"I'm not the same when I'm with you.

I'm broken.

But I'm restored too."


~Music is the ultimate healer. They've all come to know that, and somehow, that very fact all bound them all together.


Ongaku Academy is the most prestigious performing arts school in Japan. They've made millionaires, famous performers; they've made champions. They've created talented men and women for twenty-five years, but now, the school is accepting fresh new faces. Two best friends are accepted into the school after multiple times of trying to apply. They are shown to their dorms, given their class schedules, and that's that. But for the first time in Ongaku Academy history, one friend is determined to do what has never been done before at the Academy: start a band. In an Academy filled with classical performing arts students, ballet dancers, aspiring Picassos, the friend looks to defy all odds and break through tradition. All the while, the other friend doubtfully follows behind. The goal is simple: find three more students that don't sound terrible, are also willing to play, and are fairly attractive.

Fighting the school board, personal home problems, a battle with rival students, and even romantic struggles, five students struggle to attain what they want most: to scream and shout and play music with passion and joy. It is the ultimate drug, after all. And so, the two friends go on a wild chase in search for these three people, unknowingly getting caught with the sheer pleasure of the Academy's wonders. It's just like any high school after all. Just more brutal and. . . beautiful.


The Super Very Important Rules:

1. I want 2-3 paragraphs a post for each character.

2. No God-Moding, perfect characters, attention-seekers, or outcasts. Yes, a character can be shy and withdrawn, but to have them constantly avoid the group will never let the roleplay progress. You can't expect the group to always come chasing after your character!

3. If you're going to be gone, let me know ahead of time. That, of course, doesn't apply if it's an emergency.

4. Character development. I can't stress this enough.

5. If I don't believe your character will add anything to the roleplay, I can reject it as I so please. If I believe you can't keep up with the group, you're gone. I'm not trying to be rude or a tyrant, but I have a low tolerance for ignorant people. >_<; Sorry.

6. Don't be shy to pitch ideas or little arcs! c: I'm very open to those.

7. If you want romance, let me know. A little romance never hurt!

8. The most original rule of all: Have fun!

[Name]
Paris Uzumaki

[Age]
16

[Grade]
Year 2

[Role Wanted]
The Pianist

[Talents]
Quite polished classical piano player, though she has a secret passion for hip hop dancing.

[Brief Background]
Born on a frigid winter morning, Paris was given her names when her mother demanded that Paris' father run and gather a pastry from the nearest bakery. From that moment on she would be known to her family as their little cream puff. (She hates this nickname that they can not let go.) Paris was raised in a fairly well off family. Her father was a rampant and very busy business man and her mother had the luxury of staying home and bossing around raising Paris.

Paris' mother just wanted her daughter to prim and crisp example of a young woman. She dressed her daughter in dresses as often as possible and made sure her hair was brushed and her nails clean and polished. She got her started on playing the piano at around preschool age and was very strict that she practiced every single day after finishing school work.

Entering the academy was the highlight of Mrs. Uzumaki's life. Her daughter now had paper work. PAPER WORK! Mrs. Uzumaki made sure to grab plenty of brochures and pamphlets so she could show her friends and husband's colleagues later. Paris rolled her eyes before resting on a group of older students.

Hip hop dancers.

Paris was in awe. Their movements were so skilled and polished. Something the girl had very well developed within her finger tips but not her entire body. Taken out of trance by her mother's grip. "Those are the people I want you to stay away from ESPECIALLY." she emphasized, shaking her head in disappointment. Paris nodded but her heart longed to be in that scene.

It is now Paris' second year at the Ongaku Academy and she is still on a steady path to perfect her piano skills and continue to impress her parents. She's a little boy crazy cause she's a silly daydreaming' teenager- but she has not even had her first boyfriend or kiss yet.


[Five Words to Describe Character]
Well Manicured. Daydreamer. Gullible. Friendly. Easily Excited.

