『APPLICATION』

Please note that applications are no longer necessary. You can join the game immediately by posting to the Taken Characters page, then subscribing to the main communities, and finally by adding the proper info to the Contacts page. However, if you want to use the application template as a handy reference in your character's personal journal, then by all means feel free!



Copy and paste the following into a comment on this post, fill it out, and then submit. Links to an application hosted on your DW are permitted, so long as the entry is not locked. All applications will be screened solely to the mods. Applications must be written in your own words; no links to other sites, no copying/pasting from Wikipedia or someone else's application. Plagiarism will result in immediate removal from the community.

<b>Name/Alias:</b> [What do you go by?] <b>Personal Journal:</b> [Self-explanatory] <b>E-mail:</b> [Required] <b>AIM/MSN/Other IM:</b> [Required if you have it; list which the name is for] <b>Character Name:</b> [Who are you applying for?] <b>Source:</b> [What series are they from? At what point are they being taken from this series?] <b>Genre:</b> [Would you classify the series as: mundane, paranormal, fantasy, or sci-fi? If it's a mix, please choose the genre that fits most.] <b>Personality:</b> [What is your character like? Help us get to know what makes them tick. What are their strengths? Weaknesses? Three paragraph minimum, but more is always ALWAYS better. OC's must list ten distinct traits or attributes in this section (not a bulleted list but easy to pick out of the paragraphs), including character flaws.] <b>History:</b> [Where did your character come from? What was their past like? A brief summary is acceptable for this section. If there is a sufficiently detailed wiki post, you may link to that. You may also skip this section if the character is one that the mods know very well (please ask first). If you are bringing CR over from your game, then it must be included here for it to be valid.] <b>Powers/Abilities/Unique Items:</b> [If you're bringing in an ability that is overpowered and/or can lead to godmodding, please tell us how you plan to handle this ability in the game.] <b>Physical Description (OCs only!):</b> [One paragraph minimum. Please be detailed.] <b>World/Setting Description (OCs only!):</b> [One paragraph minimum.

Do not use a private post, or a post locked to a select group/individual.] <b>Prose Sample:</b> [Please provide a 300-word minimum example of how you write this character. Use third-person, past-tense. This should solely describe the character you are applying for, and not other characters this person would interact with.]

Re: Pum-pum-pumkin-pum! I summon an application to Genessia!

If you'd like to play Blair, you're going to need do some editing, I'm afraid!

The first person sample gives a really good idea that you know what she sounds like and you've got a great list of her powers. Unfortunately, you need a few more tweaks to get the rest of the application in compliance.

Personality section has a three-paragraph minimum, so you need to expand it out a bit.

Also, your history seems a bit off. The canon point you seem to be taking her from is when Asura was initially freed, not from the end of the series. So you might want to do a bit more cleanup on that.

And the prose section is a 300-word minimum, so you'll want to add more to it.

When you've finished, just resubmit and we'll take another look!

APPROVED!

Your application is approved. Welcome to Genessia! Please join both communities, genessia and genessia_ooc, and add a comment to the Taken Page (http://genessia-ooc.livejournal.com/1010.html). After your journal has been approved to the communities, please add your contact information to the Contact Page (http://genessia-ooc.livejournal.com/494.html) (locked to members only). The stones in your character's necklace are predominantly Blue, which allows an Archway to be added to Everglade if so desired.
