Introduction

ImageImageImageImage
Fame is fickle. An overnight discovery propels some to stardom in a matter of weeks, while others slave and work for years to try and get noticed. A group of up-and-coming stars have found this out the hard way. While some of them were discovered overnight, others have only just got their hand on the ladder after years of work. As a result, there's already a lot of friction between the group. Thrown together mostly by circumstance- co-workers, friends-of-friends, exes, and friends, there's not exactly a huge amount of love lost between them all. But in this industry, it's all about knowing people, and connections come above personal feelings. As long as you don't hate them, you'll work with them.

A series of seemingly random attacks brings them all closer. The attacks range from one having her bag snatched to another being mugged in an alleyway. They don't seem targeted, so nobody believes they're connected. Not even the victims themselves. They're all random, circumstantial- maybe that particular half of the group is just being afflicted by a particularly bad spate of luck. Those who escaped laugh about buying lottery tickets, but clutch their bags a little tighter, avoid being alone if possible.

And then one of the group is murdered. They have no reason to believe it's connected. They don't mention it to the police, because how can it be related? How can this be anything but a sad tragedy? Some wish to move on, to put it all behind them and continue their climb up the ladder. The death, the attacks, all this drama feels like it's just been holding them back, and they want to leave it behind. Others want answers, need answers. The friction that seemed to be slowly disappearing has suddenly reappeared, and it feels like they're all going to explode. Can they survive this?

some quick rules! first things first, a reminder that god-modding is forbidden. god-modding typically means controlling a character without their player's permission. so when in doubt, ask. romance and violence are pretty much a given for a drama-driven rp like this, but keep it within site rules. most importantly, if things get steamy, either fade to black or bring it off site. there will be adult themes within the rp. if you're not comfortable with any of the content, please PM me and we can work around it or i can ask other players to alter as necessary. please keep the drama to the ic. any issues arising among members of the rp should be dealt with over pm. reservations go in the ooc as they're easier to keep track of. real face claims only, please. characters should be in their early twenties and should all be around the same age. you have 48 hours to submit a WIP. that WIP can be a blank sheet, i just want something in to know you're still on board. you will then have 5 days after submitting your WIP to finish your character. i will grant extensions as long as you pm me. any further questions or issues, please pm me! i don't bite, promise. when reserving, i'd like your character's face claim, a 500x281 (or similar sized) image of said face claim, your character's profession, and their hex colour.

given relationships are a guideline, feel free to interpret as you like. your characters can have relationships and crushes and rivalries that aren't mentioned here, this is just so we have some immediate drama!

Lily Bates | 24 | #dfcbd4 | Actress | Natalie Dormer | iCat

Lily Bates has been fighting her entire life to get where she is. She's overcome everything life has thrown at her, and now she's finally on her rise to stardom. She's determined not to let these attacks get the better of her or get in the way of her career. She couldn't care less what everyone else does, as long as they keep her out of it. She isn't letting her name get messed up in all this. She and Mal Clark are currently working as voice actors on a new kids movie. She's living with Girl 2 at the moment. She and Boy 4 had a fling while working on a project together, but Lily's determined to not let the press find out.

Image
Mal Clark | 23 | #468499 | Actor, Model | Tom Webb | iCat

Mal isn't entirely sure he ever really set out to be famous. Acting was a pastime before he was scouted by a modelling agency, and then, suddenly, he was getting relatively high-profile jobs. He comes from a small town family- who don't know he's gay, and who would react explosively if they found out. Living a lie in his public life is hard- especially because he's dating Boy 3 in secret. As far as anyone else knows, they're just roommates. He once "dated" Girl 5, and she's one of only a handful of people who knows. He has a feeling Girl 2 knows, but is afraid to ask. He doesn't want to start looking for answers for fear his secrets will be exposed.

Image
Girl 2 | Age | #FFBEBE | Singer | Ariana Grande | Sunshine and Whiskey[/b]

Coming from a famous family, it was really no surprise that she got famous. (NAME) never had to work for a thing in her life. Until her father got arrested, and NAME had to prove her place in the world. She was already a few steps above everyone else, and didn't find it too hard to become successful as a (occupation.) To anyone else, she's successful, but to her, this just isn't good enough, not in comparison to where she was. She's determined to do what it takes to become as famous as she can, and doesn't really care about everything going on around her. She knows about Mal Clark's dirty little secret, but doesn't deem it relevant to her interests. She's living with Lily Bates but has her eyes set on becoming Girl 6's new best friend. This means she's perfectly willing to take down Boy 4 and Girl 3 if it comes to it.