[Appearance]
Les would consider himself a strapping young gent fit to take any young lady he wanted if he was right of mind. He isn't, obviously. He isn't exactly ugly just not good looking, more average than anything. He has a crooked nose that slightly bends to the right in the middle after being broken. His face is thin and his jawline is far from square. His eyebrows are thin and brown, almost the same colour as his hair. He has big, round brown eyes that rest just under his eyebrows and are almost, but not quite too close to his nose. His hair is shaven on both sides, but long enough to reach his shoulders down the middle. His hair is slightly lighter than his eyebrows and could be considered almost dirty blond rather than brown. He has the start of a moustache growing on his lip.
Voice: Les has a strong southern American accent that is rather nasally and somewhat high pitched.
[Name] Lester 'Les' Alexander
[Age] 18
[Grade] Year 4

[Talents]
He is very good at woodwork and making figurines or sculptures from wood. He's also pretty good at bass, specifically 'slapping' it but that's not the reason they got him in.
[Role Wanted] Bassist

[Brief Background](Sorry it's a bit long, kind of went crazy while writing it)
Les was born in the far south of America. He is what could be considered 'trailer trash' as his family barely made enough to scrape by even within their mobile home. His mother was an aspiring poet who couldn't get her works published while his father was a lumberjack. His parents were both rather young when Les was born and so they didn't really have a plan for bringing up, Les other than just winging it. As a result of their lack of money, Les was often left to explore and play outside rather than staying inside to play with his new games console or something. He and his friends got into a lot of trouble because of this lack of things to do. They would often hop fences deliberately trying to get caught just for doing something to do. The worst case of this was when they were hopping fences and Les' jeans got caught on a stray bit of wire and sent him tumbling down onto the concrete below, resulting in his broken nose.

Les first discovered his musical talent when his grandfather handed him down his old bass guitar. Les was a natural with it, his grandfather gave him lessons every week and, Les began to copy old CD's his father had to the best of his ability after he began to get the hang of things. His main base of criteria for music was 90s rock music, but he sometimes delved into various other eras such as the 80s and 70s. He discovered his talent with woodwork around his twelfth birthday. He wanted to get a summer job so he could get some extra money and buy a new guitar. He got a job at his fathers lumberjack company, but was set for an alternate route than just cutting down trees after he was noticed by one of the higher up members within the organisation. They offered him the chance to get a few lessons in woodworking and possibly make some wood ornaments and furniture. He accepted and discovered he was quite handy at making wooden furniture. He went on to make various sculptures and miniatures which received acclaim from various friends and family Les knew. It was only when, Les' uncle remarried that he was discovered by Ongaku academy.

Les' uncle had a job in transport, which of course involved a lot of travelling. He met his new wife in Japan and they were soon married after being near perfect matches. The marriage took place in America, where Les met his new family. They couldn't have been more different. Les' side of the family were loud and energetic while the new, Japanese side of the family were quiet and courteous. Les began to learn Japanese before the wedding just so he could talk to his new cousins. He was far from fluent when the wedding happened, but he could at least make some sort of conversation with his new cousins. In a drastic stroke of luck, his new auntie's brother was actually one of the teaching staff at Ongaku before he retired. He had heard of Les' woodwork and was very impressed when he saw it. He recommended Les for Ongaku and just about the entire family scraped enough together to send him to it. He joined when he was 15 and was now fluent in Japanese, save for a word or two. Often times people originally from Japan would have trouble understanding him because of his accent, but that only happens very rarely now. He was rather ostracised when he first appeared at the school because of his drastically different culture and appearance. He gathered a small friend base as time went on though, he prefers to stick to this group rather than have a big group of friends he would find hard to keep track of. He writes to his old family every week and now lives with his auntie and uncle in Japan.

If a Japanese person were to say "Les", they would pronounce it "Resu" because there are no "L" sounds in katakana or hiragana! For example, a Japanese person would pronounce the name "Lily" like "Riri" or "Laura" as "Rora"! Make sense? c:

I'm not sure if Rika is online anymore but I'm pretty sure she said she'd accept people on a quality basis rather than a first-come-first served basis. I'm not entirely certain though but I think it should be ok.
