Application Explanation
The Player
Name: Your name
Age: It's up to you whether you want to put this or not. We ask more for curiosity' sake.
Contact: E-mail, personal LJ, or AIM. Please, give us your e-mail if you are accepted so we have a way to contact you.
Past Role Playing Experience: How long you have been playing, where you've played before... whatever you think is useful. You will not be judged on this, but it helps us to know where you're coming from.
The Character
Name: Character's full name.
Age/Birthdate: Birthdate is not necessary if it's not available in your character's canon; at least guess at their age, though.
Species: Demon, angel, nephilim, supernatural human, or wanderer. All fandom characters are wanderers.
*Type: What type of angel or demon, what animals they can change into for shapeshifters, what the Rift changed about a wanderer, etc.
Canon: Only applicable to wanderers - if they’re an original character, just state that.
*Pre-existing powers: Again, only applicable to wanderers. If they had any special abilities before they came through the Rift - magic or psychic or whatever - this is where you note that.
Livejournal: The character’s journal.
Played By: This is the actor, musician, model, etc. you will use for your character’s icons to represent them.
Icon: Please provide a link (uploaded to your own server, or to LiveJournal’s userpic server) of a good quality (preferably textless, 100×100) icon of your character for the cast list page! If someone else made the icon be sure to credit it on your character’s journal.
Appearance: This section is not as important as the rest. One paragraph should work.
Personality: We'd prefer at least 3-4 solid paragraphs for this. Try to delve into what makes this character tick. Think about their negative traits and their positive traits. If you'd like, include how they interact with other people, strangers, family, friends. I put more value in the personality section than in any other section.
History: AS OF MARCH 28th, this section of the application is for Original characters and AU characters only. You do not need to summarize every moment of your character's life. Focus on the most important moments in their life and the events that shaped them. This should be 2-3 paragraphs, depending on how old the character is.
Events: AS OF MARCH 28TH, this section of the application is for FANDOM CHARACTERS only. List two events from their history that have made the character who they are when they come into the game and then describe how/why each event affected them.
Writing Sample: Be sure to write this character in your sample. Two to three paragraphs will work fine. You can use a story or RP post you’ve previously written. We prefer it to be in third person, present tense, because that's consistent with the style of RP in game.
Sample Applications are coming soon.
Please, do not directly copy and paste from other sources whether this is wikipedia or another person's writing. Write the app in your own words to show you have a clear understanding of the character.

A Couple of Application Questions
Number one, I plan on apping this Kamen Rider into the game. Now I know the Rift will change him but his source of canon powers is his Advent Deck: a small metallic box that can fit in his hand with cards in it. Now obviously he can't use it, but my question is this: will it come with Chris (the character's name) or will it be left behind?
The other question is that I'm not sure what would be appropiate for Chris to have as his new Rift ability. I would like his ability to be more offense-related but other than that... I have no clue. To give you Mods more perspective on him, he's an ex-marine who can transform into a stingray-themed armored warrior called Kamen Rider Sting. His main weapon happns to be a whip in this form.

If he has the box in his hand when he 'falls through', he will definitely carry the box over with him into Chicago. Anything a person has on them or in their hand will come along with them when they end up in Chicago.
You could always give him an elemental power of some kind. Maybe the whip itself, he could have the power to add fire or electricity to it which would cause extra damage. You could also turn him into a shapeshifter and pick a large, offensive animals for one of his forms. There are unlimited options really to work with even when considering giving him something offensive. You could make him stronger when he hasn't transformed into the warrior for instance too. The Rift can also take things away from people or change small things about them. It's not always an ability, but that would be up to you as to what you want to do with him.
I hope this helps and if you have ideas for rift changes and want to ask if they sound acceptable, feel free to ask about them here.

Anyways just let me know. Thanks :)
