I've been watching Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad and it gave me an idea: Who doesn't go through the "Wanting-to-be-a-musician" phase at some point in his/her life? Well that's what this RPG is all about: A group of starry-eyed high school students who all have one thing in common: they all want to be in a successful rock band. They've even come up with the perfect name: Physical Graffitti, after a Led Zeppelin album (hence the name of the RP). So, here's where you can fit in. You can either be a bandmate, or you can be someone else in on the story (such as a manager, producer, wide-eyed fan, you get the idea.).
Here's the sign-up sheet:
For the band-mates:
Name:
Age: (we're in high school, so reasonable high school age. And no ten-year-old child prodigies, please. Sorry Azumanga Daioh.)
Musical Talent: (which musical instrument will your bandmate play? Or will he/she just sing? And yes, since Jethro Tull had a flutist, I'll accept nonconventional musical talent)
Personality/History:
Physical Description: The hair color, eye color, things like that.
Extra (if needed):
For everyone else: (the managers, fans, disgruntled former bandmates, parents, love interests, etc)
Name:
Age: (since this isn't the core cast, you can be older than high school)
Personality/History:

Here's my character to start things going:
Name: Calvin Dorland
Age: 16
Musical Talent: Keyboards and singing. He also started playing the recorder after discovering the Patrick Troughton version of Doctor Who.
Personality/History: Calvin spent most of his time home-schooled because his parents didn't like the curriculum the public schools were "attempting to brainwash him with" (their words). When he's not proving to the state that he is learning, he spends his time on his dream. He can talk for hours about his favorite bands and has a HUGE CD collection. He's also a sci-fi nut, and his favorite show is Doctor Who (in case you haven't guessed, Calvin's an author avatar). His favorite writers are C.S. Lewis and Robert Heinlein.
Physical Description: Hair: Brown with blue bangs. Eyes: Brown Height: 6' 1" Weight: 156 lbs.
