of Music: Goth-Rock (Evanescence and Within Temptation types ^_^) Extra information: Just broken up with his past gf a month before the present day, and it was very bitter with her "playing" with him and leaving him for someone else. And then she blabbed and told all her friends (and his) about it in secret to protect her own image (smashing his). Bitter, he starts to put all his anger in his music, and caught some bystander's attention. They told him he's good, so he decided that maybe "this is it." But without enough practice or music lessons, his skills are a bit rough since he has to work. Most of his music skills were learnt from playing the Keyboard and the sax in his school band playing classical music. The worst in his class in terms of keeping up and stayin in rythm, but when he plays alone it doesn't sound that bad, good even. He can freely express himself in music and that's where people notice his creativity. Appearance:

Name: Alicia Age: 16 Gender: Female Personality: Pros- Usually Kind and amiable, hardworking and she is good at math. Alicia loves smiling although most of the time its fake. She is deeply devoted to the drums. Cons- Her emotional stability... is not good, with no confidence, easily angered which turns into tears, and noted as a big cry baby. Her mood changes a lot from happy to sad. Her athleticism is out of the question, and very hesitant on many things, also being shy, and sensitive. Alicia is also bad at lying and has a tendency to tap her nails on hard surfaces when nervous. Hometown: Detroit (o_O;) Instrument: Drums Style of Music: Alternative Rock (Slipknot, Coldplay, Skillet, My Chemical Romance<3, Linkin Park) o_O..... Extra information: Alicia grew up in a wealthy family where everything had to be perfect. Though, ever since she was born, she couldn't speak. After countless surgerys, it all failed. Both her parents grieved, they didn't see Alicia as their own child anymore, or give her sign language lessons. Growing up without love, Alicia... wasn't such a sunny happy person. That was until one day, she heard music, outside her window. It wasn't those classical music like her mother listens to, it was one of those exciting, rhythmy musics.. To her surprise, she liked it. Everyday she could listen to it admiring the band. One day, she sneaked out and crowded around the band. The instrument that she loved the most, was the drums. Alicia just loved the sound of it. When she finally saved money for herself, Alicia immediately went to the closest music store and began her drum lessons. Of course it took lots and lots of practice, even till now it may not be the best, but she is getting there. Alicia told herself that one day when she got good enough, she would join a band. -Ah, also to communicate with others, she carries a notebook with a black marker- Appearance:

Name: Trent Gates Age: 16 Gender: Male Personatily: Trent is a more broad-minded, pessimist who doesn't like much. Can say he's kind of antisocial. He'd rather spend a day inside with his bass then outside or something so called "productive". He's annoyed by a lot of people due to their ignorance and overall their happiness and stupidity. Hometown: Detroit Instrument: Bass and Rythym Guitar Style of Music: Rock and Emo. (Avenged Sevenfold, Ministry, Tool) Extra imformation: Trent was raised by a middle-class family, who didn't offer him much to work with his life, so he earned money through his job to buy a bass, because music he thought, was his life and blood.

Name: Chase Scarret. Nickname: Scar Age: 19 Gender: Male Personality: Pros- Great with ideas, had a amazing voice, charismatic, calm, collected and "cool" (plays it cool, stays cool under pressure). Cons- Lazy, disorganized and too relaxed. Even with big pressure or in critical life-threatening moments, he is too "cool" or relaxed. His brain shuts off and he just stares without life, unable to perform any actions. Has a huge fear of failure due to lost of confidence. Injury to arm makes it hard for him to play for too long so he gave up. With no direction in music anymore, his voice wanders to sound "normal" or unnoticable. Hometown: Detroit Instrument: Guitar Style of Music: Rock, mainly that, with small branches of pop-rock. Extra Info: general Can't see through to his ideas to the end mostly cause he has lost interest, or the workload is too much. This is the downfall to his career when he is younger. He fell hard when he risen high. Now his fear of failure is really great he has never dug himself out from the rut. Knowing enough in which he has broken into the industry at least for a short amount of time, when he sees passionate, hardworking and talented musicians, he will aid them in ways that doesn't include him playing any music because of his own broken dreams, and his injured right arm that will never move the same. He has other means to help, that is if he can. Things don't turn out his way anymore. recent past He did not go to college after graduation, and concentrated fully on his dreams into created a band, rising quickly, even signing a contract with the Triple Threat Records in the end of that year. They had it nice, until his other band members and himself got too full of themselves, then after abusing their money and status the nights before their big concert, they crashed and burned, the fans caused a riot because of their anger and expectations, then he himself got injured, his good right arm. Embarrassing the industry, and themselves, they were fired and banished, no industry wanted to sign them afterwards with that terrible performance and disappointing reputation. Now they disbanded, and separated. Appearance:
