Character Application Post (Canon):
Welcome to dc_nation_ooc, the OOC community for DC Nation. This community acts as our backstage area. If you're interested in applying for membership in our RPG, please apply by making a comment on this post using the information below.
Character Application (Canon Only):
A) Player (nickname, handle):
B) Player's main LJ journal:
C) Email:
D) AIM username, if applicable:
E) Character name:
F) Do you see the character as a primary character, who would be used regularly? A secondary character, who would be more background? Or a plot character, who shows up from time to time and drives stories?
G) New character LJ journal (if already created):
H) Base of operations:
I) Please explain further your reasons for applying for this character. What types of stories would you like to do with this character? What sorts of heroes/villains would you be interested in interacting with. Is there anything about the established comic-book canon of this character that you would like to see changed/different? Please be as detailed as you wish.
J) Sample Post:
(Please either post your sample roleplay below or post the link where it may be easily found. Please include dialogue where possible. If you prefer, you may also request an interactive "test scene" with one of our players - if so, please list characters that you would be interested in interacting with for the scene).
Please note that we are currently not accepting the following types of applications from people currently outside of the community:
1) Original Characters.
2) DC: Animated Universe transplants that have little to no history/presence in DC Comics Continuity.
3) Characters from other fandoms (If you're a Marvel Comics fan, we have a sister community that has Marvel RP. Please ask for details.)
If you're just completely new to this and want to know how to contribute feel free to e-mail us.
Please give the admins at least 24-48 hours to respond to your app request. (If it's near the end of a school quarter, please give us a little more leeway.) Once you hear from us, we will have a team of players review your application and hopefully get back to you with an answer as soon as possible. If you haven't heard a final answer within a week, please check with us. One of our priorities is to not leave people hanging wherever possible.
WHEN we respond, we will respond with either a YES, a NO (with reasons why), or a TEST SCENE. The third option, which is common, is when we want to see more from you to see how both you and your character would interact with someone already in the game - often someone your character would have a close relationship with. Once your test scene is completed, we will then respond shortly thereafter with a YES or a NO.
We have a strong preference for players who are 18 and over, due to the themes often addressed in this RPG.

I see him as a primary character, dealing with his father died and interacting with heroes after all of that.
G) New character LJ journal (if already created): N/A
H) Base of operations: Opal City

I'd love to focus on Jack having to deal with his father's death after the battle of Opal. I would also like to have him having to deal with being both a husband and a father, along with bringing a hero and trying to be balanced with everything. I would also like him to be mentoring Stargirl so she can eventually get his cosmic staff as this would be around the time that Starman would be looking into retirement.
Jack would also be interacting with heroes more from the JSA and such. He has no interest in being a part of the Justice League. He would rather be a part of the Justice Society. I would also focus on Jack's friendships over the years, with people such as Mikaal Thomas and Shade.
J) Sample Post:
Jack stared at a picture of his father and sighed. He missed his dad, Ted. He had been there for Jack, even after everything that has happened. His brother's death, him becoming a husband, etc. But then he was gone. He was dead. His father was a great man. His father was a superhero. His father was the best hero ever in Jack's eyes. Ted was Jack's hero.
Jack turned around to look at his cosmic rod, leaning on his bed. Jack had to make sure that he lived up to his fathers legacy. Jack WANTED to live up to his fathers legacy. Jack walked over and grabbed the cosmic staff, holding it up in the air. Jack needed to be very again. For his city. For his wife and for his daughter.
