[Character name] Emmett Cullen
[Age] 20 physically; 91 (born 1915, Twilight ended in 2006)
[Canon] Twilight
[Point in time taken from canon] Post Breaking Dawn
[Background]
History at the Twilight wiki
I feel it should be noted that parts of this application involve discussion of Midnight Sun as it's canon, the leaked portion is on the website and it's in the wiki too. It's mostly minor details that help to flesh out his backstory a little more as Midnight Sun is a re-telling of Twilight from Edward's point of view.

[Personality]
In the Cullen coven, Emmett is the youngest meaning he hasn't been on the vegetarian bandwagon just as long as the others so the smell of human can still be incredibly good and difficult to resist for him however he's better than Jasper as seen when he was able to keep his cool when things got crazy - after all, he was able to resist the smell of Bella's blood rather than lashing out. However, Emmett has slipped up in the past and killed someone because the smell of her blood was just that appealing to him. This happened when he was young, still more than a little wild and more impulsive; he felt guilty about it but he eventually said "eternity is a long time to wallow in guilt" to Edward about it. However, Edward feels comfortable around his brother because Emmett acts on his thoughts anyway.
Some of Emmett's personality before being a vampire is reflected even after he was turned: as a young man before being turned he was considered somewhat wild by his parents and he drank, womanised and gambled happily without thinking about the consequences. But still, he loved his family.
Emmett looks like the most intimidating Cullen - 6'5" and all muscle - but he's extremely loving, especially to his wife Rosalie (going so far as to call her an angel when she saved him) and his family, including Bella and his niece Nessie.
Emmett's preferred method of dealing with a tense situation is to make a joke about it because he loves them and he loves to laugh; at times, this bugs Edward, especially early on in when the Cullens first became aware of Bella and Edward's feelings about her. Emmett rarely, if ever, hesitates about saying what he thinks - he speaks his thoughts whereas others play their cards closer to their chests. His optimism helps to temper his apparent thoughtlessness, impatience and how he makes rash decisions or lets his vampire instincts take over but he is extremely brave with a love of fighting and competition. Examples of this is when Bella was hunted by James: Emmett was initially disappointed not to go down with her because he wanted to fight James but Bella then pointed out that by staying with Edward, he'd have a better chance to get his fight. Despite that, family comes first. Emmett wanted to get a chance to fight with Demetri, a member of the Volturi guard but he put that to one side when he said yes to Bella becoming a vampire which meant there would be no smackdown with the Volturi. Again, this comes up when he makes the plan to find vampire witnesses to prove that his niece Nessie wasn't an immortal child as such things were prohibited by Volturi law meaning she would be destroyed. He still wanted to fight though but this demonstrates that Emmett actually is smart too instead of being the dumb muscle he could so easily be seen for.
Another possibly surprising trait is that Emmett is good at chess but he likes to play with Jasper and Rosalie rather than Edward or Alice seeing as their gifts can predict all his moves.
There is one sort of odd little quirk of Emmett's: he dearly loves to hunt bears to feed on in retribution for them mauling him.

[Sample post]
[First Person]
- If I offered to save your soul for a price, would you go with it and why?
Not sure on where vampires stand in the soul stakes - you'd need to ask Carlisle or Edward about that one, they get pretty preoccupied with it - but I think if I still have one, Rosalie saved it when she saved my life all those years ago. So the answer there is no, my beautiful wife beat you to it.
- If you could have any super ability, what would it be and why?
You mean besides what I can do right now? Okay hang on...this is going to sound weird as hell but roll with it man, it makes sense: digestion. Everyone who eats food just takes that for granted but being able to eat without throwing it back up later would be amazing - no one likes puking, especially not when you've got enhanced senses going on. You'd think you'd stop missing things after seventy years though...
- What were you doing before now?
Babysitting Nessie and watching the game, probably pretending to listen to Rosalie or Jacob or whoever else - game comes first, even before family time and we've all got forever.
