(Like heck anybody's gonna join this lol)

Don't bother highlighting the above line since it will likely scare you away from this RP.

So..

Welcome to Edgecombe High School! It's a good sized public school in a small suburban town. Here, alongside the Jazz Choir and normal Choirs, there exists another music related club at the school- The Pop Music Club. Basically, you could say this is equivalent to a Glee club (Although I didn't base this off Glee, I based it off another thing from another show, aka K-On). Only, there's three major differences-

  • You have to play an instrument, band style.
  • Unfortunately, unlike Glee, every song does not sound beautifully perfect since not everyone in the club has/is a good singer who is actually an actor.
  • There's singer songwriter things involved alongside the singing of already existing pop songs.


Which may explain why the club is about to be taken off the Clubs and Sports roster list forever, since nobody seems willing to join.

Basically, the plot will revolve around after school activities (Which means we'll be doing LOTS of timeskips of school days), and will occasionally have nonschool activities too since those are fun.

RULES:

Literacy. PLEASE. In other words, 4+ sentences, must be long. YOU MUST HAVE GOOD GRAMMAR AND GOOD SPELLING TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL.

No SUES of any kind. In fact, Imma go as far as to ban "shy" or "when in a bad mood/angry..." From being your only faults. If I see those faults I won't accept you.

Let's have some diversity between charries. Make em' all unique. This is a high school in reality- everybody is different.

I must accept form before RP.

Follow forum rules

Anime pictures not accepted for appearance. Even if you drew them yourself. Only convincingly looking stick figures drawn on MS Paint will be accepted for appearance. But you still have to go through typing a description.

Not everyone is gonna be a vocalist. Fact, not everyone can be GOOD at singing.

Instruments must either be: A. Electric Guitar B. Drums, C. Keyboard, D. Bass Guitar E. Acoustic Guitar F. Piano (AKA normal one, although this is about the same as keyboard.. Eh adding it for sake of more options) I may have forgotten some other pop bandish instruments, but eh.

In the case of who's going to be lead vocalist, we can probably switch between vocalists. Unless of course, it get's out of hand.

Please leave your auto tunes at home. Thank you very much.

No having fifty hundred different people with the same instrument. Only two people to each instrument.

I don't quite understand the RP but here goes.

Name: Mike

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Personality: Funny, Compassionate, Sympathetic, Serious.

Looks: Good looking (apparently)

Instrument: Trumpet

Other(Skill at instrument, singing ability..): Hacking.

 
Name: Alysa Roberts

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Personality: Alysa has a very hot head. She acts without thinking, and this can seriously mess things up, because she doesn't think about her actions. She will blow up at someone, usually for a stupid reason, and this will even be projected to her friends if they do 'something stupid'. She isn't very emotional, so she can't be manipulatied easily, but someone could definitely take advantage of her rash desicions.

Looks: Alysa, who decided that she liked the colour red, dyed her hair a very bright shade of it. She usually wears it in a very messy bun, or in scrunched waves. She has grey eyes, usually lined, but not heavily like some of the girls at school. She is quite tall with an athletic build, something she despises, because she has no figure. She usually wears just a plain t-shirt with a witty slogan or picture, black skinny jeans and a tatty pair of trainers.

Instrument: Bass guitar

Other: She is definitely not a singer, but she is excellent at bass guitar.

Name: Sasha Granger

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Personality: Sasha is very reserved, and prefers to sit back and watch the world go by. Her music is her life, and she practices it at every chance she gets. She isn't exactly shy, but she never finds a way to express herself writh words, which is when she turns to music. She is a firm and loyal friend, and she feels more comfortable in the group, where others who find their same talent in music express themselves the way she does.

Looks: Sasha has dark brown hair, tumbling down to her shoulders in a mess of curls. She has brown eyes, almost the same shade as her hair, and she feels like they are her best feature (the eyes being the window to the soul and all that). She is average height and weight, not stick thin. Her style is unusual for the group, because she wears t-shirt with a corset pattern on them, and skinny jeans. She would wear real corsets and flowing skirts if the school rules allowed it, but alas, this is not to be.

