『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.

I think you have a great grasp of the character, it really shows in your samples! However, there are a few things that need revision before we can accept the application.

First, please include the character's history, particularly in how he has impacted the world he lives in and the other characters from this source. Even though his beginnings are mysterious, he's definitely been a busy bee throughout the games he's appeared in.

I feel that his personality could use a little expansion as well. Though he doesn't have much depth, there are a few characters he views in different ways (i.e. Rose, Cammy, Ryu). By describing how he thinks about certain people and what he plans to do, I think it would better flesh him out.

Lastly, the prose sample is too short. It should be at least 300 words to be acceptable.

Please make the necessary changes and resubmit your application at your earliest convenience. We look forward to having this guy in the game!
