applications: open

Applications will be open from 10:00 PM EST on the 1st of every month until 10:00 PM on the 7th of every month. They will be processed as quickly as possible after they are submitted; if you have not received a response by the 10th of the month, feel free to contact the mod.

Applications will be open from October 1st until December 7th, and will be processed on a first-come first-served basis.

● Please post the entirety of your application in a comment to this entry.

Applications may receive a verdict of Approved, Declined, or Revisions.

● Declined applications can be reworked and resubmitted during the next application cycle. If an application is declined 3 times, it cannot be resubmitted.
● Revisions must be submitted within 48 hours of the revision request being sent out. If this is impossible due to extenuating circumstances, please contact the mod.

● There are currently 58 Character Slots still available in the game.

● While the game is close to character cap, reserved applications will be processed before unreserved applications, with unreserved applications being processed at the end of the cycle until cap is reached.

● Application Queue: All applications that would put the game over character cap will be placed in the queue below and processed on a first-come-first-serve basis. Applications in queue will be processed as drops happen, regardless of whether the application cycle is complete.

● Casts at or close to Cast Cap: Marvel Cinematic Universe: 15/15; Marvel Comics: 12/15

application guide

● Accepted character types: fandom, original, canon AU
● Non-accepted character types: fandom OC, AU
● The character limit is 2, with 2 apps allowed per month; players can buy up to a maximum of 4 character slots with AC bonus points. There is a cast cap of 15 characters per cast at this time.
● Linked samples should be no older than 1 year.
● Application challenges are not allowed at this time, but if you would like to apply for a character that is on reserve, please submit the application with "not reserved" noted in the subject line, and your application will be considered if the reserved application is declined or not turned in.

● CLARIFICATION ADDED 04/02/2017: Applications must fit in ONE COMMENT on the application page. In special situations such as original characters or canon characters without an information link, please try to keep the summary concise and stick to major turning points. If you have been as concise as possible and it absolutely will not fit in one comment, please store the background section in an entry on your journal/musebox/website and link it to keep the application within one comment.

● CLARIFICATION ADDED 02/03/2018: The Strengths and Weaknesses sections are a stand-in for the usual personality section and should relate to the character's personality strengths and weaknesses. These sections should not include anything related to abilities and the weaknesses should not be 'positives in disguise' (for example, stating that a character has a weakness to iron because they are a fairy would not be an acceptable response to the weaknesses section, nor would stating that a character is too generous). Every character has good and bad personality traits, please include both.

● CLARIFICATION ADDED 03/10/2018: Linked samples must be from a publicly available source. Friends-locked samples are not acceptable for use (via screencaps or other methods), unless they have been unlocked and made public.

● A mod-created sample application can be found here. This is an example of a canon application. The strengths section has been filled out in bullet point form, and the weaknesses have been filled out in paragraph form - both options or a combination thereof are acceptable.

● Sample Applications: Ronan Lynch (Canon Character; Written Background), Yuuri Katsuki (Canon Character; CRAU), Derek Hale (Canon Character; CRAU), Tolemi Pagoda (Original Character), Benjamin Holt (Original Character)

● weaknesses: list at least 3 personality weaknesses your character has and elaborate on them; this section should not be more than 300 words

● job skills (optional): if you would like your character to be placed in a job to start out, list three work-related skills so they can be assigned something suitable; this is different than the abilities section, and should only be three words or very short phrases - the character will not be placed in a job if there are no traits listed here; This is something that is asked in orientation, and would be volunteered by your character.

character information
● name: Clementine
● canon: The Walking Dead (Telltale Games)
● canon point: season 3, episode 2
● age: 13

● (canon) background: Walking Dead wiki. The version of Clementine I'll be playing comes from a playthrough where the following choices were made: Lee chose to save Doug over Carley. Clementine shot Lee in order to keep him from turning, chose to help Nick instead of Pete, watched as Carver's face was bashed in, chopped Sarita's arm off, attempted to help Luke before he drowned, and shot Kenny before he could kill Jane, traveling with her to Howe's Hardware and later letting in a pleading family. Choosing this path means she has a tattoo of the letters AJ (for Alvin Jr.) on her right hand as opposed to the scar on her temple or missing ring finger that are results of the other two choices (going with Kenny or going alone).

● abilities: Clementine is from a world that would be normal except for the whole zombie apocalypse thing. And she would argue that there was nothing magical about the outbreak. It can all be explained by science, even if she doesn't understand the ins and outs of it. As such, she has no special abilities. She's fairly strong and resourceful for a thirteen year old girl and her survival skills are well honed, but that's about it.

● strengths:
MATURITY: Growing up in the atmosphere she has been means she's had to deal with certain issues a lot sooner than most her age. She can hold a relatively adult conversation about most things, and no one has to worry about what they do or say around her. She's seen it all. That also means she's better prepared to deal with difficult situations when they arise.
INTELLIGENCE: While she hasn't exactly had any real schooling since first grade, Clementine found the lessons easy then and can still learn fast now. She picks up on things and manages problem solving that might stump some adults.
SURVIVAL SKILLS: Even though she won't need to worry about zombies in this new world, there are still other dangers she'll have to deal with. She's not a fighter but she knows how to keep herself alive. She knows how to drive and she has basic knowledge of certain machines and tools, not to mention the skills needed to survive for a while without a roof over her head.
● weaknesses:
DISTANCING: Because she's lost so much already and had so many people die while taking care of her, Clementine no longer seeks out friends. She might work with others for a mutual benefit, but the fewer connections she makes the less chances she has to be hurt. This might change the longer she's in this new environment, but seeing as people can disappear from here too that's not a given.
STUBBORNNESS: While sometimes it serves her well, it can also get her in a lot of trouble. Working independently, and often being put in charge of things she shouldn't have been, Clementine will be very determined about matters when she believes she's right. She'll listen to others, and there are plenty of issues she knows she has little experience with, but when it comes to her main skills and beliefs it may take some effort to get her to budge.
ANGER: This little girl has had to deal with a lot of crap, and some of it has made her bitter. She'll get in arguments with people much older than herself if she thinks she's been slighted, and she isn't afraid to shoot someone if she feel's they deserve it. In her world there's a good chance she'd be the one shot otherwise. While a calmer environment might make keeping a calm temperament easier she still might have to yell in a few faces and flip off a few jerks that think they're big deals.

● skills (optional): I don't know if Clementine would be considered old enough to be assigned a job right off the bat. In any case, it'll be easier on her to find a source of income on her own, so no job.
● housing (optional): No preference on housing. She'll be wanting to find or rebuild her own place eventually anyway.

● network username: c.d. (Clementine isn't given a last name in the series but she's known for always wearing a hat with the letter D on it given to her by her father.)

● network sample: ryslig network thread

● prose/action sample: riverview test drive meme
