[OOC] Music Legends

[Saarebas]

"We all have heard the old saying that music is magical, well once in an age long forgotten those words rang true. Yes once upon a time soft musical tones of someone's voice could mend broken bone and torn flesh, the booming sound of a bass could call down thunder from the sky, and the blowing of a horn could conjure up winds stronger than any storm. This was all back in the time when man still knew how to honor the music gods, back in a time when countless mystical beasts roamed the land, back in the time of Music Legends!"

This RP is about the lives and adventures that the inhabitants of the mystical land of Caesura. Caesura is a mindboggling huge land with scorching deserts, towering mountains, dank swamps, and everything in between. The magical land is also home to a massive assortments of mystical beasts, from giant spiders that spin guitar strings to birds that let out screeches louder than a hundred speakers. Along with the beasts of the lands are the tribes of people that dot the landscape. These tribes have all learned of the power of music and the gifts they receive if they praise the gods of music properly. Such as those who have sworn themselves to the gods of heavy metal have been blessed with chariots so fast that they need no beast to pull them, they call these chariots "hot-rods". Or how those who worship the gods of smooth jazz have been taught the magic of soothing the wildest of beasts. What will you do with your gift from the gods? What gods will you pledge your life to? Will you manage to become a Music Legend?

Just as a side note I got the idea of this RP from playing the game brutal legend, but I only used that as a base nothing more. Now that is out of the way lets move on to the fun part shall we? Yes friends I mean...*pause for dramatic effect*... The rules! XD

Da Rulez
1. First off the time honored one for all RPs, no godmodding or powerplaying. If there are fights in the IC, and I hope there are, just try not to be like the kid on the play ground that says "You didn't hit me because of my super-duper-nothing-can-break shield was on!"
2. This one goes hand in hand with the first rule. When you are making a character don't go over board. We are in a fantasy world powered by music sure, but there is no need to go crazy XD but yeah don't just use your head when writing your CS
3. I don't mind drama in the IC, it's suppose to be there, but let's keep it out of the OOC, good vibes only dudes and dudettes
4. PG-13 guys, that goes for romance and fighting. No all out bloods baths in the IC and keep the serious romance in the PMs
5. Let us know if you're going to be gone for more than a day or so, I don't mind it just keeps people from being stuck in post lock
6. Put Even The Gods Need A Good Roadie somewhere in your CS to show you read the rules
7. My Co-GM spot for this RP is currently open
8. Feel free to shoot any of your ideas at me at any time I don't mind at all :)
9. Put your CS in the OOC and wait for approval before posting it in the Character Tabs
10. Have fun!

[DJAtomika]

I have a suggestion for the name of the world. I take it from the notes I've been writing on my own musical fantasy world.

Caesura.

Latin for 'a brief pause'.

And I'd like to be the co-GM. I could share lots of my notes with you.

[Saarebas]

@DJAtomika I like that, it has a nice ring to it. And sure I would love to have you as my Co-Gm, you seem like you have some good ideas :)

[DJAtomika]

Why thank you. This is kinda like the way I envisioned my original idea to be, except I couldn't pull it off as well as you could. XD

[NightmareInd]

Name
Sam Spark

Age
16

Appearance

He also has a pair of headphones he wears around his neck, but he puts them on when he uses his 'Instrument'.

Gender
Male

Genre/Tribe
The TT, short for Techno Tribe, are a carefree tribe, who just like to party. They have much energy, and also dance. They like to come together and party a lot. To have the best parties, they gather at night and have big lightshows with loud music. Because their music uses a lot of existing styles and remixes them, they tend to co-operate with other tribes. However, because there are people who don't appreciate their loudness and 'spoiling their culture' and such, they are a nomadic tribe, which means they move around.

Instrument/Weapon
He carries a small portable version of a discjockey table on his back, which he calls the Mixer 4000. It is able to create shockwaves with coloured lights. These are not only very pretty at his tribe's parties, but can also be distracting and pack a punch. They are very powerful and ranged, but limit Sam's ability to move while using it.

Personality
Sam seems carefree at first sight, but that is because he actually is really wise, and the only way to not suffer under these wisdoms is to not think about them. He enjoys nothing else like making music, but as fighting in this world also means making music, he doesn't step back from a good challenge.

Bio
Sam was a famous young DJ, and hosted several parties and festivals. However, he wanted to get closer to the other genres of music and to pursue his goal of making a remix where all genres were converted into, he went to roam around the world, in search for other tribes and learn about their ways of making music.

