This is in my solo thread, but just seeing if it gets more interest in the Group thread. Basically I'm looking o run a game with a group that are around each other all the time. They'd be jealousy plots, romance, blackmail and such between members. Some would be good guys, some would be bad guys and some would fall somewhere in between. This is copied from my solo thread apart from this paragraph, but any bit that implies a solo game just replace with a group game. The characters below are just sample characters. I would probably play the first guy in the character samples though just in case you were wondering. And hopefully I get some interest.

P.S. - This is a singing and dancing group, not a band.

I used to love S Club as a kid. Nowadays you don't get really cheesy pop groups anymore and there are hardly any mixed groups. What I'd like to do with a like minded partner, is create a pop group. We'd both create three people, me three guys and three girls by anyone interested in doing this with me. We would then write about how they formed the group, how they started their career, working at hotels or cafe's and then when they become famous and in the public eye.

There will be sex involved but I also want romance between members as well as stuff like backstabbing, cheating, tragedy and all manner of other things. I want this to be a story of friends/enemies, rises and falls.

This could be done with maybe more people if there's enough interest. And if there was interest I'd even be happy to do it using S Club and maybe doing our own Miami 7, Hollywood 7 and so forth.

So, here's to hoping that there is someone out there interested in exploring this with me.




CHARACTER EXAMPLES

Name: Romeo Jay Mitchell
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Talents: RnB Style Voice, Street Dance, Choreography, Producer
Personality: Confident and Determined. Romeo is used to getting what he wants but he doesn’t step on people to get it. A good leader willing to help others out whilst on his journey to stardom! He loves chilling with friends, and writing and producing songs.
Biography: Since he was a little kid, Romeo loved to dance, and was dancing as well as adults by the time he was 8. Discovered he had a good voice in a school musical at the age of twelve, and this made him realize he wanted a career in the music industry. Loves working with other people on music and performances, he’s made a lot of talented friends in his life. If one of those people make it, they may very well call on Romeo to help them with the career.

















Name: Michelle Suki
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Talents: Pop Voice
Personality: Sexual would be the best word to describe Michelle Suki. She has embraced the fact that men find her attractive and uses it to try and further her career. Dressing provocatively whenever she can, she loves male attention. Is a nice charming girl, but does have an underlying selfishness which makes sure she looks after number one. She can also be led by people if they promise her the world.
Biography: Was a child model, which then became a teen model. However she didn’t just want to be famous for posing in front of a camera. So she decided to become a Popstar so she could pose in front of cameras and sing.











Name: Ryan Jackson
Age: 22
Gender: Male   
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Talents: Musician (Guitar and Drums), Acting
Personality: Has a superiority complex and can be passive aggressive. Thinks he needs to fight the world to get what he wants, and thinks people are trying to hold him down. Will backstab someone if it furthers his ambitions! This all lies under a deceivingly nice persona.
Biography: Was told he’d amount to nothing by his father and bullied at school. This made him a bitter person and when he discovered his talents, he felt it made him better than people around him

TreyWalker

Potential Plot Points
•   Search for a manager, first romantic pairings.
•   Manager signs them (Manager played by me) to a harsh contract and makes them live together in a flat with two bedrooms for the guys and girls.
•   One band member grows jealous of a relationship between two of the others.
•   One band member tries to seduce the manager to get a better deal and treatment.
•   Start of the bands rise, thanks to the seduction of the manager. Sent to a fame hotspot like Hollywood.
•   Jealous band member starts affair with half of the couple he’s jealous of.
•   Affair is found out causing a split in the group. Cheated on member finds solace in another member.
•   Affair brought up in the news. Jealous band member and partner blame cheated on member and partner.

More to come! And these can be discussed in the OOC thread.

I'd be interested in this actually I love S Club (Especially Jo) I used to watch their show all the time I'd definitely be willing to make up a character or two for this RP

I was a Rachel, Hannah and Bradley man. Are you thinking of playing females or males? And just in case there's not more interest would you be interested in running this one on one?

Below are the characters I have in mind for now at least. If you read the plot points the role headings make more sense. For instance the bad couple will be looking to backstab the good couple and take the top spots in the group. The good group won't just be victims, they will fight back though. The straight talking members are meant to be changeable. In some situations they'll side with one couple or the other. Or they may just side with their friend, whoever that maybe out of the rest. In the end they could even be the people who were pulling the strings of the others.

I'm looking to play both male and female's if that's ok I like both FxF and FxM pairings and would be willing to play this one on one if no one else was interested I like the ideas you have and think this RP would be fun
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash

TreyWalker

I personally don't play women, I don't think I write it well and it doesn't flow. Hopefully whoever else joins, it will work that you can play a male and a female. Depends on how many people are interested I guess. Would you play the three females against my three males if we did RP one on one?

And is there a particular role out of those you want to reserve? And if you can think of any other characters, like maybe a hotel manager, feel free to run it by me.

AlphaWolfQuin

I can possibly play 3 females I'm not to great at females myself lol but I can give it a try
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash

TreyWalker

If you're sure. I don't want to make you play roles you don't want too.

So do you want to reserve a role? In case others sign up.

AlphaWolfQuin

yeah I'd like the bad boy role and if no one else shows interest I'll play the females
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash

TreyWalker

Cool, feel free to put up a bio. I've put you in the bad boy role.

I..I..I just. I can't. Amount of happiness..can't gauge it. Brain overloading.

I was like..the biggest nerd-fan of S Club 7, it was actually pretty freakish actually. I knew all the lyrics and dance moves and such. How did people think I was straight..wow.

ANYWAY! I'd like to join if it's okay? I'll go check out the other profiles if that's okay? I was thinking of my character being the male straight-talker; I was originally going for the good guy, but if you want it I'm happy with straight talker. He's gonna be a kind of neutral party; That is, he's in it not for personal reasons like fame or promiscuity, but to make enough money to say..pay for a surgery a family member needs or something?

Or I could play one of the females. I really don't mind. *Fanboy flail of epic weirdness*

Also Rachel + Bradley = One happy Snowe.

Nooby double post for profile!

Name: Allie Pandora Mitchel
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Pansexual
Talents: A soulful, raspy voice similar to those such as Joss Stone and Gabriella Cilmi; Mostly used for RnB and Soul songs, as well as the odd Jazz number. Talented dancer, mainly in belly dance and rnb; The managers tend to give her a more..revealing dance number on most occasions. Is really quite flexible and 'bendy' if you will. Despite her size she is a very talented fighter, having grown up with seven elder brothers, she just kind of learned not to take any crap from people over the years; And no, she doesn't pull hair and slap, she'll just punch you or hit you with a chair, it's much more fun that way, right? Finally, she's a good cook, though most of the food she cooks is just plain weird; Sushi-flavoured ice cream..I mean really?
Personality: Allie is a rather punkish young lady in that she really doesn't seem to give a flying spider-monkey what most other people think of her. She is also rather..odd, slightly 'alternative' in her style of dress and of thought; For example, she claims she is distantly related to an 18th century french aristocrat named Cecile DeLacroix, who was beheaded during the french revolution. Her favorite food is raw celery, rice porridge crab sticks, her favorite touch is anything sharp and toned muscles; Specifically abs and biseps, and her favorite smell's are fresh-cut grass, lighter fluid [preferably alight] and sweat, at least sweat created from sex. While offically odd, she is also quite kind and does not resent others for any overly childish thing; She goes to great length to make sure her band-mates are always happy
Biography: Born the child of a single mother, her father leaving just after her mother fell pregnant, Allie was the baby of the family, having seven elder brothers come before her. She was a very sick child, and after her birth the doctors estimated she would not survive to her first birthday, whilst her mother resented the fact she had another female to content with and forced her child away. It wasn't so much that she hated Allie, it was simply that while her brothers looked just like her mother, Allie was the spitting image of her rebel father.

From a young age Allie was a capable singer and dancer, and joined a theater group based in a building near her school, telling her mother that she was staying after school for extra classes, and using her lunch money to pay for it. At the age of thirteen, Allie's mother developed a rare heart condition which wore down the muscles in her heart and near-by organs, weakening her and forcing her and her sibling to care for their sick parent. By age sixteen, Allie's mother's health grew ever worse, and the local hospital told her that should she not come up with a significant amount of money in the next six months, her mother would be removed from the donor list; A death sentence for her. As such, Allie signed up for a group of young singers and dancers where told they would become 'the next big thing', hoping to come up wit enough money to buy her mother the operations she needs.

