As promised, here’s an admin update post. This addresses several topics you all probably knew were coming and might have been waiting for the answers on, as well as some other topics, additions, and changes! Please take your time to read this thoroughly, and thanks again for four years of Famed! There’s a lot here, so take your time reading it.

URL change

The main blog’s URL has changed to famedroleplay. Some links are still being updated, but if you notice anything still links back incorrectly after a week or so, please do let me know!

Faceclaims

After hearing out the opinion of everyone who shared theirs regarding banning faceclaims involved in bullying scandals and taking that into consideration, face claims will be banned if they are linked to outside crimes or severe such as sexual assault, molka, or bullying in connection to suicide / suicide attempts. This means the initial ban on actor Kim Jisoo and April members Kim Chaewon, Lee Naeun, Yang Yena, Lee Jinsol, and and ex-member Jeon Somin remain in tact.

Bullying allegations not linked to these outside factors will still be grounds for someone to be allowed to ask to change a faceclaim before their faceclaim change waiting period is up, though, if they are uncomfortable continuing to use a faceclaim because of bullying allegations. If a faceclaim leaves the industry and/or removes themselves from the public eye for the foreseeable future for any reason, they are also still unusable, but this rule was already in place.

As for how this will affect parts of the roleplay other than faceclaims, please see the section further down about Element. Two April songs (”Oh My Mistake!” and “Love Clock”) were previously used for the first season of base’s COLLA3ORATE. These will be retroactively replaced with Elris’s “Jackpot” and “Like I Do” respectively, but if you had a muse involved in “Oh My Mistake” and would prefer to remove them from COLLA3ORATE season one entirely, just message me and they will be removed. I assigned the lines trying to match the positions and line distributions up similarly, but if your muse was involved and you’d like to keep them in “Jackpot” but want to switch to an untaken position, you’re welcome to request that as well. Otherwise, any references to that can simply use those songs instead now.

Element update

Due to the recent allegations involving Somin, a major revamp of Element has had to be conducted. After discussing the situation with the current muns of the group, the past model discography of Element has been replaced using Checkmate, K-Tigers Zero, and Lucky J, and they will be making their final comeback on April 12. After those promotions end, Element will be disbanded and the members will re-debut later in the year in a boy group, Quicksilver, with model groups of Ateez and Treasure and a girl group, Marigold, with model groups of BVNDIT and Melody Day with two new members each. The Element spots have been reopened, but the new positions in the new groups won’t be opened until after Element have finished promoting. This will be a major plotline for the roleplay and Gold Star in particular so expect to see it brought up in schedules and in some articles on the Exclusive blog as the storyline unfolds.

The new debuts in Quicksilver and Marigold will be available on May 13.

Fuse’s model discography update

Thanks to everyone’s suggestions, I was able to find two groups to add to Fuse’s model discography that I felt could align with their sound, direction, storyline, and positions enough to be happy with for now. These groups are Cherry Bullet and Weki Meki. The updated line distribution can be found on Fuse’s page.

There are other groups I’m looking into adding onto the model discographies of, but Fuse was the most urgent, so they’re the only official update I have today!

Canon soloists

Ultimately, after the poll, more people voted to remove canon soloists than to keep them, and they are officially being removed from the roleplay.

Those discographies previously used for the soloists will begin to be open for points claims at midnight/12AM EDT on April 12.

With the removal of canon soloists, the plan is to allow a solo music career to become a more prominent claiming option, and there are plans for some additional claim options to become available in relation to such a career, but those will be added and addressed at a later time.

As for storylines linked to some of the soloists, this is how those will be retconned:

BC Soloist 1: Instead of BC signing and debuting a known Gold Star trainee, BC hired a high profile creative director from Gold Star known from working with Gold Star since their inception and had worked on some of their most defining comebacks and announced she would be taking over as one of the company’s main creative directors. She has since worked on conceptualizing several group’s comeback as well as most heavily on Chroma’s pre-debut project.

Dimensions Soloist 3: Instead of Dimensions buying out a small and brand new company created by a crew of popular music producers with one soloist who they transferred to their label, in early 2020, Dimensions bought out a music production company that was created by a top music production team with several rising producers signed with them and made the producers in-house producers for Dimensions. Since then, the new producers have helped to produce several hit Dimensions songs since.

