Realistic or Modern ⋆✩ ☆ Reach for the S t a r s

[Pine]

Ayeeee lmao it's introduction time.


btw lesora i kept forgetting to say hi so... hello again >:U


“I pledge my undying loyalty to @FirePolaris to be active in creating ideas and being a part of this role play. I will let everyone know on the OOC when I’m busy and I will not poof on this role play without prior notice.”


SO hola ladies and gents and nbs and closet furries (I know you're out there, you can't fool me). I go by Pine, but you guys are more than welcome to call me by my cabin boy name, Jimmy, or any other nickname you can come up with. Literally anything goes. Pinenut, Pinesnapple, Asscrack, whatever, because that's just how we roll in the shire.


I basically live on this site. If I'm not in class, eating or sleeping, I'm generally on here... doing... whatever I do. xD A favorite pass-time of mine is bitching about all the small nuances in my life, like how just the other day I peeled off a band-aid only to have to replace it with three others. Aside from that, I'm trying to get into the competitive scene with a couple of video games. I started out with Pokemon but... well... Pokemon isn't really letting me have an easy time with hacking Pokemon anymore, so I've kind of strayed away from that recently. Instead, I've been investing time in the other love of my life, Super Smash Bros. I entered a tournament last year and... that... didn't go over too well for me, but I'm only getting better. xD


One thing I'm absolutely ecstatic about is roleplaying YUNG SAUL, as he weaves his way through life being the bane of the band's existence as well as being the tiniest boy living among these titans. Also, I know you said just one thing, but... boy do I love roommate situations in roleplays. xD

 

[Polaris.]

@Pine[/URL] Omgosh Pokemon! I love Pokemon LOL. I just bought the Alpha Sapphire and didn't have time to finish it. Buying games/roleplaying during finals is a bad...bad idea. x-x


And also, I finally finish my writing sample so there's a gist of Klara in all her crazy messy glory. God, I feel so bad for her roommate. ( Hopefully none of the girls are clean freaks. So I'm off to nap guys. Have fun with all the intros.

"Yay! I made it, Mr. Creator of Roleplays! I made it! But I only think I made it because only two people applied for the guitarist role."

1. Ello there! I'm GiannaCoco! I call myself Coco, but there's lots of separate names that you can get from my username {Gia, Gigi, Gee, Anna etc.}, so I don't really mind what you call me {Most call me Gianna though}. I'm a young girl, still in school. Sometimes I'm being forced to go somewhere without WiFi which really takes my time away from roleplaying. *Sadface* {I'm typing this in a bus to school. }


*Brightens* Anyway, I believe I live in the other side of the world. Due to timezones, I may not be able to chat much. {UTC +8.00} Hopefully that doesn't happen too much.


2. In my spare time, I really like to roleplay {of course!} or just cruise around the site, daydream, YouTube {gaming}, reading fantasy, romance and food related novels and I sometimes do an impression of my characters, with their personality, voice and all. I'm really considering if I should record them, but I don't really have the right software {being on the phone full time} and I'm worried that my voice would be distorted, or... sound... Asian? ~{>W<}~


3. Well, what I'm excited about this roleplay is definitely the character interaction and reactions. It's always the thing that gives me the motivation to post. And the drama, the drama is always potentially satisfying.


I also like the fact that this roleplay had a musical element to it. I've never really joined any band roleplays, or musical roleplays in general. I find it really hard to incorporate music into roleplays {the only reason I don't join Glee roleplays D:} so I'm wondering how this experience would feel like. {I actually play the guitar btw.}


Ah! I think that's it. Now please excuse me! *Coco needs to go to School and hide her phone to read this OOC later*

Well, I'm still pretty new to this site so just call me Myrrh (prn. like mer if you didn't already know) and, well, I work at a Walmart deli night shift 1PM to 10PM (central time) so my activity will be sporadic during these times, usually.


I'm off tomorrow, though. Obviously, music is my life. There's not much to tell, sorry!

“I pledge my soul to @FirePolaris to be active in creating ideas and being a part of this role play. I will let everyone know on the OOC when I’m busy and I will not poof on this role play without prior notice.”


Heya I'm Trace! You may call me that or some sort of made up non-offensive nickname of your choice!


Outside of rping, I have my hands in a lot of different things. I love comics--DC especially. My favorite superhero is Shazam while my favorite gallery of characters is from Batman and his related series. If you want to talk comics to me, I'm more than happy to oblige!


