[Talents]
Tatsuya is an accomplished singer and guitarist, though she prefers electric guitar.
[Role]
Lead Singer/Guitarist

[Brief Background]
Tatsuya grew up with two moms, who wanted their daughter to be heavily involved in activities. Tatsuya was placed in soccer, dancing, tuba lessons, piano, drawing, and any other activity to keep her well-rounded. They were proud that their daughter could juggle it all quite well, and being an only child, they were heavily invested in her. However, the day Tatsuya picked up a guitar sealed her fate. She was hooked, so much that she neglected the rest of her activities. Her mothers were fine with it, because they were quite impressed with her abilities as well.

Wishing to break free of the boring life of public school, Tatsuya auditioned for Ongaku with her best friend, and grew ecstatic when they were both accepted. There, she hopes to be the leader of a rocking, rebellious band!

[Brief Background]
Like most students from Ongaku Academy, Tsukino is from a prestigious, wealthy family with a strict father and a distant mother. Though disapproving of his talents, his father is still loving and grudgingly allows him to follow his dreams. That is, in exchange for hard work of course. Tsukino is a seasoned student of Ongaku and is like everyone's big brother. He is often asked to give tours and help students adjust. He initially knew Tatsuya from one of her mothers working as a maid in his household, so they kept in touch and he is quite supportive of her idea for pitching up a band.

Ongaku Academy

"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!

The Band (Voice Acting?)

@MissCapnCrunch No, no, no Japanese accents! Think of this roleplay as an English Dubbed anime. c:

The Band (Voice Acting?)

Oh, so I guess the main character and my character will be rom the same place? Will they be from Japan or?

@Obscene Symphony

Yes. Every character will be Japanese or from Japan and will have Japanese names. Except the bassist, who will be from America, but I would prefer he have a Japanese nickname. c: And to answer your question on the room thing, I don't know. It may knit the group more together if they have different roommates, but they'll be in the same hallway.

<Snipped quote by Rika>

I'll keep you company in that category :D

@MissCapnCrunch

owo Yay! <3 So, you, me, and I think Sera will be voice acting!

The Band (Voice Acting?)

Okay! Fine with me! It seems the majority won't be voicing. c: I may give it a shot!
