Caught in the Act

[Frogger]

Hello everyone! Frogger here, with yet another group role-play idea.

Caught In the Act is based off one of my favorite manga series, Skip Beat. In case you don't know the story behind the series, or you haven't seen my interest thread, here is a little introduction and summary.

Skip Beat! follows the story of Kyoko Mogami, a sixteen year-old girl who loves her childhood friend, Shotaro Fuwa, but is betrayed by him. Having spent a large part of her childhood at Shotaro's parents' inn, she learned a great deal about hostelry and other such jobs. Shotaro, not wishing to take over his parents' business, asks Kyoko to run away with him to Tokyo, leaving high school and her life in Kyoto behind to help him pursue a career in music. Upon arriving in Tokyo, Kyoko lives an unreasonably frugal life and works multiple jobs to support Sho, as he is called by his fans, spending nothing on herself and doing whatever she can for Sho, who eventually becomes ranked seventh of the top twenty most popular male celebrities of Japan. One day, she overhears Shotaro complaining about her to his manager, saying that she is a boring and plain girl who he thinks of as a doormat. He proceeds to sweet-talk and flirt with his manager, in stark contrast to the cold and demanding attitude he usually exhibits towards Kyoko. Kyoko doesn't shed many tears when she learns that Sho wanted her along only to handle housekeeping duties. Instead, her "Pandora's box" opens and she vows revenge on Sho. As she is carried away by security, Sho mockingly tells her that is she wants revenge, she had better become a bigger star than he is. And so, Kyoko changes her appearance and enters the entertainment industry, facing many challenges along the way. Skip Beat! follows Kyoko's journey climbing up the showbiz ladder as she meets interesting people, troublemakers and friends alike, with hopes of getting revenge on Shotaro, as well as regaining the sense of compassion that she had lost when her heart was broken by him. Along the way she meets Ren Tsuruga, who at first disapproves of Kyoko but later comes to love her. As Kyoko cultivates her acting and friendships, she soon discovers a sense of self separate from her initial plans for revenge.

Alright, now moving on to the character profiles and such.

There is one thing I’d like to address before listing the skeletons. We will need managers, producers (the ones who are actually in charge of, say, a TV series) and that sort of thing. There will be a CEO of the company, and whoever plays that part is the one who calls all the shots (who gets what manager, receives calls about potential jobs, etc). I just might take it, seeing as how I am the one who initiated this role-play. I’m cool with that, but I’d like it if we each play one higher-up character, instead of having a bunch of musicians or models without anyone managing them.

Without further ado, here is the skeletons!

Actors, models, and musicians all need work. It’s a given. No work = no money. It’s the way the world works. So, I will be the producer, who gives all the managers calls for potential work. Here is a list of everything your character can be called in for. Our first production will be the Divergent movie, so here are the roles, and everyone will be auditioning for said roles.

Beatrice Prior (main female role)
Caleb Prior (male role)
Christina, Al, and Will (friends of Beatrice in the Dauntless faction)
Peter (bullies Beatrice)
Drew and Molly (Peter’s posse)
Four/Tobias (Dauntless instructor, and Marcus' son)
Edward (evokes Peter’s jealousy)
Marcus (Abnegation’s leader)
Uriah, Lynn, Marlene (Dauntless-born initiates)

There are also other roles that are minor, but can be played by models. Some of the roles listed above can be played by models too, as long as they do not require lots of lines or experience.

Here is a list of topics, which we will vote on when it comes time.

Uglies (by Scott Westerfeld)
Twilight
Lock and Key (or any novel by Sarah Dessen)
Vampire Academy
Matched (by Ally Condie)
A Great and Terrible Beauty (an old book, but a good one)
Concert (no explanation necessary)
Delirium
Beautiful Creatures

 

[Emperor_Nero]

So, do you wish for me to run the CEO, or would you like to? I'm very comfortable playing a manager as well.

