Everything we had, everything we had
Is no longer there.indent"This isn't a fairy tale, sorry folks. If you're expecting this to be a breeze from here on out, that all the hard s**t has passed you by... Your wrong. Starting from when your pen scribbles on that contract, things will be as hard as hell. We just scouted you, and to us, you guys are fresh meat. The chances of this going down in ruins is high, and I'm sure at least once you'll get screwed over so hard you'll be numb. There are bands that are better than you. Better by miles. You'll just have to creme their asses if you want this thing renewed in a year.
indentWe have a special newbie gig, that's you. When you sign this, you've officially and legally agreed to be this company's till the expiration date comes. We will advertise you to the point where your sick of seeing yourself, we will get your songs on popular radio stations, but in truth.... You'll be supporting us. If one thing goes downhill, one little slip-up, some drunken craze... Anything stupid happens and this company takes the hit. And believe me, we'll immediately know who's fault it is and work you to death until we think you've made up for that little mishap. And I'm saying this as a warning, just so later you can't accuse me of poppin' it on you."
indentHowever, despite the harshness of our system... I can guarantee, if you make it through this year without any casualties, you will be one of the hottest rising bands. We are the best, after all. You think about everything I just said when you pick up that pen and be prepared for either disappointment or victory."
indentThis isn't a story of an uprising band. It's the making of one. No chapters are skipped here, it's the birth of the music between these four members. You could say that this follows the band as the main character, because past all the others, it is the most important thing to everyone here. It's the sole reason the singer, guitarist, bassist, and drummer have all gathered together. They shall create this band, name it as if it was there own child and nurture it, teach it how to crawl, and eventually to stand and walk. Along the way, there will be problems and competition. These will have to be overcome, otherwise failure lurks right behind.
indentBut, this chapter doesn't begin in the midst of everything. It begins at the thing that brought everyone together, a cheap imitation of the Battle of the Bands. However, this isn't the only reason why they chose to be a part. Each member is broken in their own way, all finding some sort of release by being a part of this. Some aren't in it for the "band" at first, just to defeat someone else by taking first place. Through their own selfish pursuits, they attempt to make their name known.
indentAre you ready to give up everything to rock and roll?
indentIf you aren't, don't worry. You'll fit in perfectly.

I want something else, to get me through this,
Semi-charmed kind of life,indentAll roles are unisex. However, there has to be at least two girls and two guys. In the character's introduction, they will be referred to as males. I also give a guideline of how things are supposed to go once they join the band, however, the start of this roleplay is when the Drummer calls them all together to meet each other.
indent♪ The Singer ;; Out of the four band members, without a doubt, the singer carries the most baggage. Though he seem like a cool headed person, in reality, to maintain that image, he drink heavily and do illegal drugs. It's obvious to the other members after a while, but they just ignore it. None of them know what exactly happened to their singer to make him like this, but it looks like some serious s**t. The Singer never talks about his past and doesn't ask others about their own. He's the main cause the problems within the band, but as the singer, he are too important to lose. After a while, it seems to appear like the singer is becoming arrogant with his position. It might break the band. The Singer doesn't seem to have any respect for others, letting them bail him out and asking them for money for drugs or alcohol. But this is all what they turn out to be like...
indentWhen the Drummer first auditioned the singer, he couldn't see anything wrong with him. He had a killer voice and a normal enough feel to him. Towards everyone, he was polite and reserved. The Drummer never expected him to be the origin of all the hell soon to come. The addiction was just buried under his skin, waiting to get comfortable before crawling out. The Singer managed to keep his rotten side hidden for a long time. However, the only reason he joined the band at first was to get back at a previous band who kicked 'em out because of his habits.
indentIf there's any conscious in, the singer has done damn good to hide it.
indent♪ The Guitarist ;; The Guitarist used to be considered one of the popular kids in school. However, after high school, his life crashed down on him. His parents got arrested for attempted robbery, leaving him with next to nothing. The college fund that his grandparents left him was sucked away by the fines and the bare necessities he tried to live by. He's in no way stupid, he just was in a bad situation. The Guitarist is pretty smart actually. He knew that the Drummer was his only hope in starting anew when the audition showed up.