In addition, I am a competitive ballroom dancer--not professionally, recreationally but seriously! My ballroom partner and I specialize in latin dances--cha cha, samba, rumba, jive, paso doble--and we both teach (though not professionally--we teach at our club!) and compete at the amateur level. If I'm not around in the evenings or afternoons, I'm probably sweating it out at practice making faces at myself in the mirror. -.-;; Just got off a three hour practice session actually. xD


I also like video games, cooking and eating, and long walks on the beach. not really on the last one


I'm excited for, well, exploring the unglamorous sides of show business--contract stipulations, restrictions--and the pressures of constantly being in the public eye. I played classical piano and violin for many years so I'm so excited to have the role of the keyboardist--I'm confident I can portray a person who plays that instrument!


Oh and it was a pleasure reading everyone's CS's!

 

[Pine]

Have good sleeps, Pola! uwu And have fun at school, Coco! I'll just be... uh... doing (?) homework (???????) maybe.


ALSO, BEFORE I FORGET AGAIN


@Banana Panda @Myrrh Scented


I saw that both of you guys are still kinda' new to the site. SO welcome to RpN! If you guys have any questions about the site or anything, you're more than welcome to ask me and I'd love to help out. (I'm sure the other people in this roleplay feel the same way, too, but YA' KNOW just thought I should throw that out there.)


@Trace ooooooh comics oooooh DC. * w * I have a small collection of comic books, myself, but not too many unfortunately I'm so stingy with my money omg. I just need something to placate my Robin obsession every now and again harhar.

 

[Trace]

@Pine Ooooh now I have to ask: who is your favorite Robin?

 

[Pine]

That's cruel of you, making me pick one haha. Dick and Damian are both just so precious, I can't choose lol. I don't know too much about Tim or too too about Jason, but I mean... dick&damianbrotpbrotp.

 

[Trace]

@Pine I love them all too (though I harbor some bias against Damian for smacking Jason with a crowbar, ngl) but my favorite is definitely Jason (he is a beautiful bundle of terrible emotional issues). I love Nightwing as well (does anyone not like him?) and I'm a big Tim fan too, especially in his Red Robin run (which is amazing and I definitely recommend it).


Okay, so technically the answer should be: I prefer Tim as Robin but of all the Robins my favorite is Jason. xDD


Okay, I'm starting to gush.

"I pledge to @FirePolaris to be active in creating ideas and being a part of this role play. I will let everyone know on the OOC when I’m busy and I will not poof on this role play without prior notice."


Hiya friends As you may have already found out, I am pretty new to the site, but I have RPed before. ^^ If we haven't met already, i usually just go by Banana (but hey, to be honest, I reply to just about anything).


In my spare time, I typically binge-watch tv shows and movies on Netflix as well (it's really terrible ;~ , but I have been spending quite a decent amount of my time on here lately. c: I may or may not be addicted. Other than that, I don't really do much (I realize as I am typing this... again, it's terrible ;~ other than go to school, clean the house, and worry about my future... Speaking of, I should probably be doing homework.


I kid, I kid. I can do homework later. Anyway, moving on: I am super hyped about this role play. I've never done a music-themed one like this before and from what I've watched on Netflix (loads and loads of K-Dramas as it turns out) I think it'll be really fun to RP it out. Really, I'm just looking forward to the way these characters interact with each other. Plus, I've always thought knowing how to rap and beatbox was really cool, so having a character that does is pretty rad.


Oh and btw, I hate to admit it but my lingo can be quite (how do you say?) informal at times. Like I have a tendency to say words like "totally," "like," "hype," and a lot of text speak in my OOC posts... I don't even notice it half the time. I hope you don't mind. xD I generally stay away from it though when posting IC.

 

[Pine]

@Trace oh yeah, Damian's a total shit, but that's exactly why I love him haha. Aside from maybe two random comics (you just have to read The Killing Joke, it's an obligationg), I've only been reading the Morisson's Batman and Robin, so I haven't seen Damian portrayed by any other author. The fact that he hit Jason with a crowbar though... poor Jason... but my sadistic side loves it. xD


I might be biased against Tim. The artist that really got me motivated to go buy some comic books absolutely HATED Tim in the most hilarious way. I haven't seen much of him, though. At the moment, Jason is probably my third favorite, but seriously... I want to collect them all. I'll even take Tim if that's what it takes. lmao Jason has such an interesting niche and I'm sure he's a beautiful emotional wreck. I think the one time he did pop up in my comics, I did love him but he also got in the way and guys can't we all just get along...? Hhhhahahaha who am I kidding duke it out to your heart's content.


