So I hear you are interested in Minamoto Academy. At my school, you will learn to become the best composer or idol your money can buy! I have many exercises that will form you into the ideal person you wish to be. Some people call my methods crazy, but does it really matter if I get results? What doesn't kill you, scars you for life! ...Oh...and makes you stronger... Come down to our lovely school and see for yourself! I'll be waiting!
[rainbow]--Ruka "Cougar" Minamoto-- ~Headmaster[/rainbow]
Thanks for your interest person who stumbled in here! This is an rp loosely based off from an anime called Uta no Prince-sama.
Quick summary = You will attend an academy to become either a pop idol or a composer. All the while, the headmaster will be trying to pair different people and holding crazy events (zombie apocalypse, Cross-dressing competitions, Intense beach volleyball, etc)
Here are some general notes which were in the Interest Check. (stuff in yellow is super important)
If you have made it past all my general notes, congratulations! Here is the Character Sheet Skeleton!
And now....here are some more notes pertaining to character creation. (stuff in Yellow is for everyone, stuff in red is for Idols only, stuff in blue is for Composers only)
Here are my two character sheets.
Alright, three things:
1) You will notice that I have two character sheets. One is for my PC that will be interacting with you guys on a more normal level. The other is our kooky headmaster NPC that will be popping in to cause trouble. Miyako's character...use her as an example. The headmaster's? Don't. The headmaster is supposed to be a broken character who doesn't follow the rules. If you make your character sheet modeled too much after her, I will boop you on the head and tell you to change it.
2) Post your character sheets here. When they are accepted, please repost them into the character bin (that will be coming eventually). I plan to make it pretty and create shortcut links so people can find characters a lot easier. I'll also be making pretty icons that people can use (not required) and plan to work on a banner (hopefully to advertise) ->Link to Character Bin<-
3) Should we be in need of some NPCs that become really involved, I will write out character sheets for them.
And now, one final, very very very important note!
We need to make sure that we add disclaimers anytime we use songs that aren't our own because we might get into a LOT of trouble with copyright stuff! The main thing is to say that you didn't write the song (if you didn't). The best thing would be to say the name of the song and who wrote it.
Whew. If you guys have made it this far, I thank you oh so very much. I know this may be a lot to deal with, but believe me when I say, I'm hoping to make this rp crazy fun once we get IC! Thanks for your patience and I hope to see your character~!

*Please note, there is no need to know what the show/game is in order to join!
Quick summary = You will attend an academy to become either a pop idol or a composer. All the while, the headmaster will be trying to pair different people and holding crazy events (zombie apocalypse, Cross-dressing competitions, Intense beach volleyball, etc)
Here are some general notes which were in the Interest Check. (stuff in yellow is super important)
1) This is loosely based off from Uta no Prince-sama. Therefore, there is no need to have played/watched it. This also means that there are NO CANON CHARACTER! People can make characters 'similar' to a canon character, but I don't want a carbon copy. I also don't want anyone related to a canon character.
2) No one has to predetermine who they are partnered with, but it is okay to do so. Just be mindful of the other person. (don't force people to partner with you if they say no) If for some reason it looks like someone won't have a PC partner, I will make an NPC to fill the role. (don't worry, to make up for it, I'll try to make them a desirable character for your PC)
3) As the GM, I will be throwing crazy things at you. In some senses, it might be considered Godmodding...but what do you think GM means? Game Master? Pffft. Just please be understanding if I randomly smuck your character with a bus. (don't worry, I will never kill a character...unless you want me to)
4) I only want one character per person. Bringing in a random NPC to help with story and moving your post along is fine, but DO NOT make the NPC a pivital character that is in your posts more than not. If the NPC becomes too important, I might just snatch him/her away and use them elsewhere, just to taunt you.
5) Making music can be done in many ways.
Linking to a song is good, but more importantly I want lyrics and the tone of the song (peppy, seductive, serious, etc). I do ask, however, that song lyrics be written in English (that means if you are using a song from a different language, translate it or find a translation). I'm not judging the song per se...but it will slightly come into play in a different way (again, mainly the tone). Grades will be based mostly on the actual rp you guys do. (the interaction between characters, reactions to things, etc). This DOES NOT mean that just having your characters get along without any problems will get you a good grade! Think about personalities (both normal and idol) and how they would work. A grumpy idol with a peppy composer means you guys probably shouldn't get along very well, at least at first. Act out your roles, don't treat the 'test' like a puzzle to be solved. If you guys get a bad grade, that might actually work into character development.
*This is a really good site I use to find Japanese songs (mainly anime, video games, and vocaloids) translated into English (if that is your thing). ->Link to Site<-
6) Even if you have a pairing predetermined, I may throw you with someone else, or add someone to your group. This is for character development, along with making this rp not so much a 1x1 but a group rp with possible 1x1 aspects. Remember, there is a chance that the headmaster will try to make a crack pairing, or will try to make a love triangle. Just roll with it and react the way your character would.
7) Romance is not required. However, if you do want a romance, you're in luck! I'm not picky what-so-ever. Want two idols to get together? Go ahead! Two composers? Sure! Guy with guy? Of course! Girl on girl? No problem! But like always, keep other people in mind and don't force your character on someone unless given permission. (Ex: If your character is homosexual, don't get upset if the heterosexual keeps saying no) However, I am okay with people agreeing OOCly that a character ICly keeps bothering another IC character for fun.
8) I would LOVE suggestions on wacky events! I already have some in mind (like you read above) but there can always be more. However, I would want those to be PMed to me, that way they can be a secret to everyone!

