Applications
As a reminder, all applications will be processed over the weekend!
We strongly encourage you to submit your application before the weekend as requests for revisions, if necessary, will be made during the week. This way, should we ask for a revision, you will not have to wait until the following week for the final verdict.
Before apping, please check the taken lists #, A-L & M-Z, reserves or even drops in case for some reason we're not finished updating by the time you come around!
Links to your character journal are fine!
OOC Information
Name/Alias: (Whoever you are!)
Age: (Must be 15 or over)
E-Mail//MSN//AIM: (So that the mods and other muns can contact you. Must supply us with at least one)
Personal LJ: (Not absolutely required)
How did you hear about Badfic?
IC Information
Character Name: (full name please and any aliases)
Name that appears on name plaque: (If your character hides their identity or prefers to be known as a different name, this is where to do that. This will be the in character plaque on your door.)
Character Journal:
Canon:
Point in Canon: (where in the story are you taking them from?)
Age: (How old are they at this point in canon)
Birthday: (Feel free to head-canon this one up. The Author just likes throwing birthday parties)
Appearance: (Please give us a few sentences describing your character's appearance. A picture will be accepted, provided that any details--scars, tattoos, etc that cannot be seen in the image are mentioned.)
Abilities: (Some detail here would be nice, anything they can do that's out of the ordinary from world-altering magic to skill with mechanics)
Personality: (In this section, please consider the following questions. What is your character's personality like? How do they react to people? What is their general attitude regarding the world and the way they go about living their life? What are their motivations, nervous ticks, buttons? These are all details we would like to read about. This section is also one of the most important ones that we consider when reviewing your application.)
Strengths: (What are your character's strengths? If this has been fully described in the personality section, please feel free to use bullet points rather than prose.)
Weaknesses: (What are your character's flaws and weaknesses? Again, if this has been fully described in the personality section, please feel free to use bullet points rather than prose.)
History: (Please write out a canon history for your character - what their background is like and what in their past has affected them. We do accept links, particularly for long canons, although if there's not much information in the links we may ask for something written.)
First Person Sample: (At least 6 sentences. Here we would like to see how you would represent your character in action. We want to hear their voice. As an idea, what would your character post to the network upon waking up at the Manor?)
Third Person Sample: (At least 200 words that will give us a good idea of how your character generally thinks and behaves in third person, log format script.)
Links: (Please provide any other links that you feel will help us understand your character. Youtube links, wiki articles, D_M threads, etc.)
Notes: (Anything and everything you think you need to or want to say about your character goes here! For instance, if you have head-canon that will affect the way your character is played, please include that here.)
Bonus: Why did you choose to app this character? This is a totally optional, fun little question that you can answer in as many (or few) words as you'd like!
Please note that we take the word minimums seriously. Failure to meet the required minimum will result in a request for a revision, if not a rejection. Additionally, submitting an application that has not been proof read is grounds for rejection. If your app has been rejected, you are welcome to try reapplying for the same character the next cycle.

Accepted! With one note.
Please comment on the Taken Rooms entry in the mod journal if you have a number preference, or note there if you're okay with a random room; and the taken list here. We also have a static activity check page here, if you want to set up your character's thread on it early.
Feel free to introduce yourself on the OOC community and post an IC arrival post if you'd like! If you are a new player, make sure to check out the current plot post. We're looking forward to playing with you. :)!
And the note: Time travel doesn't work very well here; the timeline and general reality isn't real stable. The main limit is that it's limited to the duration of the current plot; trying to either jump or send someone before runs into the instability, and going ahead hits a wall of "existence here hasn't decided what it's supposed to be yet, pending". Basically trying to go too far either way will fail, and he's free to pick up on what kind of "fail" it was.
The second limit's basically just an IC effect to cover permissions; he's always welcome to try IC'ly, with or without OOC permission, it'll just fizzle if there's an OOC reason to not want it to work.
Also if he tries to teleport past the boundaries of the Manor grounds or area of the plot in effect, he'll find himself back at his room/tent/start point/whatever passes.
no subject
As far as the IC effect to cover permissions is concerned, is it alright to change that effect up depending on what Gabriel's trying to do. For instance, if he's trying to alter someone's appearance, can it backfire onto him, and then later, if he tries something else, can it have a different effect?
