Refresher!:
• Flight 2342 departs Sydney, Australia on Konoha Airlines at 9:15AM on September 22, 2009.
• You can play with your character's age, it doesn't have to match canon with other characters.
• No characters will have any sort of meaningful connection to anyone who dies in the crash.
• Powers will not manifest in any character until a specific event later in the game, so everyone will start as normal people without any special powers.
• It's unlikely your character will directly know any of the other passengers unless they are related, married, or in a relationship.
• Characters who are apped as plane survivors after the opening of the game can have just been in the background until they show up.
• If you are looking to apply for an alt, please talk to a mod first!
Your application does not have to be a freaking novel so please don't get intimidated, holy crap. ♥

Character Information [To save both the mods and the players time, please run your basic ideas by us before finalizing your app: we will likely want you to add or change a few things to make sure the plot involves everyone equally!]
Name:
Age:
PB Model:
Nationality: [American, Australian, other?]
Hometown:
Personality: [Include strengths and defects/weaknesses please!]
History: [Include relatives and whether they're alive or not, where they lived as a child/teenager, notable occurrences that helped shape their personality. Some of these things will be highly relevant in flashback scenes, so please keep that in mind.]
Appearance: [Include their height and a general style of dress and anything else you think is important about what they look like.]
Skills: [Such as cooking, boxing, singing... it doesn't have to be relevant to life on the island.]
Hook/Weaknesses: [Things that your character can be yanked into plot by, such as drugs motivating an addict, damsels in distress motivating a heroic type, or Sakura motivating Naruto for instance. Your hook cannot be another character who isn't taken yet.]
Secrets/Skeletons In Your Closet: [Something that has happened to your character or that your character has done that they do not want anyone on the island finding out about/they don't want to talk about, or that haunts them in some form; it doesn't have to be really dramatic. Something as simple as having daddy issues, or as complex as seeking murderous revenge for a bloody past. Assume that this will be found out at some point by at least one other survivor at some point.]
Reason Why Your Character Was In/Leaving Australia: [You hopefully mentioned this in your History, but spell it out here again please!]
Reason Why Your Character Was On The Flight: [It's suggested but not mandatory that your character have a vaguely ironic reason that could have easily been avoided or shouldn't have happened, such as missing the previous flight and having to reschedule to this flight. Keep in mind that your character was not flying with anyone who died in the crash.]
Powers
Powers Your Character Will (Eventually) Gain: [This will be a slow process that won't start for a bit ICly, and then it will be gradual. Take their canon powers and translate them into this setting, as if it were more of a mutant ability than due to years of training. Such as Ino becoming psychic, Gaara gaining control over sand (there is lots of it)... feel free to include extreme athleticism or other basic ninja skills, or none of them! Note if their powers are mostly for defense or offense, if they are weak to certain modes of attack, etc.]
RP Sample
Third Person, Past Tense: [Feel free to choose a prompt for either pre-or-post-crash, either one: raining, acceptance, pillows, mangos.]
