Mask or Menace Application - WIP
May. 27th, 2015 08:23 pm〈 PLAYER INFO 〉
NAME: What you would like to go by.
AGE: If you’re willing to share! This field is optional but please specify if you are over or under 18.
JOURNAL: If you don’t have a personal dreamwidth journal, say so!
IM / EMAIL: How we can get a hold of you.
PLURK: If you have one!
RETURNING: If you're already a member of the game, how many characters do you play and who are they? Just so we can keep track!
〈 CHARACTER INFO 〉
CHARACTER NAME: What’s your character’s given name and Superhero/Villain moniker, if applicable?
CHARACTER AGE: Approximately.
SERIES: What series are they from? e.g. Marvel 616, Naruto, Good Omens, etc.!
CHRONOLOGY: What Issue/Episode/Major Event are they coming into the RP from?
CLASS: Hero or Villain, Anti-Hero or Mass Murdering Psychopath, or just pretending to be one while really acting like the other? This is not reflective of what their tattoo will read upon their arrival.
HOUSING: Would you like to opt-in for your character to housed randomly with other roommates, or to have roommates housed with them? If not, they will be otherwise housed alone.
BACKGROUND:
What is your character’s world like? What is their role in it? In what major canon events did your character play a part, how did your character affect these events, and vice versa? If applicable, what important relationships do they have with other characters in this series? This doesn’t have to be terribly detailed, but we’d like a good picture of their canon to draw from. Please make sure you explain anything particularly series-specific or that we might not understand, and also that it’s in your own words if you are writing the history out.
You may link your history in lieu of writing the entire thing out, however we still ask you include a short summary of your character's specific role in their canon.
PERSONALITY:
What is your character like, in at least two paragraphs? What are their dreams, their fears, their motivations, their general quirks and the issues that make them who they are, and does their personality shift in any way after or before the point you are taking them from? If their personality radically shifts due to events during the point in time that you are taking them from, how is their new personality different from their normal one?
POWER:
What is/are your character’s superpower(s)? If they have abilities in their canon source, please list them here. If they do not, please create some! Every character brought into the City must have at least one power, though this may be as useful or as useless as you wish. Please indicate which abilities are canon for your character and which are not.
Additionally, each character is permitted an upper limit of three separate powers. At our discretion, we may request that you reduce, readjust, or otherwise redefine your character’s powers in order to acclimate more readily to the game setting. Characters from more Eastern-style sources are to have their powers adapted to a Western setting – for example, characters from the series “Naruto” would turn their most prominent ninjutsu into the super-powers they receive upon arriving here.
〈 CHARACTER SAMPLES 〉
COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE:
How your character will be addressing the game at large. This sample should follow the same rough format as the game proper — a first-person, text/audio/video-based, intentional post to the network community. Preferably at least a paragraph in length, this sample is to show us your character's unique voice. If you can make us laugh or outright scare the pants off us, you’re doing a good job!
LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:
The name of the game is introspection, folks. This sample will both showcase how you will play in the logs community, and how well you understand your character’s motivations, hopes, dreams, quirks, etc. This sample should be a bit longer than your first, and, again, make us cry, make us laugh, or make us never want to meet your character in a back alley and you’re doing a good job!
Additionally, these sample should also be set in-game, so we can get an idea how you will play this character in a collaborative environment.
A note: In the cases of both first person and third person samples, you may substitute one or the other (but not both) with a thread from our Test Drive meme, or failing that, a musebox. If, however, you are a returning player applying for a character that you have played previously at Mask or Menace, you are allowed to link to posts made by that character in this game.
FINAL NOTES:
Is there anything else about your character that you feel we should know, that isn't covered in any of the earlier sections? Inventory, status of health, etc? This field is optional.