You can write your own music/lyrics
Take an existing song and treat it like you wrote it (ICly).
Take an existing song and change the words.

And now....here are some more notes pertaining to character creation. (stuff in Yellow is for everyone, stuff in red is for Idols only, stuff in blue is for Composers only)
1) The academy is called Minamoto Academy (because the headmaster is a narcissist and donated a bunch of money to the school).
2) The age group is 14 - 18 with grades being 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year. In special cases, I will allow people to be older (Ex: Said character has been failing to graduate for the past ___ years for ___ reason | Said character didn't join school until he/she was ___ because ___). There will be a limit of one or two characters that may do this and I will probably be a little more picky with them.
3) Please only use Japanese names. The ONE exception is an idol's Stage name/Group name. However, this won't be decided until pairs/groups are made, so just keep it in mind for now. In that slot, please write "To Be Determined Later".
4) I prefer people to use words to describe their character (but I love having pictures too!) The main things thathave to be in words are: Height, Hair color, Eye color. Don't forget! As a pop idol, you can wear wigs! Just make a note of that so we know.
5) No one can be both a composer and an idol. A composer can be a decent singer, or an idol can write decent lyrics/music, but there will be no masters of both. (except for the head'master' because "plot" reasons...I use "plot" really loosely.)
6) Remember, you are going to this school to become a composer/idol. No one will start as a full-fledged composer/idol. (or else you wouldn't even be at the school)
7) Just because your character is a composer, don't think you have to be an actual composer. As I state in the general notes section below, there are ways around making songs. Ask friends, use the internet, etc.
8) Idol personalities are what your character acts like when around fans and/or performing on stage. Remember that not all idol personalities have to be the same! Maybe your pop idol is a sex symbol? Maybe you're the really cute boyish type? Go crazy with making a fun pop idol! But remember, no full out grumpy pop idol personalities. No one wants to watch a pop idol with a scowl always on his/her face. (that can be their normal personality though)
9) This will be one of those times when personality is more important than history for this rp. (since it will be more of a comedy than a drama) Also, I actually encourage people to make wacky characters. (have really weird fear(s), a quirky personality, etc)
10) The trademark color is the color your idol wears when performing. Think about the color of your character's hair/eyes and either match it or complement it. (Ex: A bright red-haired character would probably wear red or black clothes while a blonde-haired character might wear blue or maybe purple) Of course your idol can wear other colors as well, but this is the color they are known for and is always on their clothes. Make sure to specify the color tone! (Ex: Don't just say blue! Say baby blue, turquoise, dark blue, etc.) No repeated colors! (Ex: No two people should have baby blue)
11) Pairings can be predetermined or grow naturally. You may list your character's favorite people they like to be paired with (can be multiple people too). However, this option is only available to 2nd and 3rd years before the rp starts. As the rp progresses, people may edit their character sheet to fill this in/change it. Don't forget, favorite pairings can be one-sided! But remember, don't say someone else likes being paired with you unless they agree to it.
12) Along with making pairings...how about rivalries? Again, this option is only for 2nd and 3rd years before the rp starts. As the rp progresses, people may edit their character sheet to fill this in/change it. Don't forget, rivalries can be one-sided! But remember, don't say someone treats you as a rival unless they agree to it.
2) The age group is 14 - 18 with grades being 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year.

