MUSICAL MIX-TAPE MASH-UPS!
I'm a big fan of musicals; and many of them have inspired my characters. But if I used EVERY song that I had an idea for, I would have ALL the cats. Like, ALL of them. Therefore, I have thought up a nifty little adoption idea.
Every once in a while (say, per month) I will post 20 character ideas: 10 boys, 10 girls. They will be RANDOMIZED as far as everyone knows: all you need to do, if you want to try, is to pick a number. I will then send you a song and a description of the type of character that you have chosen, with some of the following tags. For example:
RANDOM PERSON: I want number 300 - girl please!
Great Choice! The song is:
The Sun'll come out tomorrow....
Musical: Annie
Character About/Singing: Annie Mudge/Warbucks
Suggested Age: Child-Young Teen (Kit-Apprentice Age)
Type of Role: Child Ingenue
Key Words | Ideas: Orphan, idealistic, charismatic, plucky
And thaaat's it - if you want more information about the show, what happens to the character - you CAN ask; but please know I'm trying to pick songs known as 'character bits' - something that's meant to tell us a bit about the character, rather than just something...meh. Which is why I picked Tomorrow as an example I will not actually be using (and not just because that song sometimes makes my ears bleed)...
RULES:
1. One cat per person per week.
2. While ages are suggested, you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW THEM (although - I AM trying to get different ages there on the site, and some songs definitely hint at an older age).
3. I will do my best to try and pick a variety of characters: old, young, straight garbage villainous and somewhat comedic, flirty and repressed - musicals have a wonderful variety of people, after all.
4. One Show per grouping - which means I try to do 20 different shows at a time. Depending on how versed in musicals you are feel free to try and guess a show idea.
5. When I PM you with your choice, if you don't mind me posting your prompt here, please tell me!
6. If you want to request ideas for what the characters should also look like, feel free to ask me! While I technically try to stick towards personalities and some history junk, that doesn't mean I won't have a backlog of images you can pick from.
That Being Said.... NAME THAT TUNE!
