APPLICATION WITH HTML
<u><b>[PLAYER INFO]</u></b> <b>NAME:</b> How you would like to go by. <b>AGE:</b> If you’re willing to share! This field is optional. <b>JOURNAL:</b> If you don’t have a personal dreamwidth journal, say so! <b>IM:</b> How we can get a hold of you. <b>PLURK:</b> If you have one! <b>E-MAIL:</b> How we can reach you when the above don’t work. <b>RETURNING:</b> 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! <b><u>[CHARACTER INFO]</u></b> <b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> What’s your character’s given name and Superhero/Villain moniker, if applicable? <b>SERIES:</b> What series are they from? e.g. Marvel 616, Naruto, Good Omens, etc.! <b>CHRONOLOGY:</b> What Issue/Episode/Major Event are they coming into the RP from? <b>CLASS:</b> Hero or Villain, Anti-Hero or Mass Murdering Psychopath, or just pretending to be one while really acting like the other? <b>BACKGROUND:</b> 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. <b>PERSONALITY:</b> What is your character like, in at least two paragraphs? What are their dreams, their fears, 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 they are from a different or alternate universe, or 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? <b>POWER:</b> 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. <b><u>[CHARACTER SAMPLES]</u></b> <b>COMMUNITY POST (VOICE) SAMPLE</b>: How your character will be addressing the game at large. This sample should follow the same rough format as Cape&Cowl proper — a first-person, text/audio/video-based, intentional post to an internet community. Preferably more than 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! <b>LOGS POST (PROSE) SAMPLE:</b> 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, this 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, we do NOT accept links to samples written at other games. If, however, you are a returning player applying for a character that you have played previously at Cape&Cowl, you are allowed to link to posts made by that character in this game. <b>FINAL NOTES:</b> 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.
