^{Hello, welcome to Asphyxiate Records.

Copyright-Rights/ Legalization
Welcome to the slash-promoted role play community. Everything beyond this point is completely copy-righted information. This is purely for the fun of people on their desktops and or lap tops. No harm is, has been or ever will be intended through this game. Don’t be offended, we are playing make-believe for our own forms of entertainment.

As for the pictures used for the community’s icon and or logos, they are all images taken from D.A. I photoshopped a few of them to promote this community. I left all copy-righted indications on the work if it was there.}

The Community
Hello! Welcome! This community is a slash-only role play. Femm-slash and the normal slash both included. I’m sorry, but heterosexual relationships will not fit in here, so if you are looking for that please leave. This will take place over Aol Instant Messenger and Livejournal.

This is set up like an actual record label. But not nearly as technical. I was going to have it be pretty specific, but when I looked into it- it’s rather sticky and complicated. So I just cut it down, trimmed it up and made things easier to understand. This will be completely AU. And parts assigned will be described. For right now, each part is only allowed a certain amount of people. This is so we don’t have all musicians and no managers. Catch my drift? Good.

Sorry I’ve had to say so much- I just like making things clear.

Rules

OOC Rules:

1. Please, this is a literate-loving community. It’s wonderful to understand and appreciate the basics of the English Language. And it is so, so admirable to actually go beyond that and be advanced. Make your words and descriptions into a story! Come on people, add details. Get into it.

2. Storybook only. However, I might bend if you can actually prove that you role play well and detailed in another form of play. And then it can be an exception.

3. People die. Just not here. Yes it’d be nice for plot lines, but what if someone else wants to play the character you decided to knock off? Completely unfair. So, instead of killing a character- just say they moved and the past they had here will be wiped clean. Just so that the next person willing to play said character has a clean slate.

4. This is a mature role play. Realize this. Don’t come here and be one of those people that are easily offended by subjects such as: Rape, incest, sodomy, vulgar sexual scenes, swearing, blood etc.

5. Yes. We accept incest. Marriages are allowed- under the consent of the MOD. Adoptions too- also under the consent of the MOD. Realize that we’ll do this realistically. You don’t get a brat in two days after deciding to adopt, now do you? NO MPREG! It’s physically impossible- and whenever people have played mpreg- their “males” turned out rather girly and I sort of just want to smack that player and be like “Stop playing yourself in a rock star’s costume!” Females are allowed to have normal pregnancies- if they went through a sperm-donation program. You can choose a random daddy, or let’s say Vicky-T would like to have a child with Audrey, but she doesn’t want some random hick from online to donate the sperm. So she asks her good friend Gabe if he’d be kind enough to donate sperm. And he agrees. I like colors- tell me your favorite in the subject line.

Get it? I can answer questions. That’s very realistic, btw. And it can be switched- maybe two men want a baby all their own. Get a mother willing to bear a child for you. These egg/sperm donations can be original characters you make up or from other players that are willing to go through with it.

6. Keep the drama realistic please. If your character is a heroine addict, they won’t shoot up twenty-four seven and then wear a t-shirt and go skip through the zoo the next day. Oh, miscarriages are allowed- with MOD consent. Again. As are serious diseases such as cancer, HIVs etc. Just remember- you can’t die. I lied. I like music better- tell me a line from your favorite song in the subject line when you apply. No colors in this booklet.

7. Everyone can play a maximum of two males. And two females. So that’s a total of four. That’s fair, I believe. OH! Pets are allowed- stay realistic. They live in New York City. I’d think it’d be fairly difficult to own a couple of horses in the Big Apple. BUT! You could have them live far out of the city- if that’s the case, of course. Two children per couple. Put a disclaimer in each userinfo of each character

8. Play each character equally. And don’t forget the children exist. They can grow up, but they’ll never develop into a main character. Always a side character- sorry.

9. After you apply, you'll be contacted by a mod for an Audition scene that will say if you are officially in or not. Thank you. Also, make sure you can be on a lot. And update your journal every two weeks. The longer entry- the better. But the min. is about 2 paragraphs. An interviewer's interview counts as an entry. It means you're being active still.

10. You can have Original Characters. They can't be blood-related to any above characters. So no step-sister from the past or anything. They can- however, be an old friend or things of the sort- as long as you talk it out first with the person. Also, not all Band-members being played in the AU have to be musicians. I mean, Jared Leto could be a make-up artist for all I care.

IC RULES/Information: (of course, to make fun and add twists- some of these rules can be broken. You’ll see which ones I mean ;D)

1. People live in condos, townhouses, pent houses, apartments etc. This is set in New York City. Asphyxiate Records is the biggest record company out there, owned by the one and only Brendon Boyd Urie. He inherited the company from his father at a young age of 16 when his father suddenly passed away due to unknown circumstances. Ever since, the company has been thriving under his fist.

2. Musicians: Don’t speak to the interviewers unless you have a contract signed and prepared. And unless you’re in a real interview. It would not be wise to “hang out” with an interviewer outside of the company. Trust no one. You don’t want to mingle in the tar and make the wrong move now do you?

3. Bands- Be smart. Stay out of each others pants. It causes problems so keep it in. You have thousands of boys and girls that’d gladly go for you- you don’t need to your guitarist.

4. Roadies: You’re a roadie. You are not a groupie- and you are not a frat boy. Don’t party so hard core that you can’t tell a red wire from a blue. If you fuck up your job, you can be left in five states away from where you live. You don’t party with the band, you help the band. You’re the band/musician’s iron and they are the building. You support them and make them look awesome. You don’t sleep with the band- that’s low. It won’t get you anywhere. This is the music industry- not a god damn whore house.