@Banana Panda that lingo's not gonna' bother me. I'm informal af ooc. I'm filthy memeing trash, so...


Side note, I've learned how to beatbox juuuuuust a little bit, 'cause I wanted to learn how to do it on my flute. it's actually really exhausting haha

Aw, but that's so cool though! I really want to learn!

I could only KIND OF make the sounds SOMETIMES. xD Honestly though, to start, I just googled it. Maybe if I was living on my own I would practiced it more, but alas... lol

I really need to get started on my collectible figurines. I had a small collection, but my ex stole them...gay men, I swear.
Anyway, there is this one Catwoman bust that I would stri...er, exotically dance for. And, of course, I can't forget my main squeeze!


 
I did make a comment about the Robins, but it got eaten by the quote. Basically, Damian wins, for a douche. And Tim is...eh.

 

[Banana Panda]

Hm.. I might just Google it then. But idk man, it took me forever to learn how to just whistle. xD

 

[Polaris.]

*Poofs back in*


Informal language is okay in the OOC. No problem there. I gotta go count how many more people I need to stalk need to do introductions.


And @Banana Panda, not going to lie, when a good friend of mine thought of this plot a long time ago, she was inspired by all those kdramas and idol shows. Lol


Speaking of instruments, I used to play the piano and violin (for a year before I quit) but never the bass so lots of googling and mistakes here and there. Sorry guys. LOL.

 

[Banana Panda]

Fun fact: I actually played the viola for a good 5 years before I had to stop because I changed programs in school. Unfortunately, every note I learned on the viola is based on alto clef, and since basically NOTHING else uses it (probably an exaggeration, but oh well, I'm ranting), I might as well have not learned lol. I've been trying to learn cello and piano, though. ^^

Ehehe, gay drama irl is no joking matter. I've heard many-a rumor...


*sneaks in a high five*


I had found what you wrote in the quote anyway, so no worries. xD

[QUOTE="Banana Panda]Hm.. I might just Google it then. But idk man, it took me forever to learn how to just whistle. xD

[/QUOTE]
Whistling is HARD okay. xD I think the whole beatboxing thing might be something that came a little easier to me because playing a wind instrument blah blah blah I'm used to making noises with my mouth. lol Next time you're bored, I'd recommend looking into a little bit, then you can just practice it a little bit... just... whenever you want to, haha.

Pffft. Alto clef is so weird. At least tenor and bass will be easier to learn... in theory.

Oooooh! Violins are so beautiful, but like... the one time I tried to hold one, it felt so AWKWARD, I couldn't do it. xD As for piano... well, I know middle C, hand positions and what the pedals do lol. I'm not great at it, since I just took a class for... eh... a year? a semester? Idr, but I could theoretically teach myself the rest of the way... except that I don't have a piano haha.


But yeah, no problem with the bass or anything. I've done a lot of research in the past and I still forget how it works. I think about the second time around of watching YouTube videos, I think I remember the gist of it now... maybe. I'm just now getting around to reading the CS's, but Klara looks really fun. xD I'm already starting to hatch ideas on how she and Saul might get along, ehhehe.

 

[Polaris.]

LOL I feel like I kill convos every time I poof on but sweeeet, almost everyone did their introductions today. Guess you guys escaped my 'why art thou not pledging your soul to me' moment over PM.


Since everyone is almost done with their introductions, (please wait for introductions to be completely done, we got two more lovely souls) relationships will work like this.

