APPLICATIΘNS

Make sure to read the Rules and FAQ prior to applying to this game. Reserves ✖ Taken Characters You can check any Box community profile or the bottom of the Latest Page to see when the app round is open. If you reply before the mods have added the "Apps are Open" comment, your app will be deleted. We also have an application queue page, which gets updated during app rounds. Applications are not processed until the last day of the application round, due to the way our new character introduction logs are set up. Characters are placed and occasionally given items in ways which encourage character relation building from the start. This means we need to know approximately how many people we have coming in so we can plan it out. ✖ Copy and paste the form below to fill out your application. ✖ Reply to this post with the application or a link to it on your journal. ✖ All comments are screened. ✖ If you want your application unscreened at any time, just let us know. ✖ The title of your reply should read: Character Name | Canon | Reserved (if reserved) Samples may be reused from previous apps or linked so long as they fit the qualifications. However, you may only link for one sample. The other must be written. Linked samples must be from within the last 12 months. <span style="font-size: larger;"><b>Player Information</b></span> <b>Player name:</b> What should we call you? <b>Contact:</b> E-mail/Aim/Plurk. Some way to reach you if we have questions. <b>Are you over 18:</b> Y/N <b>Characters in The Box Already:</b> Do you play anyone else in the game? <span style="font-size: larger;"><b>Character Information</b></span> <b>Character Name:</b> Full name, if applicable. <b>Canon:</b> The show/game/book/what have you that they're from. <b>Canon Point:</b> The point in their story you're taking them from. <b>History:</b> For characters who have a reasonable amount of information on a wiki page or character bio, a link will suffice. If the character in question is minor or does not have much information posted, you should go into more detail here. OCs will require detailed but concise written histories. <b>Personality:</b> What is your character like? What motivates them? Be thorough on this section; it's one of the ones we judge most closely. Also, be aware that while we encourage the use of canon examples to back up your statements, most of this section should be about what makes your character tick. <b>Items on your character at canon point:</b> Most items will be confiscated, especially anything that can be used as a weapon. However, you will be able to put in a request for them later. Tell us what your character has on them at their canon point so we can make sure you know what items they can keep, and what ones they can get back later. <b>Abilities:</b> We are not only looking for supernatural abilities here, but also specific skills that set this character apart. Are they a good fighter? Do they speak seven languages? Be sure to include mental abilities and skills, not just physical. <b>Strengths and Weaknesses:</b> Here, we want to know what your character's good and bad points are. Are they someone who can keep their cool in a crisis? Does blood make them faint? Are they a natural leader or a coward who runs at the first sign of danger? <span style="font-size: larger;"><b>Samples</b></span> <b>Network/Action Sample:</b> This sample must be in action form (brackets). We are looking for a minimum of 6 to 10 lines that give us an idea of how your character speaks and acts. You may link one of these, action OR prose, to samples from other places as long as they are from 12 months ago or earlier. <b>Prose Log Sample:</b> 300 word minimum. This sample must be in prose format (paragraphs, no brackets) and should show character reactions/introspection. It does not need to be in The Box setting, but it must demonstrate your character as you are apping them. You may link one of these, action OR prose, to samples from other places as long as they are from 12 months ago or earlier. As a note: Revision requests and rejections are screened for the privacy of those who apply. Apps are only unscreened if the player wishes for them to be.

Upon arrival:

Your character will find themselves waking up early on the morning of Monday, the 1st of September in the ballroom of the Castle, fully-clothed but with no other supplies from home... yet. They will have no recollection of how they came to be in this place, though all other memories will be intact.

Your character is fully mobile and able to speak, but until they're touched by another person, no one can see or hear them. It's as if they're a ghost, roaming amongst the statuesque figures they seem to share the room with. Unfortunately, there's nothing to suggest why none of the incoming rescuers seem to be able to hear their words. Your character may find themselves wondering if they might just be dead after all....


The IC Introduction Log will go up on box_logs at 11:59 PM on September 1st.

Items on Your Character:

Your character will find all personal belongings in the hallways to each side of the Ballroom. They'll find that all communications devices have been disabled or set on permanent 'Airplane Mode', and all weapons more dangerous than a non-magical kitchen knife appear to be missing. If any of your character's items have been confiscated by the Technicians, you can usually get them back by requesting them on the Resources page.

Your character will wake up with the following item in their pocket:
A key with a tag on the key ring that says "Return to Manager". Clearly someone never did.
It opens the employee area at Foodland. You can redeem the key here in order to discover what is behind the lock. But beware! Your character undertakes their search at their own personal risk.

A BRIEF NOTE:

Due to the recent wildfire, a number of pages are no longer accurate, most importantly the Housing & Businesses page and the Locations page. We are in the process of getting a new map together to reflect these topographical changes, and we're sorry for any confusion it causes! In the meantime, be sure to check out September's Bulletin and/or this post-Wildfire report for more information, and don't hesitate to ask any questions!