5. Interviewers: Don’t get emotionally connected to the musicians/band members you get interview. You have to back stab them anyways and put their souls on a white slab of paper in the end. The softer you get, the better you make them sound and the more you forget to give the cold- hard truth.

6. Garage bands? You’re nothing okay? You won’t get lucky and just because you sleep with a rock star or a rock star’s manager doesn’t mean you’re promised a spot in the record company. Go about your wits and actually try and get scouted out by a manager. Don’t go after them, they’ll be more impressed if they go after you and you are surprised that they were there in the first place.

Positions in the Company (Descriptions included. There are IC and OOC descriptions)

Owner:
Taken
Brendon Urie

IC:
The owner is..the owner of the company. He sees who officially goes in and out of the company and promotes bands. Gets their records out faster than forest fire. He helps direct music videos, helps get you with the correct producers. You do not upset the owner. Because you can be the scum on his shoes in seconds flat if you screw it up.

OOC:
The owner is actually the MOD. She accepts and denies people going in and out of the community. She’ll organize the pages, positions etc.

Co-Owner:
Open

IC:
Basically the owner’s assistant for everything. They have pretty much the same judge as the owner but do a bit more of the dirty work. The co-owner will scout for new artists on the rise and give a manager’s card to them.

OOC:
They are allowed to accept and deny people as well. Both MOD and co-MOD will discuss who’s in and out. And who stays in and out every two weeks when the journals are updated. Makes sure things are in check. This person also looks for new members. NEEDED.

Producer:
Open

IC:
The producer shows off the record company. Promotes the company, gets it popular. This helps the musicians and everything. Gets them more noticed, and this makes lots and venues open up more eagerly for performers. Then they are able to afford nicer things, better concerts because the producer has done a good job.

OOC:
The producer is basically the graphic-designer for the community. They make sure things are looking neat and organized and nice. They will make things more easily accessible and understandable. Person needed for this position should have a good understanding of HTML and things of the like.

--From here out, only some of these positions have any OOC positions included
It goes in order as of respect to the company. The higher on the chart you are- the more difficult you are to replace and the more people will respect you (of course, respect all shapes- BUT! In conversation? Go with the flow)—

Record Producers
Needed: 3

-The record producers are the people that will guide the band/musician through recording. They will edit the music, add effects if needed. They basically help get the album done and help get it good and likable. And also, still to the band/musicians’ liking.

OOC:
A record producer doesn’t have to be assigned to an according band. A manager will hook up the musician/band with a record producer and from there out things will go off.

Producers:
Helena Bonham Carter

Musicians
Needed: 5

These men and women are solo artists that write their own lyrics, and play their own shows and sing their own songs. Solo artists.

Musicians
Brendon Urie

Music Ensembles
Needed: 5

These people are in groups- a.k.a bands. They sing, write and rock together.

OOC: For these, you can make a band with other characters, and you can do this before hand or evolve a musician with another to make a duet or a bigger band. Get my drift? Good.

Music Ensembles
None

Manager
Needed: 8

A manager organizes the bands life. They will rent out hotels, venues anything to get the band where they have to be and what not. They will go to the record producers, they will get an interview set up- find make-up artists etc.

OOC: Managers are assigned to different bands/musicians through the MOD. Or, if you’re playing a manager and someone asks you to manage them- you can agree. As long as you inform the mod. And a manager can ask to manage a band themselves.

Managers
None

Roadies
Needed: 5

Techies. These people help out with the setting of the stage. Whether they paint a cloud green or hook up the fog machine.

Roadies
None

Interviewers
Needed: 5

Cut and gut the musicians/bands. Have no mercy. Get the truth, but you’re in constant competition with other interviewers. You’re a liar, cheater, and you play dirty to get exactly what you want.

Magazines

Rolling Stone
Oliver Chrystian Rhian

AP(Alternate Press)
None

Spin
None

Kerrang!
None

Revolver
None

OOC: Unless you ask a MOD for a particular magazine part- you will just be an average interviewer. Want to interview for Rolling Stone? Ask. Also, when you interview a band mate- you write out a real interview and then post it on your LJ under an interview- and hey, if you want to make a magazine cover or something nifty like that, ask one of the MODs for graphic help if you need it! This job can be dreadfully fun.

Photographers/Directors
Needed: 5

These are needed for magazine covers, photo shoots, music videos. Anything of that sort. It is fairly self-explanatory. You can be a personal photographer for a band if you like.

Photographers/directors
None

Make Up Artists/Stylists
Needed: 3

You make the boys and girls pretty. Put on some eyeliner and spike up that hair baby, we’re rock stars now.

Make Up Artists/ Stylists
None

Costume Designers
Needed: 3

Make sure your musicians look their best. And make sure the dancers look damn good too. If they look bad…It’s your head.

Costume Designers
None

Dancers
Needed:
Male: 4
Female: 4

Come on, get in those heels and put on those clothes. Sway your hips, show a little skin- but remember- this isn’t your show. You’re here to make the concert awesome.

Dancers
None

Garage Bands
Needed: 3
Total people: 12

You’re..nothing. At least right now. Kids in these bands can range from 14-20. Managers might seek you and they might not. You might be some high school dork and you might not. Who knows?

Members from Garage bands
None

College Students
Needed: 5

Maybe you’re learning to be a composer, maybe you want to be a doctor. Who knows? We just need some average people here. People to be fans, and people that aren’t rock stars or part of the business.

College Students
None
