Æ Play Thread
I’ve had this idea for a while: the Æs act out a play…but I wanted to wait until the conflict simmered down a bit.
SO, the Æs who wish to participate must fill out a sheet. But first, a bit more information.
They will be putting on Little Red Riding Hood. The available spots are:
CAST
*Little Red Riding Hood (I will just be referring to her as LRRH)
*The Wolf
*Granny
*The Woodcutter
*Assorted woodland creatures: fox, rabbit, bluebird (they have no lines)
CREW
*Cast director
*Lights manager
*Costume and makeup manager
*Set manager
*And three Æs for set crew (building & setting up the set)
Hey, I had an older brother and sister who were both in their high school’s drama club for as long as they were there, and I once acted a minor part in one of the plays, so I know my stuff!
No CBers allowed! (Well, I guess you can ask me if you have any questions, because I’ll be nervously hovering in the balcony, but otherwise it should just be Æs.
So all total, we need 14 Æs. Now, for the sheet!

What part do you want?: (if someone has already taken the part you wanted, please choose another)
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10)
Other:
We will be doing this RP-style, but the Æs can also just chat back and forth.
Now, for my Æs:
Name: Jarnen (this is his redone personality; see the thread on DtE)
Age: #ageless, but looks 14-ish
Appearance: Curly black hair, green eyes, black eye tattoo things, a few freckles.
Personality: Likes violent video games, loves music, (will not go anywhere without his iPod and earbuds) also likes other forms of performing arts, namely acting; isn’t awkward about girls. Wouldn’t mind just being friends with one. Is devoted to whichever girl he has a crush on, though.
What part do you want?: The Woodcutter!
Acting abilities: 9 out of 10
Other: Speaks in bold italics, with a British accent.
Name: Serene
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Appearance: Straight brown hair that goes slightly past her shoulders, brown eyes with green glasses, a lot of freckles. Is usually wearing some sort of scarf, with a t-shirt and Jenas.
Personality: Shy and quiet, likes reading. As a result of that, she has a wide vocabulary. Is an extreme introvert; doesn’t really like to do things that all the other Æs like. But she can be really nice and sweet if you need some comforting.
What part do you want?: One of the set crew, please?
Acting abilities: 2/10
Other: Speaks in italics
Name: Rosalyn
Gender: Female
Age: Undecided. Somewhere in early teens.
Appearance: Slightly darkish skin (from being in Hawaii), large brown eyes with long eyelashes, waist length curly hair. The hair is dark brown, with some touches of blond and auburn-ish red. Wears it down most of the time, usually with a flower stuck in it. Is generally small-ish overall.
Personality: Friendly and social with girl Æs, likes parties and dances. She is kind of flirty, but actually doesn’t tend to get very attached to a boy, though she often acts like it. Is always checking her appearance; she’s never without her makeup kit which includes a small mirror, lipstick, and eye shadow. She’s seldom without a boyfriend. (Except for now; Bolton left and now she’s flailing around helplessly. So I guess she’s looking for a crush—LEAFPOOL!!!—Oh, right, this isn’t a crush thread.)
What part do you want?: *Costume and makeup manager.*
Acting ability: 5/10
Other: Speaks in bold with asterisks.
Alright! I will post this, now, and let the other Æs sign up.
Adios!

COOL!
Yay!!! This sounds so fun!!!!!!!!! I've always wanted to be in a play...mostly a techie. I can act too....but I'm not experienced enough to be LRRH, and none of the other charactrers seem to fit me. That's my only problem: I don't have much adaptibility. The more different the character is from me, the less I can do it.But, oh, I'd love to be a techie!
This will be fun. Awesome idea, Leafpool!

Personality: Sweet, bubbly, a little naive. Rather exciteable. Makes friends easily, very talktative. Takes offense readily, posesses very little common sense. Intimidated by authority. Loves muffins.
Preferred Part: Little Red!
Acting Abilities: Hmm, an eight or so.
~~
Name: Critic A
Gender: Female
Age: #AGELESS (Appears approximately 14)
Appearance: Very long, wavy, dark brown hair. Usually ties it up in a French braid. Black, almond-shaped, calculating eyes. Wears square tortoiseshell glasses. Actually rather pretty when she smiles, a fact not many can appreciate because she almost constantly looks bored, annoyed, angry, imperious, or disgusted.
Personality: A bit uppity, very smart, sarcastic and cynical. Very low regard for most other AEs. Always has a smart-alecky quip to toss back at you. Hard worker, very effecient. Not the best conversationalist...
Preferred Part: Script supervisor, but that's not an option, so... cast director.
Acting Abilities: -12. Awful stage fright.

