Character ApplicationWhile it's not 100% necessary to follow the standard format, in general a standard application is much easier for the moderators to read, and therefore to approve quickly. If you have some super creative idea for an application that won't use the standard format, feel free to surprise us. If you're more worried about the content than the format, as most people are, just copy the following text and paste it into your application, so you can get started on writing up your student right away.
Name: First Last
Codename: optional
Age: Most characters should be 17-20 years old
Country of Origin: optional
Hometown: optional
Birthday: optional
Power: A description of the character's power and their level of control goes here. It doesn’t have to be the most unique power ever, but it’s an integral aspect to the character and warrants some thought. Leave yourself some room for advancement. The character would have learned how to be in control of their power but might still be prone to struggling with it under stressful or emotionally taxing circumstances. Give us a rough idea of the extent of your character's control and limitations in using their power. For ideas, there's an
article here as well as a
whole Wiki here.Keep it reasonable. That means no canon characters (or siblings, children, spouses of canon chars), no omnipotent supermen and try to keep the powers somewhat thematic to each other. For instance, telepathy often comes along with telekinesis or super strength with toughness.
Personality: Give us a quick couple of sentences about how your character behaves and interacts with others and what they’re like. It doesn’t have to be exhaustive and a character’s personality often only truly develops during actual play. Just have a general idea of what you’re going for.
Description: Describe the character physically. This is a great tool for people who look the biography up later, so be general, and more focused on say, clothing style than a particular outfit. If they have any significant physical mutations you can describe that here as well.
Background: Explain anything you think is important and interesting about the character's personal history and circumstances. How and when did their mutation manifest itself and do they have a specific reason or goal for coming to XU? Write at least a couple sentences, but it can be longer if you want. If there are any secrets in your characters backstory that you don't want to give away then please PM a mod with those, so we can approve them.
