DOLCE [dubbed as ??? for now] is five-membered [subject to change] girlgroup speculated to soon debut under SM Entertainment. The group, however, won't be debuting any time soon but instead, they will be active on sns such as youtube and instagram; filming and vlogging their daily lives, training seesions and having their names and faces put out there - in order to gain publicity and the like. Think of it as the whole ordeal with SMROOKIES except only revolving around that specific group of female trainees [chosen applicants] rather than the whole of SMROOKIES. And also, SM Entertainment is just using the group to test the waters - depending on the kind of response and feedback that they recieves, SM Entertainment might just sweep this group under the rug.

 

Faceclaims can be anyone of your choice. I recommend avoiding female artists from SM Entertainment just because [it's weird to have the same face as your senior and labelmate? Unless theres a logical explanation like the two are twins or something] I won't have a character so there aren't any female idols faces that are taken. Rejoice
 

There isn't any age limit. Try not to go younger than 00-liner though
 

There also isn't any set positions as of yet. You only need to have a talent twin, that of which, reflects the talent [strengths and weakness] of your character. Please keep in mind that you can only have one talent twin and that your character does not have to be good at everything. If your character was accepted as a trainee through her rapping skills, and you made Baek Yerin her talent twin, I might throw you into the BBQ
 

For ethnicities, as long as your they are of asian descent, it doesn't matter. We're good
 

Love interests can be anyone of your choice but I'd like to recommend SM artists and trainees as love interests just because it's more likely for friendships and relationships to bud - as the chances of meeting and already being acquainted with someone from the same label as you is higher than with someone from a different label esp, if there aren't any existing connections to that certain person/group - or so I'd like to assume. It's entirely up to you though, and while I at romance, I will try to do my best to see the romance [and fluff and angst] through if that is what you wish for. I'm a er for the classic tropes such as childhood friends, love-hate, hate-hate, notice me senpai and so on and so forth, so come at me! And before I forget, Yuri is allowed! And also, having a love interest is completely optional
 

And that's a wrap. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, do tell me! Also, idol relatives are allowed as long as it is plausible. You can also apply as many times as you want but remember that doing so will not mean that all your characters will be chosen nor will it raise the chances of being chosen overall. If I like them and they give me inspiration, they're in. That's all there is to it

 

Overall, this is a light hearted slice of life with elements of comedy, angst and romance. Themes such as personal growth and the development of relationships, be it romantic or platonic, will be laced into the story as well, or at least, it will be attempted to be incorporated with the best of my ability. I hope I can execute this story well and that this will be one hell of a rollercoaster ride for all of you lovely readers. If you're here to apply, good luck friend! I look forward to seeing your app :^)
