APPLICATIONS

✗ Applications are processed weekly, every weekend. The cut-off time for the submission of applications is 11:59PST on Saturday.
✗ Before applying, please read the FAQ and Rules pages.
✗ Please submit your application with the journal you plan to use if you have one made already. If not, another journal is fine, but we prefer your intended journal so it makes for an easier time in granting access to the mod journal and the contacts page.
✗ 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 you are looking for an example of what an application should be like, please refer to the application here for an example of a canon character application, and here for an original character application.

Items with character at canon point: Tell us what your character has with them at the point you have pulled them from - this includes any animal companions.
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. For example, if you are apping Mario and you already play Princess Peach in the game, how will you handle their interactions without playercesting? 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.
 
Background: Here is where we would like to see information about your character's history and their place within their canon. This can be written if you wish, or you can link to any wikis and relevant resources.
 
Abilities: Is your character an accomplished carpenter? Can they shoot laser beams from their eyes or travel through time? If they possess any abilities, learned or otherwise, they need to go in this section.

This sample must be in prose format (paragraphs, no brackets) and should show character reactions/introspection. It does not need to be in game's setting, but it must demonstrate your character as you are apping them.

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.

Background: Here

Abilities: Setsuna is an Innovator, the next evolution of humanity. He has the ability to process information with his quantum brain (though he has limits), communicate telepathically with his quantum brainwaves, sense the emotions of others nearby, anticipate the moves of his opponents, sense danger, has heightened spatial awareness, enhanced reflexes, increased strength, and has a life-span that extends over twice as long as normal humans.

As for his learned abilities, Setsuna is well trained in the art of guerilla warfare, can handle a wide range of weapons, explosives, is trained to be an elite close quarters combatant and is excellent with a set of blades.

Oh, and he's also a kick ass Gundam pilot.

First Person:

[When the video starts, Setsuna is staring at the screen. His expression was serious, and he was staring at the device as if he expected it to shrink back in shame from his gaze. Or maybe he expected whoever was on the other end of this feed to shrink back in shame instead.]

Tieria Erde.

[So, expect the other person to shrink back in shame, even if he knew that wasn’t going to happen. On their best days, they barely got along, even if they worked well together as a team. At their worst, there were death threats, dark glares, and possibly even the occasional attempted murder between them. Thankfully, things haven’t been that bad between them as of late, but apparently that peace is being tested at the moment.]

Where did you put it?

[he doesn’t elaborate any more than that, mostly because he doesn’t feel like he needs to. Tieria will know exactly what he’s talking about, and that’s the more important part of things. For now, he simply waits for an answer.]

Third Person:

The Cathedral was someplace Setsuna normally avoided. He had a lot of issues with religion, to the point where, as far as he was concerned, there was no God for anyone to worship. But when he walked into the Cathedral, it wasn’t to convince anyone that they were fools, all looking in the wrong place for answers. Nor was to worship with anyone, or seek any kind of spiritual guidance. He really only entered the place for one reason:

To get out of the rain.

It was pouring outside, and Setsuna, a child of the desert, wasn’t used to that kind of weather. Without an umbrella, he sought shelter to wait out the rain until it decided to pass. Since all he was going to do here was simply wait, he hung his jacket near the entrance for it to dry off a little, then sought out a seat away from most everyone else. They can worship in peace, so long as they left him in peace. But if anyone wanted to talk to him, particularly about God, they might get more than they bargained for.

Welcome to Ruby City! Go ahead and join

rubycity_ooc,

rubycity_rp and

rubycity_logs with your character journal!

After you have done this, post to the Contacts page, Tag Request page, the Taken Characters page and, if you know where your character will be living, the Residences page! Familiarise yourself with the Rules and FAQ and introduce yourself at

rubycity_ooc

If you have a plurk account, please add the rubycitymods plurk to be included in future updates, information and feedback. We are on plurk at

rubycitymods.

Mode Note: Please be aware that both of your writing samples jump around in tense more than we would ordinarily like to see; First Person writing, used in the Ruby City RP community, is meant to be entirely in present-tense/"bracket-spam" format. Third Person writing, used in the Ruby City Logs community, is meant to be entirely in past-tense / prose format. We understand that slip-ups happen, but please do try to be careful during any actual gameplay! Thank you, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions. c:
