Guitar, Drums and Dreams a plenty! Roadies needed!!

[Bekah Boo]

                          Currently searching for a few roadies

To reach our dreams we must go beyond our own limits, to excel and put everything on the line...but if we make it, will it be worth it?

Every teenager at one point in their life has always dreamed to be part of a famous band sometime or another, who wouldn't want that life? The fame, the wealth, the recognition?Millions of fans lining up just to hear your music, your woes and dreams put to lyrical form, there is little doubt the appeal in becoming famous in the rock and roll world and yet it's an straining if not fleeting pipe dream for many.
This is the story of one such band, a group of friends who's dream to make it big has finally come true after years of struggling and putting their hearts out to be smashed time and time again. All the disappointment and suffering finally seemed to pay off, but now that the hard part is over what will it be like now that they're growing in popularity?

What I'm looking for in this story is the day to day life of our band, their own inward struggles as the pressure of fame burdens them, how they cope and what sort of drama may occur. Maybe there is back stabbing that could result in the band splitting? Maybe one member can't take the fandom and simply dives into whatever vice to cope? Maybe romance ensues and brings more turmoil than what they could have ever expected? It's all on the table, and really something I want to experience in.Along with fame many outside forces could be turning heads, a few stalkers and obsessive fans, the wear and tear of the lifestyle on the road, groupies getting over their heads and even egos getting out of control;there are many possibilities.

I am looking for a few key roles to be taken, this short list can be altered and such but we need them mainly to of course bring the band together.

Rules:

So because I am apparently an glutton for self punishment I decided on another group idea I've had tinkering in the back of my head for a while, as I have only one other group story and it's going fairly well. By no means am I an expert yet, though I figured I would give another one a chance. That being said, I will not tolerate drama.The first little snippet of it I will not hesitate to kick people out. In the past I've seen drama completely tear a story apart, so please for the sake of common decency just try to be respectful to others okay? If there are any issues don't hesitate to message me and I will clear up the matter quickly.

As far as posting length I want to maintain at least 3 to 4 paragraphs if not longer as my normal rules apply to this as well; no one liners and god moding. I want to create a story full of emotion and depth, so posts should be detailed and be much more than sheer reaction if it can be helped. Any OOC chatter will be in it's own thread that I will set up as the main thread is nothing but IC posts.

I live in South Carolina so my time zone may vary compared to others, that being said I tend to post in the later afternoon going to the wee hours of the morning as I tend to not sleep all that well. Some posts may need to be paused in order to get into a routine though that doesn't mean we skip over due to an inactive partner. There may be posts that can further explain your own until we can move the story along, but try and be courteous to others given we are all in different time zones. That said as well I at least want one post a week from all players, nothing too extreme but any inactivity longer than an week unless stated will result in a character being taken out in some form.

As always all are welcome so don't be shy, as well as if anyone has anything to add do message me as I don't bite too hard ;3
This story in particular will have sexual elements as well as drug abuse, alcohol, and most anything that can be associated with the rock and roll lifestyle.

If interested please message me with the sheet as well as any other questions you may have. If accepted I will message privately, so do not bother me on the matter. Those who are accepted will have their character sheets listed on the OOC thread, unless specified that they want their character to remain secret or not. Along with the character sheet I will require a sample post, to narrow the decision. I am aware that having a certain word number and sample posts may seem a bit much but as this is my third attempt at this story I am cracking down on those who wish to join, that if I feel they are not a good fit I will politely tell them so. If I offend anyone I do not mean such, simply it has come to this and I have no other way around it.
Please list in this sort of format:

Interested in being the drummer. PM sent.

[Bekah Boo]

Two positions taken, still plenty to be had so don't be shy and join in on the fun!

[BlueEyedBard]

Creating a sheet for lead guitarist! I will pm it shortly!

[Bekah Boo]

Woooooo!!!!!!

[Chrystal]

Anyone who knows to avoid crossing the streams (except when the world is about to end anyway) is okay in my book!

Excellent! Approved, you both can now put your character sheets in the character thread here;
https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=251586.0

I'm still tweaking my character but it's up.

[Aida Rose]

I'm interested in singer. I'll probably send a sheet tonight when I get back home, unless the position's been snatched by then x)

As for now it's not so don't rush ;3

[Tokyorose627]

I'd be interested in making a character; but possibly a singer as well! D:

[Bekah Boo]

We are still in search for a manager as well, as any who are interested in the role please message me to discuss possible plots and what not.
Along with a manager a few groupies or roadies would be a welcomed addition, as those to help set up speakers and what not, not to mention drive and such.

[Bekah Boo]

Alright we have a good majority of the band together, though we are still looking for a few more players.
So don't be shy, men are always accepted of course ;3

[la dame en noir]

I'm so mad I didn't see this sooner!

[Tokyorose627]

I'm so mad I didn't see this sooner!

;A; Me too.

[BlueEyedBard]

Well no time like the present!

[WhatLiesAbove]

Just lost a group. So I'm going to be making up a keyboardist if it's not too late!

[Bekah Boo]

There's plenty of roles still left! Just drop a message by and we can figure some things out ;3

[MistressofPen]

And, not to be a poacher, but the Salem Institute is also still accepting characters for a US wizard/witch/potterverse RP. 

But, Roadies and a manager could be fun.  If I were bossier I'd have tried that.

[Chrystal]

*Grins* This story is supposed to be about the (IC ONLY) drama, ups and downs of the bands relationships with each other, right?

Aida, how do you feel about Charlie having an on-again-off-again relationship with Rex? Nights of steamy Lesbian sex followed by mornings of throwing things at each other, Charlie going to one of the guys and Rex going to one of the girls... only to have them make up and get back together in a couple of days...?

