YA Book Cover Photoshoot

UPDATE: Log is up, set for IC Weekend. 

IC SIGNUPS: Maya will be releasing the news via her social media accounts, probably generating a buzz among fans, especially locally, and there will be some small newspaper ads. Alternatively, feel free to TALK TO MAYA about the shoot she mentioned in her network post! Contact the mun if you'd like to handwave it. 

PAYMENT/INCENTIVES: There will be a little bit of money (approx $15/hr? idk) in it for participants, courtesy of Maya's publishing house.

  Heya StE! 

[personal profile] unwakingwaters  , our resident YA Fantasy author, is looking to revamp the book covers of her 5-part series, the Starheart Saga, loosely based on the story of KH: Birth by Sleep.  Details of the story and cast can be found at her post here. So naturally, being a photographer, Riku is doing the job.

if you want to and your character can meet the criteria, please let us know if you'd like to be involved in the log. :D

Plotwise, the shoots take place in a cathedral and/or a beach and will most likely feature swords/battle poses and other fantasy things, which may be echo triggery for characters. Since this is a fantasy book, I think we can assume forests/lagoons, as well. xD

Nerida - middle eastern (or close) young woman, 18-20s 
Kun - Asian young man 18-20s, well-muscled,  will probably wear a hakama 

Master Yaotl - older man, black hair, pale/sallow skin.
Prince Lagos - - Can be anyone really, but I suppose male? Would need a costume or digital enhancement. 
Master Agni - Older man, Indian (or close) 

Other support/backstage positions welcome. I have no idea but maybe a costumer/makeup artist? 

Currently:
Maya/Aqua - Writer
Riku + Van, maybe Hajime - Photographer and Assistant
Vanessa -- assistant/gopher? >.> Unconfirmed, might still be in clinic
Aquaman/Arthur - Prince Lagos
Ciel/Roxas + VBen - Zephyr + 1
Ravi - Master Agni
Logan Williamson - Master Yaotl
Kun - Hajime2? need muscle check
Hugo - Costumer? Unconfirmed

If nobody is interested or nobody can be found, anyone else needed will be played by NPCs. xD;

The log will probably be freestyle kinda thing, you can start threads to mingle besides the overall photoshoot. c:

If she's getting paid more than than minimum wage, she can probably finagle something with her manager via carefully explaining the situation. Or calling out sick. Whichever works. You only get this chance once in a life time.

As long as her glowing bits are hidden by whatever she wears, she'll be fine.

She is ABSOLUTELY being paid more than minimum wage FOR SURE. It's probably up in the $15 / hour range. So p much twice federal minimum

This particular character wears what's basically baggy pants, sandals, and a loose shirt with bell sleeves and a big belt. Even if glowing bits SHOW though, it's for a fantasy book cover and I think at THIS point we have no civilians on the shoot.

oh man yeah she'd DEFINITELY take a break off work for that. the costume is a definite bonus.

She might... actually have to read these books now though. Gothic horror and romance are more her thing so she... probably hasn't read them yet. She'd feel bad if she didn't.
