ORIGINAL APPLICATION

» PLAYER INFORMATION
Player NAME: Your name or your nickname, or what you would prefer to be called.
Current AGE: If you would like to disclose; this is optional.
Player TIME ZONE: So that other players will know when they can contact you, if you'd like to provide it!
Personal JOURNAL: Your personal Dreamwidth journal.
IM & SERVICE: Your preferred instant messaging service and your username.
Player PLURK: Your plurk account, if you would like to provide it.
Current CHARACTERS: Any characters that you already have in-game.

» CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character NAME: Your character's name.
Character PULL-POINT: The point in your character's life and experiences from which you are taking them.
Character AGE: Your character's approximate age.
Character ABILITIES: Any abilities that your character may already possess.
Character WORLD: Tell us about the world your character is from! If it's a completely modern, realistic world with no changes from our own, then this won't be a very long section. But otherwise, tell us about where they're from, how it differs from our world, and especially about how they fit into it.
Character HISTORY: This is where we would like you to summarize your character's personal history and the major events that have affected them.
Character PERSONALITY: This is where you'll describe your character's personality. It is important to focus on your character's motivations and their goals, as well as their behavior in any given situation and their interactions with others. We would like a minimum of four full-length paragraphs, as this is easily the most important aspect of your character.

» EXSILIUM INFORMATION
Chosen WEAPON: Upon arriving in Exsilium, your character will be given the option to choose a weapon from a wide array of weaponry, or bring in a weapon from their canon. Please tell us what your character's chosen weapon will be, whether it is from their canon or if they're choosing it from the Initiative armory, and how it will evolve through your character's time in the game. For example, if your character has inherent magic or a special ability, you might pick that and explain specifically how it will grow stronger over time. Or it might be a physical weapon, like a sword, which could come to shift to different shapes and sizes to match the situation. It might even be an innocuous-seeming object, like a spyglass, that could evolve to grant the user different sight-based abilities. We're very open to creative weaponry and evolution!
Character INVENTORY: Let us know here what your character will be bringing into the game! They can have everything on them that they're wearing, and anything that's in their pockets or a backpack or bag that they'd had at the time of being pulled into game.

» PREVIOUS GAME INFORMATION ( IF APPLICABLE )
Previous GAME(s): Please tell us which game (or games) your character will be coming into Exsilium from.
Previous GAME SETTING(s): We'd like to see a short blurb here that explains the setting of the game (or games) that your character is coming in from. It doesn't need to be that long, but we'd like to know the short of it: the premise, the plot, and what the world was like there.
Previous GAME CR: Here is where we would like to know which characters (canonmates and otherwise) your character will be remembering upon their entrance to Exsilium. PLEASE REMEMBER that you MUST have permission from the players in game who play these canonmates to remember their character--other players must opt-into allowing your character to recognize them and their memories.
Your character's DEVELOPMENT: This is the most important part of this section, so we are looking for thoroughness! Please give us an idea of the events that occurred in your character's previous game memories and what effect that has had on their personality; what changes have occurred that would make your character different from their canon interpretation? What effect will this have on canonmates, and why? This should be a minimum of two paragraphs.

» SAMPLES
First PERSON: We would like to see an example of how your character will interact with the network using voice, video or text and addressing the network in the first-person. This should be a minimum of 4 sentences, but may be longer. Those 4 sentences must be spoken dialogue. Links to previous posts and threads with this character may be provided if you are an existing player in game. If you are new to Exsilium, please provide newly written samples.
Third PERSON: We would like to see a prose example of your character's actions within the setting of Exsilium. It can be their arrival, or something set a few days, weeks, or months down the road into their stay. What we are looking for here is their own personal motivations, their thoughts, and their personal introspection. Must be a minimum of two full-length paragraphs. Links to previous posts and threads with this character may be provided if you are an existing player in game (if the sample is linked, there is no need for it to be set within Exsilium). If you are new to Exsilium, please provide newly written samples.
As of March 2013, the Third Person sample may now be linked from the Test Drive Meme, whether you're a new or current player.
