✗ 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. 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.

This sample must be in prose format (paragraphs, no brackets) and should show character reactions/introspection.

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.

Thank you for your application. At this time, we would like to ask for a slight revision; specifically we would like to see revisions of both of your writing samples, as at present we do not feel that they necessarily display the sort of writing quality that we would like to see in the communities. In the First Person sample specifically, some more/better action writing would be helpful, rather than the monologue that currently comprises its majority.

Feel free to submit your revisions any time before the next app round and they will be processed asap!

Ok thanks. Sorry this is a bit late. Net issues.

Here's my first person sample.
Noel first person:

[Noel stands at the front of a large building in a city similar to Academia 5xx. The wind softly blows through his hair as he looks from left to right.]

Well Serah, I guess this is the world we were fighting so hard for huh?

[He curls his right hand into a fist at his side with a grimace.]

Too bad you're not actually hear to see it.

[He walks over to what looks to be a restaurant, but there's something odd about it. He looks down and reads the display on a small terminal near the front door.]

'The diner is closed and is currently running on self-serve mode. Please select your desired dish from the menu' ... A machine... that gives out food? Ok. I suppose I could go for something to eat.

[He continues to look down at the terminal. It consists of a small screen, a number pad, and a D-pad.]

Now let's see... If I were Serah-or anyone else from her world-what would I press to make this thing work?

[Realizing that poking at the screen yields no results, he begins pressing the arrows and looking through menus.]

Oh, this isn't as hard as I thought. I think I'll have... a pie.

[He hits the "OK" button and a woman's voice comes from the terminal.]

"Please insert your Diamond, Emerald, or Ruby card to complete your purchase."

Aaw, a card? You don't have like uh, complimentary visitors' gift or something?

"No." [The machine responds in a dry tone.]

Ya know what. On second thought, I'm not that hungry. I think I'll--

[At this moment, a large "CLUNK" sound is heard from a slot under the terminal. Noel looks back to see what could have made the sound. He slowly walks over to get a closer look as everything appears unchanged. He leans down noticing a slot under the terminal. He reaches in and pulls out...]

...A crystal... pie?

[He lets it go only for it to continue hovering slightly above his hand as it rotates slowly; the sunlight glinting off of the crystalized crust.]

This must be an artefact... but what is it doing here? I thought all the time gates were sealed off by now.

[He places the artifact in his pocket.]

Well if this is here, that means there's still questions to be answered, and if there are questions to be answered, that means there's someone to answer them.

[He briskly walks off, a hint of excitement in his step as he moves on towards his next adventure.]

here's my 3rd person.
