Music has been the source of life and death since the beginning of time. Because of that, music became a weapon and began an epic war that even the gods feared. So they created a being of pure music to end it. But when peace was attained, the music ceased and the being died.
But as time passed, it was forgotten of this past and the control of music, so it became a source of entertainment. But 3000 years later a group formed, the Dark Composers. They wrote and performed dark melodies that could cause a person to die or become mad just by listening, intentionally or not, or worse. Music was once again a weapon of mass destruction.
The gods had also been forgotten about by many, so they were fatally weak. But they used the last of their strength to become human along with their respective instruments. Although the gods took many a preperation, they soon found that only their spirits would pass through to become born in a new life with no memories. Their instruments were split across the world, and became compositions for that instrument.
If these compositions are played, they will endow the performer with unbeievable power, so the the Dark Composers are after it. If they get them, the universe is under their rule.

Characters-
Guitar
Username: [Rallion]
Name: Tamara
Surname: Boreas
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Instrument: Guitar
Appearance: Brown eyes (with green contacts), light brown straight hair coming down to shoulders with orange-brown highlights. Typically wears unrevealing clothing. She'll normally wear this style pants and any t-shirt that'll match. Medium build, not pudgy nor skinny.
Bio: Tamara grew up with a musical family; her mother was a singer, her father a double bassist. At an early age she started learning the piano. She continued this through primary school, and indeed to junior high. She soon discovered that she was only playing the piano because that was what her parents had wanted, and went on to play the guitar. By her first year in senior high she had been in a band (which fell apart within the year) and won several competitions. After that she decided to go solo and went on to win (and not win) many more competitions and awards, improving a lot along the way.
Apart from music, Tamara's only other love in life has been technology. She often pulled apart broken machinery to see how it worked, and was taking as many classes involving technology as she could. Needless to say she prefers electric guitar to acoustic.
_____________________________________________________________
Flute/Clarinet-
Username: Luna Ishukan
Name: Kira
Surname: Orusaki
Age: 15
Sex: female
Instrument: Flute, Clarinet
Appearance: Hair and face- Long black hair frames her heart shaped face. Her eyes are shining black, with long lashes. She has thin eyebrows, and they seem to create a very innocent expression. Her lips are always lightly glossed, and enhance the innocent look.
Body- She wears a black zip-up top, and denim jeans. She has a black bandanna, which hold her hair back from her face. Her fingers are tapered, and the nail color is a sparkilng black.
Bio: She loves music, and the flute is her favorite. Her parents were never really supportive of her love of music, but they still help her. Her parents are pretty rich, since her mother is a model, and her father is a well known doctor. She isn't stuck up at all, and hates it when she gets large amouts of money, or expensive things. Her flute playing and clarinet playing has suprized even her teachers. She's gotten better than a few of them.
Personality: Sweet, somwhat a flirt, very outgoing, and tries to get on the good side of everyone. Her friends are pretty surprized that she doesn't have a boyfriend yet, she's so loveable.
_____________________________________________________________
Horn-
_____________________________________________________________
Violin-
Username:[yin~yang]
Name: Jeff
Surname: Hoffman
Age: 16
Sex: M
Instrument: Violin
Appearence: about 5'6'', glasses, short cropped brunette hair, wears Hot Topic T-Shirts (i.e. "People like you are the reason people like me need medication"), likes to crack "Your mom" jokes (i.e. "What's kickin?" "Your mom"). Carries around a white laptop in a bag, a huge grammar-whore.
Bio: A bit of a loner high school student, Jeff's only passion was playing music. It was said by his peers that his violin playing could be compared with some of the greats. He truly was a prodigy, however lonely he was. He was invited to a music camp, and although he thought it truly useless, his parents urged him to go.
_____________________________________________________________
Piano-
Username: creaturelover00
Name: Kai Senthro
Surname: Doesn't matter
Age: 14
Sex: male
Instrument: piano
Appearence: 5'10", slightly skinny. He has straight black hair down to just above his eyes that looks slightly brown in the sun. His eyes are blue, a tint of green coating beneath. He wears long sleeves in all seasons, long pants as well.
Bio: He has played piano since he was 11, but stopped taking lessons a few months ago because his instructor didn't want him doing anything but practicing. That drove him crazy. He loved to sing and act, and with the instructer breathing down his back, he snapped. Called the guy a few undisclosable names. And had his parents stop paying him. But he still loved the piano. He picked it up easily, natural talent out his ears. His grandma had been a concert pianist.
He's smart, plain and simple, but is insane to the point of a genius, and he's tall...Very tall...And growing...
_____________________________________________________________
Drums-
Username:Kaitou Hiryuu
Name:Eddie
Surname:Kaplan
Age:17
Sex: Male
Instrument:Drums
Appearance:About 5'10, with a lean build. Has wavy, shoulder-length brown hair which is usually parted in the middle and occasionally obscures his ice-blue eyes. Generally wears grey-colored shirts, usually sleeveless, as well as denim jeans. Also usually wears black wristbands.
Bio:Though he never owned a drum set or even took lessons, Eddie always seemed to have a passion for the instrument. He collected drum sticks, and constantly went over to other peoples' houses solely to practice the instrument. He mimicked the drum beats of rock songs he'd listened to recently, and had a habit of drumming his fingers on any surface his hands rested on.
After a few years of infrequent practice, he gradually grew better to the point that he could play the instrument as well as, if not better than, most of the people he knew that owned sets. Upon receiving an invitation to a music camp, he decided it might be worth it to get some legitimate lessons to increase his skill further.
Besides drumming, Eddie usually spent his time playing video games or hanging out at malls, usually shoplifting as opposed to buying things he wanted. In general, most people seem to view him as "That punk kid," a rather accurate statement despite his quiet demeanor.
_____________________________________________________________
Voice-
Username:Keakealani
Name: Kadence
Surname: McKenzie
Age: 17
Sex: Femme
Instrument: Voice
Appearance: (as a note - you'd had "appearance misspelt, you may want to fix that up)...Anyway...
Long, black hair, slightly wavy and layered a bit in the front. Purple streaks on either side of my head, framing my dark, almost opaque eyes. Purple-tinted "hippie glasses", the sort of circular ones that just rest over the bridge of your nose (like of my my romani glasses on my avatar, but circular). 5'3" tall, about 100 pounds. Similar to my avatar, really. Usually wearing jeans and a random T-shirt, a funky belt, and a pair of high-top sneakers with different shoelaces every day. Oh yeah, she's undenominationally Asian.
Bio: Kadence is one of three, with both an older sister and a younger brother. She started singing in the 4th grade and instantly got hooked, joining every choir she could find. She slowly spent herself in her music, displaying an unusual aptitude for music theory and transposition. Through hard work and constant practising, she developed a somewhat reliable perfect pitch, although the weather has a tendency to throw it off.
Kadence is also something of a political radical - she is definitely what would be defined as a neo-hippie. Kadence's love for music transferred easily to her advocation of humanitarian rights. She is very peace-loving, although she has a tendency to suggest "out there" sort of life changes like "if you just killed one every three babies, we'd have a much better world, don't you think?", to quote. Regardless, she is quirky and intelligent, often thinking in very...uh...different sorts of ways. Kadence is very fond of Eastern ideology and will often comment on someone's "essence" or "kharma", often in surprising context. She is, rather, the epitome of the crazy liberal hippie.