Other
I might make a new character later, as even the gods need a good roadie.

[Saarebas]

@NightmareInd Seems good accepted :)

[NightmareInd]

@Saarebas Thanks! Also, something I forgot to mention, the TT special ability is that they have much energy. They don't need sleep, they don't get tired, and they quickly recover from injuries. Is that also okay?

[Kurai Assassin]

@Saarebas my CS is in the Character tab

[Saarebas]

@NightmareInd Just depends on how fast they recover.

@Kurai Assassin Okay four things

1. Could you please post your CS here before putting it in the Characters tab, this is my fault as I didn't say in the first place where to put it but as a further notice all non accepted CSs go in the OOC

2. Can you remove all the () parts, that is just a personal preference

3. What is the name of your tribe?

4. The back story doesn't make much sense, if you were going for a Brutal Legend type origin I applaud you, but have to say I can't allow it. All the characters here are from well here.

Oh also rule 6

[Kurai Assassin]

fair enough

[Kitty]

I'll be making my pop character tomorrow after studying for my AP test!

[Rin Okumura]

I should've said this earlier, working on my CS already for HEAVY METAL!!!!!!!!! *insert heavy metal scream*

[NightmareInd]

@Rin Okumura you know youre supposed to post it in the character tab after you get accepted, right?

[Kurai Assassin]

@Saarebas ive sorted my CS

[Saarebas]

@Kurai Assassin Looks good now, Approved :)

@Rin Okumura Looks good, though @NightmareInd is right you are suppose to put the CS in the OOC first. But seeing as I didn't say that in the rules again *face palm* I will let it slide. Approved :)

Okay so I officially put the "put CS in the OOC first" rule in the first post, so it is now a law! XD

[NightmareInd]

Can't whait for this to start off! I even rewatched the inspiration for my weapon. Be warned, it contains violence.

[Savi]

Adelisa "Dela" Storm

Age
19

Appearance

· Height: 5'0
· Weight: 98
· Other: she has a scar on her neck but it's mostly faded.

Gender
Female

Genre/Tribe
A Pop Punk tribe called the Outsiders, they are a very carefree set of people. They don't play by any genre rules and they refuse to think they are not "punk" or "pop" because they are both. Because of their mixed thinking and their wacky style, they are exiled to the land of Misceo. They have their own part of the land called Forgotten Souls and they tend to stay there most of the time. In fact, no one really sees the Outsider tribe. They only send out one or two people to gather what they need from other tribes but otherwise they keep to themselves.

Instrument/Weapon
Dela holds a wireless microphone that doubles as a sword. Kind of like Thor's hammer, no one else can really pick it up because it was designed for Dela specifically.

Personality

Dela is the type of girl that guys tend to stay away from because they think she is a tough girl. In actuality, Dela is very kind and gentle with a feisty, stubborn shell. She can be very sarcastic and blunt about things that people are oblivious too, but in the same situation she is oblivious purposely. She tends to push people away for her own protection, but still goes up to people and chats with them randomly. She can be very depressed and suicidal, but she hides it behind an outgoing, sarcastic girl. She blushes easily, but hates admitting to it. She does what she wants to do, she wears what she wants to wear, and she says what she wants to say.

Biography

Dela was a legend among her tribe. Her father was a punk god and her mother was a pop queen and they fell in love. Sadly, as all Romeo and Juliet scenerios go, they were ostracized from their families and their tribes. They left and stayed in Misceo, adding Dela to their family. Eventually people followed in their footsteps because of the fandom and they became the leaders of the Outsiders. Dela was the first true product of pop punk and eventually, she became their leader at the age of 3. Obviously her parents took care of everything until she turned 11, when they died of illness. Dela took over and eventually the tribe followed the way she dressed and acted, truly becoming pop punk. Dela now wants to reach out to the other genres so her tribe can get the aid they need to get a cure for the illness that killed her parents.

Other

· She has a few tattoos
· She hates the pop and punk tribes for what they did to her parents
· Even the Gods need a good roadie

[DJAtomika]

I would like to reiterate for all those considering joining this RP.

Please post your characters in the OOC first, not the characters tab. Post them here for approval first, and only shift them to the Chars tab once we've looked over and approved them.

That being said, I shall submit my own character for approval here. Hopefully @Saarebas sees this. XD

Name
Jonathan "Johnny" Twostep

Age
26

Appearance

Picture be big yo

Johnny stands six feet four inches tall and weighs roughly 160 pounds. A lightweight figure for a light-footed man. His head of hair is dark brown and his eyes are blue. His usual dress is a well-tailored navy blue pinstripe suit jacket over a stark white cuffed shirt, an equally navy blue tie tucked into a waistcoat of the same colour, dress slacks of that colour and honed leather tap dancing shoes. A fedora sits atop his head and he normally wears stark white dress gloves to go along with his formal dress.

