*Inspired by Disney's Tower of Terror*
The Black Cats. This was once a band who had become very popular in the 90's. It was a band of young teens that had started traveling around and playing music in different places. Everyone wanted to see them. They were the new thing and all focus was on them, making quite a few other artists, their family members, and sometimes just the haters of their music angry and jealous. On September the first, 1994, they were assigned to play at a very large and surprising high class hotel, which normally didn't happen for them (as they were rock band). But, they were never ones to turn down a show and accepted, coming to the hotel in high spirits. They set up their things, played a couple of songs and people were enjoying themselves. It was turning out to be a very good night for them.

Until the chandelier fell.

The chandelier fell from the ceiling, killing the four of them(whether it be instantly or they died of their injuries before the paramedics could get there is up to each person playing the characters). Through out the next year many strange things happened at that hotel. Music started playing from no where, lights would flicker. And more shockingly, anytime they tried to hang a new chandelier it would either fall within the next day, or be broken into pieces where it hung. Finally falling into the belief that the hotel was haunted by the band that died there, the hotel shut down not even two years after the incident.

Now, twenty years later a group of unknown artists, called the Kid's Next Door(can be changed on request of the members of the band haha), who are are greatly inspired by the band that died want to go see the last place that their favorite band played. So, they go to the rundown and scary hotel, only to find that maybe their favorite band might still be there, looking for something that might entertain them in their never ending life after death, and maybe even a way out of their dim and ghostly prison.

Rules
-This is Advanced. What I consider to be advanced is at LEAST two good sized paragraphs(preferably more, but we all have writers block) with good grammar, punctuation, spelling, and capitalization. No one is prefect, but at least try(in fact, it would be preferred if as you post your character to pm me with a example post(something from a previous rp or something you wrote up for this plot)).
-Reserving: my rules on this are you must send me your example post along with what character you wish to reserve before we reserve it for you. The reserve will last for 12 hours and then after that we will open the spot up again. Its only fair we do that that way we are not kept waiting and you can get the role you really want.
-Try to post at least once a day. I know its hard(believe me, im in college, i know). If you can't, give us a reason and we can work something out.
-If you read these rules, make add a 'character banner' to the top of your profile. An example of one will be the one above my character's profile. If you don't know how to make one than you can pm me and tell me your character's name and role and I will make one for you ;)
-I am on the look out for the character that killed the band(planned the chandelier to drop on them). I the person playing one of the eight available characters to also play this role. It doesn't have to be one of the band members obviously, but I want it to be a surprise so it would be better that way instead of having a separate person come in just for that role. It can be a sibling, disgruntled fan, manager, or one of the band members. It would be up tot he person taking the role. If you are interested, pm me.
-Be nice to each other and have fun :)

Name: Claira Blair Foster

Age: She was 20 when she died and is now stuck at that age forever.

Band: The Black Cats

Position: Singer

Bio: Claira's life was a good life at first. She only had her mother, as her father had left them when she was very young, but that didn't matter. Her mother was all she needed. This was why when her mother died in a car wreck when Claira was just 12 something inside of her died with her mother. The young girl became more withdrawn and with no one in her family being able or willing to care for her, she was put into foster care, which really didn't help with her grieving at all.

She was moved from foster home to foster home for a while. She didn't have much to her name during this time. Besides clothes the only thing she did have that was her was a musical keyboard that had belonged to her mother(her mother had been a music teacher at a high school when she was alive) and a music box her mother had gotten for her as a child. The music box was sued every night to put her sleep when her mother was alive and after her mother died she continued to play it before going to bed. They were her most important treasures.

It was at her thirteenth home since her mother's death,when she was 15, that Claira met the people that would change her life forever. Claira had been the quiet person in the back of the classroom, not really speaking to anyone and going mostly unnoticed. Especially in music class. She was one of the few who, known to everyone, always aced the tests and seem to know what she was doing as far as music went. Yet, because of this, it seemed to make her even shier than normal in music class and her teacher, wondering why she was being so withdrawn when her tests showed she knew a lot abut music, asked her to stay after class one day. When asked why he never spoke up n class, Claira just simply said she had stage fright, not wanting to go into her background with a teacher she barely knew. So, after that the teacher accommodated her, having it so when it came time to for the class to actually learn how to sing and play music, Claira was allowed to come after school and do her singing and instrumental tests after school. And one day, while singing her part for a test, three of the other students in her class happened to hear her and after that, they began approaching her more, trying to hang out with her. At first Claira was shy, refusing to interact with them, but slowly, she grew used to the presence and began to enjoy their company and consider them friends.

When asked to join the band their were putting together, Claira was unsure. The only ones that had ever heard her sing was them and her music teacher. She wasn't really one to sing in front of a crowd. But, she accepted, thinking it might be a good experience for her. They played and practiced at each other's homes(except for hers because she didn't want her foster parents saying anything about it), and they got better and better. Through out her next year of being in this band she kept it from her foster parents, afraid they would send her away again. She also didn't tell her band she was in foster care and kept talking about her home life to a minimum with them. Often she would spend time at their homes, whether it be to spend the night or just hang out, and with their families, enjoying the environment of an actual family. It was rare if she was at home.

A year after they had first gotten the band together, a huge contest was being held just a couple of towns over to find the 'next big thing'. They all got pretty excited and decided it would be a good opportunity for them. So, they loaded their things up and drove together, entering the contest. Not only that, they won. People were all over them, wanting to become their manager and make them big. After listening to a lot of them, and some of the teens asking opinions from their parents, they agreed on one named Mike Lulligold. It wasn't long after the televised contest though, that people dug into the backgrounds of these kids and found out her secret. That she was in foster care and currently up for adoption. People swarmed her foster home and foster care services to try and adopt her. And of course her foster parents, as they were in charge of what money he got from performing, were unwilling to see her adopted off.

It was very overwhelming for Claira and seeing how badly this was affecting her (either one of the band member's parents or their new manager. if you want it to be your characters parents, then pm me and let e know) stepped up and said enough was enough. They made plans to adopt her, but that was shot down by her foster parent, greedy to keep them with her for the money she brought in. Knowing this, the normally shy and with drawn Claira for once in her life, stepped up to speak for herself and went through a huge process to get away from her foster parents. After much struggle with the adoption agency, she was able to get it approved so that (the teen's parents or manager) was in fact able to adopt her and she became truly a part of the family.

After that, Claira was by far not shy or withdrawn any more. She was more relaxed, less anxious, and really happy. She was outgoing and not afraid to speak up. It was a good thing for her. A month after the adoption was finalized, the Black Cats began their tour going around and preforming for huge crowds of people. Everywhere they went they were swarmed by fans and they were often found on tv, performing as well and being interviewed. It was when she was twenty and the band had been together for five years, that the accident happened and they died.

Appearance:


Other: After they died and the hotel shut down, each of the teens took over a room in the hotel to all their rooms. They were able to find their bags that they had originally brought to the hotel and got their things out, taking them to their rooms. In her own room, there is nothing there besides her keyboard in the corner and her mother's music box on the vanity. Though she often plays with these items, they remain dusty and full of cobwebs from years of not being touched by a living soul. At night, the music box can be heard playing through out the hotel.​