 

[Frogger]

I'll go ahead and play the CEO.

 

[Emperor_Nero]

Just realized that you said you'd play the CEO, so here's the redone profile!

Managers~

Name: Nero Archon
Nickname: none. Make one up if you'd like.
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Who You Manage: actors/actresses OR models
Years of Experience: 4 total
Appearance: http://evincotton.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/james-franco-suit2.gif
Personality:
Confident and intelligent, he's calm, collected, and almost never raises his voice, but is a scary man to anger. However, he has little to no trouble with the ladies, and can charm his way into almost any girl's pants. Or maybe that's the wealth. His family has always been comfortably wealthy, and his career has added somewhat to that money. He lives comfortably in a slightly oversize house and loves to travel. He has yet to settle into a serious relationship with someone in his adult life, however.

History: His career has been moderately successful, and his family wealth has been fully passed on to him since his parents died when he was 23.

 

[Frogger]

Name: Alice Clark

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Special Skills: Alice is the artistic type, and is quite good at drawing, painting, even photography. Cooking is also one of her special skills, though how that will help in the Entertainment Industry, she doesn’t know.

Appearance: Alice stands at about 5’7”, and holds herself with dignity and grace. Her hair is a curly dark brown that is cut right at her shoulders. Her eyes are a beautiful shade of brown, which can take any colored contacts needed for acting. Her figure is one that makes men drool...not that she notices that, or particularly cares. The clothes she wears are ones she buys on discounts or for cheap, since she has to worry about paying rent more.

Personality: Alice is a closed book to the world. No longer will she open herself to love, though she does display a cheerful demeanor. A little bit naive, she doesn't know much about the ways of love, or including when a man is making a move. Whenever you say her ex-boyfriend's name...she will take on a murderous face, and will start chanting about the revenge he has yet to endure. However, you must unlock the locks around her heart to find the love she has to offer.

History: You already know it.

Love Interest: Open, but good luck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Real Name: Darius Cormier

Stage Name: N/A

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Type of Modeling: Photography, Promotional

How Many Years of Experience: 5 years

Appearance: Darius is the child of two famous models, and so has inherited their best features. His skin is fair, his eyes a pale grey color similar to that of smoke. His straight hair travels down to the small of his back, the light blonde locks tied back in a hair-tie. His build doesn’t contain much muscle, for he doesn’t exercise much, but he does watch what he eats with diligence. His clothes are modest, but he dresses with style, and he wears a platinum earring in one ear. Unfortunately, he does look younger than he really is, which drives him nuts.

Personality: Darius is a gentleman, opening the doors for ladies and joking around with the guys whenever the time calls for it. However, it is very hard to know him on a personal level. Hardly, if ever, does he share personal information with others, not to mention he doesn't seem to have any friends to speak of, or family.

Other: Meh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Name: Elsa Cohen

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Position: Producer

How Many Years of Experience: 11 years

Appearance: Elsa is the picture of professionalism. Her eyes are slanted, and a lovely shade of blue, with flecks of green hiding within the depths. Her hair is a nice obsidian black. Cascading down to her hips, it is very fine...not to mention soft to the touch. At 4’11”, she is rather petite and slender. The clothes she wears are always modest, but yet not unattractive. There is a silver ring on her right hand she keeps on at all times. A notable feature of hers is her accent, which people have described before as beautiful and soothing.

Personality: Intelligent, focused and thorough, Elsa is the perfect person to lead this company of talented individuals. A perfectionist, she keeps everything organized, and works with everyone to make sure things work out. Most of the time she is sweet, caring, and kind, but if she catches wind that you’re slacking off...beware. Laziness is one thing she doesn’t tolerate, and another thing she won’t tolerate is attitude. Her temper is quick and hot, but once she blows off steam she’ll come by and apologize...only to say ‘don’t do it again.’ After all...she always has a reason whenever she gets mad.

History: (optional)

Other: Nothing much.
