At Hoshikawa Academy, an elite school of arts and excellence where privilege and ambition collide, two rival bands, Crimson Cascade (a brooding pop-rock group) and Mirage (an energetic J-POP quartet), dominate the campus music scene. Both groups are thrust into the spotlight when the academy’s most famous alumnus, a legendary artist, announces a high-stakes competition to close their retirement from the industry: the winning group will receive a record deal, mentorship, and a chance at stardom.

Currency System ❁
Hoshikawa Academy Currency System: Yen, Jobs, and Payments
At Hoshikawa Academy, students manage their finances through a simulated online banking system where they earn and spend yen. Students who are bandmembers can receive weekly allowances for being in a band and students not in a band or in a band bi-weekly paychecks for working certain jobs around or outside the school. Here’s how the system works:
CONVERSION RATE: ¥1,000 = 6.6 USD.
Weekly Allowance (For Band Members)
| Band Ranking | Weekly Allowance | Bonus (Top Band) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Place (Top Band) | ¥25,000 (≈ $165 USD) | +¥5,000 (≈ $33 USD) |
| 2nd Place | ¥18,000 (≈ $119 USD) | +¥2,000 (≈ $13 USD) |
- Top Band Bonus: Every week, the winning band will receive an additional ¥5,000 as an incentive to maintain their status. The 2nd place band will still receive a smaller bonus, but their pay is less.
Available Jobs for Students (Non-Band Members or Extra Income)
Students can also earn additional money through part-time jobs. These jobs range from low-paying to higher-paying opportunities based on the skill level and experience of the student.
Job List & Pay Rates:
NOTE: For the Bank, you will need to sign up as your “character name,” and create a pin and put your character name and pin your sign up sheet, You then be added as a customer for the bank, You don’t have to do this for every character just one! I’ll split up payments on my end, Also this is not a real bank lol.
Life System ❁
Hoshikawa Academy Life System
Basic Needs:
- Hunger (
) - Thirst (
) - Energy (
) - Hygiene (
) - Mental Health (
)
1. Hunger ()
- How it works: Characters will need to eat regularly to maintain their energy and overall well-being. Eating meals or snacks boosts the Hunger meter.
- Low Hunger Effects: When the hunger meter reaches a low level, the character may become irritable, tired, or less productive in their activities.
- Eating Locations:
- Cafeteria: Students can eat basic meals at school.
- Local Restaurants & Cafes: More expensive meals to satisfy hunger quickly.
- Snacks/Convenience Stores: Cheap, quick snacks to maintain energy.
- Room: Students can also have instant meals or snacks like ramen in their dorms.
2. Thirst ()
- How it works: Drinking water or other beverages is essential for hydration. Like hunger, thirst affects mood and productivity.
- Low Thirst Effects: Low hydration will cause fatigue, reduced energy, and potentially headaches.
- Drink Locations:
- Water Fountains: Free water available around campus.
- Cafes & Vending Machines: Offers drinks like soda, coffee, tea, and juices.
- Room: Students can keep water bottles or pre-made drinks in their rooms.
3. Energy ()
- How it works: Energy determines how much a character can do in a day. Resting and sleeping are essential for maintaining energy levels.
- Low Energy Effects: When energy is too low, the character may become sluggish, unproductive, and may fail in performances or jobs.
- Resting Locations:
- Dorm Rooms: The most common place to sleep.
- Library: A quiet place to nap (with a small energy boost).
- Cafeteria/Café: Sitting in a cafe can give a small boost of energy.
4. Hygiene ()
- How it works: Keeping clean is essential for your character’s health and social standing. Hygiene will affect social interactions and mood.
- Low Hygiene Effects: Poor hygiene can make your character smell bad, leading to negative social interactions. Over time, it can also impact mental health.
- Hygiene Locations:
- Showers in Dorms: Take a full shower to restore hygiene.
- Public Showers: Available in gym areas for quick fresh-ups.
- Restrooms: Can wash hands, brush teeth, and freshen up.
5. Mental Health ()
- How it works: Mental health is crucial in the high-pressure environment of Hoshikawa Academy. Stress from schoolwork, competition, and social dynamics can affect mental well-being.
- Low Mental Health Effects: Can lead to burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression. If neglected, it can cause a drop in performance and school reputation.
- Mental Health Management:
- Therapy Sessions: Characters can go to a counselor or take meditation classes.
- Relaxing Activities: Engaging in creative outlets (art, music), nature walks, or simply taking time for themselves.
- Relaxation Spots: Quiet areas or spots like the Zen Garden or Art Room help relax the mind.
How to Track Life Stats
In the RP, the Life System can be tracked through simple daily or weekly logs:
- Daily Life Updates: Players will need to update their characters’ life stats (hunger, energy, thirst, etc.) at the start of each RP day.
- Actions and Interaction: Players will take actions to fill needs (e.g., eating lunch, napping, or socializing) to maintain stats and prevent them from draining.
- Adjustments Based on Actions: Actions like working a job or practicing music will decrease or increase various needs.
Final Notes:
This Life System adds layers of realism to the RP and encourages players to keep their characters balanced between social, academic, and personal needs. Balancing these needs is crucial for a character’s success at Hoshikawa Academy, and it can drive interactions and events in the RP.