Preferred Part: ... Set crew?
Acting Abilities: 4. Ehhhh...
(December 26, 2016 - 3:33 pm)
YES! Finally, my brilliant and theatrical side gets a chance to shine. To capture the eyes of the crowd--to perform on the stage 'neath the blazing lights--'tis the best profession and choice, truly.
Who knew you were such a theatre nerd?
YESSS!!
Name: MewFour
Gender: Male
Age: Roughly 17? Ageless, though.
Appearance: Lavender skin, violet eyes, purple hair. A black tux, or any other sharp dress.
Personality: Calculating, cold, sometimes a softie around *cough* Quill *cough*, sometimes annoying, whiny, manipulative, sometimes a diva, loves the spotlight and isn't afraid at all about putting on airs or being in front of crowds. He might be somtimes tough to work with, maybe--but what an actor.
What part do you want?: Who else but the wolf? I am, after all, the portrayed villain of any AE manuevere. Mwahaha!
Acting ability: 9/10--seriously, have you read any of Mew's posts? The guy uses huge and fancy words, he's sly, clever, and never misses a chance to grab the spotlight.
Other: Speaks in bold.
Name: 8-Piece
Gender: Male
Age: About 16?
Appearance: Gray dogs ears and tail, dog's nose, usually wears loose and casual clothing and sandals but will put on dress clothes if he needs to.
Personality: Kind, talkative, friendly and open, always willing to make pals but doesn't like rising to the front, prefers to work with improv rather than script.
What part?: Oh, um, probably actually on the lights. I like lighting and designing more than acting...
Acting ability: 4/10. Not that skilled at memorising lines or acting but great with natural performances. Likes the set and colors.
Other: Speaks in italics.
Name: Veranda
Gender: Female
Age: About 15-ish?
Appearance: Pointed ears and bat nose, large and leathery black wings (but can be put away if need be), short black T-shirt and black jeans or skirt, black flats. Dark skin, yellow eyes. She's a partial vampire.
Personality: Brash, bold, not afraid to blast out her voice but wouldn't really like a super-committed part. A total friendly flirt, but doesn't like gettig involved in serious relationships.
What part?: Eh, what about an assorted critter? No lines is fine by me--I'll put it all inta the expressions.
Acting ability: 6/10? Prefers background roles and parts without many lines, but still important to the show.
Other: Speaks in bold italics.
(December 26, 2016 - 5:54 pm)
Alrighty, Counter! You get to do a play!
Do I want to? I'm not sure how good I'll be... Hey, can I be a backstage person? Lights?
Yeah, I think!
Name: Counter
Gender: Male
Age: 14? 15?
Appearance: Tan skin with longish dark blonde hair and brown eyes. Short and slender, but surprisingly strong. Wears t-shirts and jeans most of the time, with converse shoes. Has fine, delicate facial features.
Personality: Um... disagrees with me a lot. We've been over this! I do not!
What part do you want?: Can I be lights? Or anything backstage.
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10) Probably about zero. What are you talking about?! I'm an amazing actor! I'm a ten! I just don't feel like acting today. Sure... Humph.
Other: Talks in bold. Is looking for a cr- *claps hand over Cockleburr's mouth* Be quiet! I'm NOT!
(December 26, 2016 - 10:41 pm)
*Runs up and looks around hurriedly* Are we too late already? Can we still join?
Well, I don't know what spots are open now. But let's fill out our forms just in case. I love acting, it is a fabulous activity.
Name: Quill
Gender: Female
Age: Ageless, but looks around 16
Appearance: I'll post a pic
Personality: Proper, hates "intolerable actions", loves grammar, vocabulary, reading, and the arts, more nice once you get to know her, but only keeps a few close friends and is not very social.
What part do you want?: (if someone has already taken the part you wanted, please choose another) Can I please have any acting position that is left open?
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10) 10, Quill, being very proper and art/english focused, has had a lot of experience with acting, especially in Shakespeare.
Other: Again, my apologies if we came to late.
Name: Zeon
Gender: Male
Age: #Ageless, but looks around 16, Quill's twin
Appearance: I will post a pic
Personality: Huge on gaming, surfing, YouTube, and chips. He also is bringing up a new interest in acoustic guitar. He is extremely social and friendly, calls everyone his "bro", and holds extremely true to the one person he cares for. He can also turn into a literal bug at times, but that is extremely rare.
What part do you want?: (if someone has already taken the part you wanted, please choose another) Anything would be sweet, if I could have an acting spot that would be nice too.
Acting abilities: (rate from 1-10) 7 or 8, he gets a lot of it from Quill, but is better for more energetic positions
Other: Sorry we are late in joining, Ash didn't sign us up yesterday

(December 28, 2016 - 3:39 pm)
UUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH--
Sssh!
GGGGHH--
You're such a drama queen! There's nothing wrong with getting another audition.
What, you'd like to put my Shakespearean skills to use on a silent forest animal? There's no mystique! No drama! No need for subtlety in that role.
There's no need for subletly in the wolf's role.
But there was more EMOTION!
Well, do you want to be in this play or not?
Not. What's the point if there isn't enough roles to allow any cognitive and authoritative AE to act out their best?
Quill will probably be in it too, you know.
...what spots are even left?
Um, no main ones. Or any, really. You could be a set director!
*mutters* The first AE play, and I'm not even to score the antagonist's spot... yes, fine. Building it easy enough for me anyways, with my telekinesis--I suppose I'll have to use my keen eye on the creation of the set and all its endeavours. I do rather enjoy design... so sign me up for set manager.
Okay, what about you, 8?
O-oh. If I can't be the manager, how about just working in lights? One person can't run the whole booth. Mellie's a great person anyways--I'd be happy to work with her!
Alright! As long as Leafpool gives the okay, you'll be good in those spots. Personally, I'm excited for a play. I just love theatre!
Alas, so do I, yet it wasn't enough to claim my true role.
(Who's playing that sad violin music? And where did the spotlight come from?)
*dramatically poses*
