TLV - Character Applications (OLD FORM)

[bargemods]

CHARACTER APPLICATIONS
Applications are CLOSED until 12:01 p.m., January 1, 2011.
[0 out of 20] total app slots filled.


Application Periods are held for the first full week of every month.


ETA 2/1/11: Please note that the guidelines for applications have been revised; we now expect at least five solid paragraphs for the personality section of applications. The application form has been revised to reflect this. Also, as of February 2011, we will only allow THREE APPLICATIONS PER FANDOM IN ONE APP CYCLE. This means that if one fandom receives three applications during application week, any additional applications for that fandom will not be accepted and will need to wait until the following application cycle.


Please read all rules and guidelines before submitting an application. Be sure to check the Taken Characters List and the Retired Characters List before posting an application here.

NOTES:

1. We are no longer accepting apps for fandoms that are less than a month old. If you're unsure about something-- such as an episodic fandom-- please ask the mods for clarification.
   
   
2. Trade-In Apps: Current players have the option of trading in a current character for a new one. Trade-In Apps will NOT count against the App Slots, so even if all slots are full, you can still trade-in for a new character. However, bear in mind that trade-in apps are not guaranteed approval for your character. If your trade-in application is rejected, you don't have to drop the character you were willing to trade in.
   
   
3. In the interest of keeping a balanced and diverse cast list, we are presently not accepting applications from the following fandoms, due to a high volume of characters present in the game already. This list is subject to change, so please don't think it means you can never apply for a character in these fandoms!
   No fandoms are capped at present.
   Applications for members of all other large casts are accepted on a case by case basis.
   
   
4. New characters will not be accepted unless your existing ones are reliably meeting the activity requirements. This also applies if you have just come off hiatus; you need to demonstrate for two weeks that you are suitably active with existing characters before apping a new one or it will be rejected without reading it.
   
   
5. As of February 2011, we will only allow THREE APPLICATIONS PER FANDOM IN ONE APP CYCLE. This means that if one fandom receives three applications during application week, any additional applications for that fandom will not be accepted and will need to wait until the following application cycle.

APPLICATION FORM

<b>User Name/Nick:</b> <b>User LJ:</b> <b>AIM/IM:</b> <b>E-mail:</b> <b>Other Characters:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Series:</b> <b>Age:</b> [This is important; it doesn't seem likely that a 12 year old would be a warden, for instance.] <b>From When?:</b> [At what point in their timeline were they brought aboard the Barge? Inmates must have just died or were about to die.] <b>Inmate/Warden:</b> [Choose one and say why they're this way. Wardens--Why does the Admiral think your character would be useful as a warden here? What do they bring to the table? Regardless of their good/evil/neutral motiviations, do they have the capacity to help an inmate achieve graduation? Inmates--What does your character still need to change about themselves? How can working with a warden on the Barge help them?] <b>Item:</b> [Wardens Only -- What Gives you Your Information While Here? Examples -- a compass, a book, a palm pilot, a tarot card, etc.] <b>Abilities/Powers:</b> [Remember that Inmates will have reduced powers] <b>Personality:</b> [Please write at least 5 solid paragraphs. The more depth and detail, the better! Keep in mind that other players will use this section to determine if your character is a good match for potential Warden/Inmate pairings, and this may be their first exposure to your character. You might also include how they are going to react to the Barge. Please write this in complete sentences, and in paragraphs as you would in any normal area of the application. Do not divide into sections and label each with adjectives. This makes it seem choppy and harder to read.] <b>Path to Redemption:</b> [(INMATES ONLY) Please outline possible ways a Warden can get through to them, possible triggers, methods, motives for them to change. This section can serve to give Warden players some idea of which route to take in working with your Inmate. While we don't expect every Inmate to become redeemed, they have to AT LEAST have potential for it. Irredeemable Inmates are not acceptable.] <b>History:</b> <b>Sample Journal Entry:</b> [5-10 sentences, 1st Person POV] <b>Sample RP:</b> [3-5 paragraphs, 3rd Person POV] <b>Special Notes:</b>
