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.

<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>

Re: Rose Tyler 2/3

[evy-carnahan.livejournal.com]

History: Before Rose met the Doctor she was working as a shop assistant at Henrik's department store in Regent Street, London. She lived a fairly normal if not predictable life, until she met the Doctor and Henrik's was destroyed.

From that moment on Rose was thrown into a world aliens and travelling through time and space and along the way she discovered that travelling with the Doctor was anything but predictable as she was thrown into danger after danger on a regular basis. But she never shunned away from this new way of life, instead she thrived on it.

Soon the Doctor, Jack Harkness and Rose found themselves aboard a space station attacked by thousands of Daleks. Fearing for Rose life the Doctor tricked Rose into entering the TARDIS which he had rigged to send her back home to her mum. Refusing to just forget about her best friends who were fighting for their lives in the distant future, Rose convinced both Jackie and Mickey to help her open the heart of the TARDIS so she could talk it into taking her back to help them.

Looking into the heart of the TARDIS (the time vortex) resulted with Rose consuming the vortex energy, giving her control of the universe itself. She became Bad Wolf. She and the TARDIS returned to the Doctor, who was just about to be exterminated, and using her newfound powers she reduced the entire Dalek fleet into dust and brought Jack (who had been previously exterminated) back to life. However, no one should ever look into the time vortex, and so much power was killing her. Luckily the Doctor extracted the vortex energy with a kiss, sacrificing his ninth regeneration. Before Rose's very eyes he regenerated into the tenth Doctor.

Rose at first found it difficult to come to terms with the Doctor's transformation but when he saved her life (and the rest of the world) from the Sycorax, she was finally convinced that this strange-looking man was truly the Doctor.

The pair continued to travel through time and space, growing closer than ever before. Her attitude changed from an awe-struck passenger to an experienced time-traveller. However their fun and games came crashing down when they landed on the impossible planet where the Devil itself was trapped. It taunted Rose with promises that she would die in battle and though she managed to push those scary thoughts aside for some time. These promises soon become a reality when the pair stumbled across Torchwood.

The world soon found itself caught in the middle of a war against the Daleks and the Cybermen. The Doctor figured out a way to trap both sides in the Void between their world and a parallel world (Pete's world), but in doing so Jackie, Mickey and Rose were left stranded in the other universe.

Devastated, Rose tried to get on with her life but soon found herself having strange dreams where the Doctor would call to her. Following those dreams she found herself in Norway and a beach called Bad Wolf Bay. The Doctor managed to project an image of himself through the last crack between the two realities so they could share a tearful goodbye.

Believing that she could never see the Doctor again, Rose tried to move on with her life but even to this day she struggles to do so.

Sample Journal Entry: [5-10 Sentences]
It was sort of odd when I first got here but I’ve been adapting as best as I can so far. Some days it’s harder than others with Inmates moving in and out of here like a revolving door. But I know that I just have to stick with it, despite how it can get sometimes. I have to. I made a promise a long time ago and I plan to keep it. I have to see him again.

Sample RP: [3-5 paragraphs, 3rd Person POV]

The chilly sea breeze whipped at her hair, clothes, as she sat crouched on the sand looking out at the crashing waves with red, swollen eyes. Two hours had come and gone since he disappeared with his fading form and words and here she was still in her grief. It just wasn't fair. Saving universes and worlds countless of times and this was her reward? Stuck in a world that she wasn't from, while being nothing more than a ghost in the one she was originally from. It wasn't right. Oh the universe was cruel. She didn't bother to glance back, knowing it would only draw either her mum or Mickey back from the jeep and that's one of the last things she intended to deny herself. Comfort, words. It would only be useless. Hanging her head, a sigh escaped her lips as her eyes closed for a moment taking in the ocean breeze, trying to hear his voice against the wind. A hint of something, but it was futile. She had to face the truth. "He's not coming back..." She said to herself, dejectedly, her voice almost cracking.

Deciding she had been there long enough, Rose got to her feet wiping the last remaining tears away and turned back to face her new family just a few feet away. With as utterly broken up as she felt, deep inside Rose knew that she have to go on and try to have that fantastic life that the Doctor had once told her to lead, when all hope had been lost the first time around. It would be difficult, but she'd keep on trying for him, for the hope that perhaps one day a small spark of hope would present itself again.

The following day, she found herself back at Torchwood, facing her desk. It was an attempt to get back into the normalcy of things, or as normal as they were before. "Right...let's see what we have today." She tucked a loose strand of hair back against her ear and started to go through the various case files that were on her desk. Working like this would make things easy or so she hoped.
