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 Age:
Character's Model: {whom you wish to portray your character; also known as your PB. please supply name and a sample image}

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,.

Overall, Shikamaru is a nice guy with a bad reputation. He'll befriend whoever the hell he wants and do whatever the hell he wants regardless of what people say about him or anyone else—so long as it doesn't take too much effort. People also wonder how he gets the marks he gets, given that they never really see him take a step into the library, much less study in general. His genius status and his TA position within the biology and chemistry department makes him the type of student that no one wants to approach out of the blue—until it's time for finals, of course.

And of course, he's a horrible misogynist. Feminists, have at him.

First person writing sample: The alarm keeps ringing. It's a pain in the ass to move from the bed and turn it off, but the thing is, the sound is getting pretty annoying. If you think about it, once you get out of your bed, your safety zone, there's nothing but more boredom out there. You wake up, go to class, eat, go to class, hang out, go to class, come back, eat, lounge around, sleep—rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat until the process is drilled into your fucking brain.

But that's kind of what life is, you know? You find the joy in every little boring thing that you do, however annoying it is, and you turn it into a routine that you're comfortable with. That's what everyone does, and hell, that's what I'm doing to this very day, because that's what life is and we get used to it, whether we like it or not.

As for me, I'm not sure where I stand on this matter.

The average life expectancy of a man is around 80 years. That's 960 months, 29,200 days, 700,800 hours, to 42,048,000 minutes. Make the best of your life. You only live once. Yeah, yeah. I get it.

I understand that. I understood it, even before I met him. Even now, four years down the line, I still can't see the point of his words, even though he always said that there was nothing complicated about it. No tricks. No fancy semantics. Nothing. It's annoying, a pain in the ass, and most of all, pretty damn troublesome to even think about it, but I can't help it in the end.

Twenty minutes into the alarm, I get out of bed.

Rinse and repeat.

Third person writing sample: 'You could do better.'

After all these years, those words were still as clear as day. He could do better, was doing better, but something was always holding him back. Was he bored of this day-to-day life? Was he afraid of letting the people around him down? Was he afraid of attention? There were some things in life that Shikamaru always had the answers to, from factual to philosophical. But he found that the most important things in life, there were no way to formulate a comprehensive answer to. It was annoying, but at the same time as predictable as life always was, just like how two plus two was always four, drugs were bad, money made the world go 'round.

Two, seven, four.

Shikamaru watched with mildly disinterested eyes at the quiet class in front of him, writing away as if their lives depended on it. And in a way, it did, because every exam for a Medical Sciences major was a life or death matter. Something caught his attention from the corner of his eye, but at the screech of a chair being pushed back, Shikamaru shook his head and extended his hand, elbow resting against the surface of the table.
