Just some quick guideline:
*No one likes a Mary Sue or her supah hawt lovah Gary Stu. Avoid them.
*We don't want the house clogged with a bunch of teenagers. Varied age gaps add conflict and some resentment ("Kids these days!" "YOU DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE MY AGE!!!") and we really want a CORNUCOPIA of ages in the house.
*Copy and paste the code in the text box into your journal and, please, don't add or take away from the form, or mess with the coding. If you do so, we'll probably reject it.
*Fill out the application with proper grammar and spelling as well as punctuation. We understand typos sometimes slip, but if it is rife with typos and grammatical errors, we shall ask you to revise it.
*Original characters only please.
*Please reply in the comments with a link to your completed application in your character journal.
Application
Hi, my name is Player Name and I am age (this is a MUST, remember, no one under sixteen allowed). You can contact me AIM, MSN, YIM, PM? List here.
Character Name Here
Put an image of your character here. It can be as big or little as you want, it's your character's journal.
Lyrics describing your character here
Name: Character's name. Include any nicknames.
Age:
Pre-House Occupation: What were they before they woke up?
Play-By: Real PBs are preferable, but if you absolutely can't find someone to fit your character's face, realistic drawings are acceptable (no Anime or highly stylized art, please). If you would still like to write a description, include it in Distinguishing Features.
Distinguishing Features: Do they have a scar, birthmark, or other feature that would identify them if their face couldn't do so? Write it here.
∞
Personality: What is your character like? What makes them tick? What makes them them? I would like at least three paragraphs here.
Skills: Only three here, but it can be less. It can be skills singular to their profession, something they picked up in high school, or something they're just naturally good at. If possible, please make these skills unique from everyone else's.
Flaws: It can be character flaws, physical flaws, emotional flaws, whatever. Everyone needs to have at least one.
Unique Item: Only one unique item per person. It can be a piece of jewelry, book, squeaky toy, whatever as long as it's not a weapon or some piece of technology (let's face it, your iPhone would have probably been bricked long ago at this point). Exceptions can be made if it makes absolute sense and if you have a question, PM me.
∞
Pre-House History: From birth to when they woke up. I want their entire life accounted for, and years can be summed up in as little as one sentence. If you want to go overboard, great! If not, there is a minimum of three paragraphs.
Third-Person Sample Post: It can be a short one, just write how your character would do something. Go to the store, walk down the street, whatever.
First-Person Sample Post: Write how your character would write in their journal. Again, it can be short.
