APPLICATIONS

APPS ARE CLOSED. AND WILL BE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Please post all apps in the comments! They will be screened after acceptance, unless there are HARD SPOILERS, such as if the game hasn't been released in english, or deaths/plot twists/other spoilers would ruin everyone's day. In these cases, please link the app, and mention Spoilers, so that we are forewarned.

Apps will open on Sundays at midnight AEST, and stay open until Friday 8PM AEST. Apps received after this will not be judged until next app cycle, so please double check the time! There are plenty of international clocks on the internet to help you with this.

Please use the form below to apply. Please do not apply for any characters on the Taken or Reserved pages unless you made the reserve.
AT THE MOMENT, THERE IS NO SEPARATE FORM FOR OCs AND CANON OCs.

<b>ooc</b> Name: Your nickname! Age: We trust that you're 15 and over if you're applying here. Personal LJ: Please no sock puppets! Timezone: Where in the world are you? Please mention if you have daylight saving! Other Contact Method: Email, Plurk, AIM - any way we can get in contact with you would be lovely. Current Characters: What it says on the tin. <b>character</b> Canon: Name: First Name Last Name order, please! Age: Actual canon age, as well as a description of physical age if they look older (or younger!) than they are. Canon Point: The point at which you take your character. For episodic canons, please list both the number and the title of the episode or chapter. For movies, please list the point you’re taking them from in a sentence or two. For example, John Doe is coming from just after he buys the box of chocolates. Canon Resource Links: We will accept wiki links for character’s history and background – unless your series isn’t translated into English/is massively obscure, you won’t have to write a ridiculously complex history. Personality: We’re looking for around 200-300 words here. We’d like to see that you have a good understanding of what makes your character <i>tick</i>, their motives, how they've grown and developed through the course of their canon. Abilities: We're looking for two parts to this section. One is not compulsory, and that is what kind of powers does your character have? Magic, a mutation? Please be aware that these particular powers <i>will</i> be taken away upon arrival. The second - and mandatory section - is Strengths & Weaknesses. What is your character scared of? What are they particularly good at? Life skills, and the things they could use a little help with. <b>game</b> Totem: Whether it be made of stone, metal, bone or wood, this little item allows them to access the dream world, and to retain their free will. A rough guide is to use the top joint of your thumb as a size reference. Items: Your character is allowed to bring with them three items. A suggestion is a weapon, a change of clothes, and one personal effect. Please note that guns must be pistols, and come with only one extra clip of ammunition. Bows may come with a quiver of up to twelve arrows. Only one sword/melee weapon may be brought, but if a character uses more than one, they may use their other two slots to bring along extra weapons. There are no chargers for technology, and there are no wireless networks, telephone transmitters, or radio transmitters, but they may bring them if they wish. Powers: This section is only for those characters WITHOUT powers. What power would you like your character to have? Whether it's the ability to breathe water, communicate with animals, or fly, it's all up to you. They can be as trivial as you want, although we may ask you to tone down potential powers if they are overly strong/gamebreaking. Of course, if you don't want to give your perfectly normal human powers, you don't have to! Sample One: This is designed to take place after they've been in game for a while. You can use [Action spam brackets] or straight prose, but we'll be wanting to see about eight sentences worth here - we want to be able to get a handle on the character's voice, how they'd communicate with others, etc. Sample Two: This is a dream post, similar to what a "communicator" post would be in other games. It can be visual, auditory or even text - the possibilities. We want to try and get a feel for their inner workings and thought processes. You do not have to use the setting of Tropic, in fact you can use pretty much anything you like, as it is indeed a dream. Please do not use previous game posts or dear_mun posts, as we want this to be original.

Thank you for apping!
