OOC

Name:

Age: [Players must be at least 15]

Timezone:

Reserve link: [Reserves are mandatory.]

OOC contact: [Plurk and AIM are preferred but Skype and e-mail are also acceptable. Please try to include some kind of chat option if you don’t have a plurk so we can contact you for plot things.]

Name:

Age: [Characters must be at minimum 15 in human years at their true canon point but if their age is ambiguous/not stated it’s acceptable if your character is justifiably around this age at minimum. Also see the maturity clause in the FAQ.]

Canon:

Canon point: [Because of the memory loss aspect of this round, we’re asking that you pick 2 canon points, the point your character thinks they’re from and and the point that they’re actually from.]

History: [Wiki links welcome. If you don't feel the wiki has sufficient information or doesn't exist, just write up a brief synopsis for your character's history. It doesn't have to be long, just give us a general idea of what they've been through.]

Memories: [Pick between 5-6 memories from between your character’s presumed canon point and their actual canon point. The day after each successful trial, surviving characters will be rewarded with 1 of their memories. These memories can be as mundane or as plot-relevant to your character as you like. Players will choose what memories will be regained.]

Regains: [With the inclusion of the Merchandise Booth, we’re asking you to include 5 concrete items that will be put in the Merchandise Booth and may be regained over the course of the game. Each character is also allowed one renewable item (like cigarettes, for example). Items can belong to other characters as long as that character is not in the game, but they must have personal significance to your character (for instance, Glinda could regain Elphaba’s hat but John Laurens couldn’t regain Thomas Jefferson’s cane).]

Strengths & weaknesses: [This is the important part. We want you to make this as detailed as you would a personality section on any other app. This is more for our benefit than to evaluate you so we can come up with the best way to break your character like a geode.]

Skills & abilities/role in canon: [Upon acceptance characters will be given a title that can be found on their doors and in their program guides. These titles are based on their roles in canon and what, if any, archetypes that are relevant to them. Titles they have in canon can also be used, such as Glinda ‘The Good’ Upland and the Wicked Witches of the East and West.]

We encourage you to come up with your own titles if you have ideas and use this section to justify them to us.]

Motives: [What are some things that are important to your character? What would motivate them to kill? People/material goods/power/secrets, anything. This is so we can tailor the weekly motives to things characters would possibly commit murder over.]

Third Person Sample: [Show us how your character would interact with the setting of the mutual killing game. This can be them plotting a hypothetical murder, being the victim of a hypothetical murder or just exploring. The choice is yours.

If you participated in the test drive with the character you’re apping you may use links from it if they’re at least 30 comments total or 15 comments from your character instead of writing a full sample.]

Plot Involvement

Would you be okay with your character being a mole for the showrunner?: [A mole for the showrunner may be employed through sinister means to get their hands dirty if the show becomes too boring. If you want your character to work for them, but your character wouldn’t be so excited about it, please use this section to give us some ideas for how they could go about recruiting them. This doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be picked to be the mole, but it helps the mods decide.]

Any questions should be PMed to this account or contact lluosogrwydd , frickninja , or lepowned and you can also contact us at our public mod plurk, stagemanagers!

Please do not link your apps. We ask this because we prefer to keep things such as possible motives and mole possibilities secret.
