♢ 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.

♢ 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.

|
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.)

Poland | Axis Powers Hetalia
Poland is a nation and this basically means he’s kind of immortal. While a country can definitely die (as many countries have disappeared from the world), this could only happen to Poland if there were none of his people or nobody saw themselves as Polish. Basically? As long as there are Poles, there is Poland.
He’ll come back from any sort of injury pretty well and stuff. It’s also safe to assume he is a lot more stronger than a usual human. Though it’s important to say that since the author himself has said Poland is like a phoenix and has more strength than he appears to have. Poland is pretty damn sturdy and how he is able to survive through anything (even not existing on the map for over one hundred years) stands out a lot more than this does for other countries. He’s actually very strong in this way.
Poland’s got a pretty strong emotional foundation. Although he’s often in his own world, Poland shows no problems from his tragic past. He really got out of it like a phoenix does his own ashes. So not only can Poland stand through anything physically? He also can mentally and emotionally. Poland’s kind of like a cockroach to many nations. They want him gone, but he could probably make it through a nuclear war.
Poland’s fighting skills are not too impressive, though. While he is definitely a skilled fighter, in canon it shows that his troops were a little messy and once he was knocked off his horse, he seemed easier to beat even though this was all an act. Generally one could assume Poland can definitely keep up with a fight, though only through swords and the like. He can stand up for himself and manage pretty well.
Also Poland is really not bad at acting. During the Battle of Grunwald, Poland put up a convincing act of someone who lost and was about to accept his fate as the loser. He seriously stays calm as a sword is about to come down on him, all for his act. It’s honestly pretty impressive and so you would assume that Poland can be a damn good actor when the time calls for it.
Though for smaller stuff nothing stands out too much. He’s great at plans and good at coming up with one on the spot. Whether or not it’s a good one really depends on your luck.
City
Name: Fil Zając
Position: Unemployed.
History: Fil came from humble beginnings in the Southeast in the plains with a farming family. His early childhood was easy and good memories of helping his father and mother out with the farms, though he was very lazy and his father often made comments about not knowing if he could take over the farm by himself.
Fil’s mother loved him dearly as it was very hard for her to even have children and Fil was something of a mama’s boy. Often she would have him do the smaller tasks on the farm, much to the displeasure of Fil’s more sterner father. He was a normal child, though a little shy and because of that, did not have many friends.
Fil knew that he would have to take over the farm one day and really didn’t want to. It was work he could do, but his dreams were a lot grander than the usual farming life offered. But things changed when he was nine. His mother got pregnant and the pregnancy was very hard on her. Fil was given much more responsibility, but unfortunately his mother died during childbirth along with the baby. Now only Fil had his father Fil and so their bond became a little closer as Fil was forced to work harder. Yet bad luck struck Fil as the farm started doing worse. They quickly became a poor family and when Fil was twenty, his father sold the farm. Soon after, Fil’s father told Fil to go to the city and try to make something of himself. After some arguments, Fil decided it was better to leave than stay in a bad situation.
He was unemployed and didn’t really know what to do with himself. With only a high school education and no idea for what he wanted to do, he was in a hard place. He only had enough money for a small one bedroom apartment before the Disaster.
Proof: A picture of Fil and his father.
Playing
First-person sample:
Okay, so like, who did it? I totally can’t believe who did this went this far with that whole story idea? It was seriously dumb. I mean, yeah, whatevs. I dreamed about my entire life. My name’s Poland, not Fil. But real funny? Fil? That’s so funny I completely forgot to laugh. I bet you just took a picture of me and did some computer junk with it to put it next to this man.
I want back in my home or I swear I’ll do something. I’ll like, make your entire country Warsaw! Not only your capital and it’s going to happen real soon. My rule’s coming into effect and I am so serious right now.
Also I’m really hungry so I want a snack.
Third-person sample:
Poland sighed and sat back in a chair, away from where anybody could see him. Currently he was too stressed out to bother with any stranger anxiety. They only wanted to tell him his entire existence had been a dream or they were like him and wanted to discuss their mess. He’d never been too fond of discussing problems he was facing.
Was it a dream? The evidence was there, but he couldn’t believe it. There was no way he could imagine up over one thousand years of history. If it had been a dream, he had some weird sense of self-hatred. There was no way he’d make himself go through five partitions and two world wars. No way he would have just decided to let the Commonwealth be ruined. If he was going to dream up a life, it would have included one where people didn’t suck.
But then why was there a photo of him with some weird man? If he looked at him a little closer, there was a slight resemblance. Poland wanted to crumble it up and throw it away. The only reason he didn’t was because he hoped there’d be a way to prove it all false in it. Right now things were a mess and he had to stay cool. That was one thing he had learned through his years of bad luck.
Though apparently, he hadn’t lived through all of that. He’d been some boy living on a farm. It was a little too familiar. Living on a farm and everything going well until it suddenly turned into crap. Wasn’t that how everything usually went?
Poland frowned. No way was he going to give this stupid story any benefit of the doubt. He was the Republic of Poland. Not some Fil Zając. He was not the same person in this photo and he wasn’t going to let himself believe that for a second.
Did you read the rules? Of course.
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...
Powers
We're a little confused by the powers listed here. Do you intend for Poland to keep his immortality or extraordinary sturdiness as an ability, or is this simply listing out all of the things he's known for having in canon?
