|
Player
Name: What would you like to be called?
Username: ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) username
Current/former characters: Are you already in the game? Were you here before?
Sleeper
Character: The character's name goes here, obviously.
Username: username
Canon: What series is your character from? If an original character, feel free to come up with a fake canon name to be listed on the taken page, while also listing "original". Mark AUs here.
Canon point: Where in their story do they come from?
Age: Tell us how old they are. If your character's age would be altered upon acceptance into the game, make sure to note that you are changing it here, and what their new age will be.
Appearance: Height, build, hair and eye colors, demeanor, even a general fashion sense if you want. Tell us what we would see if we took a glance at your character.
Personality: The meat of the application! This should be around four solid paragraphs describing who your character is, both inside and out. We want to make sure you understand the character and will play them accurately to the setting.
If you'd like, you can also include a paragraph on how you see them reacting to the game environment.
History: Your character's life. You may link to a wiki here, but we would love to hear your own take on it! This is nearly as important as personality, as we will be using both sections to compare to the City history and make sure it's appropriate.
Powers/skills: Be sure to explain how they'll be changed or powered down in the case of non-humans turning human or those who are overpowered.
Characters who are canonically powerless may pitch to gain a power here. All new powers need to enhance an aspect the character already has, whether it relates to their personality or lifestyle, and you will have to explain how you believe it fits with this requirement.
Skills gives us a better idea of what this character is good at in mundane terms, so that we can help with a City position if you're coming up blank.
City
Name: This shouldn't allude to their canon name.
Position: Profession or other pigeonholing as necessary. Basically, "What laws do they abide by?" for us mods to consider. This will tell us what job the character will be assigned in the Cave, as well.
History: Two paragraphs minimum, but this section doesn't need to be very long. You can contact the mods to work with us on this. Absolutely needs to relate to the character in some way or another. Ironic placement, while fun, would not work for the setting. Any powers they may have in the Cave will not be present in this history.
Remember that you need permission if you plan to include other PCs in this history.
Proof: This is what will be waiting for a character in their living quarters when they first wake up in the Cave. It should be a photo, a voice clip, a video, etc., anything that would feature the Sleeper in a way that could be recognized. An item that would make a very solid case for your character living in the Diamond City before the Disaster.
Playing
First-person sample: (Should be at least 5 or 6 sentences. Links allowed: 15 comments minimum. If AU, samples must be of the same AU.)
Third-person sample: (At least 300 words. Links allowed. If AU, samples must be of the same AU.)

Inspector Cabanela // Ghost Trick 1/2
Name: Nin
Username:
Current/former characters: n/a
Sleeper
Character: Inspector Cabanela
Username: [Bad username or unknown identity: ”whitecoatguy"]
Canon: Ghost Trick
Canon point: Chapter 15
Age: late 30s/early 40s
Appearance: Suave and cocky, Cabanela dresses like how he acts. He dances when he moves, showing off constantly, and wears mostly white save for his long red scarf and black shoes.
Personality: Cabanela is a smug, suave man. He’s cocky and self-assured, willing to do whatever it takes to finish a case and to make sure that he “wins”. His white coat is a symbol of his spotless record, and he wears it with pride. He’s not all talk or all act, however; he has the track record to back up his attitude, and people who know him know that despite the outrageous manner in which he acts, he knows what he’s doing. He’s outrageous and he’s self assured, and this is not an act— he really is that much of an ass. When he enters a room, he tends to do so in the most grandiose manner possible; very often, he is dancing. By his own admission, he’s a “crazy character in a white coat.” He drawls out his words and nicknames nearly everyone he comes across “baby”.
Despite being a bit on the arrogant side at times, he is very much aware that there are much bigger things at stake. He puts himself in the middle of things mostly because he is one of the only people to have almost entirely figured things out. He doesn’t want his friend to be executed, and he wants to be able to protect Lynne. Not only that, but he blames himself for how things turned out as he was the one who left his gun behind while interrogating a suspect, thus making the entire sequence of events happen.
However, under the boisterous personality is the mind of a serious detective. He’ll do anything to chase down the truth and get to the bottom of a case. He has a seriousness to him that can be downright weird in contrast to his normally boisterous and playful self. He has spent the last ten years researching and trying to track down the Manipulator with the help of the “Pigeon Man” in order to prove that his friend and rival Jowd was not actually responsible for the murder of his wife.