Instrument: Piano and voice

Other: she has been classically trained in piano, and she is a decent singer (althoguh she has never had lessons, so her breathing and voice registers need work)

(Beth, most definitely accepted! Minecraft Addict, you are rejected however due to lack of content in form, especially in the Looks and Personality parts of your form. Thank you for applying.)

Name: Trent Kendrick

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: Trent is a guy who is luckily very easy to get along with due to the fact he holds himself in a rather easygoing manner. He's pretty friendly, but not friendly to the point of being gullible to scams, fakers and the like- despite the fact he's the type who sleeps and/or generally doesn't pay attention in class, he's actually pretty smart. His grades are rather abysmal due to his lack of attention in class. Unfortunately, he uses most of his energy to practice guitar/write songs rather than study, which isn't quite the best thing to do, especially since he is a junior who's headed to college in two years. The only subject Trent seems to be able to pull good grades in is band, although it seems he would rather not be in band since he hates playing saxophone since it wastes his time.

Looks: Trent is a guy with a lean, medium build. He really isn't very muscular since he doesn't do any sports and isn't the type to workout like crazy. He's 5'7, and weighs 145 pounds. Trent has short, dark brown hair and green eyes. He tends to wear the usual average guy clothing- AKA jeans, a t-shirt, and depending on the whether, a light jacket.

Instrument: Electric Guitar

Other(Skill at instrument, singing ability..): He's pretty good at guitar from all his practicing, and is a decent singer. He can play a saxophone due to being in band, but he hates saxophones quite a bit and pretty much always keeps his sax locked in his band instrument locker. He's only in band to get an easy A.

Name: Jessica Burton, also known as Jess

Age: 17

Gender: female

Personality: Jessica's a very sullen and moody girl, quick to reject all offers of conversation and social interaction. If you attempt to talk to her, she'll oat glare at you until you leave, maybe raise an eyebrow in disapproval if you're persistant. This isn't because she's antisocial - Jess just has a fear of being rejected. She has strange logic, yes, but she believes that if she has no chance of being accepted in a group, there is definitly no chance of her being rejected. Jess only joined this club on the grounds that hardly anyone is there, she needed a decent place to use her music skills, and to shut her parents up - she loathes being told what to do, but going along with her parent's wishes of her becoming involved with people was the only way to go.

Looks: Jessica's face - which often has a scowl on it - is framed by hair in a bob style. Her hair was orginally blonde, but she dyed it bright red half a year or so ago and it's remained that way ever since. Jess' eyes are a sharp green colour, contrasting with her hair and making both stand out even more. Jessica is rather tall for her age and doesn't like it, so she sticks mostly to trainers and other flat shoes. For the rest of her clothing style, Jessica HAS been known to wear a dress or a skirt, but she mostly sticks to band t-shirts coupled with dark jeans, and occasionally adds a hooded top.

Instrument: drums.

Other: Due to hardly ever having anything to do, Jessica had practiced her instrument for many hours and as a result is very good at it. She's a decent songwriter, but can't actually sing to save her life.

 
(Accepted, tamaturtle, k we can begin :DDDD)

As the last bell rang, signaling the end of the day, Trent stood up, picked his backpack up and swung his guitar case over his shoulder. He walked out of the classroom, headed straight to room 504 in the Arts wing, which was the band room. He entered it and it was empty, as usual. The last period of the day was a free period, so the band director had plenty of time to pack up and clean up the room so the Pop Music Club could use the room. Trent removed his guitar from it's case and then plopped down in a random chair. He began to strum the strings, warming up.

 
Name: Lila Marie Short

Age: 17 Years Young

Gender: Female

Personality: Lila is probably one of the quirkiest people around. Random, outgoing, and hyper, she can come off as over the top and maybe a bit too crazy for her own good. However, her heart's in the right place, and she really does try to keep her cool-- try being the key word. She can also be a bit scatterbrained when it comes to things besides music, which she is devoted to. She is passionate, creative, and fun-loving.

