Applications
Applications may be submitted at any time. When submitting an application, please post a single comment reply containing your character's name and series, then post the text of your application in reply to your first comment. Linked applications will not be accepted.
You do not need to reserve to apply. At this time, we do not accept challenge applications. Reservations are held for seven days.
If you are asked for revisions, please reply to the thread with your revisions directly in the comments. Please do not edit the original application. You will have 72 hours to revise your application. If you need an extension, please contact the mods.
If your application is declined, you will be given an explanation as to why the application was declined. You are welcome to make the necessary edits and resubmit your application at a later time. If your application is declined three times, you may not reserve or apply for that character again for six months.
APPLICATION:
PLAYER INFORMATION
Name: (What's your name?)
Age: (Are you over age 17? You may answer yes or no.)
Journal: (If you have a personal account, you may list it here.)
E-Mail/AIM/Plurk: (If it is better to contact you via E-Mail or AIM, let us know where we can reach you)
Returning Characters: (If you already play here, who do you play and how many characters do you play?)
CHARACTER INFORMATION
Full Name: (What is your character's name? If they also have another alias, please list it here.)
Canon: (What series are they from?)
Chronology: (From what point in the series are you taking them?)
Setting: (Describe the world your character comes from. A wiki link is acceptable in this section.)
Character History: (This section asks that you take us through the major events of your character's life. Who are they and what is their role in their world? What major events take place during the course of their canon? When necessary, please explain important relationships and any plot events or terminology that someone unfamiliar with the canon would need to know to follow the plot.
If you are playing a CRAU, please be sure to include major events of their previous game, including important relationships.
If you are playing an EH-based AU or an original character, please be sure to include details of the character's past and familial history, education and economic status, and any other relevant details to flesh out your character.
There is no wordcount or paragraph minimum for this section; a novel is not necessary, so do not feel that you must recap every single episode or adventure. You may use bullet points in this section if you desire. Headcanon may also be used to supplement as needed, however it must be indicated as such, and characters that use more than 2/3 headcanon may be deemed unacceptable. Please note that wiki links are not acceptable for this section. This must be written in your own words.)
Personality: (In at least two paragraphs, describe your character's personality. You may include any quirks or odd behaviors. Explain how they perceive and relate to the world and to other people. Account for any personality changes over the course of the canon, including both surface traits as well as deeper motivations.)
Powers, Skills, & Talents: (Is your character super-powered in anyway? If so, please describe in detail the extent of their powers as well as any limitations to them. We reserve the right to ask that you scale back the powers if we feel they could adversely impact the worldbuild. Likewise, does your character have any skills of interest or something you feel we should know about?)
Inventory: (Please provide a complete list of all items that your character is bringing with them into the game. All items must be on their person at the time of their arrival, and any items that supernatural or are of advanced technology may need to be nerfed. If you are unsure if an object is suitable, please ask the mods.)
CHARACTER SAMPLES
First Person:
Please provide us with a sample of your character addressing the game at large via the Network. If you choose you may link up to three threads to demonstrate how you've previously played the character.
Third Person:
Please provide us with a third person sample of your character in the world of Event Horizon. We're looking for introspection and a clear grasp on the character's personality and motivations. Links to prior logs are not acceptable for this sample.