Though protective of Jowd, he has to be so in a way that doesn’t break the law— after Sissel helps Jowd escape, Cabanela is the one to corner him again. Though without knowing the full story, it looks bad, but Cabanela does genuinely care about Jowd. He rushed through promotions in effort to be able to find out the truth behind Temsik and thus save Jowd. Letting an escaped criminal go would not help Jowd’s situation any, so he had to make sure that Jowd was let go legally. He had already prepared for this, too, of course since he fully believed in Jowd’s innocence from the beginning. He’s just that confident.
A stain on his record would make things very difficult for his investigation, so he can appear very ruthless, and he isn’t about to admit why he’s doing things because for all of this investigation he’s doing, he really doesn’t have any proof. And even the slightest blotch on his record could get him thrown out of the Special Investigation Unit and thus end his hunt for the Manipulator.
He is also incredibly protective of Lynne, the little girl who was held hostage by Yomiel ten years ago and grew up to be a detective. Though he calls almost everyone he meets “baby”, he seems to mean it especially for Lynne Though it can appear somewhat flirty, he more than likely means it in a much more innocent but silly way. He’s more like her eccentric uncle who likes to tease and embarrass her by calling her by a childhood nickname and showering her with gifts.
History: http://ghosttrick.wikia.com/wiki/Cabanela
Powers/skills: Cabanela is canonically powerless. However, as a Sleeper, he will be gaining a power to teach almost anyone he meets to be able to dance almost immediately. Quite a useful power, as far as he’s concerned. This power fits with him because Cabanela, when he isn’t being serious, is all about having an outrageous entrance and most of all loves to dance.
In terms of skills, he is a brilliant detective and a fairly snappy dancer.
Inspector Cabanela // Ghost Trick 2/2
Name: Dillon Hays
Position: Head of security at a local business firm
History: Dancing extraordinaire, most people who knew him were surprised when Dillon decided to go down the path of security, but it fit him well enough. Dillion was serious enough when he needed to be, though he didn’t often show it. He was When he didn’t work, he still danced all the time and spent many weekends at clubs with his security team, clumsily teaching his men (and ladies) how to dance with style with minimum results. Though a lousy teacher, his team still adored him and Dillion enjoyed working with them, turning down opportunities for promotions in order to remain with them.
As the head of security, Dillon never managed to gain any sort of reputation beyond that of the people he worked with, that was something that privately upset him, but for the sake of his security team, he never really let on about it. He did have something of a reputation for his dancing, but not for his work as a security guard.
Proof: Group photo of him and the rest of the security team
Playing
First-person sample: So, let’s get this straight, man. Just so we’re clear. All this, aaaall of it was just some wacky dream? You know, baby, that’s just wild enough that I might believe it. It would ceeeertainly explain this whole Manipulator business, but I sort of liked that dream of mine.
See, I had some unfinished business. So I’d really like to go back. You can dig it, right?
Third-person sample: Now, Cabanela had seen some strange things. A corpse vanishing from the morgue? Check. His best friend killing his wife in bizarre and somewhat impossible circumstances? Check. A corpse getting up and threatening him? Check. A corpse shooting him in the head? Double check. A ghost with the same face as the corpse who can manipulate time? …Well after everything else, that wasn’t so strange.
But this whole sleeper business, this whole “everything has been a dream” thing was a bit too strange, even for him. But he wasn’t a detective for nothing. He’d figure out what was going on. At least, he hoped so. Maybe all of that really had been a dream, it would explain a lot. The whole “ghost tricks” thing was certainly something that he could have dreamt up after a night of partying a little too hard in his younger years. But he had spent a decade searching for the Manipulator. He was certain he hadn’t dreamt that up.
He didn’t have the Professor here, which was a shame, because the man was bound to find the entire situation fascinating. There was also a distinct lack of Jowd and his baby, which was more than a little unfortunate. And that ghost with Yomiel’s face. Why did he have Yomiel’s face, anyway? It was more than a little weird.
Well, somehow he’d figure out things. Couldn’t be too hard, right? He’d just have to do it as quietly as possible, the way he had handled things with the Manipulator. Once again, the man missed the Prof. He had a knack for picking up on things that Cabanela wasn’t always immediately able to see, though it wasn’t like he was stupid. He’d find someone out there, hopefully. Someone who wanted to get to the bottom of this mystery as much as he did.
He didn’t believe for one moment than what he had been told was true. Well, maybe he did a little bit. That photograph was pretty good proof. It didn’t look like it had been altered. But he wasn’t about to take everything as a fact just like that. He’d find someone, anyone, who was as confused as him and go from there. Start his investigation over from scratch. That was the plan, and he hoped he could actually pull it off.
Did you read the rules? Rules? Wha? ...Okay, yes.