Looks: Lila has pale blonde hair with a couple streaks of hot pink in it, and she wears it in a variety of styles. She's the tiny one of the group, standing a little bit under 5 feet tall and with a petite build. Her eyes are big and blue, although sometimes she'll wear oddly colored contacts, like purple or aqua, just because she can. Her style is very eclectic, although she mostly sticks to neon patterns and super girl pieces. In a way, she almost looks like a J-Pop star (besides being Asian. Because she's not). She's a really cute girl, and loves it.

Instrument: Turn Tables/ Synth Machine. She can also beatbox.

Other: Lila is actually a classically trained musician and went to a private school for musicians up until transferring to the public school for this year. She's learned to play a variety of instruments, namely piano and violin. However, once she figured out the art of being an amazing DJ, she was hooked. She also spent time learning how to beatbox, because that was what she wanted to do as well. Occasionally she will play the violin or the piano, but she doesn't make as big of a deal about those. She also loves to write music.

 
(Swan, most definitely accepted, welcome aboard! :DD Anyway, from this point on, since the gender ratio is 4-1, no more girls will be accepted until we get at least more more guy charrie in the RP.)

 
All the way through her last period of actual lessons, Jessica sat and watched the teacher with a blank expression on her face, chanting all the while inside her head Shut up and let me go and play drums. Finally, finally, they were all dismissed, and Jessica didn't hesitate, shooting up and making her way to het current haven: room 504. Dumping her bag and hoody in a corner after pulling out her drumsticks, Jessica looked up to see Trent. Her only acknowledgment of his presence was a sharp nod, and then she was entirely focused on hr drum kit, hitting a cymbals to show she was ready.

Time to get this party started.

 
Name: Zack Walters

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Personality: Zack is intelligent but he helps others with it. Like when he would finish a test, he would help someone who isn't finished. He is always positive. He hates cheaters because they get in the way of the real people who should win. Unfortunately, Walters is a Klutz and messes things up a lot. He can be overprotective of things, like his 3DS, Pokemon Cards, and his beautiful drawings. Walters is Rash, and that affects his School Work. Sometimes, instead of doing Homework, he draws a lot or watches anime. He can make friends easily and is very kind.

Looks: Zack is an Asian. He is 5'3.He has black long hair (like Justin-Bieber long but shorter) and glasses. When it comes to clothes, he usually wears jeans and a hoodie. Not much else to cover.

Instrument: Drums

Other: Zack is a good singer, but not like Carrie Underwood. He only has one parent, and that is his mom. He could go oncomputers and make beats and stuff like that. He is a nerd and but nobody really calls him that.

This will be fun. Also, could we post YouTube videos here if there is a moment like a Talent Show?

Thanks,

~Emilson

 
Lila had been anxiously awaiting the end of the day, super ready to get to the Pop Music Club. She loved it when everyone got together to make music, it was always a lot of fun. When the ball rang, she jumped out of her seat and darted out the door and down the hall. She would shout quick greetings to people, jumping around like a spider monkey jacked up on mountain dew. With a loud giggle, she wandered into the room where everybody would be meeting up. "Hi guys," she said cheerfully, getting her synth and mixing equipment out of the closet. She definitely had the most... interesting instrument. Her synthesiser was her baby.

 
(Accepted, emzz; please read the PM I sent you.)

Trent continued strumming his guitar, playing a C-chord and letting the note ring for a few moments before the sound disappeared under the loud noise of cymbals being hit. Knowing who it was, he grinned. He looked up from his guitar at Jessica and commented, "Man, you're such a hardcore drummer. Wait a few moments for recital, everybody isn't here yet." Hearing the door open, Trent glanced over to see Lila enter and get her equipment out of the closet. "Hey Lila, what's up?" Leaning back in his chair, he realized he was pretty darn hungry, so he reached into his bag slumped next to his chair and dug around in one of the small pockets for a few seconds before digging out a bag of sour gummy worms. Munching on them, he looked down at his guitar and then decided he would need to change one of the strings soon.

