Hidden in plain sight. You are a Music student.



Music is no longer appreciated. It is no longer taken seriously as a passion and certainly not as a career. At University of Vermont, you must pursue a different field, something that you could actually make a living in doing, and something you won't be patronized for. However, in a place that very few know of, Abbey Falls, is where all the others like you gather to do the thing they really love, share their gift of music. Singers and instrumentalists from all over the state of NY gather here to sing, play and others, simply just to listen. Abbey Falls could be described as your safe place. There is a beautiful open field, a small waterfall that runs into a little stream and a secret building only people with certain abilities can access. Unless of course if you're a student and you have your necklace. Because no one appreciates music anymore, no one knows what a whole note, half note, fermata or rest looks like. Be as expressive with your musical symbols as you want; no one knows what they mean. Lie about it all you want. Each Music student receives a necklace the first day of class with which they can be identified by.



You come here for class. Yes you have your other classes you don't really care about such as Math, English, Biology, whatever your major requires. But you also signed up for music classes. Choir, Music Theory, Keyboard Lab, Concert Band and Composition are held here in a building only few know of. Don't be fooled. The building is disguised to resemble someone's house. Look for a rather large log cabin. You may sign up for only one or even all of these classes, but there is a catch. Enroll at your own risk. In this society, music majors are the bottom of the barrel. You would be questioned, shunned and turned away by the majority of the school's population. That is why you must choose a false major when you enter the University. Whatever it be, it can't be Music. They would not have accepted you if they knew you were someone they did not respect. You are looked down upon as a waste of the government's time and money. You must play the part. You will be disenrolled should anyone find out.



You may choose to live on campus, with relatives or in an apartment nearby the school. Living in the dorms is the most dangerous option, but an option nonetheless. This will require the most secrecy. You will have roommates and they will ask you questions. Let's just say you become a very good liar at this point in your life. All instruments are kept at the music building and NEVER leave Abbey Falls. This must be clear to everyone. You may try to break the rules if you like but don't expect me not to react to it. . .

The instruments you may choose from if you are an instrumentalist is as follows: (If you don't know what one is, look it up)



And of course, if you're a vocalist, you are your own instrument.

Now I must explain your Gift. Something has always been different about you since you discovered that Music was your passion. Something awoke inside of you. You have an ability that others do not and also, cannot comprehend. Whether it be your voice, or something involving the instrument you play, you have some sort of supernatural ability. This ability is both meant in a literal, magic sense and also in a metaphorical one since you can play an instrument, which is a gift of its own. Please be creative! I would love to see some off the wall shit up in here. Whether it be healing, fighting, invisibility, anything. Unless its too OP. Then I will yell at you for it. Choose wisely.

Here are the rules:

Okay so I just read your character sheet and I like her a lot. I am sorry I did not include guitar in the realm of instruments being allowed to play and I am going to edit that right away. I am only going to ask you to change one thing, that being the anime appearance you included in your CS. To be fair, you didn't know because I didn't specify, but I would prefer real looking people to anime. So if you could find a different image for her appearance, that would be much appreciated.

Also, I am a tad bit confused as to what her gift is. . . Your CS seems to hint that she hasn't discovered it yet? Or can your singing voice heal wounds? If you could please clear that up that would be great.

Thank you for pointing out my lacking in the appearance category of my CS and I am going back to edit that in right now.

How would you like the instruments, personality, gifts, and bio to correlate? Examples would be nice~

@solokolos

Personality can be it's own thing as it doesn't depend on their gift. The instrument, bio and gift should correlate in some way. For example, "throughout her middle school years, the trombone was always something she felt drawn to. . . " Then proceed to explain what her gift is. A given characters gift does not have to be directly tied to the instrument they play. If they are a singer however, their gift would naturally have something to do with their voice. Question answered?

Name: Roger KΓ₯re Ormonde
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Roger's most striking feature has always been his eyes. Their color are a darker brown, but they always wander. His distracted nature makes him seem like a man without true intent and focus, without opinions or judgement. Simple existence is seemingly enough for him. Roger has relatively short brown hair, and wears casual clothes. His height is about 5' 10" and he has a softer face. He is heavier then he should be, and not trying to fix that out of apathy.
Sexuality: Bisexual
Personality: Roger is quite at best, and not present at worst. People will forget his presence often, and not notice him leaving or entering once a conversation picks up that he is not participating in. Unfortunately he just isn't an interesting person, through no fault of his own. He tries his best to stay caught up in all of his academics, and normally succeeds. If there is one thing he isn't lacking it's free time.He is a bit shy, and hard to talk to, mostly through his own fault.
Relationship Status: Single
Family/Friends: Deceased and nonexistent.
Bio:(I'd like to keep this out of the cs for now, if that's alright.)
Gift: Roger's gift seems like a cruel joke most of the time. He can make himself or people around him ethereal, unable to interact with anyone or anything, able to change height relative to the earth, and move through solid objects at will. The experience is a bit nauseating
Instrumentalist or Vocalist: Instrumentalist, trumpet.
False Major: Electrical Engineering
Years Attended University: Has attended uni for one year.

I like the premise you're going for here as far as the "one who's never noticed" thing. However, his gift needs to be connected with his instrument because it is not a superpower. The gift comes from their talent as an instrumentalist. And just a curious question, why are you wanting to keep his history out of the CS? For any particular reason, or have you just not thought of anything yet?

A given characters gift does not have to be directly tied to the instrument they play.


I took that to mean that I wouldn't have to tie the character's gift and instrument together directly. As far as bio I have one written up, I just feel like it would betray Roger as a character to have his bio spelled out so clearly on the form. I can pm it to you if you want.

No it's fine for you to keep it a secret. I am interested to see. And as far as his gift goes, it needs to be musical. Your character plays the trumpet but his gift has nothing to do with music. As of right now it is more like a superpower that isn't connected to anything.

Hey guys I apologize for this but I am going to have to be dead for a while. I just started college and I need some time to get used to my classes, the atmosphere and my new friends. I may or may not have time to continue this role play later on in the year but I will be active sporadically. Thank you all for showing interest and we may continue later.
