As you walk down the street from your home, you notice that the sound of music is filling the air, seemingly coming from a small kiosk on the corner of the street. A woman in the kiosk, blonde and somewhat young, beckons you over to her and motions to a display of electronics under a glass case.

They're called iPersona; they're the newest thing on the market. Hot stuff! Get one while they're still here.

Her hand runs back over the display case once more and she leans forward to get a better look at your face.

You interested? It comes with a demo song for you to listen to until you get other songs, though I doubt you'll want to.

She offers you a smile, covering up for her weird choice of words, and begins explaining some of the features of the iPersona. Her words seem to tune out as you stare at the merchandise, but as she finishes she shoots you a smile to get your attention back.

Well?

Somehow, perhaps it was her charming personality or just sheer persuasiveness, you end up walking off with an iPersona in your hand. As you turn it on to fix all of your settings, you hear a voice in the headphones.

Welcome to iPersona, the last music player you'll ever have to buy! How are you today?

Without a second of hesitation, it jumps into a song, one that is one of your favorite songs! You shift back to go ask the woman at the kiosk, only to find that the kiosk is no longer on the street corner. There's not even a trace of the cart's presence and nobody there seems to even have a clue as to what you're talking about!

The song ends as you walk back and you hear the same voice that played at the startup.

Play for you later!

You look at the screen just in time to see the player shut itself off.

iPersona - on the outside, it appears to be nothing but a portable media player; but looks can be deceiving. Currently in its test phase, the iPersona is a music player that is able to produce a living organism from sound waves. This technology, designed by Strawberry Computer, scans brain waves and is able to produce the listener's favorite music without having to rip it to the player, then produces it in material form. Its purpose? To create the perfect musicians and maximize music therapy.

While the product is still in experimental phase, it seems someone has been secretly distributing the iPersona to the population without Strawberry's approval. The owners claim to have purchased the device from a young woman at a mysterious kiosk, though traces of this traveling salesman have yet to be found. Some owners also talk of spirits or humanoids emerging from their iPersona. When interviewed, others strongly denied any such sightings...

Each artist has their own 'if bidded over x amount' reward, some may have none. It's up to the artist. It's also up to the artist if they want to do anything special for the buyer if their work is ABed. If you're worried about the size, don't. We'll prod Apoth into making image maps for all the certs so that they'll link to the various stages.

models play the part of angels in the dark ~

Roleplay is currently being developped. We now have a guild, please go on and check it out. It's all shiny and new. Ippy thanks you Chu! "....My money b***h, my money... ;___;" <3:

The iPersona Guild

but here is the general gist of roleplay.

Quote:

iPersonas are not role play required. -Why??- Because I know that some people can be really busy and not have time to role-play. BUT!! If that's the case, then you won't mind having your pet grow slower, right? X3 Again, it's not required, but it -is- encouraged.

Anyway role-play will... play a role (no pun intended)... in special events! Dances and concerts will be held ~ and you can win free downloads for your iPersona.

You can do light roleplay (just random chit-chat) here in thread, but please use some double symbol around anything in-character. (I.E. [[rp]] ((rp)) ::rp:: &&rp&& ##rp## you get the gist.) Yes, this is different from a lot of different shops but I don't like having to put symbols around regular conversation because it's kind of a hassle for those who are just chatting >3>;

A guild will be set up for role-play. This will include your journals, as well as areas for general roleplay and after while, things like record companies and dance clubs.

Role-play should be literate. So no chat speak. plxxx.

Light roleplay in thread or in designated areas can be done in script format if desired, but otherwise TYPE OUT YOUR WORDS. I would also prefer that you type in third person past or present tense. (:

Q When exactly does the auction end?
A October 28th at 12 AM EST. Why? Because Anti, the auction manager, will be awake then to close up.

Q What about sniping?
A If someone bids within the last ten minutes of the auction, Anti will give a half-hour extension to complete bidding. Remember. This is his sleep you're eating up if you do this, so don't snipe, all right?

