[anemoisity]

Please read over the rules and information posts before applying in order to minimize confusion.

• Players are limited to five characters.


• Samples can be written in first or third person.

<b>Name:</b> Your name or preferred handle, whatever you want us to call you.. <b>Personal Journal:</b> <b>Contact Info:</b> Any other way of contacting you. IM screen names, e-mail address, etc. <b>Character Name:</b> If they'll start out remembering a name other than their first name, please make a note of it. <b>Character Series:</b> Toss a link to a general overview of the canon. Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted! <b>Background:</b> Again, a wiki link to the character's background will generally suffice. A combination of this and the above canon overview should give a good explanation. Given the nature of the game, this is not only necessary, but we will require you to write something yourself if there's no explanatory source. <b>Point in Canon:</b> When are you taking your character from? <b>Personality:</b> The more detailed here, the better. This lets us get a good feel for the character. Please try to back up your details with canon examples when you're getting past their basic character and more in-depth. Generally, we want to see at least four good-sized paragraphs. <b>Sample Entry:</b> Please write as if you've already been accepted and playing for some time. Introduction posts of "what is this where am I what is this crazy place" are likely to be shot down if there's nothing else there. Musebox posts will be acceptable, posts at testrun-box are preferred, Dear Mun is not acceptable.

VILLAIN APPS:

Villain apps are currently OPEN.

• There is a limit of three villains in the game at one time. There is currently one villain slot available.


• Playing a villain will not count against your five character limit.


• Be sure to note somewhere in the title of your app that you’re apping into a villain slot.


• For more information on villains, see this page.

Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted! <b>Background:</b> Again, a wiki link to the character's background will generally suffice. If none exists, a bare-bones overview will do. <b>Point in Canon:</b> When are you taking your character from? <b>Personality:</b> This doesn’t have to be as detailed as an app for a normal character would be, but it still has to demonstrate an understanding of your character and how they operate. Three solid paragraphs is a good estimate of what we’re looking for. <b>Plans:</b> You don’t have to outline a whole plot right here and now, just give us an idea of why you’ve chosen to app this character as a villain, and what sort of things you have in mind for them to do to antagonize the other characters. <b>Sample Entry:</b> Please write as if you've already been accepted and playing for some time.

Gintoki Sakata

[jump-isforkids.livejournal.com]

Character Name: Gintoki Sakata
Character Series: Gintama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin_Tama#Plot)
Background: Character wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gintoki_Sakata)

Personality:

Gintoki is a punk and yet not a punk. He lazes about the house, scratches himself, is far too interested in the news' weather girl, hangs around downtown playing Pachinko, gets hangovers, and acts like he knows jack. The trick his, he actually does know Jack, given his amazing life experiences up to this point. He knows what's important, besides eating sugar and reading the latest Jump issue. Only fight if you're trying to protect something. Don't drag things around with you through life that prevent you from facing forward. Death is death, and nothing can change that fate. Sometimes Jump comes out on a Saturday, so be careful.

He seems to just put up with women that show up in his life, thinking they're insane (in most cases he runs into, they are), although he has a major crush on the weather girl he watches each morning on the news. His true love, however, is sugar. It's too bad that his doctor told him that he's on the verge of developing diabetes, and he can only have a chocolate parfait once a week. In the meantime, what he's really on the verge on is starting a religion for strawberry milk. According to him, that stuff is the water of life.

Gintoki sticks up for the weak, stands by those who are lost, and sees the true heart in the people that everyone else has pushed aside, the people who've lost sight of their own heart, the people who'd already given up on happiness. He'll just wave it off as no big deal, though, saying that he had nothing better to do that day anyway. He's a bad liar, but an amusing one if anything, and will stick to his alibi five times longer than is really necessary. Aside from lying, he rambles near-nonstop quite often, but so does the rest of the cast, because that's simply the style of writing the author has. Like the rest of the cast, Gintoki can either take the role of the funny man or the straight man. He also breaks the fourth wall a decent amount, complaining about his lack of screentime or hoping that his popularity with female readers is high.

Gintoki gets scared and superstitious easily enough. He is not a man without fear by any means, but that doesn't stop him from facing any enemy, no matter how intimidating, to protect those around him. He strives to live by his own bushido code, taught to him by his childhood teacher long ago, both carrying with him his samurai past and also closing the chapter in his life that was that terrible war.

Sample Entry:

[The voice of someone pinching their nose as they speak comes over the line]

Yes, attention, please, attention all persons, all persons. [clearing throat into microphone] This is your respected and ever-watching Memoria Arse Sirocco government authorities speaking to all immigrated government employees. We have received reports regarding the theft of items belonging to one of your hard-working group, and have decided to step in to help locate these items. They were apparently taken sometime between the hours of noon and 6pm yesterday, from the victim's refrigerator.

Thus, if you know anything or have witnessed any suspicious behavior related to stolen food, please respond soon. Though you may not remember them yet, think what your parents would say if they heard you stood idly by in the face of such petty crime. Think of the victim, who has to go through one more agonizing day without his nutritional sugar intake? It's a question of health, is what I'm saying, all right? Think about if you had to wait 3 days in between eating dairy products, for example! Lactose intolerant people aside, that'd be torture if you ate cereal every morning.

. . . [clearing throat into microphone. again.]

So, that is the announcement. A very official announcement. Think looong and hard, and do the right thing. I know you can, I believe in you. Gin-san believes in you! --Aah, shit I mean-- The Memoria Assface Sirocco government believes in you!!

Over and out.
