♢ POTENTIAL APP DISCUSSION


POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
How to

While the worldbuilding post is an excellent place to try and figure out City history CR, this page is more to help you to decide who you should apply for in the first place. Give us a good idea of what kind of character you're thinking of and let others comment in on how they might see it working!

Think of it as a thought experiment for yourself and other players. As a reminder, this is completely optional. You are totally free to reserve or apply someone without commenting to this post first.

♢ Reception to your idea will have no effect on how the mods process your app. This is only a tool to help you decide who to put the effort into.
♢ Don't spam or flame any potential character comments. While just going "OMG YES!!" can be encouraging, it doesn't really give anyone a whole lot to work with, and neither does shooting someone down. Be constructive.
♢ Give your honest opinion. If you think a character really wouldn't fit in the setting, express your concerns. Maybe the potential applicant didn't think of it from a certain point of view. Paired with the above, please don't just go "I don't think this will work". Provide some reasoning!
♢ Don't take anything personal. Anyone who comments back to you on this post is only trying to help — even if it isn't outright encouragement.

decisions are hard

Your name: Fufu!

Hellohello! I have two little angel things that I'm hoping to bring into the game and yeah sup, figured I might as well pop over here to see if anyone has anything helpful and whatnot o/

Character name: C.A. Cupid.
Fandom: Monster High.
City Life: She goes to a high school for monsters in canon so I suppose she should be going to school here too? She could totally work in a fashion store or something like that too though. Also, Cupid and her father are in charge of ~love~ so I was thinking of saying her father ran a magazine or some sort of company with her aspiring to be in the family business too. If I can do that. 8|a
Powers: The only sort of supernatural power she seems to have that doesn't rely on her using her bow and arrow (which she won't even have) is a sort of... supernatural perception thing. She has to purposely activate it and when she does she can read a person's basics, like their level of power.
Do you think they'll be active? Certainly! She's a really friendly girl and loves to help people out so she'll be talking to a bunch of people.
Do you think they'll participate in plot? Most likely!
Why this character interests you here: She is super cute okay. Also I think it'd be sort of interesting to try taking a weird family friendly character out of her canon and putting her in a setting that's considerably less "friendship is the best and be true to yourself and hearts" yes.
Potential Concerns: Umm well she is a minor character from a sort of obscure canon, though I hope I can give her enough juice to be entertaining. 8c


Character name: Castiel.
Fandom: Supernatural.
City life: Still a little floppy here at the moment, but I figured I'd translate him into a dude who is trying to fix/take over his broken ass family. And as for what he actually does for a living UH LMAO I am thinking maybe he... works in a library? Since he knows all about history because he is old as time. idk.
Powers: Angels in Supernatural are super overpowered and would break the game SO LMAO he will be very much watered down. I guess the basic things would be teleportation, being able to tell who's what supernaturally and angel stuff like not dying after being stabbed and shot and whatever?
Do you think they'll be active? Sob I might hide behind Cupid a little because she's pinker but I will certainly try to get him everywhere I can!
Do you think they'll participate in plot? Uh yes no maybe! Depends on what is happening, I suppose.
Why this character interests you here: I have never played him before D: and this is a new and little game! Also Amber tells me you guys are rad so hey what's up.
Potential concerns: I haven't done a "serious" sort of character in quite a while sadly, also CANON POINT WHAT IS LIFE my goodness. I can't quite decide between like... just before the civil war in Heaven or just before Cas kinda loses it at the end of S6 or even after that? :|a HMM I won't take him during a time he's in a state of crazy of course and I am leaning towards before/beginning of civil war but if anyone has an opinion, by all means lemme know o/

1: oh my god monster high
2: working in the library would definitely get him CR. because. like two or three PCs work in the library right now (including this guy) (who I will bombard you with if you app Castiel FAIR WARNING)
3: beginning of the civil war would probably cause the most angelcast drama if that's what you are looking for 8)

also: hi

1: SOMEONE KNOWS MONSTER HIGH I'm not all alone and weird! I love this series I cannot stop myself sob.
2: Hmm okay yes the more I think about sticking him in the library the more I warm up to the idea! Also yes! I am not overly familiar with Good Omens but I have like forever been intrigued by it I SHOULD LOOK INTO THAT SOMEDAY SOON
3: I am thinking that this is also a good idea 8|a I noticed this place allows canon updating so I could always bump him up later on if I wanted but yesyes this may be a good starting point

aw it is okay sobsob, work ate me recently anyway

[personal profile] tumbles 2012-04-21 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
lmao PROBABLY 8c Making archangels mad at him is apparently one of his strong points sob

Actually yes while you are here and now that I remember! I noticed Gabe and Balthazadoodles have matching City histories, would you guys mind having Cas in your little Wilton family too, or shall I do up something else for him? XD

[personal profile] trickntreats 2012-04-21 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Gdi Cas get another skill!

I don't mind at all; it makes the most sense! :D Gabe actually did reference Cas directly as being the prompt for him to flee to Diamond City, but if you'd rather not use that I left him unnamed so I can say it was another brother.

[personal profile] tumbles 2012-04-21 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
OH whoops I missed that reference when I read it over. So I assume Cas is the brother who told him that shit was about to get real at the end there then?

But yes I could use that! I could say like... Cas does his trying to take over the family thing and ends up in Diamond City along the way. Maybe looking for his brothers for help idk, something like that.

[personal profile] trickntreats 2012-04-21 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, that's him. See how my vagueness works for us. XD And that would work for me! Gabyl could've been in the city for however long before the Disaster, after all.
