APPLICATIONS

Applications are going to be a little more involved for this game than the average murdergame, so please take note of that, especially going into the two week app period! Please note that apps are due 11:59 PM on April 5th, though I encourage early submission!

OOC INFO


Player Name: Your name!
Player Age: I don’t think I have anyone under 18 on my tl but. Please be over 18, that’s what I care about.
Contact: Where we can reach you if needed! Plurk and/or discord work, though… you have to have a plurk to be on Lyndon’s plurk list in the first place.
Reserve Link: You must have a reserve to play! Please link that here.

How into horror are you?: Not your comfort with the genre, necessarily, but how interested are you in the horror elements of the murdergame? Ghosts and spooks and the like. Do you want none of it outside of group events at all? Want me to try to bring your character to tears?
OOC Hard Nos: Horror isn’t about making people more uncomfortable than they want to be! Please list out anything you, personally, are not okay with if you do want horror stuff for your character! Please do not be afraid to list as many things as you want! Some examples of what might generally be on the table include: bugs, rot, specific kinds of gore (though we’ll be light on that in general), razors… please note that this will determine what gets included in any Hauntings your character gets, so don't be shy!

IC INFO


Character Name: Canon and, if different, AU names!
Character Age: Just in the AU!

Canon Summary: Give me enough information to get a good idea of your canon! A wiki link is fine for most, but there are some scenarios where this section should be a little longer:
- If your character doesn't have sufficient wiki coverage, please provide some extra summary!
- If you're apping an original character, please provide at least a paragraph or two of information about their world and upbringing! I don't need a massive play-by-play, but give me as much to work with as the average canon character would need.
- Playable characters whose decisions affect the story will need to provide some kind of summary of the decisions yours chose to make and what impact those choices have had.

AU History: Here’s the big fun one! Give me all the sweet deets on your character’s upbringing, either in a bullet point list or paragraphs. The more juicy deets you give me, the more the hauntings have to work with! Consider things like their upbringing, interests, major events… give ‘em here! However, please note any major differences between canon history and your character’s, with italics or asterisks or… something. I’m flexible. Also, this is your place to detail the things you don’t want to detail directly to other players.

A couple reminders, though these are also in the AU Workshop! Please be sparing with incorporating characters from your character’s canon into the school itself to keep things open for everyone, and make sure to get direct confirmation from your fellow players before forming connections with them! If you haven’t both explicitly agreed, it ain’t canon.

Strengths/Weaknesses: This is where you put the detail you would normally put into a personality section - lay out what your character is good at and bad at, as well as just their general traits with examples! A list of 8-10 traits is fine, but try to provide at least 2-3 sentences of explanation per trait.

Greatest Fears/Insecurities: So let’s say a supernatural entity wanted to prey on your characters’ weak points… what weak points would those be, exactly? Feel free to list things that would get under your character’s skin, whether minor or major! You can also use this section to get into things that would work for motives, if you like. Also, feel free to communicate things you want focused on or not focused on or whatevs!

Sample: Please provide an in-AU sample, though not all of your AU has to have been solidified yet! This can be a TDM thread or a 250-plus word prose sample highlighting your character’s thoughts and feelings and the like!

Case Involvement: Would you like to be RNG or Volunteer, AND would you prefer victim, murderer, or no preference!

Anything Else: Questions, comments, concerns? You can just throw a meme in here too if you want.
