scelerata_mods | APPLICATION

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN

APPLICATIONS WILL BE PROCESSED ON WEDNESDAY to ensure everyone is accepted and has the same starting point upon entry rather than some being in immediately and getting activity while others trickle in after. It's not really fair to those having to wait on their apps.

Here is where we ask you to please post your applications. Applications will always be open at this time but will be reviewed each Wednesday. The latest an application should receive a response is Saturday morning. If there are any delays, it can be accounted to needing a second opinion or the mod is unfamiliar with your series and is asking for a second set of eyes.

We may ask that you submit a secondary piece of information (maybe an extended personality or a new writing sample) but chances are we won't. But should we ask that of you, we'll give you two days to do that from the time we respond.

Below is the application template we request you use, along with explanations for any first time roleplayers joining us. If you have any questions, please shoot them over to the FAQ page.

Name:
Journal:
Email:
Contact: [any faster, more instant way of contact like AIM messenger or plurk or whatever you cool kids are using nowadays?]
Currently playing: [hey this won’t apply to first time appers, this is for any characters you currently have in Scelerata]

Canon: [sup what are you playing from? if there are varying forms of medium, specify (comic vs movie, anime vs manga, etc)]
Character: [HEY WHAT’S YOUR CHARACTER’S NAME SO WE CAN TALK TO THEM]
Character Age: [how old are they come on spill the beans]
History: [you can either link to a source or you can be kickass and write it all here, whatever floats your boat]
Personality: [just some insight into who they are and what makes them tick, doesn’t have to be an essay or anything]
Abilities: [what are their strengths and what are they good at and do they have any special powers? NOTE: if a character has special powers, please dampen them a considerable bit. See the FAQ for details on that]
Canon point: [what point in their story are you picking them up from]

First person sample: [just a first person POV style journal entry, long enough that we get a feel for their voice and how their dialogue flows]
Third person sample: [prose or action spam, so long as it’s about 200 words and we see your writing and some introspection on how they mentally react to things and how that mental reaction affects their physical reactions]

[mod note: you can definitely recycle old apps to fit our format and link out to samples. It's preferred that you copy/paste your samples to our form, but not necessary.]

If you think you're ready, then copy and paste this application into a file and get to town! We do ask that you post your application in full to this post -- that is, we prefer that you do not link out for mod easy perusal.

First person sample:
[Video]
[LOOK, it’s Tenzin, leaning in terribly close to the camera.]

Is this on? I believe it’s on.

[He steps back, sitting down in the chair positioned across from the TV in a very proper manner.]

I’m still not at all sure how Korra and my family convinced me to take this vacation, especially with everything that’s been happening in Republic city. But here I am, it would seem. [His shoulders fall a little, and he glances to the keyboard on his left.] I’m not even sure what to make of this set of keys, as I’ve never seen symbols like this before in my life.

I know it was said that this vacation would help me relax, but I fear that I will come out of it far more stressed than when it began. [A sigh.] I suppose I’ll try to enjoy myself, if only for the sake of Korra and my family.

Third person sample:
The lifestyle of an Airbender promoted peace and serenity above all else, and yet for Tenzin, his life always seemed to be anything but. Perhaps it was the burden of being the council member representing that Air Nomads in Republic City, or even of being the only Airbender amongst the children of the previous Avatar. He couldn’t ever be sure and he never had an answer for himself, but it was something he considered every time a problem came to be in Republic City.

It was a question that troubled him doubly so after receiving the news that Korra had been kidnapped by the Equalists overnight. This was arguably the most troubling (and frightening, for that matter) news he’d received in a long time, and he was making the utmost haste to City Hall, where he was told the kidnapping had taken place.

The entire situation left him both angry and frightened. Angry at Korra for risking going out on her own at night, angry and the Equalists for staging an attack in City Hall itself. There was even a small part of him that was angry at Tarrlok for not being able to prevent Korra’s kidnapping, but then the Equalists were horrifically effective at fighting even the most capable Benders; they’d restrained Korra in the past.

That fact alone frightened Tenzin the most. While the Amon had let Korra go without taking her ability to Bend away in the past, what if that wasn’t the case when they found her this time? What if she could no longer bend? Would all her past lives come to her aid before that happened? If she entered the Avatar State at this point in time… the results could be terrible, for all involved. If she were to be in Republic City if that happened…

He shook the thought from his head. They had to find her, and find her as quickly as they could. Tenzin furrowed his brow and snapped Oogi’s reigns, urging him to fly even faster to City Hall. There was no time to waste.