Here are my two character sheets.
Name: Miyako Hana
Idol Name/Group Name: To Be Determined Later
Age: 16
Grade: 2nd Year
Role: Idol
Appearance:
Normal:
Standing at 5'5", Miyako has maroon hair with grey eyes. She has an hourglass shape, but her chest is a little thinner than her hips. Her usual clothes consist of pants and shirts, usually long-sleeved ones. This isn't because she is a tomboy, but because she is an extreme prude. Even when wearing a skirt or dress, Miyako will wear pants underneath. Never does a spaghetti strap not have a shirt under it. She's not too picky about matching colors with her hair, but she does make sure the colors of her clothes complement each other. She usually wears brighter colors.
Idol: (if applicable)
Miyako is in the middle ground. Her body has a more mature shape, but her wide eyes give her a more cute look. She's too short to be the mature type, but she's too tall to be the cutesy type. In the end, she has an image of 'girl next door'. A normal girl that has enough looks to be a pop idol. Because of her middle ground appearance, she is commonly placed in cutesy dresses that show off her shoulders and legs.
Trademark Color: Light Gold
Personality:
Normal:
Miyako has a more logical, serious mentality. However, it is very easy to get her flustered. Flirt with her in the right way, say her panties are showing, or even that her shoe is untied and she'll flip out. Her actions become more animated and a usual blush will reach her cheeks. Anytime someone tries to point out that she is flustered, she will deny it. There's no way someone so calm and collected like her could possibly be so flighty and childish. Miyako also has a very competitive nature. She loves proving she's better than people. This can be seen in everything she does. She'll try to be the first done on tests, the first one in class, or maybe the first one out the door. This desire to be the best stems from her personal need for attention. Nothing gets a person more positive attention than being the best at something. This is also why she steers clear of things she's not good at.
When interacting with others, Miyako's words can be harsh, mainly because she isn't afraid to hold back. However, this is a good sign. Miyako is only harsh with people she believes are worth her time, people who have potential but need a good talking to. Otherwise she will either ignore people or be quick to end a conversation. It is possible to gain Miyako's respect, and the moment you do, expect her to actually hold a decent conversation and give a genuine smile. Anyone she deems as a true rival should expect many icy glares and cold shoulders. Should the person be persistent, however, the rivalry can become a more friendly one.
Idol:
Miyako's idol personality is more bubbly and energetic. She has a constant smile on her face, and tries to be an all-around cheerful person. Her more competitive side sometimes peeks out when onstage with a group as she tries to subtly take the spotlight. When Miyako is in 'idol mode', she doesn't show her dislike for being skimpily dressed, though she inwardly curses whoever decided that idols needed to be dressed in such a fashion. If a fan says just the right thing, or something onstage goes horribly wrong, Miyako will become extremely flustered, though she will try to hide it.
History:
Miyako was the youngest of two girls. Both girls seemed to have an inbred desire for attention. However, Miyako's older sister, Kiyomi, would take it wherever she could get it. Kiyomi's usual attention was negative, but she didn't care and continued to do anything to gain attention. When they were young, Kiyomi was a very smart girl who loved school. Though she didn't necessarily like her sister, Miyako at least admired her sister's intelligence. However, as Kiyomi grew older, she started failing school, purposely getting bad grades because it was an easier way for attention. Miyako hated watching her sister become so needy and pathetic. Going into middle school, Miyako made a silent vow to never accept negative attention. This meant Miyako had to be the best, or at least close to it. She worked hard to ensure that her grades got her proper praise.
As middle school neared its end, Miyako knew she wanted a job that would get her attention. What better job than a pop idol? Fans were filled with positive attention. So Miyako practiced her singing and dancing to prepare for entering Minamoto Academy. She was accepted and has been there for a year now. She hasn't really made a name for herself yet, but she is confident that her second year will change that.
Fears: Miyako has an intense fear of zombies, lie detector tests, and electrocution. She also has a mild fear of heights and snakes.
Favorite Pairing(s): To Be Determined Later
Rivals: She considers every idol a rival, but she is more fierce with females that have a similar vocal range.
Other:
-Types of Songs = She is best used for more peppy songs. She's not the best at singing songs that have a rock feel to them. If put in a duet with a female, Miyako's voice shines when she takes the higher part or the melody. When singing a song with a story, Miyako prefers to sound like a strong female character than a whiny wimp. Secretly, Miyako wants to find a song so touching that it moves her to tears.
-General Range = low-mid to high range (in musical terms = Second soprano to Soprano)
-Groups or Solo = Because of her very competitive nature, especially with girls in her vocal range, Miyako does best solo. If she must work with someone, she will shine with a low-voiced female or a male. Put her with another girl with similar talents and sparks will fly (and not the good kind)
-Instrument knowledge = Miyako can't play instruments that require two hands to be doing different things. For some reason, she just can't get her hands to cooperate. So she never learned to play any wind instruments. She also has a hard time with the piano. She can't for the life of her play both the melody and the chords. So, she usually just uses it help her tune herself or to plink out the notes she is supposed to sing. She is also horrible with string instruments since she can't get her fingers to move the way they need to. What Miyako is really good at are brass instruments, mainly the trumpet and the French horn.

