Application
To apply, please fill out this form and submit it in the comments:

OOC

Name:

Age: [Players must be at least 15]

Timezone:

Reserve link: [Reserves are mandatory.]

Password: [The two halves of the password can be found in the Rules and FAQ.]

OOC contact: [Plurk and Discord are preferred. Please try to include some kind of chat option if you don’t have a plurk so we can contact you for plot things.]


IC

Name + Username: [Your character's name and the username you intend to play them with. If you have an icon mule/alternate outfit/persona account, declare that account name here as well if you want to use it at some point in the round.

Age: [Characters must be at minimum 15 in human years at their true canon point. In the case of canons with exceptionally heavy elements, we will allow a character's presumed canon point (the canon point that they wake up initially thinking that they're at) to be no lower than 13.]

Canon point: [There is no memory loss in this game, so just let us know when your character is from.]

History: [Wiki links welcome. If you don't feel the wiki has sufficient information or doesn't exist, just write up a brief synopsis for your character's history. It doesn't have to be long, just give us a general idea of what they've been through.]

Regains: [Please list 5-10 items belonging to or associated with your character, along with a brief (think: Twitter-length) description of each one as you want it to be described on the Benefactors Page. Note: All characters will wake up in the clothes they were wearing at their canon point, and will be provided one additional set of apprentice robes for convenience. Any spare outfit or clothes from home (including accessories and jewelry, but not including medical aids like glasses or soul gems, which would be allowed to stay on the person) must be listed as a regain. Weapons and pets are regainable within reason (pets must be size medium or smaller, you can regain a sword but not a bioweapon, etc.)]

Strengths & weaknesses: [This is the important part. We want you to make this as detailed as you would a personality section on any other app.]

Skills & abilities: [Upon acceptance characters will be assigned a title based on the one thing that makes your character stand head and shoulders above all others in their canon. Think of it this way: if your character was selected specifically out of everyone in their canon, what would it be that made them memorable enough to notice? This does not have to be a focal point of the source material, as long as it is a distinct and noticeable trait.

Examples: Legolas could be The Marksman or The Trick Shot. Magnus Burnsides could be The Friend to Animals. Kingston Brown could be The Vox Populi.

We encourage you to come up with your own titles if you have ideas and use this section to justify them to us. More questions? Please review the Appability section of the FAQ.]

Motives: [What are some things that are important to your character? What would motivate them to kill? People/material goods/power/secrets, anything. This is so we can tailor the weekly motives to things characters would possibly commit murder over.]

Third Person Sample: [Show us how your character would interact with the setting. This can be them plotting a hypothetical murder, being the victim of a hypothetical murder or just exploring. The choice is yours. This can also be two samples from the Test Drive meme, with a minimum of 20 comments total from your character.]

Plot Involvement

Would you be okay with your character being a mole?: [The Mastermind reserves the right to employ a mole through sinister means to perform their dirty work if the killing game becomes too boring.

If you want your character to work for the Mastermind, but your character wouldn’t be so excited about it, please use this section to give us some recruitment ideas. This doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be picked to be the mole, but it helps the mods in the event that we choose to employ one.]

Do you have a case you want to volunteer for?: [If you want to volunteer for the first case, or if you have a specific week you want to volunteer for, tell us here! If circumstances change and you need to volunteer later, you will still be able to contact the moderators to volunteer, but keep in mind that cases are rolled two weeks in advance (Case 1 is rolled at game start, Case 2 is rolled at the end of week 1, etc), so if you wait to volunteer you may not be able to get your first choice in case.]




Any questions should be PMed to this account or contact [plurk.com profile] frickninja, and/or [plurk.com profile] ResplendentRi.
