Applications are OPEN.
♢ We accept applications for: fandom (OU), original (OC), alternate universe (AU), and fandom original characters.
♢ Please check the taken and reserve pages to make sure the character you wish to apply for is available.
♢ Up to three versions of a single character may be in the game at once.
° NPCs do take up one of these character slots. They count as AUs.
♢ We allow only one OU version of a character, out of a total of three versions. (That means we can have a combination of either one OU and two AUs, or just three AUs before we stop accepting applications for that character.)
° Alternate universe characters are marked by silver borders on the taken page.
♢ If you are given a revision, you have two weeks to fill it out before we issue an automatic decline.
♢ In the case of a decline, you must wait two weeks before reapplying.
♢ We don't do app challenges.
♢ Headcanon is allowed.
♢ Don't worry about apps getting long. If it takes a lot of words to get across what you're trying to say, then go ahead and use them.
♢ Our goal is to have apps processed within a week of their posting.
♢ Existing players, please make sure you can manage activity with your current characters before applying for more.
♢ Applications are screened. Upon acceptance, you may ask us to unscreen them if you wish.
° Remember: Dreamwidth allows you to reply to your own screened comments!
If you're unsure of who to apply, we suggest the potential app discussion page. Filling out the small form might give you a better idea of who would work better for you and the setting!

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.)

Revisions
Almost there!
Your application is good! We just have a few questions about your app before we can decide to accept or decline. Please expand on...
Personality
You mention that Elena has a personality change of some sort after the death of her parents. Could you please elaborate on what changed in her, what stayed the same, and if any of that changed after she became a vampire?
Powers
We just want to clarify on this one: when you say she will be human, will she also be completely powerless, or retaining some of her super-[thing] powers even while human?
REVISIONS
Okay, this can get pretty messed up.
The first change happened after her parents' death, which was also when she first became a vampire. She became more withdrawn, quiet, and at the same time, confused and frustrated as she adjusted to her new undead nature. The former being a natural mourning phase after losing her parents, and the latter faded as she eased into her vampirism. After a period of adjustment, I imagined Elena to be sort of akin to how she was in canon, under the watchful eye of Stefan. She's friendly enough, though she doesn't purposely go out and try and engage people like before. And because vampirism amplifies all emotions you had previously, Elena cares a lot.
The second change came after she found the picture of Katherine, and she flipped her emotion switch. Like I talked about, Elena took after her biological mother in the sense that she became very cold and unfeeling. She didn't take any particular delight or sorrow in seeing people's happiness or suffering, and just did whatever she had to, which is all a complete flip from her normal self. During this period, she also met Damon, who lent a hand in helping her develop as a vampire. As a result, she has a mixture of both his and Stefan's attitudes towards the use/misuse of vampire abilities, such as compulsion and blood drinking.
However, after returning to Mystic Falls, her emotions have been slowly slipping back in, both because Elena consciously tries and she doesn't stop it when it does happen. This is because she realized that there was no way she could face Jeremy, or Jenna, in the current state that she was in. She's more straight forward and blunt, though still with a certain degree of tact, and she's more willing to sacrifice something or someone she's not as close with, to get something done in the big picture. But other than that, she still does care about the people she loves, and she's still pleasant enough to talk to.
POWERS
While she'll be fully human at first, I'd like for Elena to gain back her super-skills, watered down slightly, minus compulsion.
SIDE NOTE
After a tip, I've decided to put in a couple pictures into Chloe's diary, of her with family and/or friends.
