Comments are no longer screened. Please let us know if you'd like us to screen your application by writing 'Please Screen' in the Subject Line. (ie: Character Name | Series Name | Please Screen) Feel free to post as many comments as necessary or provide a link to your journal post.

Fandom Character Applications:

Personal Information
Name:
Age:
Personal Journal:
Email / Plurk / Discord / Other:
Current Character(s): (List the characters you currently play in the Wake, if applicable!)

Character Information
Character Name:
Fandom:

Character History: You have two options for the history requirement:
1) Write the full history of your character out (especially if your canon is obscure).
or
2) Link to a detailed wikia page for your character and provide your own bullet point summary of your character’s history.

Character Personality: Please be as detailed as possible so that we have a good picture of the character. What makes this character tick? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Minimum three paragraphs.

Powers and Abilities: 'nuff said.

Samples
TDM posts (unless it's for Network), links, and examples for posts from other communities are not accepted.

Network: Your network sample entry should be made as if your character were posting to a public network, such as Dreamwidth. It does not have to be their first post (ie, "OMG WHERE AM I?!"), but it does have to show that the character is perfectly aware of the fact that this is something that other people are likely to see. Please avoid excessive use of descriptions in [action tags] here, as one would get in video posts - we're looking for your character's voice, the one they use for talking to others. Save the internal monologues for the third person sample.

If you use TDM for your network sample it needs to meet the following requirements:
* Taken from the Test Drive Meme for The Wake and not any other game
* Contains at least 12 comments from the character being applied for
* Contains enough material for us to see how the character is like
* Has to reflect their first person voice

Third Person: 300 word minimum. This is the place to show your character's inner thoughts within the setting. Give us a nice third person narrative of your character doing something, plus how they feel about it. This doesn't have to be blatant "this is what my character is thinking, designated by italics!" but should rather show your character's self via their actions and interactions with their environment.

Original Character Applications - we ask that you be AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE.

Character Information
Name:
Age:
Appearance:
Character history: (minimum 4 paragraphs) As this character is from an original story, please give us a clear picture of where he/she is coming from and the events that shape them to be who they are. Please include any details you think are important to understand this character's background.

Personality: (at least 3 paragraphs) Just as with the history, please be detailed in providing a good idea of what sort of character this is, how he/she thinks and acts, etc. Given this is an original character, this section is just as important as the history and should compliment it.

Powers and Abilities: Self explanatory.

World Summary: (describe their world- is it modern, fantasy, historical, sci-fi, etc? What is the political/social scene like for your character? What in their world is relevant to them? This should be at least two paragraphs)

Samples
TDM posts (unless it's for Network), links, and examples for posts from other communities are not accepted.

Network: Your network sample should be made as if your character were posting to a public network, such as Dreamwidth. It does not have to be their first post (ie, "OMG WHERE AM I?!"), but it does have to show that the character is perfectly aware of the fact that this is something that other people are likely to see. Please avoid excessive use of descriptions in [action tags] here, as one would get in video posts - we're looking for your character's voice, the one they use for talking to others. Save the internal monologues for the third person sample.

** Please note that applications take at least ~~three~~two mods to review and pass, so response times may vary. We apologize for any delay which may result, as the mods are not guaranteed to be on the same schedule. If we request revisions for your application, you have one week to submit those revisions.

Reapplying for my dropped character here.

Application here

Adjusted note from the reserves page question: I have two Star Wars characters here already but technically they are from different eras and even different shows (one Clone Wars and one from films). So I'm not sure if this prohibits a third character who has had no contact with the other two but is in both medias. None of them have ever had any interaction in the shows/films and shouldn't need to here. Putting this application in, just in case this is possible. Thanks!

Hello and thank you for your interest in the Wake!

Unfortunately we will not be able to consider this character for application due to the reasons stated here.

Thank you for your understanding.

Application for Kilgrave over here

"I was just saying hello!"

Hello, and thank you for your interest in The Wake! Before we consider your application for approval, we'll need a minor revision.

That Test Drive Meme link you provided for a network sample is only in third person. Which makes it confusing for us and makes it more difficult to get his voice down. Could you provide a new sample? It doesn't have to be him going "Where am I?", but some idea of what a post on the network from him would look like.

Also, in terms of his powers, while we are glad you plan on doing an opt-in post for him, please make sure to keep that power in check and keep in mind the Bending Restrictions should he get accepted.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we look forward to your revisions.

Sorry for the confusion, but do you want a non-TDM 3rd person sample, or yet another network post sample?