Hello E friends. For those who've role played with me, I disappeared for a while due to lack of access to a computer and personal issues. Life has calmed down and I now have access to E and inspiration has struck me again. :)

Well lady stark, feel free to write a bio. And if there isn't loads of interest would you be interested in doing this as one on one were we use two characters as our main ones and write the others around them ?

okay, i've tentatively put you up for the good girl pending your bio.

I'm interested, let me see if my muse agrees and I'll try and post a character sheet tonight sometime.
Hey all I'm property of the U.S government and as such I may randomly disappear for a day or two.  I apologize in advance but I'll get back to you ASAP


Kdyami

This is what I got

Name: Greg Andrew Paice
Played by:Kdyami
Age and Birthdate: He is 24, born September 29th 1988.
Height and Weight: 6’3” and 195lbs.
Sexual Orientation: He would call himself bi-curious.  He enjoys women but has never had any problems involving other men in multiple partner “pairings” and has fantasized about exploring more though hasn’t acted on his thoughts to date.
Major: Bachelors in Music Performance (Contemporary Styles), with a minor in Audio Production.

Background: Greg grew up in a musical family, his mother was a piano teacher and his father a choir director for the local church.  Greg took piano lessons from his mother from a very early age but wasn't fond of the rigidness of classical music.  His father taught him to sing strong and loud.  The only other member of the family was Greg's older brother, Kyle.  Kyle was already 12 when Greg was born and as such rebelled against their parents most of Greg's younger years.  As such he moved out to college across the state.

At the age of 12 Greg walked into his brother’s room and found a black electric guitar. He picked it up and made some noise and has been playing ever since that day. After jamming with some friends in his basement they started getting some stuff together with a couple in a trailer in the middle of nowhere. The trailer was cold in the winter and infested by bees in the summer. The mic’s use to shock their lips because of grounding issues but they we started working on their own songs. Working with a great producer, tough times and having a Psycho girlfriend started to make some killer tunes.   All in small Town USA.  Greg realized he had to move to the city to be closer to the music scene and just how much he still had to learn. So he packed his bags and headed for college.  It was a big change for a small towner but he learned and he played building his skills and writing songs is what he did. His hard work paid off when an HR manager was invited to Greg’s senior showcase by one of his instructors and really liked what he heard.  Signing Greg and shipping him to Los Angeles at the end of Summer for a crash course at Musician’s Institute to pick up some band mates and then heading out on tour.  For now Greg is excited to be spending time with his friends, writing songs, and simply looking forward to what is to come.

Other: Greg is out spoken, outgoing and generally a nice helpful guy.  He dreams of being a famous rock star but has always tried to avoid the “egotistical, greedy, only out for himself and the dollar sign” mentality that can go with fame.

Okay, I've decided to get rid of the description of the guys and girls so we can be free to create who we want. Kdyami, you are accepted. Welcome aboard.

Arydanilov, those characters on the first page were just samples. If you really want to play Romeo you can if you write up your own bio for him.

I will be getting up a bio for my character at some point over the weekend.

Interested.  Here's my character submission:



Name: Rachel Ransom
Age and Birthdate: 20 January 12, 1991
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Talent: Singing (country, rock, hip hop); dancing (pop-and-lock, jazz)
Background: Rachel was born and raised in Dallas, Texas to two loving and doting parents.  A cowgirl from an early age, she was riding a horse before she could walk.  It was discovered early that she had a gift for music and learned to read music and sing in the church choir.  She began learning how to dance at the age of nine after joining a local dance school because her friends were doing so.  Like singing, she was a fast learner and seemed to be a natural.  Her parents capitalized on her interests and enrolled her into private lessons for the next seven years.

By the age of sixteen, Rachel was already a local star.  Regardless of early success, her parents demanded that she finish high school before pursuing any type of career and refused to consider any offers by record labels.  By the time Rachel turned eighteen and graduated, the hype around her had cooled down.  Despite this, Rachel decided to pursue a career in music and moved to California in hopes of catching a break.  After thirteen months of nothing, Rachel enrolled at a community college and began taking general classes.  It wasn’t until a few months ago that she finally was recognized and offered a position with the group.