Jessica simply shot Trent a glare, drumming out a small tune before letting her hands fall still, dropping the drumsticks into her lap. She rested her head in her hands, leaning on top of the bass drum and watching as Lila entered the room in a whirlwind of cheerfulness before pulling out her mixing stuff. Jessica never saw the point of that stuff in this little 'pop club' of theirs. To her, you only needed three or four things: lead and bass guitar, drums, and a singer. Speaking of... "So who's going to be singing today?"

 
Zack ran into Room 504 hoping he wasn't late. "I'm not late am I? Anyways I see Jessica is playing Drums today. I guess I could sing." Zack dropped his bag, and started sketching in his sketchbook while waiting for everyone to come in the Room. He started to think of different ways he could repose Pikachu.

 
"Okay, whatever. Get warmed up, guys. We need to be ready for our lunchtime performance in two days, it'll be like our chance to recruit more members into the club. Hopefully, members who are in choir so we can get better singers." Trent repositioned his fingers and strummed the strings of his guitar again, this time producing an F-chord. He proceeded to do a few more cords after that- a G-chord, a E-chord, an A minor chord, and a B chord. He loved his guitar so much, loved the tingly feeling of his fingers on the strings. As long as he could play guitar, he would be happy. Something occurred to him at that moment. "Oh yeah, have you guys decided what we should play for the lunchtime performance? I think we should probably try to play songs that most people have heard before so that way we can attract more attention," Trent said.

 
Name: Camilla "Milla" Harris

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Personality: She's the kind of girl who is a little to outgoing. She will walk up to a random person and say, "Hi? What are you doing? How are you?" Other than that she has a lot of hospitality for other people. If someone was sad or got hurt, she would be the first to help that person. She gets good grades and loves all music.

Looks: Milla has sparkling blue eyes with a caramel colored hair. Her hair is halfway down her back and is usually left down. Her eyelashes are long and curly. She has tanned skin and long legs. She has a round sweetheart face with a generally normal nose. She has a preppy style and likes skirts and colored jeans.

Instrument: Electric Keyboard

Other(Skill at instrument, singing ability..): She can play guitar and has a plesant voice. It's not amazing though. She has taken voice lessons so she can control breathing and such, but her voice isn't professional.

(Accepted, but make sure your character has some faults shown in the actual RP since your form doesn't really show too many faults)

 
Jessica fell still, glaring at Zack. "Of course I'm on drums. I'm always on drums." She said slowly, only breaking eye contact with Zack when Trent spoke. Of cpurse, she wasn't ALWAYS on drums - other people had a go, natch, but she classed herself as the 'main' drummer. After a pause, she turned to Trent, rolling her drumsticks in her hands, enjoying the feel. "Dunno. First we've gotta decide if we're doing one of our own songs or a cover of an existing song to make it awesome."

 
Trent paused from his guitar playing, and then looked up at Jessica. "I say we do a cover of a song, since most of the people will be busy talking and eating, and the only way to get them to pay attention to us would be to play a song they recognize, so they'll actually stop to listen. If we play an original song they'll just be all-" Trent started to imitate chewing and lip synced blabbing loudly. "Like that. I would probably do the same if someone starting playing music I didn't recognize."

 
"Jessica, you aren't always on Drums. It's not like you are the main drum player." Zack thought this would get fighty, so he started drawing Pikachu again. "Maybe a Pop / R&B song?" Zack said as he finished drawing Pikachu's eye. "Something like T.G.I.F, Super Bass, Alone Again, The Time of my Life, Forget You, ABC, The Show Goes On, Dynamite, Who Says, or one of those upbeat songs. I like the upbeat songs because they are fun to dance to and to sing along to. But you don't have to sing those."
