Applications

Feb 15, 2008 16:43

In order to apply to Rivelata, please first check out the FAQ! Then, just fill out the form below and post it here. Sometimes we ask for revisions or sources, particularly with regards to magical powers; please don't be offended! There are four types of responses you will get: "Accepted!", a request for "Clarification", recommendations towards a new application, or a rejection notice.

Rivelata processes applications twice a week.

Application Screening Note: Rejected Applications will be screened by the moderators after the rejection comment has been posted. Applications which require Clarifications are left unscreened, unless they reach the point of being Rejected. In addition, when players drop characters, their applications will also be screened. Thus all visible applications ONLY represent the current Rivelata cast.

If you cannot provide a substantial amount of information on your character, we ask that you write the background history. Any written backgrounds should be a minimum of 500 words.
TIMELINE SUMMARY: 
At what point in your character's canon are they being pulled from? Why is it significant that you took the character from the moment you're describing? What happened for the last couple of chapters, episodes, etc. that would most significantly impact your character upon their arrival? This section should be 3-5 sentences in length.

PERSONALITY: 
What traits make your character unique? How do they interact with their canon-mates? Is your character more or less mature than their actual age, or even the age they appear to be? Are they part of a specific race, animal species, or are they a form of robot? Are they a part of some specific culture? You should include whatever is most integral to the character, and provide examples from canon as a backing for certain aspects of your character's overall personality. This section should be at least 350 words, but preferably more. This is one of the sections that we pay the most attention to, so don't be afraid to go into detail!