First, we all need to go through each other's CS (well mainly the personality, quirks, writing sample) to get an understanding of their character. Then on the OOC, you would have to write a couple sentences on their first impression and their present relationship. Three Categories of Relationships: Best Mates: You get along well with these band mates and in your spare time, you aren't plotting ways to murder them in their sleep. Shaky Relationship: You can stand these housemates of yours but they're treading on thin water. Rivalry goes in here too. Mutual Hatred: You hate each other's guts, personality, and you're only friendly with love and kisses onscreen. Sarcastic remarks fly here and there, and hot damn, they're so frustrating to be around. Others: OPTIONAL. Here you can list your crushes, lovers, likes, dislikes about the other band mate.​ An example: Christina's Creator: Christina is a rambunctious person so Christina's first impression of Harry was that he's slightly too dull and boring for her. Since Harry seems like he likes to be left alone, I doubt they'll make very good friends and probably get into fights a lot. I say they will be under shaky relationships. Harry's Creator: That sounds right! Harry's first impression of Christina would be that she's a bit too obnoxious and boy crazy. He doesn't like her very much but can tolerate and ignore her on several occasions. Shaky relationship will probably be best.​ That's it! Conclude it with a pretty two-three sentences on their relationship and continue adding them onto the list. Now if your character is quite lovable and he/she loves every single person, that's cool. You do not need a frienemy but you cannot be best mates with everyone. They probably hate you behind your back. Jk. Finally! Roommates will be random so if you're sleeping with someone you hate, ;( it's not me, blame the number generator.

My poor parents who bought me the violin and then I told them the orchestra disbanded when I just wanted to quit. I actually manage to play the piano for 5 years and then I quit on them too. Lol, I think I just absolutely abhor practicing and rehearsals. x-x YouTube is a great idea! Lol I was going to wikipedia everything and read those long-ass paragraphs. I think snappy sarcastic remarks over drinks will bond those two quite well. And he seems to be a scary enemy, hopefully no one got on his bad side.


@Banana Panda I realized that Klara and Zadie have the same last names. LOL If that's too weird for you, I can change it to something else.

 

[Banana Panda]

Lol wow, what are the odds? It looks like we're fine now though, right? Klara King and Zadie Knight is totally fine with me.

Pffffft. I kind of wish my school had had an orchestra, but alas... we just had stinking marching band and bleh. But yeah no, I would rather just jump straight to performing haha.


I ended up watching a couple of "how to play bass" basics. I might have glanced at a few articles, but I think I mostly relied on those videos. The biggest thing that I remember is that the bass is very vulnerable to distortion. When you're plucking one string, you have to make sure you hold the other strings still unless you're Saul.


i'm sorry i know you said wait but i need to say it before i forget haha


I feel like 99.9% of Saul's relationships are going to be on shaky grounds. He's just... kind of like that... xD Then most of the time that he takes the time and energy to truly hate someone... I think it tends to be pretty one-sided. I'm really hoping to find a victim for this. I feel like his views of her would have started off rocky, improved with time... but it would still be pretty polarized. Her bubbly personality would have initially put him off, but I think some of her quirks would have grown on him quickly (he would be very amused by accusations of bra thieving for a number of reasons). I think the more sarcastic/blunt remarks she threw around, the more comfortable he would have become with making his own snide comments right back at her in friendly (?) jest.


At the same time, he can get very competitive when it comes to his bass. He probably doesn't think that the band needs two basses and he's incredibly jealous of her +10 perfect pitch aspect. I think he would frequently try to show her up with his shitty bass playing (a.k.a. his fun with technical things a.k.a. not the way the instrument is actually supposed to be play) and he would keep up his catty remarks during rehearsal... but he may or may not actually be trying to sneak in an insult during those times. xD

 

[Myrrh Scented]

I don't exactly feel like everybody hates Dante's guts but I feel like most of the band takes a general disliking towards him.


Best Mates? What is this Best Mates you speak of?

 

[Polaris.]

So I don't know how I missed you @Myrrh Scented but I accidentally did. Lol so the only introduction we're waiting on is @Sasil. She's probably busy and will get to it later today from my vicious prodding over skype.

@Pine[/URL]


It's okay to have shaky relationships. That's the core of upcoming problems. You know, I'd love to see Saul and Dante duke it out one day. I think it'll be an awesome scene. Klara and Saul snarky remarks and insults will be pretty funny to play out. To piss him off, she'll throw random pick up lines at him though I'm not sure how he'll react to them.


Yay for vicious friendly competition.

 

[Myrrh Scented]

@FirePolaris


Yes, totally! Dante isn't so much a spokesperson/firebrand for Fake Beauty's cause as he is someone that's mainly in it for the kicks. Don't get me wrong, music is his heart and soul, but he's been warped and jaded so much that sometimes he has to be reminded of what Fake Beauty stands for.


He really needs professional help.
