POTENTIAL APPLICATION DISCUSSION

Thinking about applying for a character, but not quite sure if they're a good fit? This post is dedicated to discussion of that very thing! A jury of your peers will help you in deciding whether or not a character you suddenly have a hankering for would be a fit for the Barge!

THIS IS NOT COMPULSORY. Nobody HAS to participate, and nobody HAS to post here before they post an application! This is just for people who are unsure and would like to have a discussion before they apply.

However, there are some rules.

1. Mods are the final decision makers. So, a lot of people love your character? Got great feedback? But then-- whaaaat?-- you post your app and it's REJECTED? GASP! Sorry, approval here does NOT substitute mod approval. Do NOT use this thread as basis for whining at the mods if your character is rejected. If you do, this thread is getting shut down. (PS: This rule applies EVEN IF ONE OF THE MODS GIVES YOU GOOD FEEDBACK IN THIS THREAD)
2. No content-less posts. I don't want to see any "OMG YES!" or any "HELL NO"s. You have to provide reasons. This post is for constructive discussion.
3. No flaming. This kinda goes with the above. If you think the character is fine but the player can't pull it off, BE CONSTRUCTIVE and don't insult the player.
4. BE HONEST. Speaks for itself. You think a character would be a terrible fit? Then don't say "Oh, it'll be wonderful!"
5. No plotting. A lot of times, people get all excited about making up plots for characters who aren't even in the game yet (and who MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED), leaving those who are in the game with nothing to do with... well, nothing to do. It's distracting and the excitement over "what-ifs" diverts too much from the actual game.
6. Don't take this personally. You do not equal your (potential) character. If everybody thinks it's a lousy character who wouldn't fit, it's NOT an attack on you or your RPing.

Put the character's name as the subject line (ONE CHARACTER PER COMMENT), and be sure to fill out the following form. Yes, some of the questions seem stupid, but these are things we'd like you to keep in mind BEFORE you apply for a character.

HAVE FUN.

Character Name: Ichabod Crane
Series: Sleepy Hollow (film)
Warden or Inmate: Warden. He's too much a rigid goodie for Inmate.
Do they meet all rules and requirements?: Yes.
Do you think they will be active and interact with others?: His curiosity would get the better of his fears, so in short yes.
Would this character be active in ports and floods, or sit out?: Yup on both.
Why do you want them?: Another muse of old. The duality of his character is quite amusing. Ichabod is a very straight-laced, no frills, The Truth Matters! detective... whilst at the same time prone to fainting, arachniphobia, and in general acting like a teenaged girl. The idea that his mother might've been a witch could also be interesting.
Potential Concerns: Amsuing in the film, but I'm not sure how well he'd fit. His phobias can be almost one-note, kind of lulzy traits. Ichabod might also be too much like Sam, I worry.

I think Ichabod would be a great Warden if (it's been a long time since I've seen the movie) you think he could handle the "reformer"/"quasi-therapist" part of the job description XD As it is, I would personally love it if Sam had a kindred spirit here! But anyway, those lulzy traits of his shouldn't be too much of a problem, as you'll be given a chance to explore him in greater depth! Personally, of the three characters you've put up, he looks like the most fun to me!

Coming from someone who plays a character with phobias (granted, over-exagerrated and ridiculous), it's really difficult to always be on the ball with it, and can be really frustrating, especially when you want to do one thing, but your character can't because...oh no! Heights! Spiders! Milk!

If you think you could keep up with it, then I say go for it! :)
