I love Rock n Roll (OOC/ Casting Call/ revised version of Rockin and Rollin)

you're not too weird. we're all pretty fucking weird if we're hanging out and posting on this website. you just need to pay more attention to other players' posts and also give them a chance to respond to yours. for example, when you talked to the band after the set was over, in the same post you proceeded to go outside to sign autographs without giving me a chance to respond to what Nana said. and that's just annoying to me.
 
thanks. these large group threads tend to work better when everyone is good and patient. there's no reason to rush to the sex part. hell, i was part of a group thread for a good two months that was going really well because everyone was respectful and patient, and my character never even got to the sex part of his story before it fizzled out.
 
I know what you mean, I was just so hyper about the story and role playing it I lost control but now i am calmer
 
Alrighty, I'll shoot my character idea. Always was into the band thing:

For Chaotic Frenzy:

Name: Raja Apineru
Age: 18
Race: Samoan; Pacific Islander
Appearance:
As most Samoans tend to be Raja is a little on the tall side. He stands at an obviously intimidating six feet, six inches. He weighs a whole garbage bag full of stones and has an attitude to back it up. We've all heard the saying, "don't try to fight a Samoan." He has the tough guy appearance with the tattoos, messy hair, typically gothic clothing that he either made himself or one of his insanity prone girlfriends made for him and rarely wears shoes. The lack of footwear gives him a wild look. Whenever he's playing in shows he doesn't seem to understand that if he doesn't wear shoes the band probably will have to do without him.

Don't think of him as a fat slob. He's a muscle bound kind of guy. Most of his ink work revolves around his obsession with weight lifting, hating everybody that resembles a pansy and anything that smells sweet. He has a bit of a hygiene problem. No, he isn't stinky he just doesn't understand that taking showers involves washing ALL OF THE BODY. Some days, he just washes under his arm pits, the crotch area and that's it. While some other days he'll wash his whole body. Whenever he doesn't take a full shower he just uses what he calls, a "shower in a can" which is products like body spray that masks body odor.

Musical Talent:
Don't let his appearance be a deception. This guy's packing talent. What he lacks in people skills, job finding skills and all out decency he more than makes up for with his ability to hit some strings. Any kind of stringed instrument he can play for the most part. From the violin to the base guitar this guy has it all. He utterly refuses to play anything softly and has a reputation for not wanting to play anything that doesn't have some heavy guitars in it. This is why he doesn't let people know that he can play instruments like the violin.

History:
Raja, well, is kind of crazy. It's not all that shocking though. Some people claim to be crazy but don't understand entirely what it means to be such. This guy has been tormented, stepped on, pissed on (literally once) and even called outside of his name his entire life. This much explains why he is who he is most of the time. It's hard to be a friendly person when one hasn't really had a friend before. It's even more difficult to not be a monster when lots of people treat him like a monster. Some would say it's wonderful to have his height, his body mass, his appearance, his bad boy image while others would say that it's curse more so than a gift.

The island of Samoa isn't the greatest place to come up. Most in this U.S. territory is involved in poverty. Wealth just isn't a word to describe Samoa. Most there are fisherman, tourist butt kissers or people who bust their butts to make ends meet. All three would've been true for Raja at one time in his life. Just like his father he spent most of his life working with the whales in the Pacific as a budding marine biologist. This is why, as poor as his family was, he was sent to the states to get a degree in marine biology. Let's just say that didn't work out so well.

New York City definitely wasn't the best influence on this kid from the islands. Drugs, sex, booze, women and pornography caused this once brilliant mind to fall by the waist side. He dropped out of school and just didn't have enough money to return home to mooch off his parents. The only thing he had that could possibly make him money was his ability to play stringed instruments like a lot of his family members and Samoan ancestors.
 
Welcome Garelock! Raja is awesome. I know someone in RL who is incredibly similar.

So, there's two ways I can see that we can bring his character into the action. The first would be for Nana and Eddie (bass player) to have another fight, causing Eddie to quit and opening the bass position. A second option would be to have the band decide they need a rhythm guitarist, hold auditions, and select Raja. Of course, they're playing Friday night, which I'm going to assume is only a few days away.

Any suggestions?
 
And Garelock, your post doesn't make any sense, because if the band was missing a band member, they would have been bitching about it all night.
 
Which is why I didn't make him a band member right away. I just said he missed the show. That implies a lot of things. He could've been just another guy who has a fangirl of a girlfriend who wanted him to show up. He could've been just invited by a bunch of friends to the show but he didn't show up. The possibilities are endless from that point of view.
 
you are totally correct. now i see what happens when i ASSUME things. sorry about that. we've had problems lately keeping things in this thread in order and making sense, but now they're mostly resolved, i think.

so how do we get this big smelly guy into the band?
 
Don't know. But I've been told that I'm sorta kinda an ideas man. I'll come up with something. Give me an hour or two.
 
Maybe they discuss the band and decide they might be able to use another guitarist. Then overhear him playing somewhere and decide to ask him to join as long as he can learn the songs quickly. Toss him a stack of music, meet him the next day, he is able to play it, and then he joins. That is my suggestion at least.
 
I think Eddie and Nana should screw each other, opening a big can of worms which ultimately leads to Eddie quitting.
 
sounds like a good possibility. also quite amusing. probably almost as ammusing as the creepiness of Liz.
 
Nobody can come close to the creepiness of Liz.

Liz will get her way with Matthew (even she has to drug him or something. lol)

but Raja could just have been sick and the rest of the band members were so pissed with Nana for dropping the song on then that they didn't feel like bitching about Raja.
 
Honey, in creepiness you win, no contest. Josu was just talking about amusement factor. Which, I have to agree, comes kinda close.
 
wow, you would go as far as drugging my character? That is what I call obsessed. lol. really creepy. oh, btw on the non creepy front, it is your turn to post in the racing thread.

I am posting there as I speak.
 
Mitsu, you're just a little creepy, in that insistent, naive kind of way. But nowhere near Cute's level of creepiness.
 
lol, yeah, I don't think anyone could be as creepy as Liz. Even Princess' character in the racing thread could not come close even with your lessons in creepiness. The only thing people could come close to is the ammusment created by Liz's creepiness.
