Applications
Here is the page where you post your application. Please read all necessary rules and check our Taken characters page as well as our Reserves page before posting. Our rules for what characters are applicable to the game can be found here.
Below is the guideline for the application template.
BASIC PLAYER INFO
Name/Nickname: (what do we call you?)
Age: (you must be 18 to play here)
Current Characters: (who do you already play here?)
Email/IM/Plurk: (for ease of communication, please have one mode of contact other than PM)
BASIC CHARACTER INFO
Name:
Source: (what canon do they come from?)
Age: (characters need to be 14 or older)
Canon Point: (specify when they are coming from)
Humanoid?: (if not, describe or link a picture to show how they are changed to fit the setting)
Ward/Guardian: (Which one are they?)
Item: (Guardian Only) What item does the Guardian receive their clues and directives from?
Fetched?: (Ward Only) Will someone be coming to pull your Ward out of their world, making a deal with them, just before their canon death? Or will they appear in the brig on the ship after they've died, where they will need to be read their rights?
Canon Link: (The mods have not seen/read everything, and they don't want to. Please provide a wiki link to a character bio, relevant history, etc. If the series is super complicated a short, one-paragraph gist of the show would not go amiss, either. The longer it takes us to figure out an obscure canon, the longer it will take to review an application. This is to help us better judge your application!)
Personality: (Minimum 5 paragraphs. There are several things we need to know. What makes your character tick? Why are they a Ward/Guardian? How will they react to the ship? How do they typically socialize? What sets them off? What does the Ward need to learn (be brief about this for now), and what methods will a Guardian use with their assigned Ward? What do they fear? How do they react in stressful situations? This hardly covers everything, but as you answer these questions and expound on this character, be sure to briefly include examples of this behavior from their history.
Powers: (Remember that all Inmate powers are redacted until they can earn them back. Exceptions are physical characteristics they were born with, such as fangs.)
First Person Sample: (Give us a clear view of their spoken voice in a network post. Outside meme examples like at bakerstreet or dear_player are fine. 5 sentences of spoken dialogue minimum. Thoughts and action do not count unless the character is actually mute and speaks through action, or something similar.)
Third Person Sample: (3 paragraphs minimum. Give us a scene that shows the character in third person prose. Explore their inner dialogue, how they react to their surroundings, etc. At least one of your samples needs to be pertinent to the game setting.)
Additional Notes: (Please provide any additional notes you think we should bear in mind or consider while reviewing your application.)
Once you have posted your application, you will receive a notice from the mod account stating we are reviewing it. We will reply within 72 hours. Any revision requests we post for you have a 72 hour deadline as well.