Name: Ruka Minamoto
Idol Name: Cougar
Age: 35
Role: Headmaster
Appearance:
Normal:
A sex symbol for the ages, Ruka's brown eyes are sharp, her waist is slim with a hefty bust size, and her silver hair has a healthy shine. She stands at 5' 7, most of that height comes from her slender legs. Her eyesight isn't perfect, so she wears glasses when not performing. However, some fans think this adds a certain charm to her appearance. Her clothing is a bit more conservative, only because she likes looking like a proper teacher when at school. A kind, calm look is usually on her face, but there are rumors that she has a much more sinister appearance.
Idol:
Cougar flaunts her body. Her cleavage is always exposed, and her performance outfits are always tight fitting. She usually has her shoulders and back exposed as well. Depending on the event, she will either show as much leg as possible, or wear a more elegant dress that leaves her legs a mystery.
Trademark Color: Any color she wants! She's motherflippin' Cougar!
Personality:
Normal:
Some might say Ruka is downright crazy. In actuality, she is merely a fangirl. A fangirl of what? Fanfiction. All different kinds of fanfiction. She not only reads them, but writes them as well. But sometimes, just writing them isn't enough, she wants to live them. So using the vast wealth she possesses, she acts out her fanfics using the many students at her disposal. She also likes to write fanfics about her students, which is why she sometimes pairs people together randomly, just to see how their story plays out. There is a rumor that Ruka like's her men young and adorable.
Idol:
Cougar's idol personality is calm and elegant, but with a pinch of pep. Her smiles are subtle but charming. Her movements are graceful with a spark of energy behind them. She is a bit playful with her fans, especially with her younger male fans, giving them a wink when signing merchandise.
History:
Ruka was the only child of an extremely rich family. Both her parents were famous idols who performed well into their lives. With such an active, social lifestyle, Ruka herself veered towards the limelight. She easily took to performing and became a hit. She not only had a pleasant appearance, but she was skilled in composing music. All of the songs Ruka wrote were chart toppers. At age 29, Ruka was given a proposition. Her manager asked her to start a school to train idols and composers, passing down the knowledge she had amassed over the years. At first Ruka was hesitant, worrying that this was her manager's way of saying she was too old to perform. However, Ruka soon realized that it didn't matter, because now she could live out her dream of writing fanfiction all day. Thanks to a large donation from Ruka, Minamoto Academy was built and she took command. Even after only five years, Ruka has gained quite the reputation. Some call her a mad genius. Others say she's just insane. Either way, she gets results, and the batch of kids that have graduated so far all got contracted soon upon leaving the school.
Fears: Ruka has a deep-seated fear of clowns
Favorite Pairing(s): Herself
Rivals: Pfft, no one is her rival. However, there are quite a few that think of her as a rival.
Other:
Her range is amazing, she can sing any song, and she shines both on her own and in a group. She also can play every instrument. Some might go so far as to call Ruka a Mary Sue.

A sex symbol for the ages, Ruka's brown eyes are sharp, her waist is slim with a hefty bust size, and her silver hair has a healthy shine.

Alright, three things:
1) You will notice that I have two character sheets. One is for my PC that will be interacting with you guys on a more normal level. The other is our kooky headmaster NPC that will be popping in to cause trouble. Miyako's character...use her as an example. The headmaster's? Don't. The headmaster is supposed to be a broken character who doesn't follow the rules. If you make your character sheet modeled too much after her, I will boop you on the head and tell you to change it.
2) Post your character sheets here. When they are accepted, please repost them into the character bin (that will be coming eventually). I plan to make it pretty and create shortcut links so people can find characters a lot easier. I'll also be making pretty icons that people can use (not required) and plan to work on a banner (hopefully to advertise) ->Link to Character Bin<-
3) Should we be in need of some NPCs that become really involved, I will write out character sheets for them.
And now, one final, very very very important note!
We need to make sure that we add disclaimers anytime we use songs that aren't our own because we might get into a LOT of trouble with copyright stuff! The main thing is to say that you didn't write the song (if you didn't). The best thing would be to say the name of the song and who wrote it.
Whew. If you guys have made it this far, I thank you oh so very much. I know this may be a lot to deal with, but believe me when I say, I'm hoping to make this rp crazy fun once we get IC! Thanks for your patience and I hope to see your character~!
