Battle of the Bands

Truce · 02-21-2004, 09:55 PM

The annual Tsitra city event, Battle of the Bands, is just a few weeks away, and people are preparing themselves mentally and physically for this musical competition. However, the killer robots that have started popping up may pose as a problem.

Can the musicians find a way to stop them in time for the show?

Title: Name
Age: Age
Eyes: Eyes (Includes contacts)
Hairstyle: Hairstyle
Skin: Skin
Outfit: Appearance
Instrument: Weapon
Genre: Acts as Combat Discipline
Bling bling: Other Equiptment
BTM: Behind the Music (Bio)
Scandals: Extra info.

This is not supposed to be a serious RP. I'm just bored, watched a little too much FLCL, got a silly idea for an RP, showed it to my friend, and said friend bothered me about it until I posted it right now.

Basically, various robots will start to pop up (not at the beginning, as usual), and conventional weaponry does not work against them. It turns out that for some reason only musical instruments can defeat them.

Now, let's see how far this gets.

Title: Solo (True name: Ripel)
Age: 17
Eyes: Brown
Hairstyle: Spiky and black.
Skin: Tanned
Outfit: Take any outfit from any Boy Band, add blue sunglasses and a black bandana, and that's basically it.
Instrument: Microphone (Used as a whip)
Genre: Pop-Culture (Dancing and the such)
Bling Bling: Has gold earing, because girls like a guy who wears jewelry. -_-;
BTM: Ripel used to be a part of the group Thumpmastas, but eventually got tired of Thumpman getting the spotlight. Leaving that group, he has gone on to make a name for just himself, and his title reflects his current status.
Scandals: Think of him as the stereotypical badass wannabe, who all the girls fall for, and all the guys laugh at and sometimes envy. Also, he always pops up, never leaving the public's view for more than a day or so.

PS: (Thumpman's already been reserved)

... say what?

This, is quite possibly, the strangest idea for an RP ever...

But a lot of the RPs are going slow, so what the heck, I'll join in.

And let it be known, Techmasta D is now reserved, muahaha!

(Man, why do I have a feeling this is going to play out like a really wierd omake...)

Mr. Viewtiful · 02-22-2004, 03:03 PM

That's right, Thumpman's reserved, 'cause IT's ME! YEAH! (and FZ: It's gonna be much crazyer than you could believe...j/k)

Title: Thumpman (real name: Blyr)
Age: 19
Eyes: Emerald Green
Height and Weight: 6'2" and weighing in at 250 lbs.
Hairstyle: Brown hair, but he usually wears his hat, so nobody really knows his hairdo...
Skin: Light tone
Outfit: (This is gonna be long, but bear with me) Purple hat with a gold 'T' on it, blue semi-rectangular shades, baggy blue football jersy with the number '54' on the front and back (wears a similarly baggy white t-shirt underneath), baggy blue cargo pants, black athletic basketball shoes.
Instrument: Uses a boombox in his unique fighting style, his black Escalade called the 'Thumpmobile.'
Genre: Uses pretty much all genres besides Rap and Country, but dance moves are pure breakdancing.
Bling bling: has a large black athletic watch on his left wrist, silver band ring on his right ring finger, sometimes wears a black version of his purple hat. No piercings or tattoos. His Escalade, called the Thumpmobile, and his boombox are enough blingblingto compensate for the lack of jewlery he wears.
BTM: Thumpman first strted out as a freelance DJ/breakdancer, but eventually him and a few of his friends made a band called the Thumpmastas, a highly favored group for the Battle of the Bands, but after a year or two (nobody really kept track) the band broke up, Ripel to pursue a solo career and Dezil...well, he doesn't know what happened to him. Other band members also left, so Thumpman is now a freelance DJ for other bands. He hopes to somehow revive the Thumpmastas in time for the battle, but can he...

On a side note, the Thumpmastas were the champions of the Street Football championship when the band was in its prime a year ago, with a team name the same as the band name. He bulked up from his once-lanky frame to become the best linebacker/running back in the league. His once baggy jersey fits him a bit tighter, so he had to order a bigger one from the local Reebok store.
Scandals: Although he has a band, Thumpman also DJ's for other bands when they need it most, as he's one of the best in the business. He's pretty popular with both guys and girls out there, and thusly several people posing as him have popped up. However, nobody can match his skill and charm, as he proves in various breakdancing and DJing matches he goes to.
Personality: Thumpman may be a man that has it all (money, a cool job, mad skillz at other cool stuff) but unlike what you may assume, he isn't an arrogant showboat that others in the business are. He keeps calm, and can almost always be seen with a smile on his face. Confident, but almost never cocky.

I kinda have an urge to make Lord of the Dance... but I won't... I might think about joining with a less evil musician though... although I haven't made up my mind yet.

Dante · 02-22-2004, 03:50 PM

In any case... I reserve Judas Priest, the Six String Samurai!

Mr. Viewtiful · 02-22-2004, 10:26 PM

Changed my profile around a bit...

C'mon, peoples! You KNOW you want to RP as a superhero/muscician! This RP will rule, and you know it!

Darth SS · 02-22-2004, 10:36 PM

Mr. Viewtiful · 02-22-2004, 10:46 PM

You could post up a profile minus the bio and either:
A) go as a solo artist
B) PM other dudes playin' this RP and make a band
C) control a whole band by yourself
D) *insert other idea here*

After you choose one, type up the bio later and put it up for a complete character!