While Gold Star Soloist 1 no longer exists as an IU stand-in, Gold Star still had an incredibly popular and loved NPC soloist as one of their first artists that helped give their name prominence. At the beginning of 2021, she announced her departure from the agency to create her own label, citing her reasoning as feeling she needed a more focused environment than Gold Star’s growth could provide. There are rumors she was alluding to dissatisfaction with Gold Star’s recent management and gossip that Gold Star was pushing for her to pursue activities in overseas markets she wasn’t interested in.

Anyone who had a feature or MV appearance claim on a soloist can contact me and let me know whether they’d like to just drop the claim (and, if a points claim, recollect those points), keep it as a claim in an unspecified work, or try to replace it with something else. The following muses had claims this applies to:

Features:

Cha Kyonghwa (Kami) (app claim) Kang Sunghee (app claim) Park Jaewon (points claim, 10 points) dropped! Choi Joosung (Sun) (points claim, 10 points) Moon Chaeyeon (Dita) (app claim) Park Duri (points claim, 10 points) kept as unspecified!

MV appearances:

Kim Kyongmin (Alice) (app claim) Ryu Jaein (points claim, 5 points) dropped! Seo Minjung (points claim, 10 points) points reclaimed! Moon Chaeyeon (Dita) (app claim)

Points shop updates

There have been a few updates to the points shop!

Firstly, the nation’s title claim checklist now requires a headcanon on the muse’s image and how it relates to their claims and career to be completed. This is just so I can see a mun’s own intentions for how everything ties in with their image. This headcanon shouldn’t focus on the title itself since that isn’t ever guaranteed for approval, but the muse’s general image as the mun has shaped it. The viral moment requirement for a nation’s title is now also specified to need to relate to the image involved in the desired title.

In the wake of canon soloists being removed, I’m planning on being a little more strict regarding music claims aligning well with positions.This applies to both individual songs and whole discographies. Still, the intent is to be reasonable. Chungha having a rap-like verse in “Bicycle” won’t require someone to have a rap position to claim it since it’s not a lot of the song and she’s not known as a rapper, but I also wouldn’t approve a muse whose most prominent position is main rapper or a main dancer making their entire discography IU releases since IU is primarily a singing-focused artist.

There used to be a rule requiring that muns seek admin approval before claiming songs written by deceased artists, but that rule has now been removed. Keep it respectful, though, please. If any issue arises with muns breaking the fourth wall in relation to these songs to be disrespectful about a real person’s passing, that claim may be revoked and the rule may be reinstated. Songs performed by deceased artists still cannot be claimed.

There’s also a new claim available — a YouTube variety show or talk show. Please see the variety page for examples and more information, but note that this is separate from both a reality show claim. I’ve tried to specify the difference, but if you’re ever unsure which one what you want to claim would fit into, feel free to ask! Both will now be uploaded in-’verse to base’s Youtube Channel. Likewise, there has been a small change so that future radio show claims are now through base Radio, a radio streaming application (think Naver Now).

Company building pages + Pinterest

I’m currently working on pages that give more detail on the layout of the company headquarters. They aren’t quite finished yet, but I have created a Famed Pinterest account for those of you who find more muse visually or who are into visual worldbuilding! One of the sections on the boards there gives a rough idea of company building visuals. There are group concept boards as well, so if you’re struggling to decide where your muse might fit, looking at those might help you if you’re more of a visual person. No one is required to follow it and I won’t be answering messages or anything of the sort there, but I thought it might be a helpful way to visually convey locations and concepts! I’ll make a small post to let everyone know when the pages with in-depth information on the company buildings is available.

Activity rules updates

I mentioned there’d be a few more touch-ups to the activity rules to fill in loopholes that have been around a while, so here they are.

- There is now a formal hiatus request form that must be submitted to request a hiatus. Simply sending the main an IM that you want a hiatus will no longer qualify as a valid request and it will not be processed.

- There will no longer be a week-long grace period after a hiatus ends. You are responsible for being active for the next activity check after your hiatus ends.