Q I don't have enough money to bid...
A We occasionally hold contests for free iPersonas. In fact, there's a role play prompt going on right now at the shop thread. Princess Chu also sells discounted iPersonas, see her post in the shop thread for more details.

Q Are these RP required?
A Not unless specified at special sales. Otherwise it is optional. Make sure the artist post doesn't say that you do before you ask, if you do.

Q What happens if I don't RP?
A Non-roleplayed pets are the lowest priority for our artists, meaning they will grow much much slower than those that are roleplayed. But they won't be taken away.

Q What if I have to go on a hiatus?
A In the event that you'll be gone for an extended period of time, please let us know beforehand. Your iPersona will not grow during the time you were gone.

Q Can I have more than one?
A Yes, you may, but you must keep up with all of them.

Q FTW I still don't have an answer to my question! Help? D:
A Make sure you have read the ENTIRE front page. If you still don't understand something, feel free to ask in-thread.

Umm. I don't have the finale stage. But it doesn't matter, since you're not going to get there any time soon anyway! I procrastinated too much in the middle. D: Bad. Bad. Things came up and I just about died. So... Yeah.

There's your first tidbit about me! I'm irresponsible. biggrin Yet highly organized-- Chu says I'm -beyond- organized, but we'll have to see about that.

I abor misspellings, I really do. I'm no grammar freak, but I hate it when people spell things incorrectly-- although an occasional typo will not do me in.
I make them often.

I'm in my sophomore year of high school, and I'm definitely not looking forward to junior year. This whole school thing is none too appetizing to me. The only thing I like about school is drama. And my friends.

F l a ts a l e !

Neku is holding a -gasp- flatsale! :0 There will be a prompt, the most well-written, creative one will get an iPersona with a song of their choice. :3

Rules__
1. Be sure to have read and understood to entire front page of the main thread.
2. Entering is free, but the winner will need to pay the 20k flatsale fee.
3. Foreign songs are perfectly fine (in fact, I specialize in them. xD) Just be sure to have a translation somwhere.
4. Post your entries in the auction thread. :3
5. No begging.
6. No cheating.
7. And defintely no whining. D:
8. Have fun! 8D

To enter, just fill out the following form:

Song you want:
Artist:
Link to song: RadioBlog works. : )
Why you want this song:
What this song means to you:
How did you/your character obtain his/her iPersona?:
Rp Prompt:
Prompt A:
Despite already being at the song stage, your iPersona seems very quiet and unsocial: in fact, s/he would just stay his/her room for hours, listening to music. One day, s/he didn't come out all day. What do you do?

Prompt B:
It's your iPersona's birthday (well, "coming-out-of-the-iPod" day), and you want to get him/her the best present ever (cause you just love him/her so much). However, wanting your music-obsessed iPersona to open up to new things, you decide to get him/her something completely un-music related. What do you get, and how will your iPersona react?

Prompt C:
Your iPersona is now a finale, and his/her music carrer had been a big success. In fact, s/he is now an idol, one of the most admired members of the music community. However, as the days go on, you begin to see your iPersona less and less, until s/he had stopped speaking to you all together. Do you confront him/her about it? If so, what will his/her reaction be?

Remember, the iPersona from this flatsale will be rp-required, so be sure you have the time.

Entries___

agenthal - - - p7 (uncompleted)
PandaLily - - - p34
dead tree - - - p51
Lady Vincira - - - p54

Princess Chu

For all those that are broke but want an iPersona, I've decided to do a Halloween event for the thread. It will be 100% free. And I'll be featuring three pre-drawn drawn iPersona. I'm not done coloring them but here they are anyway. >3>

One will be a free raffle, another, a prompt, and the final will be a simple "best personality" contest. That way those who suck at prompts can redeem themselves. xD

I'll put this together by the end of the auction. D:

Halloween Edition iPersona; Free Raffle

Harmonic Edition iPersona; Prompt

Music God iPersona; Best persona

The first two are not completely colored and the event will allow you to pick your own song. I'll go into more depth on them later. razz