indentThough his life is well maintained when the band is up and running, living at the Drummer's place. He has a few snobby friends that go back to pre-school, they drop in once in a while to say 'hi' but none of them helped him out. Even his girlfriend didn't help him out when he was thrown out of his house. If the Drummer hadn't been there, he'd be freezing in some street bench. Going back to his girlfriend, she's rich, beautiful, and practically flawless from first glance. But she resembles the Singer in a way. A wicked monster hides under the shell. However, the Guitarist thinks he's mad in love with her, looking past the flaws with pure selflessness.
indent♪ The Bassist ;; He wins the award for most "normal" in the band. However, he's vulnerable. Plucked right out of high school, he is in his formative years. Though the Drummer tries to keep the youngsters out of the Singer's ways, the Bassist has a fancy for him. The Singer is a role model for him. He thinks that it's cool to get high and sleep with random strangers, after all, that's what the Singer does and he looks friggin' bad a**. The Bassist would do anything to get on his 'idol's good side, even do stupid things to get drugs and booze. The Singer is more than happy to use him too, seeing him in no other way than some guy to do his dirty-work.
indentThe Bassist followed his dreams into this band, out of pure hope, not desperation or revenge. He's a kid with big ideas. He would like nothing more than to be famous, living the life of a celebrity. His parents were against him skipping out on college to immediately join some band, but he was old enough to make his own decisions. At least legally. His parents are constantly trying to get him to forget about the band and go into college to do some profession he has no interest in whatsoever. When the Bassist heard he made the cut into the band, he ran away from home with no regrets.
indent♪ The Drummer ;; He's the source of funding for the band, and for some, lodge. It was him who set up the countless auditions to create a semi-decent band to compete in the Battle of the Bands. He's an extremely talented drummer, past his years, just like the rest of the band. However, his drumming isn't what gives him the money to lodge the Guitarist and the Bassist. His parents are rich. He doesn't tell anyone where he gets the money from, but he has a surplus of it. It's a good thing, too. The Drummer is without a doubt the most mature member of the band, keeping hold of the money, setting up gigs, and making sure the band members are properly cared for.
indentIt seems like he's been in a few other bands than this one, all of them going long stretches but eventually dying out. There's a lot of one hit wonders on his slate. He has high hopes for this band, taking it extremely seriously. His patience tends to grow thin when it comes to the Singer with his nonchalant ways. But he knows he has to deal with the bad attitude. The Singer's the best vocalist in the area, the Drummer even checked himself.

 ✖• Fransisca Madela Clemons •✖
Age;; Twenty
Gender;; Female
Birthplace;; New York, New York
Personality;; She's probably the most level headed person anyone will ever meet. A neat freak, an ocd maniac, and an intelligent investor, surprisingly, she's not insane, though some might beg to differ. Franny's temper is enough to give people chills so it's a good thing she isn't always angry. Despite the head strong attitude, Franny's ability to manage is what puts her in a good position among the band. She's understanding and can cope with a lot, though sometime, the singer drives her to her limit's edge.
Appearance;; [x]
Clothing;; She likes clothes that fit tightly to her body. You'll probably see in her in a pair of black jeans and a sleeveless shirt for a good portion of days. Dresses, again, she likes them slim. Black is a common color, she usually dressed in back and white, though seeing some pale tints of various other colors, that wouldn't be too shocking. Her style aims to get a few good glances, she'd not afraid to show skin, but she's completely against looking like a... well, that's about it.
Background;; She was born in New York, a big busy city with a lot of crammed places and snobby people. It was hard to sleep, because of this, she was able to gain the ability to sleep through anything. Loud noises are something she can admire, because to her, they sound a lot softer. That was one of the reasons she took up the drums, they were loud and she could knock them to her heart's content with what she calls music.
When she turned eighteen, she was kicked out of her house. Luckily for her, this wasn't a problem. Her parents were pretty wealthy and she got a good chunk of cash to keep herself up. Using her good senses, she invested in the right places and the money seemed to just pile up. It wasn't easy, but being in a band became nestled into her thoughts and when she gathered up the will, she was ready to take it up and make it a reality. It wasn't easy, but it happened, and soon she found herself with just the right people, skill-wise anyway.
Even she had problems though. Not all her money came from her family though. In the back of her head she always stressed and worried and ended up turning to odd jobs to get a good amount to keep in her bank. Her band members depended on her and even with her temperamental attitude, she had trouble saying no. She was never the sort of girl to keep quiet, she can be just as energetic and exciting as the others and she has her fair share of secrets too.
