Character Application Post (Canon):

[one_dc_nation]

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.

You may wish to review the rules post or our FAQ as well.

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. Applying for Becky mostly because she is one of the few canon females in Gotham that I can relate to, and could see myself being able to roleplay as her rather well, there is very little known about her and I would like to add to her history and her future. The stories I would like to create with her involve her moving beyond her college life and her change from a good girl to a darker character. I would love for her to meet everyone and interact with everyone really, but especially Jonathan Crane, Edward, Harley Quinn, Oswald, Batman, Mad Hatter, and Alice. As for what I would like changed, I want her to have accepted Scarecrow's request for her to become his mistress of fear, either then or later when perhaps she realizes that she really did want what he offered.

J) Sample Post:
Becky Albright was leaned forward a little in her chair as she enjoyed the pages of The return of the king and was focused completely on the book as she took the occassional drink from her cup of coffee that she had retrieved from the coffee store they had here in the library, which had amazed her when she found out. Most libraries where she came from didn't have such luxury and you would have to go somewhere like Books a million for that. Her Hazel eyes moved across the words of an old favorite that she enjoyed reading because it let her escape, and allowed her to pretend that she was one of those strong women in the book, and able to move better then she could in real life. The sound of a noise outside caused Becky to remove her eyes and look up. She sighed as her concentration was broken, and then realized the time. "Better go, class in an hour", she whispered to herself, and quickly collected what belonged to her and walked out of the library to the world outside.

Hey Terri!

Just wanted to let you know that the Admin team has received your application and forwarded it onto a panel of players whose characters Becky is likely to interact with. We'll get back to you within a week with a "yes", "no", or "we'd like to see more".

If you've got any questions about the game, feel free to PM me or email me at chirospasm22 [at] gmail [dot] com.

~Kaylin, on behalf of the Admin team
