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: Eugene/"Vida Boheme"
Series: To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar
Warden or Inmate: Warden
Do they meet all rules and requirements?: I believe so.
Do you think they will be active and interact with others?: This is precisely why I'd like her as a character; she's nosy, she has to be involved in the business of others, and she likes to "help". I think she'd be wildly interactive, especially when finding out that she has the task of being a warden, helping criminals rehabilitate. (In fact, she might try to help ALL of them rehabilitate...!)
Would this character be active in ports and floods, or sit out?: I can see her interacting in most floods and ports, and doing it with style.
Why do you want them?: I'm really tired of playing characters who keep to themselves, who don't interact and join in. I'd like to be able to interact with all or most of the characters on The Barge, and I think Vida would do just that.
Potential Concerns: She does have the whole transvestite issue, and in the beginning of the movie, she is very afraid of how people will treat her if they find out she's really a man. However, I feel she overcomes this obstale by the end of the film. I'd be glad to hear any other concerns, though - I'm sure there are some that you guys could present.

The first time I saw the idea for a To Wong Foo character floated, I was kinda "ehhh" because I felt it was bordering on a crack idea. However, once I thought about it and remembered the plot of the movie and whatnot, I have to say I think she'd be absolutely perfect for the game. I mean, her entire mission to help others and all makes her great Warden material, and I think she actually COULD be very beneficial, depending on who she gets. Also, I'd love to see how you do the character, as she's one I haven't seen in any game ever.

So, APP HER! Keep up TLV's (non-existent) rep of having obscure, never before played characters!

Warning, though: there are probably characters (well, soon-to-be characters like Dino Ortolani and Vern Schillinger) who will get violent on her if they find out she's really a man.

She does border on crack, doesn't she?

XD

I did take into consideration that some characters might get violent with her - but I decided that it's all part of the game; after all, any inmate could get violent with any warden. Maybe Vida will just have to hide her Adam's apple a little better? In any case, overcoming adversity is Step 2!

She's clooose to bordering on crack, but I think is a good character choice! I'm not as sure about Chichi and Noxeema (much as I love them), but I think Vida herself would be a perfect fit :D

...And I just thought about it: it's a damned shame I didn't think of apping her before the gender-swap flood.

Aww. LUCKILY, that flood will come back one day.