[Bekah Boo]

Still looking for a manager as well as roadies!
Us girls need some strong male hands to help out with heavy equipment ;3

[Tokyorose627]

I could take an assistant role then! 80

[Bekah Boo]

Ooooh assistant, sounds fun ;3
They're going to have their hands full ha.

[Tokyorose627]

Yeah they will; besides setting everything up they'll have to deal with everyone's shenanigans. lol

[Bekah Boo]

Everyone be sure to post this chatter in the OOC please, we have much to discuss there ;3

[Bekah Boo]

Still looking for a few more players as we haven't started yet! So don't be shy and dive into the crazy madness while you can!

Hey! *taps nose with rolled up newspaper* Those are for newcomers sir!

[Tokyorose627]

So I send in my OC to the GMs? Or on this topic?

[Bekah Boo]

Send it to me first and then once approved you can post it in the character thread.

[Tokyorose627]

Just did! :D

*Swat* I've had three Red bulls and on my fourth cup of coffee...I am everywhere*taps with rolled up newspaper*
No cookies for ju!

[Chrystal]

Awwwwwww

[Bekah Boo]

Oooooohh don't give me that....*tries to look away but is powerless*

Curses.

*Frees up the cookies*

[Chrystal]

*LICKS then takes a cookie*

[Bekah Boo]

Don't make me send you to the corner *eyes warily*

[Bekah Boo]

Alright guys! We just need a few roadies to help out with the band and then we will be good to go!

[Chrystal]

Given that it's a mostly female band and most of the girls are bi or straight, I'm surprised there aren't guys bouncing in to this with their tongues hanging out...

[Bekah Boo]

Just to let everyone know we will be starting the story today, though that does not mean those interested in the roadie positions aren't able to join! Merely message me and we can add you guys in with no problem!

[Bekah Boo]

*Shameless attempt at snatching some players for roadies*

Not to mention there are a bunch of sweet yet spicy women who may or may not need a few strong hands to help out ;3

*Walks away hoping to bait a few winners*

[MistressofPen]

Any roadies hired?

[Bekah Boo]

Not just yet, though we're still always hopeful right? ;3

[MistressofPen]

No kidding.  Tiffany can't carry her amps...maybe push them on the wheelie thingie, but not carry.  I'll have to troll in other RPs to see if I can encourage participation...LOL

Haha if Quinn attempts to carry her own equipment or 'help' tour pretty much guaranteed to have broken pieces ha.
No shame in that, spread the good word! We can't have all the fun right?

I'm having fun...Hope all else are!  I'm finding myself slipping into this character a bit too easily...I like that because the writing is easier.

Must be the company I'm keeping!  ;)

[Sargepepper]

Walt's gonna make the two Menfolk do it. Not because it's sexist, but because it keeps Babbies from forming in random supply closets. But at least it gives the ladies something nice to look at as the two young men lift heavy things and put them down. Probably shirtless.

[MistressofPen]

Vat is zis?  Babbies?  Zis sounds bad...   >:)

[BlueEyedBard]

Something tells me there will be plenty of other opportunities  ::)

[Bekah Boo]

Still looking for at least two more roadies to even out the numbers!
Come join the fun!

[Bekah Boo]

Alright!
So as it stands right now we are currently looking for a drummer as well as a few roadies for our group!
Please message me if you are interested, as well as add in an character sheet for me to review!
Don't be shy sign up before it's gone!

[CaptainErotica]

I admittedly do not know much about playing the drums in real life or being a musician. But i'd love to join as the drummer and help give the girls a hand -or two- with the gear.

Are you still requiring the sample post along with the character sheet?


Update: This game and the band being mostly young females is screaming for me to make Staycee Jaxx.

[Tytus]

I am interested in the drummer position if it is still open

[BlueEyedBard]

Actually now the band is even between males and females.

[InnocentSynn]

Not really sure about being a roadie but might there be an interest in someone playing a body guard or head of security type?

It's Bekah's call but we lost our manager's assistant as he took over lead vocals, so I don't think it would be a bad idea if Clay, the manager, had a right hand person to get shit done when he was busy with... other things. This person could very easily also be a body guard/muscle. Clay is not exactly a good guy and may have need of someone like that from time to time.

[Tytus]

hey Bekah Boo, I pm'd you my character sheet. Sorry the picture is so big, but I couldn't get it to act right. I'll have to work on it.

[MistressofPen]

Is happy to see faces here!

Sorry just got back from work ;3
I think that sounds like a fantastic idea, Clay seems the type to want an sort of authoritative person at his side, whether it be for muscle or simply so that he seems like a big deal with the need for security. Plus with the crazy antics of an rock band? It might be a good idea ;3
Just PM me a character sheet, I will be working on the new threads and be PMing them shortly to everyone.

[MistressofPen]

Lmao.   I meant familiar faces....

[CaptainErotica]

Yay! I am working on a few changes to better fit the group, but it looks like Staycee Jaxx will soon be gracing the group with his rock godliness. I'm excited. *sings..I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...some groupie just stole my pants but I think I like it.*

Awesome.....I'll begin working on the big guy here in a bit and have a character sheet for you probably by tomorrow evening

Yippee.  Zam pow, we're almost back in business.

[Bekah Boo]

Thank you so much for all the interest guys! We're still looking for a few more roadies, but otherwise this reboot will be a go here soon so hurry!

[InnocentSynn]

So where exactly is the Accepted characters thread so that I can get a feel for who else is running around in this deal?
