Pokemon: The Rainbow of Song (Sign up/discussion)

[EmeraldSky]

All across the Pokeworld, idols both male and female capture the hearts and imaginations of millions. But what many don't realize is that there are special schools just for idols to hone their skills in performance, as well as training the next generation of idols.

Rainbow Music Academy is one such school, and it has produced many superstars both male and female across its storied history, many of which have gone on to enjoy long and successful music and acting careers.

Studying at an idol academy like Rainbow is more than just singing poppy lyrics and dancing in cute costumes--you learn how to play instruments, act, give interviews, and most importantly, how to use the magic of the Star Power--a special magic deep within an idol's heart that gives form to their love for the music. Star Powers have many names, come in many forms, and may even manifest in different ways depending on the idol or costume. When it does manifest, a Star Power gives the idol's voice and any instruments they are playing an echo effect for a short time.

But every idol, no matter what school they attend, has a big dream--to be crowned the top idol (or idol unit) in Kanto--the Indigo Idol(s).

You are a new idol in training at Rainbow--will you go it alone as a solo act, or band together with your friends on your way to become the Indigo Idol(s)?

Sign up here with the following info:

Your character's name
Your character's age (PCs should be no older than 18, and no younger than 13)
Your character's appearance (Don't just give a picture--this will cause your sign-up to be Rejected.)
Your character's personality and a brief history
What kind of idol your character is (explained below)
What skills your character has--what kind of music they prefer to play, what their vocal range is, what instruments do they play, if any, can they dance or act, etc.

Remember: Idol academies strive to create music that has a broad appeal, so a genre like hard rock or heavy metal would not fit in this world.

Any anime and game song (and some songs from American and European cartoons) can be used as songs for performances

Idols are grouped into Cute, Cool, Beautiful, and Exotic for girls, and Dreamy, Heartthrob, Charming and Rugged for boys.

Cute girls and Dreamy boys typically wear a lot of clothing that conveys an innocent and sweet image, and typically sing songs with sugary sweet lyrics to match.

Cool girls and Heartthrob boys wear casual clothing, and sing songs with a distinct beat.

Beautiful girls and Charming boys wear elaborate clothes with lots of sparkles, glitter, and color, and have the voices to match their elaborate costumes.

Exotic girls and Rugged boys wear clothing and sing songs inspired by other lands, but do so in a way that respects the culture their costume came from.

However, you are not limited to being set completely in one of these four types--you can mix and match elements of all four types to create a unique style.
