TLV - Potential Application Discussion (Old Form)
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.
no subject
Series: X-Men
Warden or Inmate: Warden
Do they meet all rules and requirements?: ...um. See 'concerns'.
Do you think they will be active and interact with others?: He would be shy at first but I think once he got to know people who didn't hunt him, yeah, more of his swashbuckling side might show through
Would this character be active in ports and floods, or sit out?: Absolutely.
Why do you want them?: I might possibly be dropping Jim (for a variety of reasons) so Kurt would in a way take his place. And really, Kurt is just a fun character in general.
Potential Concerns: This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/Yuna5/nightcrawlerHold.jpg) and this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/Yuna5/nctopless.jpg). He's not a demon, just looks like one. Already I know he'll have the image inducer which will give him the illusion of someone 'normal' - example (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/Yuna5/alancumming.jpg) - for ports and such. And he'd wear it if anyone is nervous around him. But I wouldn't want him with it at all times, y'know?

... Besides, it'd get some mighty variety on barge, and I think the interactions between him and Gabriel could be really interesting. D:
With an image inducer, I think your concerns are pretty much covered, no?
IDK. :c
no subject
Plus, he's just a fun character, so I think he'll be a joy to have around! And I know you wanted to app him before, way back when, so in short: go for it! Don't worry about the image inducer ;)

It'll be fiiiine.
