Sounds really cool. Sounds like something I might like. But I'm to confused!!
I'm quite confuzzled.

OH My Bob, I wish my RP skills were good 
|

| BlondeBelter |
Ah, but are your writing skills good? That is all that matters, really.
=) |
||||
| Sphynx |
True . . .but the only one I might be able to do is Roger, and I'd be afraid of screwing him up . . . | ||||
| BlondeBelter |
Well, I see they have a Roger, but why not Benny? He's a character not everyone knows too much of, so it would be an easy chance to develop a character yourself.
It's easy, I promise. And if you decide to not go along with it, it's fine, I'm sure. Edit: Or you can create someone new. I've heard this is a relaly good way to improve writing skills as well as character development if you're a performer. |

They do? I didn't see him.
Nah, I'm not really hip on Benny. He's a good guy and all, but wasn't ever one of my favorite characters. I maybe could pull off April. |

| BlondeBelter |
I just looked at the members, haha.
And April could be interesting.. I always wondered about her character, really. (By the way... I play Maureen there. =) ) |

| What you own |
I was thinking the same thing. I thought alot about April once kinda...The band to. Quite fun. Since I'm the kinda person who has to devolp al my charcter very well. Even the minor ones. Benny could be an intresting charcter to do. But I could never do him any justice. I'm just so confuzzled. |

JFTR...
Maaarrrk, Maaarrrk, I'm Mark! 
|

| Sphynx |
I'm the exact same way. An original character would probably be best for me, considering I probably don't see April/Roger/Any of the cast the way most people do. |

I'm Roger.
I swear, I'm gonna make my bio really soon. I've had literally no time all week. |
||||
| What you own |
I really want to do it. But
But I'm afraid. "Then why choose fear." I'm a New Yorker fears my life. Probabley I would consider being an origanal... as in maybe one of Rogers bandmates but.... Maybe thats cause I've been watching the history of Herion and Illegal drugs..... I really want to do it. but I'm scared.

We can be skeered together  *considering signing up . . as April* *DEEP BREATHE*
Except, certain individual that is playing Roger might think I'm staking him, and I swear to BOB I'm not. I might just go with an original character . . . |
||||
| What you own |
Yeah every time I do I chicken out. | ||||
| Disney-Bway27 |
DUDE an April would be amazing. We could have little online get-togethers to plan our characters' backstories!
Wow I'm a geek. I just got excited over THAT. 
|
||||
| What you own |
^ Lol it is exciting.
I want to but... I'm a chicken |

Okay so. If anyone else is afraid of joining this, I ask WHY?
You have got nothing to lose and will only improve as writers and, in actuality performers. I was a horrible writer when I first started to RP and I started with the toughest and most complex character- Elphaba. I had to create her backstory, why she behaves certain ways, even little mannerisms. But now? Well, my being a creative writing minor has a lot to do with my doing this. It improved my writing ability SO much. Oh and I think a chat with everyone would be good... Perhaps via AIM? Edit: Joining as April and getting to create her character... Good idea 1oo%. |
||||
| What you own |
True. I'm going to have to be really careful with my spelling. I type everything on word to make sure there are no spelling mistakes so... My biggest fear does have a simple solution... I have a fear I won't be able to do her justice. I'm thinking... I might...espically since I'm takeing creative writeing next year this could be really good. Edit:I did it. *Shudder* Well at least if no one likes me it's a granetee that I die!! Well look's like the health report I did on suicide last year is goign to come in handy. Allong witht he film I watched on herion. |

What you own - you're taking April then?
Kay. I need to find a new character. |
||||
| What you own |
Yup. I'm now April Ericson. I'm amazed it's alot easier then I thought to find a icon of April. Of course I have to use one from the movie but... |

| Disney-Bway27 |
My Roger bio is grade A suckage. lol. | ||||
| ActingDude17 |
I beg to differ. |

| broadway_bound92 |
Ok, so I'd really like to be a part of this, BUT I've never done any RP before. I don't want to, like, dive right in and be Mimi...so hmmm idk. What should I do? | ||||
| BlondeBelter |
I suggest you read the storyline and rules and other characters bios (mainly Angels as they have it set up so Angel and Mimi have known eachother for years prior)... Read the actual RP, what we have so far, then decide.
It's really easy. |
||||
| broadway_bound92 |
I joined, but I think I'm gonna wait and read for a while before picking a character or anything. And I read Angel's bio and the connection with Mimi, so if I do decide I'd like to be Mimi, that'd be a good start for the bio. Oh, and I wouldn't want to be her, but I was thinking it might be a cool idea to add Alison as a character. Just a thought. |
