    Introduction

    Welcome to Role Play idol, an original role play competition! 'Original' role playing (on KHV) is the acting out of a particular character you create yourself, from scratch. From name and age to bio and personality, you create this character and act them out in a story-like format with other players.

    So, do you enjoy role playing, competitions, or just writing in general? What about if you need help sharpening your role play skills, want to get back into it (or start it), or want to meet and interact with new people or role players? This competition may be for you!

    Uh, sure. But what is it?


    This will be an OC (original character) competition, meaning that each contestant will have one original character to create and compete with throughout. There will be a different 'season' each month, but this is for season one. If you sign up for season one, you do not have to compete in season two or onwards. The competition with be a month-long one.

    There will be several different challenges and themes, and this will work in an 'American Idol' style. There will be four judges. You can not compete and be a judge at the same time, but no matter who you are, you can apply to be a judge. There will be no more than 12 contestants a season, and around ten or so challenges running three days each.

    At the end of each challenge, the panel of judges will give their critiques to each member on their performance, and there will be a vote off period. Contestants and judges will be able to vote for their favorites, with no voting for themselves of course. The prize will of course be being crowned KHV's Role Play Idol for season one, and you also receive a pin!


    Okay, so I can just sign up and do whatever I want then?

    ...No, lol. Here are some guidelines/rules.


    ♣ There is no voting for yourself and when you vote, you must put a valid reason for why you're voting for who you're voting for in a post.

    ♣ Please be original. Your character cannot be from another anime, game, etc, unless the challenge causes for them to be.

    ♣ Your entry OC must be as simplified as possible. That means no powers or anything weird like that. Why? Because some of the challenges might conflict with that. Don't worry, the competition isn't that straight edge. You'll get to play with some powers.

    ♣ No god-modding. Yes, this still applies. No power playing.

    ♣ Do not ignore the other contestants. Interact with everyone fairly.

    ♣ Activity will be important, but you have three days to post between challenges and voting periods.

    ♣ Try to stay in character.

    ♣ A judge cannot be a contestant.

    ♣ You must have two characters. A girl, and a boy. They can be the same person, just gender flipped with different names if you want, but you'll see why this matters later.

    ♣ Don't bring drama into this. If you're paired up with someone you dislike during a challenge, and/or you get voted out, don't rage. Just deal with it, or try again next time.

    ♣ You cannot have your friends vote for you. I think I said it before, but people outside of the competition can vote for the contenders, but must provide a valid reason for doing so--like everyone else. If I find out you've asked your buddy to go vote for you and BS some reason, you will be disqualified. It is unfair and dishonest. Same goes for constantly voting for your friends, and for not voting at all. All contestants and judges are required to vote, FAIRLY.

    ♣ I reserve the right to add more rules before the competition starts, so check back here often if you decide to sign up!

    Alright, whatever. How do I sign up?

    Just fill out the sign up form below and wait for the fun to begin. :] This form can be short, by the way. You don't have to work hard at it. Remember, two characters. Male and Female.

    There are TWELVE slots open for contestants (if less than that sign up, then we'll rearrange some things). TEN rounds and voting sessions, and FOUR judge slots open. There's no way you'll be denied, if you apply. I won't 'not' accept you, so give it a shot.

    Wait, what does a judge do, then?


    If you are a judge, your job is to read the posts, and follow the competition. Before the poll goes up, all of the judges will critique every contestant on their performance, and state who they think is the winner. The judges will have to have private conversations to mutually agree on who is the winner for that challenge (majority vote), and that person is immune from the poll. You guys aren't actually apart of the competition, but you help with the voting process, and eventually, crowning the winner. Your sign up is nonexistent, anyone can be a judge, even if you don't role play. Just be fair and send me a private message. Anyone posting on this thread about wanting to be a judge will be tsk'd and denied. First come, first serve. You cannot be a judge repetitively. If you are a judge this time, you cannot be a judge for season two. However, you can be a judge for season three.

    I would definitely do this if it gets lift off. If not for Season 1, but for 2, if it gets that far.

    Appearance: Blonde hair that naturally looks windswept. Big brown eyes, a strong build. (Imagine Daniel/John/#4 from I Am Number Four)
    Bio: Lance never really had a good life before he moved to a new town and met Kara, the love of his life. He didn't have much money, he didn't have nice clothes, or a cool car, he didn't even have real parents. But now everythings all right. He turned eighteen and got a job, a truck, and an apartment of his own. All that topped off with his beautiful fiance, life is great.

    Appearance: Kara is pale, has dark eyes and hair, usually wears soft pink colors.
    Bio: Kara grew up in a nice family that never went without. Raised with a strong sense of moral ethics, she never has a bad word to say about anybody. When Lance moved to town, she was nice to the "Foster kid" when nobody else was. Needless to say, he fell in love with her. And it wasn't very hard for her to find that she loved him too. They're engaged now, but they're not going to marry for a few years yet.

    Hey if all the spots get filled would it be possible to start this weekend? It seems odd to start in the middle of the week.

    Adding you, Tummer.

    Thank you all so much for your support. Getting lift off means a lot, and every one of you contributed. :] If you didn't get a shot in this season, stay tuned for Season II and make sure to cheer on the current contestants!

    @BKB; We'll see. I said if we filled up before the 10th, there's a chance I'd start sooner. So probably, yes.

    C L O S E D !

    If you need any more help, or have any questions to ask, please contact me through private message or visitor message.
