Application

[mercenarymayhem]

Applications are currently open.

We keep this pretty simple. We basically just want to know that you know your character. Characters from all canons are accepted as well as OCs, including fandom OCs. Up to three versions of a character are allowed at one time: a Native AU version, an OU version, and a version from some other AU. Please only apply for one character at a time.

Please note that mentioning pre-established relationships in apps is considered godmodding, e.g. mentioning that your character is best friends or a close associate with another character.

Please contact the mods before apping any of the special characters listed in the setting. This includes character such as members of the Ai family, Sheila, and Kaikaina Grif.

Copy and paste from the text box into a comment below, or link to it on your character journal. Thanks!

Character journal used:
Reference (if applicable): You can just stick a wiki link in here.
Canon point (if applicable): What is the point in time that your OU or canon AU character went through the dimensional portal?
Personality: Something brief is fine; this can be bullet points if you want. Please make sure to list both strengths and weaknesses. Basically we want to see that your character is balanced and not overpowered.
Back story: Just a few paragraphs needed here, first about the origins of your canon, and then your character's place in it.
Sample: Just one; you can link something from a past log if you want. If you haven't done any threads with this character yet you should write something fresh, though.

Thank you for your interest in the game. We have unfortunately decided to decline your application for the following reasons:

- The personality section is quite brief and doesn't allow the reader a glimpse into the character's manner of thinking. We would like to see more analysis of the character's thought process. For example, was she always crude and loud mouthed? Did this contribute to her exclusion from her family? What motivates her?

- The backstory is also rather brief. Why did she go to Adaptive? What did she do to earn her name, and what does she do now that she is a mercenary? What motivates her beyond violence. How does calling in a favor with someone make her 'Agent Missouri,' and what does 'Agent' constitute?

- Upon further discussion, the mods have amended the rules to include more information about what is considered godmodding. Including a familial or close personal connection to a canon character would force another player to act out that connection, should that character be applied for in the future.

Thank you once again for your interest in the game.

Thank you for your interest in the game. We have unfortunately decided to decline your application for the following reasons:

- The personality section is quite brief and doesn't allow the reader a glimpse into the character's manner of thinking. We would like to see more analysis of the character's thought process. For example, what has caused her to retain her gullibility despite the events that have happened in her life?

- The back story is also quite brief. Though it is mentioned that her story is 'average' there are elements that seem to require more explanation. For example, how did she become 'notorious' for her behavior?

- The sample shows a lot about her behavior, mainly her fighting style, but there is very little introspection involved. We'd like to know more about her thought process when she decides to behave this brutally toward an opponent, for example.

If you wish to make a second attempt at applying, you may submit a new application after a period of one week.

Thank you once again for your interest in the game.

Thank you for your interest in the game. Your application has been reviewed and the mods would like to request revisions in the following areas:

- First note, your character as a native of this universe is a (Native) not an (OU) which would stand for characters from canon directly. For example, Grif exactly as he occurs within RvB.

- The personality needs some expansion. It is quite brief and doesn't allow the reader a glimpse into the character's manner of thinking. We would like to see more analysis of the character's thought process. For instance, what suits her to medicine? Is it a passion, a vocation, or does she do it because it satisfies something in her?

- The backstory requires more information. It tells nothing between her getting into a medical school to disappearing with no explanations. What lead to her 'disappearance.' Was that something forced upon her or something she choose? Has she attempted to contact her family? Why Adaptive? When she arrived on Adaptive, why did she go to Jimmy (it seems you may be running on an assumption of the Transponser, but that only affects non-native characters and yours is currently written as a native)? And why does she resort to mercenary work?

Feel free to ask for any clarification you may need on these topics and thank you again for your interest.

Thank you for your interest in the game. We have unfortunately decided to decline your application for the following reasons:

- The personality section contains little about the character herself beyond a propensity for cheating. The backstory does not adequately explain how she came to be qualified for a special ops team, and it is unclear what she was doing while on it.

- The sample shows a lack of familiarity with the rules. There is also much assumption about canon characters that does not necessarily reflect the source.

- Upon further discussion, the mods have amended the rules to include more information about what is considered godmodding. Including a familial or close friendship connection to a canon character would force another player to act out that connection, should that character be applied for in the future.

Thank you once again for your interest in the game. We welcome an application for another character from you in the future.
