[Ryria]

❀ ||〙Music is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart〘||❀

The Harps of Cassiopeia, or more simply known as 'The Maestro Guild', is a society of musicians and performers who's passion is to entertain the masses.

The Guild was formed recently by the young songstress Sierra de Palma to bring all performers together, whether they have a musical skill or the talent of acting. The Guild is welcoming to all creative minds, be they a playwright, songwriter, a musician of any kind, or an actor with an inclination for the operatic.

The Guild has a plethora of activities and goals in mind that it would like to meet, the first task on the agenda is to gather a healthy amount of members to then host consistent and reoccurring concerts and events.
​

❀ ||〙Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, and flight to the imagination. 〘||❀

❀ ||〙The Maestro Director. - Sierra de Palma. @Ryria
The Maestro Director is a locked-down position to Sierra de Palma, the woman who created the society. It is her responsibility to oversee the activity of the guild and make sure that it's lively and consistent. She organises the majority of the events that the guild will perform at and sets up performance opportunities for the musicians at various noble events. She makes her way through the various applicants to the guild and has the right to accept or remove any member at any time.

❀ ||〙The Theatre Director. - Currently vacant, must be earned through roleplay.
The Theatre Director is in charge of all things related to acting, playwriting, and making sure that there is at least one play per month. As the Director, they have a very influential hand in the genre of shows which are produced. The position will be given once the Guild Director is satisfied and impressed with the activity of one of the actors (or playwrights).

❀ ||〙The Cassiopeia Lyricist. - Currently vacant, must be earned through roleplay.
The Cassiopeia Lyricist is a position given to an avid singer and musician who frequently writes their music, either for their personal use or for the guild itself to use in future performances. The position is given once the Guild Director is impressed and satisfied with the activity of a particular performer, and will be offered as a reward.

❀ ||〙The Cassiopeia Musicians and Performers. - There is no limit to this position and anyone may apply for it.
This position in the guild is for any actors, musicians, singers, lyricists, playwrights, etc. Anyone may apply for it, and it is the standard rank in the guild. Depending on how many musical arts skill is invested in your character, you will be given unique performing opportunities.

While also performing at events and hosting plays, the Maestro Guild offers private tutelage to any hopeful musicians out there. If you're interested in being taught in vocals, piano, the harp, lute, or any other instrument, send a private letter to the Maestro Director, Sierra de Palma.​

If you require a healthy handful of performers at your event, this is the perfect opportunity to garner some. Pen a letter to the Maestro Director, Sierra de Palma, and she will hand-select skilled musicians to perform at your event.

❀ ||〙Character Name:

Atticus Faulkner​

❀ ||〙Character Application and Discord:

The Piano Man | Jovee#5444​

❀ ||〙How many points do you have invested?

[ 25 ] Musical Arts | Specializes in string instruments, vocals, and music theory.
[ 11 ] Dance Arts | Knows a few different styles, but focuses mainly on ballroom and a little tap.​

❀ ||〙What would your goal be in the guild? What would you hope to do and be apart of?:

[ IC ] Atticus yearns to get his name out there. He's been with a handful of different performance troupes, but none have really aided in progressing his musical career. Additionally, he feels that this might be an opportunity to legitimize his talents, possibly opening up doors with the noble patronage. They pay much more for lessons than the average commoner.
[ OOC ] I love music and it's really difficult to integrate it into every day RP beyond providing background ambience at the pub, or chatting about it in conversation. This seems hella neat and I wanna be a part of it! Plus, I don't really get to use my +25 expert music knowledge all that frequently, either.~​

❀ ||〙Please include a short IC letter addressed to Sierra de Palma.

[ The handwriting wasn't terribly impressive, but Atty made up for it with a bunch of multi-syllabled words. He used candle wax to seal the envelope. ]

To the remarkably talented Sierra de Palma:

It is a pleasure to write you with concerns of yet another musical endeavor. Your passion for spreading culture to all ends of the holy city are both commendable and refreshing! I'd be honored to lend a hand in this pursuit, if you'll have me. Needless to say, I hope that I left a positive impression after my performance at the Entertainer's Ball and that I also hear back from you soon!​

Kindest regards,
​

Mister Atticus Faulkner,

A familiar name with which I remember so much talent being tied to! It would be my pleasure to accept you into the guild as an entertainer, and I hope that by doing so I'll be able to open many opportunistic doors for you. Hopefully, you'll be able to further improve with your craft and teach others the joy of music. I look forwards to working with you, and I hope we can further pursue creative endeavours when it comes to entertainment.

Sincerely, wishing you all the best,

❀ ||〙Name: Nyxio Dalinsci
❀ ||〙Application / Discord: Application / kato#8816
❀ ||〙Points:
✻+22 Literary Arts (Mainly for tutoring literature academics, but has history with improv pieces.)
✻+10 Musical Arts (Primarily plays the violin, but is also learning the lyre.)

❀ ||〙Goals: Nyx fondly enjoyed the memories he had with his cousins performing in El Puerto Azul. However, ever since he moved to Regalia, he found the hobby turned into great common ground for those he sometimes interacted with. After several encounters with fine musical folk, including Sierra herself, Nyx decided that perhaps he'll consider allowing himself this outlet. Eventually, Nyx sought to write to Sierra as to how he can join / participate.
(Also, this sounds pretty awesome! I definitely think this can bring some great flavor into Regalia.)

❀ ||〙Letter:
[The letter was in exquisite calligraphy, sealed in a white envelope and maroon wax stamp.]

Dearest Sierra de Palma,

I write to you in hopes of joining your recently founded performing guild. From your initial discussion of this guild back at Nadie's Restaurant, I haven't put much thought into such an idea until recently. After some wonderful encounters with talented groups and individuals, I decided to pursue The Maestro Guild with utmost commitment. If you may accept me, I plan to grow alongside your group with my violin, lyre, and literacy talents as well as provide a sense of joy and wonder to those that we may entertain. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

To the well-dressed Madam Sierra de Palma,

It seems to be a terrible misfortune that the sole guild in town that matches what I was searching for upon coming here is lead by the only person in this city that I've made a truly awful first impression on.

Whilst my passion lays with poems, work is so scarce I've a short lifetime of experience in writing songs, plays, and extremely boring letters for old, rich men. I hope very dearly for the opportunity to show off my work to you first-hand, and more importantly make up for our misunderstanding at the diet. Don't worry -- I can wear something less dreary.

With my greatest admiration, and sincerest apologies,
Laurent Alexandre d'Andalon.
