Applications are Closed.
The game ended on October 31st, 2014.

PLEASE NOTE: App format has been revamped and updated as of May 11th, 2013. Please read each section carefully for the new requirements, and note that apps submitted after May 20th carry the new format.

Applications
overview
Before submitting your app, please be sure that you've read the Rules and the FAQ. You may either link your app from your journal, or paste it here. In the event that you are using material from a previous game's app, please be sure to re-work it into Demeleier's style and exclude special formatting. If we have any issues to address, we will contact you as soon as possible.

Clearly warn for NSFW and triggering content in your application.

Please note that we have the final word on whether or not a character is appable to the game for any reason. If you aren't sure, due to special cases or instances where your character may not exactly fit the pre-established rules, please contact a mod before submitting your app. We will be happy to work with you and make a preliminary decision.

Please do not message the moderators about your application status unless it has been in queue for more than seven days. We try not to leave apps hanging for too long, but sometimes real life matters arise. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

application
Player Name: (Your name or handle.)
Player DW: (If you have one.)
Contact: (Plurk, AIM, and/or e-mail.)
Character Number: (First, second, third etc.)

Character: (Their full name.)
Source: (Their canon, if applicable. For original characters from canon settings, please list both the canon and (OC) in brackets. Otherwise, just put "original character" for completely original settings.)

Appearance: (One or two paragraphs of physical description and/or links to full character images.)

History: (Please write out a summary of your character's history as briefly as possible; please aim for around 3-5 paragraphs, limiting yourself to important events in the character's life. Malleable protagonists from video games may stretch this rule, but please be conservative. Original characters with special worldbuilding may include a link to an information post to help contextualize them. Canon characters may replace this section with a link to the character's wiki page, should it contain a good summary of their history. If you are bringing in a character from a previous game, add those experiences to this section!)

Timeline: (What point in their history does your character come from?)

Personality: (IMPORTANT: We are looking for approximately 3-5 paragraphs of cohesive personality analysis in essay format. Examples from their history section or about how their personality used to be before more recent events should only be used sparingly to illustrate points about their development.)

Abilities: (What can your character do? Powers, trade skills, special talents. Be specific. Outline the strengths and limitations of their abilities, skills, and knowledge as specifically as possible. The mods reserve the right to nerf or deem abilities inappropriate for the setting.)

Inventory: (What items your character will have on their person? You may not bring pure iron, though other metals - including steel - are allowed. Mods reserve the right to ask for revisions if this list is too long or there are issues with items being brought along.)

Prose Sample: (Using prose, please give us a sample of your writing abilities, as well as some general insight to your character. Please only focus on your character's motivations, actions, and voice; if your sample is too fic-like by including long interactions with other characters, we may ask for a revision.)

Journal Sample: (Formatted like a mirror or action post on the main community. This must be written specifically for Demeleier, but it does not have to be your intro post. Feel free to draw on the Bestiary or Locale page for ideas! We will also accept links to voice testing threads that specifically take place within Demeleier's setting. Intro post style threads, with characters who are current and active as of the app's date, can be considered canon if all parties agree.)
