.o3 If you're having trouble deciding on a character, here's a list of needed/requested characters. There's also a reservations post here.

.o4 Make sure you read both the faq and rules before applying!

~~~

Name: {real, alias, or nickname}
LJ Username: (a real journal is required here. a code is provided for you.)
Age: {your age}
AIM Screename: {required}
Past RP Experience: {you can use any example here. a snip from past logs or links to other communities you've been in. anything that shows us you've roleplayed before.

Character's Name:
Character's Age:
Character's Model: {whom you wish to portray your character; also known as your PB. please supply name and a sample image}
Year in School: {freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. if character is not in college, what are they doing that keeps them in the surrounding area?}
Major / Minor: {if applicable; if your character hasn't decided, say so} [see below]*
Clubs / Activities / Job?: [see below]*

Background History: {minimum 300 words - nothing is truly 'canon' in an alternate universe setting such as this. so feel free to go wild and use your imagination to it's fullest capability! creativity is very important here. if you plan on playing a character that depends on another for some aspects of plot [ex: Hyuuga / Zabuza-Haku / Orochimaru-Kabuto / Madara-Tobi-Izuna] do not write them in unless the character exists already in the community and you have planned something out with them. with that in mind, keep mentioning of another character in your application down to a minimum. your application is all about your numero uno character and that is the one we want to see the most out of.}

Personality/Likes & Dislikes: {minimum 300 words - there's bound to be quite a bit about your character that makes them a special snowflake. you have your chance to tell us about it right here. what are their talents or aspirations? details and more details, please. what makes them who they are and why? describe their personality to a tee. paint a picture with your summary and assume that you are the only one who knows everything about this character.}

Writing Sample: {minimum 300 words each - our requirement is for you to write both a first and third person sample in order to show your grasp on the character in the two formats that dominate the community. prompts are optional as they are only there to help aid you with the writing examples. feel free to be as imaginative as possible.}

Prompts:
- Interview
- Out past curfew
- This one time at ___ camp...
- First day of class / work / etc,.

First Person

Third Person

Gaara App 3/?

shouldve
2009-07-23 06:14 am UTC (link)

Personality/Likes & Dislikes: His father was right: Gaara was never rehabilitated. He simply learned how to play the part. He knows how to say please and thank you, to raise his hand when he knows the answer (but not too often), how to shape his characters, to write an essay and put together that formula, how to follow the rules and play along. He knows these things, but they are meaningless, and in that, Gaara has a sociopathic tinge. His insanity does not stop there: he hears the voice of his “mother”, and of course, she is bloodthirsty.

Yashamaru's betrayal and subsequent death left Gaara warped, and he found it impossible to relate to other people since. Viewing himself as other than human, and disinterested in other humans except for what they can do for him, and how he exists in relation to them. He understands how the system works, and so he does not kill, or snap. He maintains a cold, blunt front, with a severe lack of patience (it comes of little sleep), an intense intolerance for stupidity and inefficiency, and inherited from his father, an interest in having his demands met combined with a poor temper when they are disappointed.

Other people don't like, or even fear him, and he doesn't like them. The fact that he might be lonely, even miserable, is not only irrelevant, but long forgotten. He is terse, succinct, and disinclined to speaking much at all. He waits, he watches, he plans. Gaara is direct, matter-of-fact, likely finds no topic awkward or uncomfortable, and has little to no shame, outside of certain traces of school-boy guilt from Yashamaru’s influence. He isn’t typically awkward in that he’ll feel uncomfortable- he has none of those reservations, uncertainties, or second-guesses; he doesn’t know that he should. Unsurprisingly given his insomnia and following instability, he is prone to occasional bouts of fickle behavior. Fleeting interests, spontaneous comments or activity. For all that he loathes people, and depends on his isolation to the extent that he despises to be touched, he spends an awful lot of time watching them.

An awful lot. It's probably best to avoid really getting his attention.

Gaara dislikes most things. He likes raking sand in his Zen garden, polishing various offensive techniques, heights, and being on the water. Full moons, inexplicably, put him on edge.

First person writing sample: (Shorter than 300 words with mod permission!)

Temari sent an e-mail. The General is planning a vacation. I declined. I do not want to take off from work. Last night was dull. The night before not much better. Weekends are the best; there's more to do. I was back by 0400. The sunrise looked like a painting. It always does. Reds were stronger. Sailor's warning, the English phrase goes. I didn't plan to take out the boat. It rained.

The drops ran down the windows, but the patterns didn't make sense. I wrote my name in the remnants, but it rained again and washed it away. There is a leak in the ceiling. It drips every six seconds. It is almost that regular. It pisses me off. I put a pot under it. It didn't help. I put a towel in the pot.

It was still raining when the sun set. The sky looked like a bruise. The yellow kind. I watched it from the roof, but not with my umbrella. Everyone looks like insects from there.