Gender
Male

Genre/Tribe
Johnny hails from the tribe of the Swing people; collectively known as the Oldies of Oldtown, his tribe are one of the oldest in the whole of the land. The music they practice and play is also one of the oldest forms of music in the land, as attested to by their elders. Eons ago, Jazz, Swing and Blues were formed from the hearts and souls of the early Caesurans during their trials and tribulations of terraforming their unstable land into their homes. Their blood, sweat and tears distilled through their emotions and into their voices and song, and thus the Trifecta of Trials were born. Jazz, Swing and Blues make up this trio, and Johnny's tribe were the first of the Swingsters in Caesura. He is of their current generation, when the music has reached new levels of ingenuity and excellence yet they dream higher and greater, and he carries these hopes and dreams of his people with him.

Instrument/Weapon
His weapons are a pair of tap-dancing shoes that imbue both his legs and feet with great strength and speed as well as the raw power of sound. His kicks are able to break the speed of sound as a result, and any time he stamps his foot or feet he creates a shockwave that travels through the ground that dissipates over distance and time. His main fighting style is that of what you would know as tae kwon do, mixed with a healthy dose of good ol' fashioned tap dancing, swing dancing and other forms of footwork. The metal plates and braces on his shoes are also hardened and strengthed metals; lightweight and superbly sturdy under pressure of combat and dancing.

Though a peaceful people, when threatened by nature or other tribes, the Swingsters were forced to develop a fighting style wholly of their own; and since the basis of much of their music came from their hands, the style they developed was based entirely around the use of legs and feet.

Personality
Johnny is a very laid back and suave fellow, one you would see leaned up against a wall or a bar counter, drink in one hand, a woman in the other. He's smooth and slick, cunning and feisty, yet kind spirited and gentle to boot, in stark contrast to his fighting style. A ladies man all the way, he is the most gentlemanly to those of the fairer gender, going out of his way to make sure they receive the utmost respect that befits them. With other guys, he's very chummy, the bro amongst other bros, and you'll never see him without a smile on his face unless something's very, very wrong, because Johnny is also very optimistic and cheerful, something that's helepd him all through his life.

Bio
Being a current generation Swingster brings along its share of troubles, and for Johnny, nothing was more troubling than being the sole heir to their style of self defense. All Swingsters knew how to fight to defend themselves, that was true, but Johnathan Twostep was the upcoming heir to the title of Maestro of Swing, something that he didn't quite fancy. Sure, he was the best fighter they had, but he simply didn't want the high life. He enjoyed his time spent in the dives and bars of his home town, Basin, and the relevant dangers that posed to his health. He loved the adrenaline and the adventure of it all. Being the Maestro meant that he'd spend the rest of his days cooped up in some boring school, teaching all the young Swingsters how to fight and to defend themselves. Not a life for him. He left Basin a week before he was to inherit the mantle, and as such his whole town got into an uproar.

Now Johnny Twostep is a fugitive from his own people, hunted by many to be brought back to Basin for a hefty sum, and yet he doesn't mind, for he knows how to live life to its fullest, and he won't let something as trivial as a bounty stop him.

Other

• John enjoys good, genuine cuisine, and tolerates the food of the other cultures well enough.
• Even The Gods Need A Good Roadie

[DJAtomika]

@Kurai Assassin Even though the GM's approved your sheet, I for one would like to see more personality in your character than just three words. Give it a go, write a full paragraph, at least, and do the same for your character's weapon and his appearance; elaborate on them, expand, give us a clearer image than just a picture or a simple description. Oh, and also sort out the formatting of your sheet, like, properly separate the sections and everything. Everything else is good to go.

@Rin Okumura Your sheet's good, but that shade of blue's hard to read. Perhaps something lighter that isn't so eye straining? XD

---

Gee I hope this RP doesn't accelerate too fast. I'm used to the slower pace in the Advanced forums, so being here in Free is kinda like going from a quiet country road to the bustling freeway.

Heh, s-see what I did there. Free, freeway, ahaha, ahehe, heh...I'm gonna go now.

[Kurai Assassin]

@DJAtomika ok i might but in all fairness it should be specified in the rules, otherwise i suggest putting it in the casual tab where people are more or less gonna be writing that already
