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.
 
Network/Actionspam Sample: This is the format that will be used in rubycity_rp and must be in action form (brackets). We are looking for a minimum of 6 to 10 lines that give us an idea of how your character speaks/acts. This sample may be linked, either from a musebox, different game or our test drive, provided that the linked example was written within the last six months.
 
Prose Log Sample: This is the format that will be used in rubycity_logs and must be a minimum length of 250 words. This sample must be in prose format (paragraphs, no brackets) and should show character reactions/introspection.

This sample may be linked, either from a musebox, different game or our test drive, provided that the linked example was written within the last six months.

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

Abilities:
Strengths

Physical:
» Greatest Force Potential anyone of his age has ever encountered. (Luke has the same potential he does.)
» The Force lends him skills beyond human abilities in strength, endurance, durability, reflexes, and agility.
» He’s skilled in the Jedi form of hand to hand combat along with numerous weapons (even ‘improvised’ weapons) and their forms (he heavily favors Form V for lightsaber combat.) These skills are enhanced by the Force, but if he were cut off from the Force, he would still have the knowledge to perform all of them – he’s been training continuously for almost thirteen years now.
» Via the Force, all senses are enhanced – sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.
» He can telekinetically move things, and depending on his concentration and creativity, the size and power of the object matters not.
» He has an unending supply of energy and loves to stay active. (Obi-Wan didn't say he was always on the move for no reason.)

Mental:
» He receives both premonitions through the Force for immediate situations and visions of future events. He started recognizing those premonitions at a young age, it's what helped him survive pod-racing. And he was receiving visions of him becoming a Jedi Knight before he even met Qui-Gon.
» He is empathic, but mainly to other’s emotions and their ‘signature in the Force’; actual, clear, succinct thoughts are hard to read, and usually require the other individual involved to be Force-sensitive or telepathic of some nature and concentration on his part. (However, he can read Padme much better than he can the average person, because he is so emotionally close to her.)
» He is highly skilled at the Jedi Mind Trick.
» And Force choking people… Something he learned how to do at the end of the Battle of Jabiim.
» He has amazing piloting skills. Though his crash record would suggest he is a terrible pilot - it's not his fault people shot at him (he thinks he's a likeable guy, after all) and it is his piloting skills that keep him and any passangers alive through impact.
» He has a talent with all things mechanical/electronic. This is actually how he meditates. This talent is Force-granted, through the Force he can just ‘know’ what is wrong with an engine or machine, or how it's constructed, but he’s augmented his abilities with an extensive mathematical and mechanical/electrical engineering education from the Temple. If he’s emotionally distressed, he gravitates towards working on machines. During the Clone Wars he spent a lot of his free time in the hangerbay fixing starfighers. He gets quite excited about engines and machines and droids. He even deigned and built his cybernetic arm.
» He can create Force-Bonds - however, at the moment this is done subconsciously and inadvertently. He has no idea he did this to Padmé.
» He's a brilliantly reckless battle strategist. His first solo command was the Battle of Bothawui, his plan involved defeating General Grievous' forces with a handful AT-TE walkers, deployed in space. He succeeded: he saved Bothuwai and destroyed Grevious' ship, though Grevious himself got away.
» He can read, write, and speak Basic, Huttese, and Dug fluently. He knows the Nabooian script moderately well.

Emotional:
» He loves openly and freely (example - everyone he's met that he considers a good person: Padmé, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Palpatine)
» He's quite loyal to people, he finds it's easy to put their needs above his own. He doesn't give up on them easily - when Obi-Wan was captured during the Battle of Jabiim and was presumed dead by the Council, Anakin could not accept that as true and eventually convinced his then-newly-assigned Master (Master Ki-adi Mundi) that he knew where Obi-Wan was and to go help him.
» He’s overly compassionate towards everyone in need
» And far, far too generous with his time, talents, and possessions. Even when he was a boy on Tatooine, he sought out ways to help the other slaves around him.
» He wants to help everyone in need, and he certainly tries
» He cares far too much about people. When bounty hunter Cad Bane threatened Ahsoka's life in exchange for accessing a Jedi Holocron, Anakin gave up the Holocron to save Ahsoka, even though his mission objective was to bring the Holocron back.
» He strives to do what he perceives as the right thing to do.
» He rarely gets attached to objects (people on the other hand… see below). He is not at all materialistic. For him, objects don’t compare in value to life. Because of this he's constantly losing his lightsabers. And crashing ships.
