Let's face it. Some make it, some don't. Try as they may, some people simply aren't cut out for fame, while others catch onto it as if the act itself was something they did every day at noon. Some may help others on their way, while some may need a little help of their own. However, though no one ever knows who will and won't make it to fame, one thing is always certain. The fall from it is nothing short of devastating.

The DJ's voice blared over the radio and out of speakers throughout the city, jovially exclaiming the latest bit of news on the music scene. Beachside listeners payed close attention as they basked in the warm sun, and the denizens of the inner city caught whatever bits the tumultuous noise of city life hadn't managed to drown out.
"That's right, you got it! Open auditions will be held at The Atlantis tonight and tomorrow night for any of you homespun musicians looking to fight your way into the music scene. Swing on down by the club for a taste of fame. Local musician, singer, and guitarist David Bourne-
The DJ's partner, twenty-six year old Sierra Mills, let out an approving "Hot stuff! Who knows ladies, it's a beachfront club. You may get to see some of David that'll have you droolin'! I'll be there coverin' the entire event, and I know I'll be lookin'!"
"-Ha ha.David Bourne will be there looking for some future bandmates. Give it your all, but watch out, Dave's a tough critic. Can't live up to his expectations, you might as well start cryin' now. For a taste, here's a song from Dave's last band, Wildcard. Made it all the way to number one! Here's 'Gone'!"

That's it, ladies and gentleman. Simple plot, yes, and an often-used basis for an RP, but I enjoy it. Feel like joining, come right in. I'll let you know that only a select few will actually be accepted into David's band. The remainders will be allowed to do whatever they so wish, such as create their own bands or what have you. Frankly, we could use more than just musicians. Roadies, groupies, friends, managers, and such things are welcome and highly encourage. The rules follow below.
Rules
1. You can't possibly godmode, so you needn't worry about that. Don't powerplay.
2. If you are to use preexisting music for your characters, I am using Chris Daughtry and Crossfade, for example, you are to post a link to the song in question and make note of who the artist is.
3. Your characters must, be necessity, be 18 or older, if they are to be anything other than a family member or relative.
4. You've quite a bit of freedom here, so make use of it.
5. If your character looks like a child (Anime pictures), he or she will be treated as a childish looking adult would be.
6. You are expected to have faults. Prodigy characters who excell at all things will be barred from participating and probably laughed at.
7. All characters except musicians are allowed to have whatever template they so desire. Musicians must follow the template that will be seen shortly.
8. Though all are welcome, newer RPers will be favored over veterans. They need a chance to shine as well. As such, if you are a vet, don't be angry if I don't allow you to join in favor of a newer person.
9. Just as a safeguard, all posts must be at least two paragraphs long. To be easy, a paragraph, for the intents and purposes of this rp, consists of 4-6 sentences.
10. This list is subject to change.
Musician Template. You may construct it any way you want so long as it contains all information that goes in the following categories.
Name:
Stage Name (if any):
Age
Appearance(May be separated into Facial Appearance, Body Type, Clothing, and Other if so desired)
Instrument(Includes Voice)
Preferred Music Style(Which genre your character feels most comfortable playing)
Personality
Personal History(Not necessary, but feel free.)
Simple enough. All other characters may use any template they wish.

"This is your DJ Sierra Mills here, chillin' with local musician David Bourne. I'll tell you, this guy's pretty stingy when it comes to information about himself! I like a mysterious man."
Throughout the many radios tuned into Sierra Mill's session, David Bourne's deep chuckle sounded. Sierra Mill's happy, sultry voice soon overtook it, however, and she continued on with her expose.
"From what Dave's been so kind to tell me, his full name is David Hector Bourne, born right here in Karport in 1980. He's only 27 ladies, come get it while it's hot! For those of you who haven't had the chance to drool, check out pictures of Dave on the ILVAV website. Tall, lean, and with a pair of baby blues, whoo I better stop myself!"
"He's not all looks, though! Dave's got the brains and brawn to back himself up. Dave's performed several of Karport's #1 songs, and, what were you a black belt in? Taijitsu, Toi Gye.."
David's low, fluid voice once again eased it's way through speakers citywide.
"Tae Kwon Do."
"Maybe you could show me a little bit of that later on, ha ha! Anyway, Dave's got some talent! Rock guitarist and singer, black belt and songwriter. Total hottie. Not a bad combination there, Dave."
"I've been told that a few times."
"Careful, babe, don't go and get an ego now. Ha ha, so Dave, tell us about yourself. Kid stories, personality tales, give us a hint!"
"People are just gonna have to find that out for themselves, Sierra. Do a little explorin' of their own. FInd some deep, dark secrets."
"Ooh, the mystery. I might go on a little treasure hunt of my own. This has been Sierra Mills, chillin' with David Bourne. Peace!"
