S1 | APPLICATIONS.
Please post your application in its entirety here, with Character Name [Canon] in the subject line. All entries will be screened. All applications should be submitted in their final form. Please contact the mods if you need to make edits. Applications will reopen in January 2018. Please note: the application will be different when we reopen. Do not prepare your application based on the information on this current page. APPLICANT INFO. NAME: What you'd like to be called. CONTACT: Some form of contact. AIM, e-mail, plurk, etc. PM to your journal works just fine. CURRENT CHARACTERS: Other characters you have in game. ACTIVITY PROOFS: If this is your second character, please provide links to eight AC-length threads from the last two months, four for each month. If this is your first character, please delete this section. CHARACTER INFO. NAME: Their full name in western order. CANON: The full name of their canon. If it has an official English name, please use that. AGE: Please note their mental and physical age if they differ. APPEARANCE: A link to an image works just fine. Here's where you note if your non-humanoid will be given a synthetic (android) body. CANON POINT: What point in canon are they coming from? BACKGROUND: A wiki link with a good overview of the setting, their history and the character's role in the canon works fine. If one isn't available or is insufficient in any area, a short written description is required. If an original character, please use this section to describe the world setting and their history. PERSONALITY: One of the most important sections along with samples. There is a hard cap of 1500 words but we suggest keeping this section between 500-1000 words. If you are re-apping a character, please include any major personality changes that may have happened during their previous time in-game. SUITABILITY: The game's premise relies on characters willingly working on field teams (as opposed to desk jobs!) for ALASTAIR. How will your character approach their circumstances? This section should touch on subjects like how your character might adapt to the setting, their reservations, how they will justify staying on the team, etc. A paragraph will suffice! ABILITIES: Both supernatural and normal abilities (such as "swordfighting skills") go here. If your character is a supernatural creature, please detail both their strengths and weaknesses. Please write out all abilities in your own words and do not link your character's abilities. Any abilities not put here will not be usable in game. INVENTORY: What your character is bringing with them. Characters will not be able to bring weapons or other important items that aren't on them at the time, but they will have opportunities to get them back. WRITING SAMPLES. NETWORK SAMPLE: This sample should show how your character would address the game as a whole. This sample should contain mostly dialogue. Please do not submit an action sample. This can be written or linked. If linked, the sample must meet network activity requirements (seven comments from you in a single thread). LOG SAMPLE: This sample should show how your character interacts in person. This sample should contain introspection. Both prose and brackets are fine. Please do not submit a network sample. This can be written or linked. If linked, the sample must meet log activity requirements (five comments from you in a single thread). You can link non-intro posts from other games or threads from the TDM. At least one sample should take place in game, and any threads set in-game must be written as if your character is already established. They can be a new arrival, but please don't give us an intro post/first landing thread in either sample. For a general idea of what we're hoping to see, we've also compiled some sample applications accepted in the past, shared with player permission. |
