[thewakemods]

** APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED.**


Update: We are now allowing an option for those who have been here before that wish to return for endgame, instead of filling the normal apps, instead you can just fill a new form below.

Old Characters
Name: Character name and journal: Ascension rank they were previously: Were they a Wakened, Angelii, or Ashura? When they were in game/notes: (Can put a link to any old activity, their Wake Wiki page, or summarize.)

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:
<b><u>Personal Information</b></u> <b>Name</b>: <b>Age</b>: <b>Personal Journal</b>: <b>Email / Plurk / Discord / Other</b>: <b>Current Character(s):</b> (List the characters you currently play in the Wake, if applicable!) <b><u>Character Information</b></u> <b>Character Name</b>: <b>Fandom</b>: <b>Character History</b>: 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. <b>Character Personality</b>: Please be <i>as detailed as possible</i> so that we have a good picture of the character. What makes this character tick? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Minimum three paragraphs. <b>Powers and Abilities</b>: 'nuff said. <b><u>Samples</u></b> TDM posts (unless it's for Network), links, and examples for posts from other communities are not accepted. <b>Network</b>: Your network sample entry should be made as if your character were posting to a public network, such as Dreamwidth. <u>It does <i>not</i> have to be their first post (ie, "OMG WHERE AM I?!")</u>, but it <i>does</i> 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 <b>Third Person</b>: 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 "<i>this is what my character is thinking, designated by italics!</i>" but should rather show your character's self via their actions and interactions with their environment.

Hello, and thank you for your interest in The Wake! Before we consider your application for approval, we'd like to ask for a couple of revisions.

Firstly we'd like some expansion on the personality section as it is very brief. Secondly, we'd also like to request a revision of the First Person Sample as currently it seems very reliant on action and doesn't give us much of an idea of the character from the words spoken.

We're also not sure whether the bolded text throughout was intentional, but it does make it a little difficult to read.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Revisions/ Personality and First person sample

[fireymouth]

Character Personality: Rico is described as a stubborn man who may not listen. This may stem from his childhood where he fought with many of his siblings as a kid, even to the point of fights in the house. Rico is rash at times, not thinking before seeing the consequences of his actions, to show this he rushes into action seeing others in trouble, not even thinking about what could happen to him.
At times, Superiors can see him as a airhead, one who questions authority orders without a second thought at times. He is shown to do many things against his superior officer’s orders. In short, Rico is angry because he is blamed for a lot of things gone wrong, both good AND bad. He tends to take these issues personally, causing him to lash out against the ISA higher-ups for telling him off and what to do. Rico usually doesn’t solve anything without violence, and usually does instead of plan. However, that gruff and tough exterior gives way to the softer side of Rico: He is extremely loyal to those who respect and care about him. He will go to great lengths to make sure they make it through in a fight. An example is how Rico took care of Hekha when the man was a Helghast. He is loyal to a fault and he will die for his men or Jan, his friend in the ISA.

Loyalty can be considered one of Rico’s strengths but also a giant weakness.

PTSD might be a factor in why Rico strikes out at everything. Rico is a strong man but he cannot climb buildings or climbing but he can lift a extremely heavy weapon and use it.

Over time, Rico’s hatred for the Helghast still burns however he has slimmed and slightly calmed down now thinking more rationally because he is a leader of the Hellhounds.

He has proved himself time and time again that he is a leader.

He gets mad at others trying to make fun of his friends.

Network:


[Rico gets off the ground]

Feels like I got up from a fuckin’ nap, now where’s those damn Higs?

Wait..

Jan?...

[Rico cautiously stares around ]

Hakha…?

Luger?

ANYBODY?

…

Shit…

Instead Rico went to punch a tree to get out his frustrations.

Boy was that a mistake, that hurt his hand probably to get splinters.

“Damn tree, damn higs..”

[Rico eyed the camera]

Any one of you guys seen my team?

If so, contact me any way you can.

Jan.. wherever you are.. Stay safe out there.

Unfortunately we will not be able to consider this character for application as the provided revisions seem rushed, and they don't provide much improvement for the information we had asked for.

We're also concerned about John Conner's activity as we have previously contacted you about. We would like to see him interact with other characters more and show that you can handle more than one character.

Thank you for your understanding.