Image
Boy 2 | Age | #73B1B7 | Actor | Lucky Blue Smith | [i]SleepingInTheGardens


A child star, NAME has only ever known fame. And he hates it. But (occupation) is the only thing he's good at and the only thing he loves, and no matter what he does, he can't escape the limelight. He's thought about giving it all up, but something keeps bringing him back. He wants to find out what happened, who killed their friend, and as far as he's concerned, he's got nothing to lose. He's dated both Girl 4 and Boy 3, and right now is lying to himself, saying he isn't interested in a romantic relationship. He's working with Boy 5 on a project, while he and Girl 3 are living together.

Image
Girl 3 | Age | Hex | Occupation | FC | OPEN

A sudden overnight sensation after a video of her went viral, NAME is coming to terms with her newfound fame, and isn't always using it responsibly. She thinks everyone will love her, no matter what. She's become addicted to drugs, and isn't nearly as subtle about it as she should be. Boy 6 is her friend, and the only person who knows about the addiction. Girl 6 is her best friend, and is turning a blind eye. She's got a crush on Girl 4 and it's the only thing she isn't completely open about. She secretly dislikes Boy 4, and only tolerates Boy 2 as her roommate. She thinks that it might be worth looking into what's going on, but only because she's paranoid that she's next.

Image
Boy 3 | Age | #AF4815 | Actor | Alfred Enoch | Sunshine and Whiskey

NAME has been working hard for years, and it's finally paying off. A rising star, he's suddenly the name on everyone's lips, the next big thing, and he's thrilled. It seems like he finally has everything he wanted- except for one thing. He's dating Mal Clark, but Mal needs it to be kept a secret. And it's starting to take a toll on NAME. He wants to be out and proud. He thinks they should be investigating the attacks in case there is a pattern. He dated Boy 2 for a while. He's currently working closely with Boy 4. Girl 5 is his best friend, and they know everything about each other. Girl 6 once asked him out, and things have been awkward ever since.

Image
Girl 4 | Age | #FF1493 | Singer/Songwriter | Kim Yongsun | SleepingInTheGardens

She's worked twice as hard as some, and yet is struggling to get anywhere. NAME is incredibly frustrated with her career, but has a tendency to blame everyone else around her instead of looking at herself. She's got anger issues and has ended up in the press for the wrong reasons on one or two occasions. She doesn't think they should dig into the attacks because she thinks they'll find some way to blame her for them. She once dated Boy 2 and blames him for the breakup of their relationship, even though she broke up with him. She's had a crush on Girl 3 ever since meeting her, but refuses to act on it. She and Boy 5 have been roommates, and he's one of the only people she really likes.

Image
Boy 4 | Age | Hex | Occupation | FC | OPEN

NAME's rise to fame has mostly been due to him dating famous people, and finally landing a huge job as a OCCUPATION and "launching" his career. He believes he deserves every bit of fame he has and that he genuinely worked to get there. He's annoyed at Lily Bates for refusing to go public about their fling, believing that it would have really helped him out at the time. He's got his eyes set on Girl 6, but genuinely likes her as a friend, as well as more than that. He and Girl 5 had a one night stand which he regrets.

Image
Girl 5 | Age | Hex | Occupation | FC | OPEN

She did a lot of work before her overnight discovery, and is a little irritated by the fact that that's all she's known for. NAME is trying to have as diverse a career as she can, and be known for her own work, not the work she did with others. She's afraid she'll be overshadowed by the attacks and murders, and wants to leave it all in the past. She and Mal Clark used to date, and she's one of the only people who knows his secret. Boy 3 is her best friend, and she used to have a crush on him. She kinda regrets her hookup with Boy 4, but there's also more feelings bubbling up there that she refuses to acknowledge.

Image
Boy 5 | Age | Hex | Occupation | FC | OPEN
The year after winning a televised talent show, NAME seemed to be living the dream life. And then it felt like the world forgot about him. No matter what he does, he just can't seem to get back to where he used to be, and is seen as a little bit of a has-been. He wants to prove himself, and he finally feels like his current job might just be it. He's got a crush on Girl 4, but isn't entirely sure that's somewhere he wants to go, and he likes their friendship as it is. He and Boy 6 have an infamous rivalry.