NOTES
Include last names, people!
THIS IS THIRD-PERSON!!!! THIRD!!!
Oh, snap! Bold AND underline. You know he's serious!
You guys are kids, 12-18 years old.
The reincarnated gods [you guys] will be able to transform your instruments into weapons if it's something you can carry around. If you're piano or voice [since drums only need drumsticks] you can't carry them around. Voice may be portable, but it can create a weapon by singing the correct arrangement. Piano can summon a set of keys of energy infront of them to play.
With the proper arrangements, you can use your instrument to do many things, but each specializes in one or two things that it can do better than the others.
Guitar is for transportation and location, like to locate something that you've touched before or to go somewhere.
Flute and clarinet are for communication, like with people far away or animals, but you can't control them as well as drums can.
Horn is for defense, like shields, walls, or armor.
Violin is for transformation, like of inanimate objects into something else, even some other beings, but only temporary.
Piano is for summoning, like monsters or items, but it works the best if you do it with another instrument at the same time.
Drums is for corruption and manipulation, like causing another to do your bidding, doesn't work on those who have touched you.
Voice is best at healing.
You can use other instruments, but it won't do anything special for you.
And at beginning, nothing happpens when you play, not until you learn a certain song that activates your abilities [its different than the god instrument composition]. And after getting playing you get your god instrument by playing the god instrument composition, you will have slight control over corresponding element.

