Outraged at the school's banning of the Glee Club, Rachel, Kurt and the gang rallied together to bring back the club that had once brought them together and gave them purpose in their four years of high school.

Now, you are a part of this generation of Gleeks - an unlikely group who probably would have never come together had you not find out about the reemergence of a group thought to have been officially destroyed. Will the weight from the scrutiny of other clubs and school organizations bring you down? Or will your own desires for something more be what lifts you up? What is the mark that you have left along these hallway floors? Are they stains of triumph and joy, or are they tears? And now that the glee club has been brought back, who will you be? The one who secretly sings in showers, but doesn't have the heart to do it in front of the same peers you see every day? The one who dreams of having their name in lights? The one who simply wants to pass the time? Or someone chasing a dream you didn't even know you had? The choice, my friend, is yours and you make it once you step through door of the choir room.

{The Rules}

1. Have Fun
This is one of the most important rules of them all. Don't be miserable and make others miserable. Roleplaying is about creating a story with other writers and having pure fun.

2. Respect
Please respect my decisions, roleplay and your fellow roleplayers. This is also one of the most important rules. I realize some characters won't get along, but don't make your character a bitch or a know-it-all. There is nothing more annoying. Also, please respect other people's characters.

3. Characters
Make your Character realistic and interesting, please. Also, if someone has submitted a character before you did, make sure you read over their character sheet before submitting your own, just to be sure that they are not similar. This is a realistic, high school roleplay. Humans have weaknesses and flaws! Remember that. If you think anything different then this roleplay is not for you. Don't make your character one of those sad, wimpy types either those characters get boring really fast. And don't everyone make a female character please. Please use a real life image for you character. No anime or illustrations.

4. Character Sheets
Fill out all of the desired areas that have been provided please. And wherever you see where it says a required number of paragraphs, I really mean that required number of paragraphs.

5. PG-13
I am fine with a lot of things when it comes to swearing, gore and violence but when the clothes start coming off, fade to black or take it to the PMs.

6. Posting
This is a High Casual, literate roleplay and I am expecting at least three paragraphs from each person. That means that I will accept anything close to three paragraphs. Please be able to post at least two to three times a week. If I am going to be gone for a minimum amount of time, I will let you know and please show us and me that same gratitude. Also, for you speed posters out there, please allow at least two people to post after your last post before posting again. Please be committed and active in both IC and OOC.

7. Reservations
You may reserve a character but I will only hold your spot for two days, which should give you plenty of time. If you need more, shoot me a PM and I will extend your reservation. Also, to reserve, put your favorite song somewhere visible so I know that you have also read the rules. Thanks.

8. Commitment
Also another important rule. If you are accepted then please don't post one, or two posts then disappear. Stick it out till the end or just don't join at all.​

Theme Song | I Mean It - G-Eazy

▲N A M E;;
Bao Yang.

▲N I C K N A M E;;
Bao is just fine.

▲A G E;;
Sixteen.

▲G E N D E R;;
Female.

▲S E X U A L I T Y;;
Heterosexual.

▲R E L A T I O N S H I P S T A T U S;;

▲C L A S S F I C A T I O N;;

▲A P P E A R A N C E;;
Bao is of Hmong descent giving her a nice golden tan all year round. She had dark brown eyes and originally black hair that she lightens to a soft brown tone. She is petite, standing at around 5ft tall and weighs around 110lbs. Her clothing is very urban and comfortable. Her mother would say she dresses very sloppily, but everything has been planned to look as such. She wears makeup daily, and is never seen in public without it.

▲L I K E S;;
- Shades of red
- Home cooking
- Dancing (Hip Hop)
- Smoking hookah
- Staying up to date with fashion

▲D I S L I K E S;;
- Tradition
- Her nose
- Spending money
- Being center of attention
- Getting lectured by her parents

▲P E R S O N A L I T Y;;
Reliable. Easy Going. Optimistic. Silly.

A friend in need is a friend indeed! This saying applies to Bao in many shapes and forms. When you need her, she will be there. She is the type to drive to your house at any hour of the night in case you need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to cry on. Willing to do about anything if asked, she doesn't have very strong leadership skills or ability to command anyone to do anything. One to look on the bright side of the things, and lets you know that tomorrow will be a better day. She'll make damn sure of it.

However silly and carefree Bao appears to be, she often has moments of self doubt and self depreciation. Her parents have held a very tight leash on her, and want her to follow a traditional lifestyle in the Hmong culture, which she feels is a bit over the top. She hopes one day she can find a simple balance between the two.

▲B A C K G R O U N D;;
Plaub hau ntxhov thiaj yuav zuag los ntsis
Plaub ntug ntxhov thiaj yuav txwj laus los lis.

Tangled hair, use a comb to unsnarl it,
Complicated dispute, use an elder to solve it.

