Soooooo, hello. I decided to come up with a sort of Roleplay plan based around a genre I don't usually go for. Something, that is, based around the lives of aspiring, modern musical artists. As the title suggests, it'd be about how Bands, soloists or duets [Etc] slowly grow in the eyes and ears of the Music Industry, mainly basing around a slow and difficult start. Whether it is collaberated with other Roleplayers, or you just in a Band of side characters to accompany yours, that's what makes it a bit more interesting. There'd hopefully be competitions, such as those Generic Battle of the Bands, that'd be used to boost certain Characters throughout. Eventually, most likely near the start, unaqcuainted characters would begin to meet one another in Pub-Gigs and the small areas relatable to said performance.
It wouldn't just be about the Music, is what I was going for. Having the difficulties in their regular struggles in groups, living and trying to keep what they want to be their career alive. As strange as it'd be, many of these Characters wouldn't live too far from one another, so interactions can still be done. Mingling with artists, joining and leaving performer's sides, I'm hoping to have a nice fit of different involvements. The roleplay will most likely be set in Southern England, as I'm familiar with it, though that can be changed.
Now here comes a couple of little discussion points for this Thread. First of all is the Music. It could be set in a parallel universe, to some extent, where famous artists are just fictional. Famous Modern musicians around at this time wouldn't exist, only the ones we can create names for. For the actual Musical performances, I guess you could stick to Music that already exists. I'm not sure how you could present it. Whether we select occasional songs we know out of the Roleplay, maybe starting towards the songs that are lower in quality and building up, and playing them during a IC Performance Post, or do something better, we need to discuss. Secondly, there's how much focus is wanted. I was planning on have it focus more on the actual lives of these young, aspiring individuals rather than just performing, giving the Roleplay some purpose. If there are any other specifications wanted, do tell. That goes for the first point. Anything you want or think might be interesting, try to put it down so we can slightly balance the Interest in a way that appeals to the majority of those interested.
Characters would be Original, of course. No bringing in real people, obviously, as that can get tedious and slightly weird at times. You as a Character can have different musical parts. Whether they are a solo singer, boy/girl band, Guitar, Drum, Keyboard, Synth, Bass Player, or even mix in a Saxophone or whatnot into their selected musical part, then go for it. They could mix vocals with an instrument, or not be able to sing at all. The most important part in a Musical group doesn't necessarily mean the best for the roleplay, however.
At this point, I'll leave it up to the people hopefully interested to let me know so I can get some ideas in for creating this. I don't necessarily have a wanted Roleplayer count, as long as it is more than myself I'm fine. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and I hope I have caught your interest!