- You're asked to take someone out for a date. Do you agree? If so, describe what you would do. If not, tell why.
I'm seriously not getting the point of these questions, I mean, who the hell is even reading this? But just in case my darling, wonderful, beautiful wife happens to be reading this: we'd go hunting, wrestle some mountain lions or bears, something like that, go out to a club - lady's choice, I might not be Edward, Jazz or Carlisle but I've still got old-fashioned manners - and well...I'll leave the rest up to your imagination, wouldn't want to spoil anything.
- You are a given a mission. Would you complete it effectively or would you goof off and do something else? Expand a little on the response.
I think I've proven that I can not only carry out missions but also come up with them when it comes down to the wire because it's family, you do whatever you can to protect the people you love because you know they'd do the same thing for you too. I mean the big plan? That was me. We all stepped up and did our part but that was probably the most exceptional circumstance so if it was a more...regular mission, I'd probably goof off. Play xbox. Go for some non-essential hunting trips, that sort of thing - I'm a vampire, I mean, it's not like the normal rules apply in this situation.
- You just got a challenge to fight from one of the strongest gang leaders around. Do you accept or reject? Why?
I throw down. I love a good fight.
- Would you consider yourself a well traveled person? If so, what are some of your favorite places? If not, would you want to travel or is there some place you want to go?
I've been plenty of places - Africa was amazing, I mean you've seen the nature shows you know what's out there and damn...it's awesome. I always liked Brazil too. I mean, city or town life is easy but I like interesting places with things to see and do.
- You are forced onto the dance floor and you MUST dance or the most important person or thing will be destroyed. What do you end up dancing and to what music?
I don't think Edward'd call it dancing but you know what I mean right? Get Low, something like that, plenty of bass. Probably couldn't do that alone though but Rosalie's the most important person and I'm dancing to save her so it'd all work out.
- You discover someone stalking you. Do you call the police or deal with it yourself?
Deal with it myself because the kind of thing that'd stalk me? Not something the police would deal with. Although going on what I've seen lately in my own family, dealing with one means eventually marrying them...kidding!
- Some angry birds come to you to help them defeat some evil green pigs. Do you help them out?
...seriously fuck that game.
- You find yourself with a cute, little penguin slave. What do you do with it?
Eat it, next question.
- Would you prefer being the stalker, or the one being stalked? And what would you do?
I'm Emmett, not Edward. I don't climb into girl's rooms while they sleep and take their truck engines out although he might've asked Rose, she's better at that mechanic stuff than he is.
- If you could change your current lifestyle or job career, what would it be?
I'd probably cut the high school routine; you can only be MVP so many times before it loses its sparkle. God ignore that pun. I might branch out a little next time I go through college but that's not for a while, I think I've earned some time off to just hang with my family.
- If you could be superhero, what would your codename and special power be?
The Spectacular Em. My special powers would be eating through anything. Anything.
- Oh no! Someone tripped and injured themselves right in front of you! What do you do?
Point, laugh, stick it on YouTube.
- You find yourself on a robot unicorn. What do you do?
Switch off the eighties garbage and get the heavy metal blaring, time to fuck shit up Nightmare Moon.
- Will you make a contract with me? ／人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人＼
Yeah...I need to talk to Jazz about that first, he's like the legal counsel in our family
[Third Person]
The one good thing about Forks had been the endless days of rain or just a general tendency to be overcast; milder than Alaska and more like a real place to live where it was easier to hide. But here, this dream city weirdness he'd somehow been pulled into, the weather didn't make it so great and he'd been treated to a more normal sort of weather, sun (too much sun and he really resented that he couldn't do his normal routine, that he had to hide out or wait until late in the day to go out) and wind and yeah, rain, real snow, not that slushy crap and then weirder stuff. Raining leaves. Yeah that had been fun for all of five minutes until it had turned to mulch and he'd been forced to clean indoors because even he couldn't live somewhere with leaf mulch tramped all through everything. And his car. Man he'd had to work hard to earn the credits to get that beast and it was his pride and joy.
