Rules:
No one is perfect. Give them flaws. Not every Cheerio is a bitch and not every gay guy is flamboyant. Make the characters diverse and interesting. Give them a bit of depth. I do want some LGBT characters.
If the 15, don't choose a 30 year old to be their look-a-like. Make it realistic and believable. The characters need to be based on the Look-a-likes current appearance i.e. not Zac Efron circa HSM or Lindsay Lohan circa Mean Girls. Look-a-likes are required for the Tumblr dedicated to this.
No one submit Let It Go as a song for your characters to sing, as it will be a performance done at a competition down the line. Even though I'm asking for songs to be submitted, this isn't the only songs that are going to be done, as some of the songs may not be relevant to the story and I may think of one that they could sing(so they might get a lot more solos/duets)
Everyone can submit as many characters as they want. It is not a first come first serve type of thing, only the best will be selected. Submit by PM Only. Any submitted by Review, no matter how good they are, will not be accepted! You can also submit characters for other schools(Dalton, Carmel etc.)
