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.
