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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character Name: Darth Sideous/Emperor Palpatine
Series: 'Star Wars'
Warden or Inmate: Inmate
Do they meet all rules and requirements?: Yes.
Do you think they will be active and interact with others?: Very.
Would this character be active in ports and floods, or sit out?: Often.
Why do you want them?: Extremely manipulative, charming and yet has a wonderful expressively evil quality. Plus, it would be very interesting to see the dynamic which could play out with certain other characters from their own reality.
Potential Concerns: Without any Force abilities, he'd just be an old guy in a robe! Probably intelligent enough to choose his battles wisely, however, but my concern would be in whether that would be enough to gain the right creative mileage for them.

I think Palpatine's greatest potential as an inmate would be his ability to work as a sort of mastermind behind creating dissent and conflict across the Barge. However, given the specific... ego types of a lot of Inmates (and some Wardens), I don't know how successful he'd be.

But he'd certainly have a great impact on the more naive/malleable characters!

I sort of love this idea lol. And I never see him as just the old guy in the robe. Even without the Force he could manipulate.

And with Jacen on the road to redemption having another Sith around could be interesting, especially the one that broke his family lol :D

Palpy! I think he'd be a very interesting addition. :)