- The maximum length of a hiatus is now three weeks (and the minimum one week). The initial hiatus request maximum is still two weeks with one week extensions, but extensions may not be stacked to exceed three weeks total without a passed activity check in between. If you can’t be around for a longer period of time, it might be best to rejoin at a later time when you’re more available! In total, a mun is allotted a maximum of four weeks of hiatus over any twelve week period.

- If a muse reaches three activity warnings in a month, they will be automatically moved to the unfollow list on their third warning instead. If a muse is removed and refollowed three times over the course of six months, they will not be able to be re-followed again and will have to re-apply.

New points opportunity

As of this post going up, muses may now collect one point for every first closed thread with a new muse after it has reached ten posts. This will no longer only apply during events and the ten post requirement is new. Members should be interacting with new muses all the time, not just during events, so it felt right to adjust this accordingly. This applies only to threads started after this post goes up.

Chroma

As schedules have been made quarterly, all remaining Chroma roles will be made available for reserves and applications in at midnight/12AM EDT on April 12.

Suggestions + Feedback

I want to end off this post by reminding everyone that I’m always taking suggestions for events, tasks, etc! I plan on opening an official suggestion submission blog at some point down the line, but I’m happy to take suggestions through the ask box or submit if you have any. I’m also open to feedback as well. If you do send in either of these things, please specify if you’d like a reply from me, since sometimes I might be naturally inclined to keep a message simply giving a suggestion or idea without any questions instead of responding to it.

Thanks for reading this very long update! There are more additions to the roleplay in the works, some I’ve hinted at here and some I’ve not, but I hope Famed’s fifth year is able to be its best one yet!

MINJUNG

all eyes were on hyunjin as he walked down the stairs with his eyes barely open. all of us were gathered on the couch after breakfast, watching variety shows on the television. and as usual, hyunjin was the last to wake up. so we paid no attention to him as he stumbled his way into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee.

"yubin is in the kitchen," felix told hyunjin. hyunjin only replied with a disconcerned grunt.

"tune in into our daily morning show of hyunjin and yubin fighting over nothing early in the morning," jisung said to those seated in the living room.

a minute has passed and there hasnt been shouting or any sound coming from the kitchen. all of us exchanged glances with each other. and all of a sudden all of us were scrambling to get to the kitchen.

the sight infront of us was extraordinary. neither of us believed it. hyunjin was seated at the kitchen counter with yubin opposite of him, eating breakfast. all of us frowned in confusion.

"ok what the fuc-" jisung broke the silence, only to be silenced by changbin and dragged away.

"lets not disturb them. let them try to get along." changbin said, letting go of jisung.

"no you dont get it. we are not the ones disturbing them. THEIR behaviour is the one disturbing us." jisung whisper-shouted.

" we can hear you jisung," yubin said from the kitchen.

"its not a bad thing that theyre getting along." chan said while walking up the stairs.

"meeting at third floor 10am later. nobody is to be late."

"wait,, thats in one minute." seungmin pointed out.

"oh shi-"

----------------------------------

YUBIN

and thats how we ended up in the conference room seated around the huge mahogany meeting table. hyunjin's mouth stuffed with toasted bread and me still holding my cup of coffee.

"gee thanks for the heads-up captain," i grumbled under my breath, while staring at chan.

chan carries on setting up his laptop, unbothered. when he turns around, an unfamilar map flashes on the projector screen. we all turn to minjung for the map analysis. i see minjung cock her eyebrow while scanning the map.

"h&h corps. hq? why?"

she points out after recognising the layout of the buildings. chan chuckles and the screen blacks out and shows an infrared video, probably from a cctv.

at first, there was nothing significant happening. just a few security guards on night guard duty, patrolling the compound. until we see several trucks entering the compound, only to leave the compound half an hour later.

"in these recent months, h&h corps. have been lying on the down low after their alleged money laundering lawsuit. but these trucks have been coming and going into the h&h hq in the middle of the night. plus their shares have been skyrocketing. yet the investigating team cant find any evidence of them doing shady business. dont you find anything about this fishy?" chan briefs us. silence falls over all of us as we ponder over the possiblities.

i sip my coffee and stare at the video replaying. until something in the video catches my eye. i walk to the front where the computer is and pause the video. intrigued, the members watched as i continue staring at the paused video, gears turning in my head.

