✗ Before applying, please read the FAQ and Rules pages.

✗ For very long applications, we would ask you to please separate them into various comments so that they will not take up too much of the page.
✗ Please title your application as { [CANON/CANON OC/OC]CHARACTER NAME || Series Title || reserve/no reserve || X of X } in the subect header
✗ IMPORTANT: Our application form was edited on September 07, 2015. Please use the revised form.

If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: This is only to be used if are already playing another character from the canon you are applying for.

Depending on your answer, you may be refused the character you are apping for.
 
Personality: We are expecting at least THREE well-written paragraphs minimum, with references to canon examples of your character’s personality where available. Please provide us with insight to your character and their behaviour, their likes, dislikes and fears, as well as your understanding of them. We would also like to see details of your character's strengths and weaknesses, which may include physical, psychological and emotional.

We would also like to see details of your character's strengths and weaknesses, which may include physical, psychological and emotional. The minimum will be three well-written paragraphs, but you should be able to write more.

World Information: Please go as in depth as you can about the world. There is no wiki or website for us to reference, and we need to know as much as we can about the place your character comes from so that we can understand the character when reviewing the application.

History: Your characters’ history in their world. Be sure to be detailed. This section should be a minimum of three paragraphs.

A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

First Person: (A spill of bright hair begins this feed. The ripple of sapphire blue cloth follows and then, suddenly, a pair of violet eyes fix on whoever might be watching. She isn't certain of its use and yet she has seen another speaking into it.)

I am Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea and Breaker of Shackles. My titles are many and for good reason. Those who have taken me here will pay for it dearly.

(Her words are commanding. There isn't a trace of fear to be found on her features.)

Tell me the name of this land. How far is it from Yunkai? (She hasn't forgotten her aim - nor will she until she learns the truth of Ruby City.) Furthermore, who slipped this device onto my person?

(For that is most offensive.)

You will not break my will so easily. I am not a puppet nor a pet!

Third Person: Awakening onboard the train had been startling enough. Daenerys had paced from one car to the other, searching for an answers. She had even questioned some of the other passengers, but they were just as clueless as she. Now she was standing on the platform, her arms wrapped around her person.

She had just broadcasted a message to the city at large - or so she hoped. Her presence should be noted. It shocked her that no one was waiting for her. But that only solidified her opinion that those who had kidnapped her from her people were not only cowards but suicidal idiots.

She would deal with them soon enough.

Eyes set on a likely path leading into the city, Daenerys set her feet upon it and kept her chin held high. No one would frighten her or keep her here against her will. Should she need to gather troops all over again, she would do so - at least until her own people (and the Unsullied) arrived. Surely they were tracking her already!

As the wind whipped back her hair, she suppressed a shiver. This was not the desert. She must have been traveling (and drugged) for sometime.

No matter. She would persevere nonetheless.

With her hands gripped tightly at her sides, the young woman sought out the tavern and let herself inside. First, a drink and some food. Then she would concoct her next plan.
