Character Application Form

Apr 11, 2007 22:48

Fill out and leave in a comment on this post only. DO NOT make an entire new entry with your application or Dr. Cox will come after you with a rolled up newspaper.

If you don't get your first choice, please consider applying for another character. We want as much of the staff playing as possible!

That's a good Newbie. )

Note, the about should read
-Age: mid 40s, but you'd never know by looking.
it does not, but i don't want to delete the whole comment just to add that bit in.

*Sample RP Post*:
Jordan stretched as she got out of bed, and quickly wrinkled her nose. After the board meeting, the room had been empty and it had seemed the perfect time to take a nap, before going home to two screaming babies-okay, one screaming baby and one unruly toddler. Doesn't matter, two annoying kids and her big scary house frau. Still, nothing is quite as odd to wake up to as hospital smell. The first thought that pops up is always, "Something's not right..."

Icky smells aside, it was time to blow out of this sick-hole. Jordan had an appointment for a pedicure at three, leaving just enough time to swing through the caffeteria and rewrite the little soap opera of Perbear and frriends. They'd gotten boring lately, always the whiny one-DJ-whining and somebody else giving solid after school special advice. Stepping in and taking a quick inventory of the area, she saw none of her usual victims. Boo. Maybe she could pick on an intern for funsies. If she showed up for the pedicure too irritated, she'd kick her somebody in the face again-and it is so hard to find a replacement now that most have had a good kick. It didn't take long to spot the table of new interns.

She didn't introduce herself, just leaned over the table until all eyes were on her-or at least her chest. "Entertain me. I've got two minutes and I'm not wasting them on drool."

The four stared at each other, half awed half petrified. No one had any idea what to say, so the furthest worried (but still staring) face from Jordan carried on with their previous train of conversation, "Well-it's-we're having some trouble with Dr. Cox-"

This was so easy it was boring. "Listen, just go right up to him the next time he's in the middle of talking, call him a nickname based off of 'Perry'-that's his first name, monkeys-and tell him if you don't start getting the respect you deserve, he's just not going to be allowed to push all your little buttons anymore. Got it? Great." It would be a fun afternoon for Perry. Jordan wore just enough smile to celebrate victory without attracting conversation as she strolled out towards the parking lot

great application! unfortunately its clear that you didn't really read the rules, so if you could do that and get back to me, that'd be super.

Gah. I read the FAQ page and mistook that for the rules. Apologies.

Also, I have taken note of all the things that have *not* yet happened to Jordan (babies, divorce party, Ben's death) as well as the other characters, but still choose to include them in her character description. This is partly because they better help explain her personality as it has always been, and mostly because I am a bit reluctant to redo the whole application solely to remove time-sensitive details. If that's a problem, and you'd prefer I rewrote it, then I can do so with no complaints--though it will read primarily the same way.

There's one thing I'm not clear on. Jack hasn't been born yet, but when Ben first appears, he says to JD that they've both slept with both of his sisters. I thought Danni didn't make her first appearance until Jack was born--she explained herself by saying, "My sister's having a baby, so I'm here doing the aunt thing" and we later find out that her sister is Jordan. Is there something I'm missing? I'm going to look into it more in episode synopses, but if you could help me out...

Ben said that later on, the second time he pops up (the "gay chicken" episode) after travelling around for a year, and then immediately drops dead. ~_~; dumb cancer. The first time he showed up was because he'd shot himself through the hand with a nail gun. heheheh

But thanks! You don't have to rewrite the application, I just wanted to make sure you understood where we all are and what's gone on. The RP sample and everything is mostly to make sure you know what you're doing with the character. ^^ so you're in!