So suffice to say, he was stuck in the rain. Cold, kind of miserable (kind of missing Rosalie far too much, she'd like to go shopping here and Jazz and Edward too, for the woods to run through and some of the crazy people he'd met). He needed to hunt but he couldn't bring himself to be bothered and besides, he had to head out from the city, go into the village and then go to the woods. It was a pain in the ass but he wanted to live in the city, wanted to be in the heart of everything because he didn't get to do that much. Forks was a good place to be but sometimes he wanted to go out and act like the young man he looked to be. Which apparently translated to living in a dream city, freezing his marble balls off in unseasonable rain in just a t-shirt, his hoodies all cosy and snug back in his Somni apartment.
He couldn't even race off. He didn't want to draw attention to himself even if other people seemed to think it was cool to say 'oh hey, I'm a troll', 'oh hey I'm a witch' or 'oh hey I'm an acid flashback robot unicorn attack vomit talking winged pony thing'.
Time to take stock of the options. A few feet away there was a shack, like something out of a low-budget horror movie but it'd do he guessed to wait out the shower. Further up there was a house, one people hurried past for no reason he'd ever managed to discern although maybe it was to do with the stained windows. Stains that his eyesight could tell, even from here, were on the inside and were definitely old. The last option was a hotel but he didn't know if he was in the mood right now to deal with people, dripping everywhere, pretending to drink coffee and eat cookies or whatever else there was. And someone might notice that the cold wouldn't leave him even once he dried off.
"Okay, shack it is, murderers be prepared to deal with a bear," he muttered to himself as he jogged in the direction of the shack, hurrying inside, slamming the door-- "Fuck!" He cursed, staring in dismay at the remains of the door and the splintered mess of the doorway. "Well shit, time for door number two."
Hightailing it out, the wind gods were smiling at him because a loud gust followed, bellowing and howling and the shack gave a very violent tremor and creak before it crashed to the ground, crumbling away to nothing.
"Crazy, man, crazy," he said to a shell-shocked local, staring with saucer eyes at the remains of the shack.
"You're lucky that wasn't you young man," the man replied and Emmett had to bite his lip not to laugh.
"Man, I think my head'd take the damage, you should talk to my wife. If she was here. Be careful."
Running, the rain turning to hail, bouncing harmlessly off him, he slammed - carefully, so damn carefully - into the abandoned house and immediately wretched, covering his nose.
"Smells worse than those damn mutts stinking up our crib," he choked, fighting not to breathe. Damp, decay, mold and mildew, cat pee and the unmistakable rust and salt of old blood. Old human blood. This wouldn't do at all and regrettably, he left his even more temporary shelter, fighting not to breathe in again until he was outside. "I don't even wanna know what went down in that place."
With the air of a man walking to his execution, he headed for the hotel, stamping up the street with a bear's snarl on his face until he realised that people weren't running for shelter any longer, making him look up, arms extended, palms up and...it was stopping. The rain was easing, the wind had died down, the clouds were opening.
The clouds were opening.
"Never thought I'd ever miss the constant rain of Forks." Because now it was time to head to the hotel and blend in, somewhere with no natural light before he was being a glitterball and letting the secret out to the dream world.
[Why do you want to play this character in Somarium?] Fffff um, I am hideous at these things but Emmett is one of my favourite characters in the series and I'd just like to see him in this sort of environment because it'd be interesting to see him interact in a place where no one has a clue what he is
[Which rule was your favorite and why?] Blah, being nice etc etc because this game is nice anyway.
[Where did you hear about Somarium?] I play here
[Any questions?] What kinds of animals are there for Emmett to go hunt? Deer are fine but he has a liking for mountain lions. And bears. Douchebag bears. Also dreaming - I assume everyone has to sleep in Somarium anyway and Emmett won't mind once he gets over the whole 'oh this is the first time I've slept in like seven decades man' thing.
