All applications to be posted here. Comments are no longer screened. Please put '[CHARACTER NAME] Application' in your subject line. If there are multiple parts, label them as such. And remember - you're trying to impress us! Give it your best, even if we know you.
Please make sure you have read the rules, setting and plot information and FAQ before you app. The Orientation posts in general will be helpful. If you are not sure who to app, why not check out our wanted characters page?
PLAYER INFO
Name: What you'd like us to call you.
Age: Self-explanatory.
LJ username: You don't need to have one but if you do we'd like to know it.
Email address/AIM: For contact purposes. AIM isn't compulsory but is useful for keeping in touch with other players, and an in-character AIM account is strongly recommended.
How did you find us? Which community you saw the advertisement in; who told you about it; etc.
CHARACTER INFO
Name:
Series/Source: What book or TV series or comic or film or video game or what have you do they come from?
Age:
Gender:
Species in canon: Everyone's human when they wake up in the city, but what do they remember being before they came here?
Appearance: Be as in-depth (or not) as you feel like being, but elaboration in this area is recommended for characters who, in their canon, have notably inhuman traits (or aren't human-looking at all), because you'll have to be making up what they look like as a human. As all characters arrive in plain black clothing, any particular clothing or equipment will be missing and can be left out.
Personality: Again, write as much as you think is appropriate, but bear in mind this is the section we'll be paying the most attention to.
Strengths: Mental and physical talents, skills and abilities. Please remember characters will not possess any superhuman abilities they had in canon.
Weaknesses: Again, both mental and physical, and again, supernatural weaknesses will not be present.
Background: The character's canonical history. Make it clear from which point in canon you're taking them, although most characters should be taken from either the end of their series or, for characters who die over the course of their canon, immediately following their death. Feel free to elaborate on the histories of characters without much canon backstory: we want to know what they'll remember of their past.
Third-person RP sample: As a default topic, you could write your character's arrival in the City, or how they spend their first night. Any situation is permissable provided you show your knowledge of the character, their personality and their behaviour.
Anything else?
