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.

lawl non-existant account!

Don't know either but somehow I have a good vibe feeling from Begbie - like he'd fit more on the Barge. About the fights, I guess an ooc post would help with that? Like 'would you mind if he punched your character in the face without warning LOL'? That's a concern I have with Luigi as he's sooo angry ALL THE TIME so yeah that's one of my issues also.

Re: rehabilitation - wellll... all depends on the angle you take the character from? See, I'm of the opinion that no person is 100% evil or 100% good. If there's a chance for corruption, then there's a chance for reformation. IF THAT MAKES SENSE, IDK :\\\

Re: Albie - Could always make up a death? Some random police person kills him? Again, no clue about the canon, so just throwing suggestions out. Aside from self-threading being an issue, 2 and 3 seem like basic research things, yeah?

In short, I know you're a great writer no matter which character you're doing. (least helpful post ever, sorry)

Well, the character's problem isn't that he's 'evil' or 'corrupt' in like, the typical sense of film/literature/etc. But the fact of the matter is, he IS supposed to be a genuine sociopath, which means that unless he had an extremely attentive and skilled Warden, he won't make any progress and stay true to the character-- which means I'd either have to make him go OOC or have him kinda stagnate as "the Barge's jerk," the latter of which would get kinda boring for me after a while.

SO, I'm probably gonna go with Albie. He does have a near-death moment in the episode, but if I take him from there I lose out on the huge characterization breakthrough that comes later. Sooo I'll figure something out there.