I have opted to write both since I certainly have it all in my head loudly lol

------------ NETWORK POST --------------

Everyone within the sound of my voice: inform me briefly what all you've accomplished with your toughest bending exercises.

Casual show of hands, and how many of you are already planning to punch me in the face just for the way I asked that, more than the real content?

COME COME! [Claps his hands together.] I haven't got all day!

[The reasons to punch him just keep mounting don't they?]

[This is, of course, all a test on Kilgrave's own part, to see who is affected, much like a reverse show hypnotist, and who is genuinely most likely to play hero and try to kill him for the "good of everyone.]

Clothing. Everyone's choices here are either just so dreadful or bare minimum: unfortunate. Don't any of you have a sense of style? It's like none of you have the right eye cones to see real colors. Ghastly! Go to Junes' and dress up like you're all going to a high school prom! Promptly. Go! Shoo!

----

Third Person:

Kilgrave scowled as he looked around. Too few people. Too many dangers. It was like a private hell designed just for him. Or, as he thought to himself, if the tales of this being the "city of change" were correct; a purgatory. He wasn't sure which was worse. At least he'd been in hellish situations before. Trying to tune out some sanctimonious prattle about eating vegetables and keeping your nose clean was even worse than watching Trish's sister's show: Patsy, with all that pre-teen afterschool moral garbage.

He groaned dramatically and rested his elbow against a wall to prop up his forehead, glancing idly at his reflection in a window.

Where was she anyway?!

Jessica, that was, of course. He didn't care one whit about her vapid talk show host friend, but anyplace without his Jessica was torment anyway. Especially after he'd spent so long working to get her attention fixated on him again! They should be living happily ever after by now! Or well "happily." Jessica was never happy, and a severe alcoholic, a violent temper, and without Kilgrave's hold over her, she'd gotten so much worse rather than better, but still, he could fix that. Possibly. Besides, it was her idea to try to see if he could be used to do "good." Whatever that meant.

Which was probably why he was there.

Well, of course it was all her fault. Such things usually were. Unappreciative, but gorgeous and strong as steel or titanium, Jessica.

It wasn't like Kilgrave needed purpose or some such nonsense. Unlike his dear sweet violent, often ruthless, Jessica, Kilgrave absolutely wanted to live. She never made it easy on him though. Well, that was part of the fun. She was the only person he'd ever met who could deny him what he wanted most. Well, until Nautilus.

Contemptible city if ever there was a name for such a specific hell, it'd have to be something that would sound so innocuous to ordinary mundane idiots who didn't know better. Feh.

Well, perhaps.... Perhaps it really was a gift in a way. How many times had he lamented about being unable to tell when someone actually did something because they wanted to, or because he was shoddy with his choice of words? One of the many side effects of being able to order what you wanted at will. And now he could have it. Now he couldn't use his own survival as an excuse anymore -- although the sheer lack of luxurious comforts was dismal after the high-life of New York City. Now he could have real interactions with real people, all just as powerful as him and Jessica. For a city with so many less people, he would also be less alone.

Then again? Who really needed ANY of that?!

Hello and thank you for your interest in the Wake (and sorry for the wait)!

Unfortunately we will not be able to consider this character for application due to a few reasons.

Personality is very scattered and the links between personality traits aren't exactly clear. Especially in the context of someone who's canon blind. We couldn't get a clear picture of him as a character in general.

The Test Drive Meme link you provided was in prose, which doesn't work as a network sample. It doesn't give a clear picture of what a post on the network from him would look like.

Also, the third person sample is too short, only reaching 268 words.

While we would ask for revisions, we felt it would be too much to ask due to have rushed the app as a whole looks. Thus we have to reject it based on those reasons.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your understanding.

*Note: The one in the Network style is what we were looking for, thank you. =)

Also in terms of his power of mind control, please keep in mind the Bending Restrictions. We suggest either to either really reach to influence other characters in ways other than just regaining his mind control (ie through charisma, sweet talking, etc), or have it nerfed and play out how not having that ability would shape him in game.

No worries, that's my plan. And thank you!

Application over here

Hello, and thank you for your interest in The Wake! Before we consider your application for approval, we'll need a minor revision.

It doesn't have to be him going "Where am I?", but some idea of what a post on the network from him would look like.

Also, in terms of his powers, should he get in, he won't have them right away. Any empowering would be lending power, but would take from his own. And he can control only his own beasties once he learns how to make living things.

Please let us know if you have any questions, and we look forward to your revisions.
