CANON FANDOM CHARACTER APPLICATION

PLAYER INFORMATION

NAME: What name or internet handle do you go by?
AGE: please put down birth month and year.
CONTACT: What is the best way for us to contact you?
CHARACTERS PLAYED: What other characters do you play in Pathema?

CHARACTER INFORMATION

NAME: Self explanatory. Please give us the character’s first and last name.
CANON: List the canon your character is from here. If there are multiple media versions of a canon, please list the version which you’re applying from.
CANON POINT: From which point are you taking the character from? Example: book 2 chapter 32 or Season 5, Episode 11.
GENDER: We're looking for both physical and mental gender here. Elaborate further only if needed.
AGE: Typically, this will also be a straightforward response for most characters. If no canon age is specified, then please supply one using your best judgment and canon examples. Characters under the age of 18 (though no younger than 16) will need to be aged up to 18.
ORIENTATION: What we're looking for in this section is CANON ONLY evidence of the character's orientation. So whatever you choose to list here, make sure it can be backed strongly by purely canon evidence and examples. If none exists, feel free to say ‘unknown’.

Essentially, this section is simply looking for your understanding of the character's orientation in canon and as a part of their personality, since, given the nature of the game, this factors into their ICness. While in Pathema though, characters are welcome to explore whatever sexual opportunities that may arise for them so long as they remain IC in their reactions to such situations.

BACKGROUND: Please provide a link to a wiki(a) article of your character's canon and your character specifically. if no character-specific information is available, please give a brief run-down of your character's history and personality. this can also be done in bullet points.
PAST GAME MEMORIES: Is your character coming in with past game memories. Please tell how these memories change your character in any way - and give a brief run-down of these memories. This can also be done in bullet points.
SUITABILITY: This section must be filled out for every single character

If your character is between 16 - 18, this is the place to include why you think they are suitable for the game. This should include information on their maturity and on the possible impact of being ageing up.

This is also a section that must address whether or not the character being apped is capable of handling the rigors of living on their own, finding employment/food, subsisting within a normal society. It must also address how your character will specifically handle being on an island that is run on intimacy. We are concerned less with 'do they know how to have sex and will they' unless the character is younger than 18 or shows signs of being unaware of sex in their canon. We want to know if the character can handle psychologically being forced to engage in some form of intimacy.

FIT: Please detail why you believe that your character would be a good fit for Pathema and what they might add to the game. This is also the place to mention if they have any type of sexual hangups and how they might survive on just hugs and kisses.

SAMPLES: Please link at least one sample - preferably a prose based one, that you feel clearly shows your grasp on the character. If you do not have a sample, please write a sample that is set to your character finding themselves on the (new) island. This must also include their reaction to being changed to look human and/or at least 18 and of course to finding themselves wearing a collar (remember the collar can look like anything you like. Some might look like actual collars, while some might look like necklaces. If your character’s collar is something that they might actually normally wear, please just let us know in a short ooc note!)

ANYTHING ELSE? Please describe any powers that your character might have. Remember that power limitations do apply and you can find out what those are here. If you’d like, you can describe limitations yourself or if you’re brave, you can leave that up to us. This is also the place where you’d put if your character is bringing in a weapon of if they would their pet to come with them (we’ll let you know if it’s okay!). Is there anything else that might be noteworthy about them? Please put it here.
