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: Saffron
Series: Firefly
Warden or Inmate: Inmate definitely
Do they meet all rules and requirements?: Yep
Do you think they will be active and interact with others?: Yes, she's a definite people person/manipulator.
Would this character be active in ports and floods, or sit out?: I think she would totally be active. I don't think she'd be one to sit indoors when she could be doing stuff to help benefit herself.
Why do you want them?: She's also a character I played in the Firefly rpg I mentioned in the Jayne post. I didn't get to play her as much as I would've liked and I think she'd be a fun addition to the Inmate crowd. She's manipulative and cunning. Will play anybody to get what she's wants. She's trained to beguile men (and sometimes women when the need arises) which would be very fun to see how she'd get along with some of the other Inmates.
Potential Concerns: If I'd really get her voice down, since it's been a long while since I played her last. But I think if I watch the eps she's in, I can swing it.

While I think Saffron would be a lovely character to have if played well (so definite episode rewatching!), we do have a couple similar characters already (like Elle from Heroes).

As Mal, it would be a fun dynamic and they would constantly be at odds. Enjoyable but, to be honest, I'd pick Jayne or Spike before Saffron. :3

Good to know. :)
