Another very very important aspect of the application. We'll be looking at your writing samples to make sure that you have a good understanding of the character in a more practical sense. The samples should match up to how you've explained the character's personality and give us a good idea of how they'll function in the game.

While these samples are required to be set in the City of Siren's Port, they definitely don't have to be an "introduction" post, if you feel that choosing some other random scenario would better showcase your character.

We understand that less verbal characters may not have a lot of dialogue in the first person sample. Be sure to give us some idea of how your character will be using his or her NV in the game, though. We don't require that you give us a whole bunch of dialogue when that much talking would be OOC for your character, but give us some other things, such as actions, expressions, or gestures when writing this sample.

First Person Sample should be written in the form of an entry on the NV, either in text, voice, video, or hologram form. Examples of entries can be found on the main community.

Third Person Sample should be written in the form of a prose, paragraph style piece of writing that gives us a glance inside your character's head and gives us an idea how they think and act on their own. Please avoid action tags, and please avoid making other characters into NPCs - we'd like a sample of how you will write a log entry, not a mini fanfiction.

Writing Samples

First Person Sample A sample written in the format of an NV post - this can be text, voice, video, or holographic in format. This sample must be set in the world of Siren's Port.

Third Person Sample: A sample written in third person, in the form of a prose or log tag. This could be anything from fighting a monster to decorating a house. If you're stumped on a scenario to use for this sample, a good start is to write your character's first reaction to arriving in Siren's Port. Be sure to keep it focused around your character and avoid overuse of canonmates or NPCs - it should read like a log tag, not a fanfiction. This sample must be set in the world of Siren's Port to give us an idea of how you will handle the setting.