"chan, i need a team of four to take with me. we set off tonight." i look at chan directly into his eyes.

chan seems to consider my outburst. he then nods ever so slightly and gestures to the members.

"take your pick."

---------------

"remember, dont attract unnecessary attention and watch out for the shadows." i emphasized as we crouched by the wall beside the guard house.

"you know yubin,, just in case you forgot,, you havent told us what on earth are those shadows." hyunjin turned to look at me.

"wait wheres jisung?"

i look around and i only see woojin, hyunjin with their backs plastered onto the walls. jisung's voice came through the earpiece.

"dont worry i will meet up with you guys after this."

i breathe out a sigh of relief. just then, i see movement in the dense forest infront of me. i squint and try to follow the moving figure. the figure was clad in black but i caught a flash of gold around the neck. the figure disappeared into the forest yet again.

"did you guys see that?" i asked the two guys beside me.

"see what?" woojin replied.

"nothing. nevermind." i shook my head.

just then, the gate opened and a line of eight trucks appeared around the corner. they all stopped before the gate and the security guards walk to each of the trucks with flashlights.

"now."

the three of us each get under different trucks. i grab the nooks and crannies of the engine on the underside of the truck, lifting myself off the the ground.

"ah fuck im getting tired already yubin. how is this a good idea." hyunjin whined through the earpiece.

before i could reply him, woojin snapped back at him, "suck it up hyunjin."

soon enough, the trucks started moving through the gates and into one of the buildings inside. the moment the trucks stopped, i released my hold and dropped onto the ground. footsteps were everywhere. i rolled away from the truck and ran towards the nearest crate.

there were easily a hundred men in the warehouse moving the crates into the eight trucks. the sides of the crates were stamped with some kind of symbol. it seemed way too familiar. i couldnt place my finger on it.

"yubin where are you? the trucks are moving off soon. we are outside the gates already." woojin's urgent voice snapped me out of my daze.

i shuffle my way along the huge crates, towards the gates. hearing some hushed voices speaking, i stop in my tracks and eavesdrop the conversation.

"tomorrow......6pm........kim.......gym" i scrunched my nose in confusion. i couldnt make out most of the words. the trucks were already fully loaded. i peeked around the corner of the crates, trying to take a look of how they look. i only saw a man in a suit back-facing me. as i tried to look for more distinct features. i see a tattoo on his neck. suddenly he turns around, i quickly fling myself back behind the crates. i sprint out of the warehouse and all the way to the fence at the side.

"guys, im outside, just over the fence. i need more information. i will find you later."

"wait where the fuck are you going?"

-------------

the time was about half past three midnight and it was pretty dark out. i scanned my surroundings and i was pretty sure i saw jisung in the bushes a few metres down the road.

my eyes wandered about in my dark surroundings and as my eyes landed on a big tree with huge overhanging branches. i smiled to myself and slowly made my way towards the tree as stealthily as i could. seungmin's voice came through the earpiece. the trucks were coming in my direction in five minutes. i quickly climbed the tree and positioned myself on a branch, hidden by the leaves.

just in time, the trucks appeared around the corner. i waited in anticipation and when the lights along the street went out, i thanked minjung secretly.

i let myself drop on top of the last truck. the intercom crackled.

"genius what were you thinking? you just alerted them to an ambush."

"shut up hwang. i dont need your bullshit now."

i gripped the side of the truck and swung my legs into the driver's seat, successfully kicking the driver in the face and knocking him out cold. gripping the steering wheel, i saw jisung on a motorcycle in the rearview mirror, being followed by two black vans. i cursed under my breath.

"jisung, you got a tail on your four and eight. im taking eight."

hyunjin appears behind the two vans and pulls out his pistol. jisung skillfully dodges the bullets that come flying past him.

before i could even look back to see what had happened, i was already back at the warehouse. i jumped out from the driver's seat and dragged the unconscious man out from the truck.

"what do we do with him?" i asked chan.

"white room," he replies.
