.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,.

Part IV

Third person writing sample:

At first, the muffled sounds of the piano in the other room hadn't bothered the young professor. In fact, he had faintly enjoyed the fact that someone was learning to play an instrument that he very much loved and had thoughtlessly hummed along with the warm-up scales. It wasn't a complicated sound, something soothing, and it allowed him to jump right into his paperwork without having to unpack the CD's that would eventually line one of the shelves of his office. But soon, the scales faded away and tumbled into a disjointed and grating attempt at melody.

He suspected it was supposed to be Ode to Joy but he couldn't be sure with all the sour and wrong notes.

It left no room for Itachi to concentrate. He would lapse for a moment, when the player knew a measure just well enough to catch the actual tune, and tap his free hand on his desk only to cringe visibly when a wrong note was hit, sending an irritating line of ink across whatever he was working on.

Consequently, several of some rather important documents had stuttered pen slashes across them.

Dear gods, why was his office not sound proofed? All sense would dictate that it would be-musical instruments are certainly not quiet and a man needs quiet, especially in his office, to work.

He rubbed his forehead, knowing the lesson couldn't go on much longer, and tried to decide whether to stay in his office or move out to a campus bench temporarily. However, the threat of passerby chatter annoyed him more than bad musical skills. And it wasn’t something he would like to have to consider in the coming years.

And would be an impossible way to give any lessons he was contracted to do. He would be doing a disservice to his students to allow terrible Piano to shadow whatever they were trying to play.

He grunted, hand still on his forehead. Of course, as time went on, this particular player might get better or Itachi could just schedule these noisy times to be his office hours.

So he could…work…work…

He reached out to grab his desk phone and punched in the extension to the woman who had repeatedly told him, upon their initial meeting, that she was the person to call if he had any questions while settling in.

“Hello? Yes this is Uchiha Itachi-Oh, yes, yes.” He closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose as the student playing the piano tried to fix their bad playing by being louder. “Wonderful, thank you… Actually, I’m calling to ask about sound proofing my office… 443?” He dropped his hand away from his face to scribble on a yellow sticky note. “Yes, thank you. I will let you know. Yes. Yes. Okay. Bye.”

For whatever the reason, that woman never seemed to want to let him off the phone. Sighing, he hung up the phone and then pulled it back to his ear so he could call the Facilities men.

From the other side of the wall, there was another series of slowed, off key notes. With some small amount of queasiness, he realized that it was definitely supposed to be Ode to Joy.

Other Notes: These are not really 'other notes.' They are simply notes-
-Itachi speaks fluent Italian.
-He is quite proficient at playing the Piano. And can play, though not as well as the piano, Guitar and Bass guitar. He can slog his way through the Violin and Clarinet if forced to.
----He can tune many instruments but knows how to actually play very few-see above.
-He loathes most poetry on principle and secretly enjoys catching theatrical productions.
-He as a desk gargoyle

Any Questions: Nopers!

Welcome! Be sure to do the following with your character journal:

o1. Join both the IC (

last_stretch) and the OOC (

reach_for_ooc) communities as well as

sticky_noto and add

ls_mod as a friend here. Only then will you be able to comment to the friend add/remove entry. Here, you will also add all the players to your IC journal.

o2. Once you are friended, you'll be able to view certain friends-locked entries. Next, you will go here and fill out the player contact information. When we dot all the "i's" and cross the "t's," we will promptly add you to the official taken characters list.

o3. Please also take the time to add a phone post to your character journal. The phone posts are used for characters to communicate outside of the company journals. Once done, please comment to this post with your information.

o4. And finally, please disable the custom comment pages on your character journal. Information on how to do and and why we do it can be found here. Also there is how to work out layouts on Scribbld, if you're new to this. ♥

And you're done! You are also free to write an introductory post in the OOC community, and write up a character info post in your journal!
