Please post your application in a comment below, with Character Name | Character Canon | Reserved/Not Reserved in the subject line. Do not link your application. If you need to make edits, please contact the mods.
There is no word limit for any sections of the application. As you write your app, assume canon blindness and briefly explain any key terms or other names that aren't your character's that make it into any of the sections. In our application process, we don't ask for revisions, but rather for clarification on certain sections, or to point out if you've filled out a section incorrectly. In the case of the latter, we will offer applicants 48 hours to make the necessary correction. Failure to do so within the offered time limit, or to adhere to any of the other rules listed here, may result in an automatic rejection. Lastly, please note that we process applications on weekends during app periods, which are only during relaxed months and if we have at least five player slots available. We have a player cap of 50 and a cast cap of five with all players being allowed to play a maximum of two characters in the game. Before apping into a cast, please double check the Taken Page to make sure that we have fewer than five characters in your intended cast. All applications will be screened and processed on a first come, first serve basis in the order in which they are received. |
...THERE ARE A FEW THINGS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW.
|
PLAYER INFO.
NAME: The name you would like to be called. PREFERRED PRONOUNS: What pronouns would you like us to refer to you by? ARE YOU OVER 18? You must be at least 18 years old to join We're Still Here. CONTACT: Some form of contact such as Plurk, Discord, email, or a journal to PM. CURRENT CHARACTERS: (If applying for a second character only.) Please list the other character you're playing in the game. CHARACTER INFO. NAME: Your character's full name, in Western order. CANON: The full name of their canon. CANON POINT: What point in canon is your character coming from? AGE: How old is your character? List their physical and mental age, noting if they're immortal or look younger than they actually are. Characters must be at least 12 years old. GENDER: What gender does your character present as? HISTORY: A wiki link that gives an overview of their backstory, personality, and world is fine. If one isn't available or is missing key elements/details, please write a short description. For players of original characters, you are required to write this section out with your character's backstory as well as information about their world. APPEARANCE: A link to an image works fine. Please don't embed images. If you're playing a nonhuman character, you can use this section to describe what their human form will look like when they awaken in Santa Rosita. ABILITIES: Your character's abilities and skills. Abilities and skills should have a firm basis in canon and the version of choice (ie., if you are playing the MCU version of Thor, please do not list powers that Thor exhibits in comics or video games). This encompasses both supernatural abilities and normal skills, such as hand-to-hand fighting, weapons training, or genius level intellect. If your character is supernatural, please list whatever weaknesses they have (for example, silver if they're a werewolf). Please don't link or copypaste information from a wiki and write this section in your own words. For supernatural characters, make sure you list every ability they possess that you would like them to regain ingame. Any abilities not listed here will not be eligible to be regained. Only include abilities that you intend to have your character regain. SUITABILITY: We're Still Here is a survival and psychological horror game with recurrent and heavy themes including graphic violence, death, torture, gaslighting, brainwashing and other surreal and tangible horrors. How is your character suited for the setting? Use this section to briefly touch upon if your character has ever dealt with any similar weighty subject matter in their own canon that justifies why they would be appropriate for the setting, how they would approach their circumstances, if they would have any reservations, etc. A paragraph is fine! PERSONALITY. In lieu of a traditional personality section, our application is a series of short questions about your character. There isn't a word limit for this section, but each answer to each question must be a minimum of 200 words. There is no maximum word limit. Applications that fail to meet this standard will be rejected and may not be resubmitted until the next app period. Answers should go into detail about your character's thought processes, motives and beliefs. We're looking for well thought out but not necessarily overly long answers that display an understanding of your character's personality that goes beyond the surface level. ● Your character has a chance to undo a terrible mistake, but in doing so, there could be unintended consequences for everyone they know. Is it worth the risk? Or should the dead stay dead? WRITING SAMPLES. SAMPLES: Please link two writing samples that demonstrate your ability to play your character in a game setting. One of them must be a network sample, in which your character speaks through text or voice or video to an individual or group of people, and the other must be a log sample in which your character physically engages with someone or something, either in action or prose formats. You can link threads from the TDM, other games, memes or PSLs. Samples may not be older than 12 months. NOTES. QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS: Use this section to ask any questions or clarify any points you would like to raise about your character before we make our final decision. An example would be if you play a disabled character and want to request information on what accommodations would be available for them in their house, if you're unsure if a certain physical attribute of theirs would or wouldn't change when they cross over into Santa Rosita for the first time, if it's alright to request certain reasonable, personalized items to already be available in their house when they wake up, etc. |
