APPLICATIONS.

APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED.

Applications open on July 24 at 12:01AM EST. Please post your applications on this page!

You may app up to two characters per round. The total amount of characters you may have at this time is four. You may have two characters from the same canon, however these characters can not have met or will have no reason to do so in the future. We will decide this on a case-by-case basis.

Reserves are not a requirement. However, a reserve is an excellent way to state your intentions and to give us a heads up to research your canon and character so that we can process it faster.

If you are asked for revisions, then you have seventy-two hours to reply to the comment with what we have asked.

If you would like details on a rejection then you may PM the mod account or reply to the comment and we will be as detailed as possible.

_________applications.

ooc info;
Name: (Your online handle.)
Age: (Your age. Unfortunately, players below the age of 16 are not allowed.)
Ways to contact: (Email, AIM, Plurk, etc.)
Characters currently played: (List of characters currently played in the game. Character limit is currently 4.)

character info;
Character Name: (Your character's full name, in Western order. The characters may call themselves whatever they wish ICly, but for organization's sake we need this.)
Canon: (Name of your character's canon.)
Canon Link: (Link to your character's history/canon, i.e. wikipedia articles/informative fansites/etc.. If it's a particularly obscure canon with very little information available, you may write your own section to give us an overview of your character's history and world background.)
Canon Point: (The point from which your character is pulled i.e. chapter 500, just before the final battle, after confessing their eternal love, etc.)

Character Age: (Your character's age, or approximation thereof. Characters of all ages are allowed, though we request that if a character is under the age of 10, you fill out an additional section detailing their suitability for living in a post-apocalyptic world.)
Character Suitability: (For characters under the age of 10 only. We need to know why the Caretakers would think such a young child would be strong enough to survive a zombie-infested earth and help to rebuild the world.)

Personality: (The meat of the app. Tell to us your character's motivations, their likes and dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, relationships, and anything else you think is important in letting us know what makes them tick. A bunch of words doesn't always mean a good application, and we won't ask for an college essay, but we do require that this section be at least 350 words long, to show us you know what you're talking about and can elaborate appropriately.)

Powers & Abilities: (Briefly describe any supernatural powers or abilities your characters may have i.e. healing spells, super strength, teleportation. Their powers will, of course, be severely dampened upon arriving, but perhaps, if seen as worthy, they can wake up to find it more potent than before.)

Items on their Person: (List any items you character would have had with them upon being taken. Your character has to be holding or touching these items somehow for them to be brought with them. For example, items in the pockets of clothing or in a backpack will be brought along with you. Summoned weapons will also be brought, but they cannot be put back.)

samples;
ALL SAMPLES MUST BE SET IN THE GAME'S UNIVERSE.
First Person Sample: (This is to showcase your character's dialogue, so while you may use [bracket action] when needed, this should be at least 5 spoken sentences. Remember, a sentence has to have a subject and a verb. Monosyllabic sounds do not count toward the minimum. If you're having difficulty thinking up a sample, you may request a Q&A for this portion instead, where we will give you 5 questions to be answered ICly.)

Third Person Sample: (This is a prose portion, meant to showcase your character's thoughts and actions, as well as your own writing ability. Samples must be at least 300 words. Remember to use proper spelling, grammar, and paragraphs.)

Additional Information: (Questions, comments, and additional miscellaneous facts about your character may be added here!)

Items on their Person: The only thing that Klarion keeps close to him, besides his clothing, is his familiar, Teekl (who I presume will not be able to appear with him). He wears tight black pants under what appears to be a combination of a black suit and a mage's robe; the coat reaches mid-thigh and is fastened by three straps at the waist, hanging opening above and below the straps. Besides the coat and pants, he wears a white high-collared dress shirt and a thin, black tie.

Samples;
First Person Sample:
This is ridiculous! What am I supposed to do with something like this? [There is an audible scowl as he shakes something off-screen.] I don't use stupid weapons like a barbaric oaf! You can't expect me to swing something like this around! You really think I'm going to do anything at all if you're going to take my magic away?

[It doesn't seem to matter that he's ranting at something that won't answer. He just keeps going at it.] And I want my cat! You can't just ... extract me from whatever fictional world you're talking about in this stupid recording and not give me Teekl! I want my cat now! Now, now, now, NOW!

Third Person Sample:
After the initial confusion of waking up from some deep blackness he did not remember falling into, there was anger. How dare someone strap him down like a beast? And then there was confusion again. Where was he? Where was Teekl? Why couldn't he feel Teekl? Was this Nabu's doing? No, even as the question crossed his mind, he dismissed it; the self-righteous old geezer didn't have the kind of style necessary to strap him down to a table and make him wait like this. No, this had to be the doing of someone more conniving, more deliberate...

Right about now, Teekl would usually interrupt his thoughts to steer him back on track. Not more than a few minutes away from his familiar and there was already that sensation of loss. He had to get out of these bonds. He had to find out where he was, how he had gotten here, and then wreck something. Utterly wreck something, for all of the indignation he was presently feeling. Sure, it was inevitable that he would be knocked from the physical plane once in awhile, but this was not the work of some Lord of Order. No one below him was going to get away with making him feel trapped and contained!

The longer he remained bound and alone, however, the more wary he became of his situation. The anger and indignation were slow to fade without Teekl to give him focus, but he was becoming aware that there was something else going on here. He couldn't sense any magic from his surroundings. So what was keeping him here? Just the physical bonds? He couldn't summon upon anything to break the restraints or the table under him, and his anger yelling had not drawn anyone to his location. And, if he strained his hearing enough, there were strange noises (moans?) coming from elsewhere in the complex.

He shut his eyes and seethed aloud. He hated feeling helpless.

Additional Information: I just want to know if/when Teekl would be available to Klarion. He's rather fond of his familiar, weakness or no weakness. Not necessary, but it'd be nice to know!

edit: Ahaha, I just realized I typed in my Plurk wrong. It's journeymancrystal.
