Plot
Melody is the sweet sound that you hear each morning, whether it be chiming from the radio or the sounds of the birds chirping or the sweep of a broom or the water drops of the rain. Melody is the word describing the mood, whether you are somber and sad or wistful and happy. Melody is what makes this country the way it is. For the longest time, war has been going on between this country and other countries. It is said that the main warrior that fought for this country had did it playing the melody of all instruments as his weapon. Then, out of nowhere, he disappeared; no where to be found. His only words were, “You shall find peace in music.”
Because of his legendary battle tactics, many years later, those who admired his skills tried to copy them-eventually finding a new way to fight by tapping into their chi. Because of this, war around the country and war in the country itself was evident. By the first king, it was decided that once he and those who descended from him past away, there will be a competition held-one that would decide who the new king was. Yet few asked themselves: would war among the people really solve war among the countries?
Information
The day that certain beings hit puberty, they are able to tap into all of their magic at once, yet only by instrument. Depending on their magical aura, the piece of music they play, and their instrument, they are able to mess with mother nature and descend into any battle move they have depending on the piece of music. Once they win a battle against their opponent, any tattoo of music that was imprinted among the loser's skin will appear somewhere on the winner's body, yet the music will not always be together. The competition is based on how many tattoos you get on your body and how many of the war music you memorize. It is said that the war music is one of the most powerful of all of the musical pieces and learning even just one could bring death to a room full of people.
Characters
Name: Pianni
Gender: Female
Weapon: Flute and Piccolo
Element: Water
Age: 14
Personality: Bubbly. Bouncy. Resilient. What doesn't describe her? Pianni is the giggly type of girl who's always optimistic. If you push her, she'll note the obvious of it and get back up, giggling and blame it on herself by calling her clumsy. If you insult her, she'll babble on and on, agreeing with you... sort of. She'll say she sometimes can be, then compare it with one of her many friends. She's one of those people you can't bring down, no matter what. The only thing that will get to her is if someone insults Forte, and when that happens, she'll pout, throwing insults back. If she's gone through a serious battle, bruised, battered, and bloodied, she'll smile whether she wins or loses, sticking her tongue out saying, “Whoopsie~”
Past: Out of the twins, Pianni is the youngest. Since they were little, even though she was the youngest, she had often been the one that everyone paid attention to most. Because of that, she hated being a “prodigy” and tries to act indifferently to it, as if she weren't one. She and her brother have had an on-going rivalry, leading back to since they were young. It's only gotten worse because of the battle to be king.
Name: Forte
Gender: Male
Weapon: Flute and Piano
Element: Ice
Age: 14
Personality: Cold. Solid. When he talks, he sends chills down your spine. Forte is both confident and arrogant, having every right to be. He is the best of the best in both Flute and Piano, playing music that can mess with your emotions. His own phrase is, “If it isn't worth catching, don't even try.” and claims that unless he sees them as a competitor, he'll be blind to them. The only thing that grinds Forte to no end is that his sister is completely better than him in any way and doesn't care. As soon as he sees his sister acing something with ease that takes him days to complete, he gets from being Mr. Perfect to hot-tempered, loud, and obnoxious. He completely hates his sister, despising her to no end. Unadmittingly, if she doesn't pay attention to him even in the slightest and is off with some other guy, he gets very envious and protective.
Past: Ever since they were little, the comments he got were, “Magnificent.” “Radiant.” “Sublime.” what his sister got though, was, “Gorgeous.” “Beautiful.” “Wistful.” Their musical talent has always been compared to each other and had been confirmed that Pianni was the greater of the two, even if she didn't acknowledge it herself. He's utterly jealous because he had started out playing the flute and piano before his own sister, but only a month into his lessons, Pianni interfered, picking up his flute and playing the musi
c he had struggled so hard with. Even at that age, her abilities started kicking in. Their rivalry has been sickingly strong, which pulled both brother and sister against each other through this competition.
Name: Accent
Gender: Male
Weapon: Trumpet
Element: Earth
Age: 17
Personality: Loud, obnoxious, and mostly happy. Ever since he was little, he's had an imagination, giving the weirdest ideas and twisting whatever logical thing a person said to something illogical. (ex: “Polar bears come from Antarctica.” “I had an Ant named Artic. 'cept I stepped on her by accident. I think she was pregnant...”) He is far from being down to earth, and is honest with whatever he says. Unfortunately, that never has a positive effect. If someone likes what he said, they'll smile and give him a big hug while if he said something insulting, they'll kick him harshly, leaving him wondering, “What'd I do?”
Past: Accent grew up as an acrobat in a circus. Most of the times, he's always zoned out, even at the wackiest of performances and actually made the performances even weirder. He wonders where he is at some times, but he always lands on his feet, keeping balanced with the earth. When they were much younger, the other carnies wondered how Accent had become so lucky. As they found out he was “cheating”, they kicked him out of the circus, which caused a domino effect that landed him in the competition for the battle to become king.
Name: Alia
Gender: Female
Weapon: French Horn
Element: Air
Age: 12
Personality: Blunt, quick-witted, and hotheaded. Because she is the youngest of everyone, she fears that she brings everyone down and tries to prove herself worthy of anything that comes to her. Still, she proves herself to be helpful in any way that she's needed, often being a work maniac. She says that being called a kid really angers her, to the point where she yells and demands an apology. Although told all of this, she's easily breakable, turning into a crybaby immediately. She hates Accent's guts, complaining he “ruins her image.”
Past: Alia comes from a family with three older, successful sisters. They often look down on her, calling her personality a “tomboy phase” before shrugging her off again. They honestly say she'd be the most beautiful of the family if she stopped playing, “petty boy games” and payed more attention to her looks. Getting fed up with her family's immaturity, she decided she hated the way things were now and declared she'd show there were more than just one ways to have fame and fortune, including to battle.
