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.

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!) | ||
Sample 2
Dead--undead-- or not he's still so uncomfortable with the thought of clobbering it... back to dead.
Turning he heads toward the closest room first; the hallway bathroom, inside there's a few soaps, candles, a uncomfortably dry sponge but nothing of note. Down the hall the smaller of the two bedrooms look like it used to be for a child of some sort and Charles isn't entirely sure how long he can stand to be in there-- it's collected, proper, bed still mussed from the last time someone slept in it. An ache thuds in his chest, and while he knows they don't have time to mourn people they didn't even know, it's still upsetting. The back of his hand traces against his mouth as he eases back out into the hallway. Pressed into one of the walls he sucks in a deep breath, closes his eyes and reminds himself that there's nothing they could do about it.
He doesn't even finish collecting himself before he's moved on to the next room. The master bedroom is much like the child's-- however the bed is made and there's a pair of slippers tucked near the bathroom door. Charles feels his heart nearly leap out of his chest at a flash of movement, but it's just the bathroom curtain slipping into a stagnant pool of water. Turning back toward the hall he almost calls out before he thinks better of making that much noise and instead brushes his fingers against his temple,
Clear.
He was grateful to be allowed to shower first; the right easily belonged to Erik-- the man had done far more work than he had between the two of them, his own ability rendered rather useless in the wasteland of moving dead bodies. He pops the cupboard under the sink open, grabbing a cleaning glove so he can unplug the tub, noting the slight drip of the faucet that had lead to the standing water. It takes him nearly an hour to scrub the tub clean enough that he doesn't feel threatened by getting into it. Once he ripped the glove off, letting the tub drain once more he tossed it into the sink as he paused for the first time in forever to look at himself.
The lines of his face, deeper with exhaustion and lack of food, bright blues accented by deep red rings fading into his cheek bones. He still looked alive-- still flushed with some kind of color-- but not as much as he had been. He looked more tired than he could ever remember being, his hair was dusty and slightly matted and he had to wonder at what point it had become so easy to ignore. He picked at his clothes for a second before he tore his gaze away-- he didn't care to look at himself, not like that, not anymore. He yanked at the handle to get the water flowing again-- it sputtered a bit, but it did flow to life-- and he didn't even wait for it to warm up. He stripped his clothes with surprising quickness, only fumbling on the occasional button. He pulled them in with him, though, dropping them on the floor to clean after he finally rinsed his body.
He scrubbed, every little bit of skin even where it hurt, he had never felt the desire to be clean so painfully. The water running with the grime and blood stuck to bits of his skin. Breathing a heavy sigh he just ducked under the water-- making an effort to rake his fingers through his hair and clean it. Grabbing soap he scrubbed hard, waking over skin till some of it turned a sore pink-- because he just needed to be clean again, to feel more human because of it.
Once he was clean, and had scrubbed his clothes to his best of his ability. Trying to get the mess stuck to them off with simple hand soap. Eventually he gave in, too tired to fight with the fabric anymore, and threw the clothing back on. It was wet but he didn't care to risk being caught in a state of undress.