Bao has been raised under a traditional Hmong American household. One that dictates you do as your parents say, as they have done as their parents have told them. Originally born in Thailand, Bao's family came to America before Bao was even born. Her father works at a corporate office and her mother stays at home doing the cooking, cleaning, and raising of Bao's two younger sisters; aged 13 and 5. All in all they live a middle class lifestyle, in a small 3 bedroom home. Bao isn't very close to her parents, and looks to them as regulations and rules rather than guidance and friendship.

School was a serious thing for Bao, her parents expected her to do the very best that she was capable of, and then exceed that point. Her parents wanted her to be a doctor or a nurse or a lawyer, while Bao had eyes on the art scene- music, fashion, movies. Something that was considered a "stupid dream" and a "waste of time and money".

It was then she decided to join the Glee club.

Lying to her parents that she was taking up an after school study class to practice for ACTS and SATS exams, Bao went behind her parents back to go into the club that provided her with some release of stress from her everyday wear and tear of living up to her parents expectations. She has a longing to one day tell her parents about her activities but knows that it might be a catastrophic event when she does.

Wonder where everyone else is?

[MissCapnCrunch]

@iSuspect

Holiday shenanigans I suppose!
I've got a huge family so it takes hours for all of us to get together haha.
Had some free time so I decided I'd rather make a character for this than shovel snow ;)

Theme Song | If ever I would leave you - Lerner and Lowe

▲N A M E;;
Jamie Backer

▲A G E;;
16

▲G E N D E R;;
Male.

▲S E X U A L I T Y;;
Straight, but most don't know this

▲R E L A T I O N S H I P S T A T U S;;
Single

▲C L A S S I F I C A T I O N;;
Junior

▲A P P E A R A N C E;;
Jamie is a pretty boy, with natural good looks, and well-tended long hair. He has a wiry frame, and stands at six feet even. His eyes are a deep blue, and his fair skin is easily flushed. He generally wears natural make-up, occasionally putting in a little extravagant touch. His dress is very varied, but usually consists of form-fitting and revealing, relatively toned-down fashions to tone down the one or two accessories that really catch the eye.

▲L I K E S;;
Himself
Song
Dance
Campery
Breaking rules

▲D I S L I K E S;;
Cynics
Strict rules
Doing nothing
Injustice
Spanish lessons

▲P E R S O N A L I T Y;;
He has a lot of it.

When Jamie feels emotions, he feels them deeply. He is prone to romantic flights of fancy and delights in things large and small. He is a free spirit and a hedonist, going many places in search of pleasure. In conversation, he uses outlandish flourishes in his voice and body language. There are only a few things he takes seriously: his art and his friends; when he makes a promise, he keeps it, and when he goes to his 'place', he will not emerge for hours.

▲B A C K G R O U N D;;
His parents were... interesting characters. His mother is a multitalented artist, and his father was a politician and businessman. They largely live off the investments made by his family since his great-grandfather sold his soda company. His upbringing was fairly relaxed, but his parents made sure he was always safe, while they let him get away with quite a lot.

He was homeschooled for elementary, and was originally going to be sent to Dalton Academy for high school, but he failed the interview process due to non-conformity (read: his hair was too long). He has been trained in singing from fourth grade, and naturally wanted to join the glee club.

Hey, could you check my CS?

Nice character.

If you or @MissCapnCrunch might know people who are interested in this, please invite them or we could make a small 1x1x1 roleplay and I can double up on characters.

Just suggestions.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@iSuspect

I think the slowness is due to the holidays BUT if it ends up being just the 3 of us in the end, I don't mind that either :) Give it a few more days- and I'll see if any of the people I know would be interested as well.

[Natty]

I'm interested, although due to holiday shenanigans it may take a while to get anything done.

However I must ask, how would the singing aspect of glee club be done? I mean would we just say "Fred began to sing _______", or post a link to whatever they're singing or would we literally type out the lyrics? Apologies if that sounds dumb, I'm currently half asleep while writing this so idek if it makes sense!

@Natty

We would say began to sing then url link it, yes.

But typing out the lyrics sounds like to much, especially since Glee never sung the whole song before.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@iSuspect

Are we going to do like different "themes" depending on what is going on in the story at the time? Like I know that certain episodes had like songs from certain artists or themes. :) Might be kind of interesting to think about.

@MissCapnCrunch

That's how I have it planned out, yes. LOL.

[MissCapnCrunch]

@iSuspect

I'm so excited!!

@iSuspect

I'm so excited!!

@MissCapnCrunch

Me too! Just waiting for more people.

[King Tai]

Hmmm.....I'm checking this out.

[Aewin]

I'm interested, the only thing is that I have not caught up with the latest season of Glee (still stuck somewhere around season 3), so will this RP be referencing a lot of the original stuff?

[MissCapnCrunch]

@Aewin
I don't think there is going to be too much canon stuff ^^;
I don't much of anything about the show, and GM said that was just fine!

[Aewin]

@MissCapnCrunch Sweet. I should have a character up real soon~
