Entry tags:
INITIATIVE NPC 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 JOB: Their job and duties within the Initiative. You may find a list of job options, as well as a post for setting-based questions about playing an NPC, shaping their character, or anything else you may need to know, right here.
Character HISTORY: This does not have to be a full biography! This is the section where you prove to us that you're informed enough of the setting to be able to play a character from it. We're looking for a combination of the important events of this character's life (such as what led them to learn about and then work for the Initiative, their feelings regarding their practices, mission, and the Transports, etc), and a natural weaving-in of Exsilium's setting. This is not meant to be a test, and if you have any questions about the setting, we are happy to help you better understand it on this page! This is the most important section for an NPC app, and the one we're paying the closest attention to.
Character PERSONALITY: This does not have to be as detailed as what we look for in canon and original character apps, and so we have lowered the minimum paragraph count to 2. We are still looking for fully realized and realistic characters, and you are welcome to write over 2 paragraphs if you'd like, but the emphasis of this application is on understanding of the setting.
» SAMPLES
First PERSON or Third PERSON: You may provide both First and Third person samples if you feel it demonstrates a better feel for this character's voice, but only one or the other is required. We are looking for a unique character voice here, and it is up to you whether you would like that to be descriptive prose, or a Network-style announcement or broadcast. It is also acceptable to provide First Person as a private log or diary style entry, which wouldn't be intended for other characters to see or respond to.
» ADDITIONAL NOTES
Anything else you feel is necessary.