Compositions/Goals
This is the post that states info on the compositions that are recently being searched for, and who can play them. This post will be edited after each composition is obtained. Same thing with the current goals for the rp.
The dark composers have an idea just who has the reincarnated souls. So they're setting up a music camp and sending invites to alot of suspected people. There is where you guys will find the compositions to activate your abilities.
I would prefer you to start at the camp or have you person making their way to there, since that is where the first part of the roleplay takes place.
Sonata memior
A sonata of the subconcious. A duet between violin and flute instruments. The sound seems that of a dream to its victim, while a thundering reality to its performer.
If the Dark Composers get it - Causes the world to lose all memory for 5 days at a time once a year. Only during the Winter Solstice can it be performed.
If the Orchestra Gods [the dark performer's name for us] get it - The violin and flute musicians will be able to cause one person to lose memory for 48 hours once a year as a duet on any day of the year.

Kira looked up as the limo stopped and a door opened. She had been reading a book and hadn't been paying attention to where they were. Putting her book back into her bag, she got out before her driver could reach her. The man gave an exasperated sigh, since he enjoyed driving for her. She was very quiet and only spoke when spoken to. "Thanks, but I'll take my stuff. You can go." She grabbed a small wheeled suitcase and her purse. "That's it? Knowing your mother you'd have half a dozen bags." Kira laughed. "That's it. I'm not like mom at all." She fixed her bandana and walked towards the main building.

As they pulled up to the camp, Jeff's mother started, as usual, to pester him.
"Oh, have you got your toothbrush?"
"Yes, mom"
"Enough Shirts?"
"Yes, mom"
"Enough underwear?"
"MOM!!!"
"Ok, ok, just checking. You don't want it to be another "camp" episode, do you?"
"MOM!!!! I'm fine!"
They pulled up to the front of the camp, and as Jeff got out, he noticed a strange ominousness of the camp.
"JEFF!"
"What, mom?"
"You forgot your Violin in the car!"
"...oh..."

Kadence started purposefully towards the entrance of the camp. She pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose slightly and surveyed the scene. She noticed that most of her peers were being dropped off by smothering parents in luxury cars. It was typical of her slightly dysfunctional family that she ended up taking the bus up; it wasn't because of lack of funds as much as the sheer underprotectiveness of her parental units. She was a typical middle child, neither the baby or the independent elder.
I hope I find someone I like here, though, or this will just be another drag of overworking music, she thought cynically. Kady wasn't exactly the kind of girl who socialized. She was more....the kind with whom people attempted to socialize and either liked or disliked immediately. It makes it easy to choose, though, when you really don't have a choice.
In the instance that she didn't have anyone to talk to, there was always the fallback of studying music. It was something of a self-satisfaction issue, that out of arrogance she always felt the need to be the best and always well-prepared. It was also, perhaps, paranoia that she might hold others back if she didn't double or triple her efforts in each piece.
Kady wandered down the road a bit, humming to herself. She wondered if there was some sort of sign-in or some such courtesy, but assumed there would be an announcement momentarily.

Kai trecked through the camp, one bag over his shoulder, another on in his hand, and the largest, rectangular bag on his back, as he headed to the cabin he was going to have to live in for the next...month...Blech.
Kai isn't against living in a cabin, it's that he's going to be away from his home. Well...it's not so much only his home, but the chaotic organization methods he'll miss. He doubts he'll have a cabin-mate that will let him keep unorganization the main theme. But what can he do?

Kira searched for her cabin and finally found it. "I hope no one notices me, unlike at school." She pulled out her book again, and began reading. The novel was very intresting, and you could catch her scribbling in the margins if you looked in. She finally opened her bag and pulled out her instruments. She had a colapsible stand and put her music on it. Putting her music on her stand, she started practicing.