Image
Girl 6 | Age | #9F5F9F | Singer | Ryan Destiny | BleedingLover
An overnight superstar, NAME rose to the top and has stayed there ever since. She's happy where she is and doesn't want things to change. Some of her friends are only up-and-coming, but she doesn't believe in using her fame to give them an edge. She's got a myriad of secrets, and believes in keeping her enemies close. She doesn't particularly like Girl 2 but doesn't want to cut her out either. She's got a crush on her best friend, Girl 3, and has promised herself she'll act on it soon.

Image
Boy 6 | Age | Hex | Occupation | FC | OPEN

Still somewhat undiscovered, Boy 6 feels like he's on the outside of the little group. Sometimes he wants to be part of it, while other times he wants to distance himself from the drama and the conflict. He's friends with Girl 3, while himself and Boy 5 have a rivalry that's becoming infamous. He's got a crush on Girl 6, but he doesn't think she even knows he's there most of the time.

Re: icarus

(hope I did okey, I'm still new to this page and how everything works)

Re: icarus

Finally finished Lucas without interruptions from RPG! I hope he's okay!

Re: icarus

Hey hun, awesome to see you! As of right now, she is taken, but I'll confirm that for you soon hopefully!

Re: icarus

Hi, love!

Idk if she's still reserved or not, but if she's not, can I reserve Girl 3?

Image

YouTube Personality/Background Dancer | Face Claim: Dytto | #C8A2C8

Re: icarus

@iCat I hope it`s not a problem, but I wont be able to finish and Post Natalie until some time next week... (mostly caus I`ll be without internet over the weekend)

Re: icarus

    @iCat; I have finally finished Chris. Apologies for the wait but the site's been wonky on my end. I hope to have Isabella done tomorrow. :)

Re: icarus

@jarhara; awesome, she’s reserved for you!

Re: icarus

Hi, so I would like to reserve girl 5. The name will be Natalie Atkinson, she'll be a singer and guitarist and the face claim would be Nita Stauss
Image

Re: icarus

Hey everyone, sorry for vanishing for a bit there, had a really hectic few days! @Lvdwilt, don’t worry about it, you can definitely still have her! Sunshine, she’s great, and Urania, he’s reserved for you!

Re: icarus

Hey I was wondering if it wasn't too late to reserve a character? I'll be going for boy 6 with Christian Yu as his fc if allowed! He's a Drummer/Songwriter and I know his name is going to be Nicholas Kang. #7C0A02 might change.

Image

Re: icarus

I should have my cherries done very soon! Hopefully by tonight! Well, assuming RPG doesn't flake on me again.

EDIT: Ivory is all finished! Hope she's okay

Re: icarus

Don't hate me if I can still have her I would love to do her. I just had such a busy day yesterday and last night when my laptop was off. I remembered that I signed up. I will edit one now, submit and then if you still want you can let me know here.

Re: icarus

@Sunshine Absolutely not, go for it!

Re: icarus

    @iCat; Mind if I make the Ariana Grande face claim a part-time model, too? If not, that's totally fine but I feel like she'd need something to do whenever she's not working on songs and such. lol

    @Lvdwilt2000; I love her, by the way! I follow her on Instagram and she's hilarious. :)

Re: icarus

Looks good Lvdwilt! I’ll edit it in tomorrow.

Just a heads up about the sheet- I forgot to change some of the information on it! Your characters can be older than 23, and obviously student shouldn’t be their sole occupation. Will fix tomorrow but I think besides that, everything else should work!

Re: icarus

I so want to join girl 3 for the viral video. I am thinking her occupation is youtuber,

Does Liza Koshy work? Can you use this image
Image

Hex will be #FFD700

I hope I covered it all name would be Elizabeth Rewin

Re: icarus

All reservations have been added in, can't wait to see these characters!

Re: icarus

Hello! This sounds like an adventure! Mind if I snag a couple of spots?

I'm thinking Boy 2 with the face claim Lucky Blue Smith. He'll be an Actor with the hex code #73B1B7
Image

and Girl 4 with the face claim Solar (Kim Yongsun). She'll be a singer/songwriter and her hex will be #FF1493
Image

Re: icarus

Hello! Can I reserve Girl 6 please with the face claim Ryan Destiny? I'll probably reserve a guy once I finish my girl. :)

Singer . #9F5F9F

Re: icarus

@Sunshine and Whiskey; you absolutely can, I can't wait to see them!
