Apping
Introducing a New Character:
The application is thus:
Player Name:
Player E-Mail:
Player Plurk/AIM/DW (optional):
Character Name:
Character Canon:
Character Journal:
Canon Point Character is Taken From:
Importing Game CR (Y/N and Which Game):
If OC, a brief summary of their history:
If fan-made AU, what has changed in your character's history? What changes has the AU made to your character's personality? These changes, both to the canon and to the character's personality, must be significant enough to qualify as needing an AU.
Personality:
Writing Sample:
Character Special Abilities (can be a link to Wiki):
Items/Pets Characters Will Arrive With:
The 'personality' section should be at least a few decently-sized paragraphs, to give us an idea of what the character is like. Try to consider their strengths and weaknesses, as well as how curious they are. If they're the naturally inquisitive type, the mods can put exploration plots forth for you.
The writing sample could be a link to a thread, a request to thread with a mod, or a prose sample. It must be in prose, but other than that the sky's the limit.
Rules and Fine Print:
1. Players may introduce one new character per month.
2. We have a soft cap of five characters per player - however, if you are active with all five of your existing characters, we will consider sixth and seventh characters on a case by case basis.
3. Canon characters and fandom/non-fandom OC's are allowed. AU's, including both canon AU's and fan-made AU's are allowed. Fan-made AU's must show significant understanding of how the changes in the AU have affected the character.
4. Should you choose to, you may skip the jamjar setting restraints and app in an AU of your character who has always existed in the Winter universe. Please contact the mods about this, as we would be delighted to help you design a history for your character that makes sense for the setting and satisfies you.
5. One player apping multiple characters from the same canon will be considered on a case by case basis. If the characters have close CR, you can't play both as you're setting yourself up for selfcest.
6. Doubles of the same character (for example, Spider-Man from Marvel 616 and Spider-Man from the Marvel Movies) will be considered on a case-by-case basis. They must be significantly different from each other and both players must be alright with it.
7. No historical figures unless they're significantly different than the actual historical figure (for example, Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Slayer is okay, but Abraham Lincoln just as a president is not).
8. All characters must be humanized. This doesn't have to mean they think they're human (they can believe they are and have the powers of a space elf, if you want), but their physical bodies will be human.
A note about importing CR: unless the other halves of your CR are apping into the game, we reserve the right to ask you to revise your character's in-game history so those characters are expies. For example, if your character had CR with Jean Grey in a prior game, we may ask that your character actually knew Jane Greene, so as not to infomod future Jean Grey players or spring an unexpected castmate on them. If someone apps in the other half of your CR, you must get their okay to have that CR remembered, and if the player declines then the CR your character remembers must remain expied.
Please post here! Your comment will be screened and the mods will get back to you within three days. We will probably pull you into a private chat/plurk/email so we can work out with you directly how your characters' powers or items will work in the game, or to configure your backstory if you're apping a game AU. Your comment will be unscreened after approval.
