This roleplay has been running since mid 2009, though it was then located at another messageboard. However, due to a rather casual pace, we haven't yet gotten very far into the game; we started roleplaying the launch party, set on the evening before the first official day of the festival. When moving to this new board, we started on Day #1 of the festival.
Still, as a few things worth mentioning have happened so far, we've decided to include a brief synopsis here, which we aim to keep fairly up to date, for those interested in reading up on the events that have taken us to where we currently are.
For simplicity's sake, the synopsis will be divided into two different parts; general and characters, where "general" covers - you guessed it - the more general plotlines, while the "characters" part will give a brief summary of what's happened in each character's life so far, on a more personal level.
General:
* On the evening before the first official day of the festival, there was a launch party for those who had already arrived - performers as well as staff and visitors - with a few amateur bands playing on the demo stage. The bigger stages however were still closed off.
* Deus Ex Machina, Tears of Andromeda, Black Water, Nocturne and Damage were among the bands who participated in the partying, though most of them kept to the VIP Lounge and the rest of the backstage area in general.
Characters (in alphabetical order):
Aaron Hoyer:
New character, has just been introduced in the game.
Asher Kingsley:
New character, has just been introduced in the game.
Daniel de Vere:
Dominic de Vere's younger brother. With Day #2 of the festival being his birthday, his and Dominic's parents bought him a ticket for the festival - his very first one - as a birthday present, although on the condition that he went with someone a little older and more responsible than his friends. That person ended up being Lara Abbott, his brother's girlfriend. They arrived during the afternoon on the day before the festival, and after setting up camp went to look for Dominic, in order to surprise him. That, they did, as they discovered he was getting cosy with a random girl, which came as a shock to both Daniel and Lara, not to mention Dominic himself. Dominic then left Daniel in the company of his band mate Lavinia in order to sort things out with Lara. Daniel and Lavinia hung out for pretty much the rest of the evening, and also ran into Asher's little sister Kendra. Towards the end of the night, Daniel parted ways with the two girls, and went back to the tent, where he slept alone, figuring Lara and Dominic were still sorting things out.
Dominic de Vere:
Coming soon.
Emily Moore:
New character, has just been introduced in the game.
Kendra Kingsley:
Coming soon.
Lara Abbott:
Lara came to Syrinx to be with her boyfriend, Dominic de Vere and keep an eye on his younger brother Danny, as well as enjoy the festival. Unfortunately, the first time she set eyes on Dominic he happened to be entangled in the arms of a most persuasive groupie, thus confirming beyond doubt all those various rumours and suspicions regarding his fidelity. The couple retreated to the tourbus to talk things over and although for a while things were looking up, Lara found herself unable to ignore her feelings of hurt and betrayal, and ended up leaving...both the bus and Dominic still cuffed to the bunk where they'd been making out. She came across her friend Rio Adams to whom she confessed about Dominic's indiscretions as well as her strong suspicion that she might be pregnant, kissing him in a moment of emotional upheaval. Later she apologized and decided to seek Dominic out in order to truly resolve their issues, not to mention find out whether she truly was pregnant. The couple had a long and down to earth conversation, deciding to give their 6 year old relationship another try, especially since, as it turned out, they really were going to become parents.
Lavinia Sinclair:
Lavinia was looking forward to rocking out at Syrinx, but before that was one more night's party in the VIP lounge which she'd wanted to enjoy together with her friends and bandmates. There have been new acquaintances, too, like Dominic's brother Danny and a young man known as Rio Vance...who approached her with a most unexpected claim: that they shared a father. Lavinia, who holds no particularly tender feelings towards the man who abandoned her before she was even born, didn't take the news very well, but nevertheless decided to establish a relationship with her brother. Lavinia and Danny were the ones who discovered and released Dominic from the cuffs Lara had used to tether him to his bunk, and the trio were soon joined by a young blonde girl by the name of Kendra who seemed to know their bandmate, Asher Kingsley rather well. It was only later that it became apparent that Kendra was the sister Asher had never seen fit to mention...
Overnight, Lavinia hooked up with Arnold Freidman, lead singer of Damage, with whom she had been flirting earlier in the lounge as well as in the past.
Reese Lovera:
New character, has just been introduced in the game.
Rio Adams:
Rio arrived to the Syrinx festival in time for the launch party, along with his boyfriend, Brad Dreyer, and the rest of the band Brad is in; Tears of Andromeda. For Rio, it was a chance to spend some time with his touring boyfriend, and it was also the chance to meet the person he had come to suspect was his half-sister, abandoned by his father before she had even been born; Lavinia Sinclair, of the band Deaus Ex Machina. As fate would have it, he and Brad ran into Lavinia during the launch party in the V.I.P. Lounge, and Rio eventually got a chance to talk to Lavinia one-on-one. After tiptoeing around the subject for a bit, he finally told her that he thought they were related, and how. He also provided the proof he had found, in the form of a childhood picture of Lavinia, sent by Lavinia's mother to Rio's father, with a short letter attached. At first, Lavinia didn't take the news very well, but after being given a little while to get past the initial shock, she and Rio parted ways on fairly friendly terms, to allow them both a chance to digest what the evening had revealed, and with an agreement of meeting up some other time, to talk.
After the encounter with Lavinia, Rio then ran into his good friend Lara, who had just discovered that her boyfriend of six years had been cheating on her, and although still overwhelmed with what he had just been through himself, gladly accepted the distraction of offering support and understanding to a friend.
