Line #21 Roleplay/RainyReprise


1	Rainy Reprise is a roleplay group based on Discord and Twitter. It centers around Tenkyuu Academy, rain-plagued Top Idol School located on the coast of Japan. It was once revered as a powerhouse idol school, however over time, the school's reputation began to become overshadowed by other idol schools’ prosperity; this leads us to present day, where the school is considered to be on the chopping block due to its insatiable society's need for budget cuts.

6	!! ''Rainy Reprise'' provides examples of:
7	* AnimalMotif:
8	** Itsuki Yamato's animal is White Tiger.
9	** Suzumebachi (SZMBCH) as the group's motif is a Japanese Hornet, though each member has their own distinct insect assigned to them. (Akane's is the hornet, due to being the leader; Asahi's is a bee; Itsuki's is a wasp; and Naoki's is a scarab beetle.)
10	%% * AscendedFanboy: Momiji.
11	%% * CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Shigeru and Yuuto.
12	* CharacterDevelopment: Due to the fact that the group's plot takes place over the course of the characters' high school years, the students go through various forms of character development as they are put through their unit and personal arcs.
13	* ChildhoodFriends: Kazuya and Myun were close friends when they were little, though they wouldn't consider themselves friends in present day.
14	* ChromosomeCasting: All of the idols are boys, due to the fact that the Idol Course is male only at Tenkyuu.
15	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: All of the students at Tenkyuu Academy have ties with stripes of color that denote what year they're in. Blue for first years, red for second years, and pure white for third years. This could also apply to the Units themselves, with Roulette being red, Lyra being blue, Suzumebachi being yellow, and Fenrir being purple.
16	* DarkSecret: Naoki Ishikawa. [[spoiler:The fact that he was part of Fenrir, though as of the Halloween OCT that’s been exposed. He’s still trying to keep the secret of Fenrir’s repeated sabotage from the rest of SZMBCH currently, however.]]
17	* DebutQueue: The way in which the units were introduced, with their own introductory RP sessions that brought the characters together to join or form their units.
18	* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler: Itsuki Yamato. According to Itsuki's pageant speech in Okinawa, his dad laundered money and is on the run.]]
19	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Kaede and Naoki, which actually becomes a plot point when they're mistakenly dragged into a beauty pageant.
20	* FanService: Shows up occasionally during events or lives, due to the nature of being an idol and having to please fans.
21	* GentleGiant: Masamune Sato. He's very tall and muscular, but also very gentle. Loves all of his students and refers to them as his "precious students."
22	* GraduateFromTheStory: What happens when the third years have to graduate and move on.
23	* IdolSinger: The premise of the group. All of the characters are high school students part of the Idol Course of Tenkyuu Academy, with the goal of eventually becoming idols signed onto agencies once they graduate.
24	%% * LonelyRichKid: Quite a few of the more upperclass characters; Fujio, Naoki, and Silver all fit the bill.
25	%% * MeaningfulName: Many of the characters have names with thematic or hidden meaning.
26	* MrFanservice: Shigeru Kazama. Generally just Does It For The Fans with sexy. Ended up doing this after Myun “accidentally” spilled shaved ice on him and Shigeru took off his shirt. Also sent Kiyo a poster of himself at a pool.
27	* OneGenderSchool: Not the school itself, but the Idol Course that all of the characters are part of. The Idol Course is a male only course with the focus being on training its students to become proper idols, while there is a General Course for regular students that is co-ed.
