Player's Name:
The Name you wish to be called by other players in the game.
Characters Played Here:
List your current characters in the game.
Character:
Your character's name.
Series/Canon:
The name of the book, movie, video game, series, etc that your character is from. If the character is an original character, put "original character".
From When?
What canon point is your character from? You may disregard this for original characters.
Previous Game(s):
Disregard if not applicable.
World Description: (Original Characters Only)
Give a brief run-down of the universe your character comes from. Is there magic? Is the sky purple? Is it a dystopia? We expect to see at least a detailed paragraph outlining important information from your character's setting.
History:
Links to wikis are fine for canon characters, so long as the wiki is in depth. If you are writing out their history, we expect to see at least four detailed paragraphs.
Include a paragraph or two describing your character's history at their previous game, if applicable.
AU and Canon OC applications may not link to preexisting histories such as wikis.
Does your character have any close ties to existing canon characters? (Canon OCs and AUs only.)
Please note their relationships with canon characters. If you are applying for an AU character or OC who has close ties to an existing character in-game, you must contact that player and make sure they're all right with it and hash out how things will play out. We will ask them; if you haven't done so, your application will be rejected.
Why do you think your character would work in this setting?
Why did your character accept Eli's offer or were they invited by the town council? How will they respond to the setting? If your character entered the game unwillingly, tell us how they'll react to the setting and whether you think they might choose to stay.
How do you plan to expand their CR?
We hope to see players attempt to branch out of their (and their character's) comfort zones, and try to encourage cultivation of as much CR as possible. We feel that this responsibility is 50% on the new player, and 50% on current players; with that in mind:
Is your character a social butterfly? Do you have plots that would help expand their social circle? If not, how do you plan to work to gain CR with new people?
What will your character do for work?
Your character must have a job in New Dodge if they are over the age of 13.
Inventory:
What items is your character bringing with them into the game? (This section may require revision, but will not influence whether your character is accepted or rejected.)
Samples:
Third-Person Sample:
Provide at least three hundred words showing you've got a grasp of how you play your character. If you provide a link, you must have three hundred words total by you.
First-Person Sample:
A ten-sentence sample of a first-person communication from your character. Strong preference is given to a sample written as a letter or diary entry, but past network and Dear_Mun posts are acceptable, too. Please note that brackets (actions/third-person narration) within the post will not count towards the sentence requirement.
Replies to other characters' posts are also acceptable, so long as the 10-sentence minimum is met. However, you may be asked to provide more if this is not deemed sufficient.