Other: Rachel is talented and isn't afraid of hard work.  She takes people at face value and trusts people until they prove they are untrustworthy.  She's not completely naive, despite her age and inexperience.  She's a sincere person who doesn't care for "high school" drama, backstabbing, or in-fighting.  She may try to sugarcoat it, but she isn't afraid to speak her mind either.

TreyWalker

Thanks for the application Aribeth. Do you have a picture to go with that. Once you do you'll be accepted.

AribethAmkiir

yup, for some reason the picture didn't code right.  Fixed it.   ;D

TreyWalker

Okay, your accepted. Welcome to the RP. I'll be getting an OOC thread up tonight most likely.

#33
Name: Olly Johnson
Played by: Trey Walker
Age and Birthdate: He is 22, born December 4th 1990.
Height and Weight: 6’0” and 185lbs.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Major: Self Taught

Background: Olly has always wanted to be in the music business. Since he was young he could be found singing, trying to learn instruments, dancing and doing sports. When he got older, the sports became less important. He fully focuses on his music and for four years from 16 to 20, that was all he did.

But after four years of not being able to reach the heights of stardom that he wanted, and not finding any work as a singer, a music producer or a writer, Olly stopped trying to become famous and started to hit the clubs as a DJ and just generally to party. Just under two years of his life were spent flirting with women, and drinking his worries away.

That was until he got a break. At a club whilst he was DJing, a performer no showed and Olly filled in. Fortunately for him some music executive's heard him and signed him up to be in a group.

Other: Olly was a confident straight forward guy, but then the lack of success knocked his confidence. He became a shell of himself, only alive when he was DJing or clubbing. He's now on a path trying to find his old self now that he's signed to this new group.

The thread has been started so you can get an idea of what we are doing for potential RPers.

TheRaven

"Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are"
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.
"Say 'Nevermore,'" said Shadow.
"Fuck you," said the raven.

TreyWalker

Yes it does, if you want to submit a character bio there are still positions left.

TheRaven

Name: Samuel "Sammy" Gray
Played by: TheRaven
Age and Birthdate: 25, born August 9th, 1991
Height and Weight: 5'10" and 150 lbs.
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Talent: Keyboard and vocal music. He's a baritone, if you wanna get specific.

Background: Sammy has a pretty easy background to describe. Suburban, upper-middle class, riding the bottom of the social ladder. Yeah, he was that kid. You told him Britney Spears? He'd take Siouxsie Sioux any day. He had a natural knack for music, particularly keyboards and vocals, discovered when his parents had him taking lessons as a little kid. He didn't exactly think the music business was where he would end up, but apparently a talent agent caught a few bars of his rendition of Mozart's 14th played in an upscale nightclub, and decided he was worth the investment on keyboarding alone.

When the act he was working with fell apart after an incident involving one member and another's girlfriend, he decided to move on to a new scene, and figured he'd take the plunge feet-first into pop and see where it landed him. One of the first things he was advised to do was either change his stage name or drop it entirely, considering that "Dorian Gray" probably wouldn't do much for the pop world. He reluctantly let his moniker go, and went back to his old high school nickname of Sammy.

Other: He attended college for Film Studies, but dropped out when he was signed.
"Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are"
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.

Okay Raven, you have been accepted. I'll copy your bio to the character thread. Feel free to RP in the RP thread if you want to introduce your character to the group.

TreyWalker

Okay, so we have three characters officially accepted and posted for in the RP thread. Kdyami has been accepted as the third male member of the group. So we're just looking for two more female members.

Come on people, if you've got a lady popstar sensation hidden somewhere in your imagination, let them out to play.  ;)

AribethAmkiir

I thought all the characters were going to have talent and actually be able to sing.  Not sure Rachel falls into any of those stereotypes, but we'd be happy to have you join us with whatever type of character you'd like to create.

AribethAmkiir

Ah!  Gotcha.

uhh... Rachel's your southern belle, whichever demographic that appeals to.

Trey probably has a better idea of where she falls.  Sorry I'm not more helpful.

TreyWalker

Hey Mia h, and thanks for your interest.

Originally it was going to be manufactured like a club or spice girls. But I found people were not interested when they didn't have the freedom to create their character the way they wanted. So you can create your character however you wish.

That's not to say that the management will not try and pigeon hole you though. That's what d'lo saxton is there for. Part if the story will be conflict based on the stereotypes and what the members want.

Hope that answers your questions.
