CHARACTER INFO
Character Name:
Canon: (the series they're from)
Reference: (any info page will do!)
Appearance: (a link to a picture)
Character Info: (Tell us about your character! Where did they come from? What are they like? What changed them or impacted their life? Try indicating who they are rather than what they do. History is important but the more detailed section should always be their personality/motivations. 400-800 words.)
Memory Loss Considerations: (How would this character be without memories? You don't need to rewrite everything, but consider some major differences. "Because Oedipus doesn't remember banging his mom, he isn't guilt stricken all the time" would be useful to put here. Also consider what sort of trajectory or character goal you have in mind—what sort of arc does your character have in canon, and how would this compare to getting back memories?)
Skills: (What are your character's skills and abilities, and how would they be affected by the powercap present in Aather? We do not require an exhaustive list! Focus on "What they can do" and "how will you limit this in Aather.")
Team Considerations: (What kind of teammate would your character be? How do you think they will fit in or change as a result of being on a team? Remember that getting along with your team is a major part of Aather, so detail in this section is very important.)
Team Placement Request: (If applicable! Please note whether or not you have a strong preference—your character would ONLY be playable on a certain team/type of team, or you specifically would like to wait for a particular team regardless of how long it takes—or if you would be happy with any team. We absolutely try to take all placement requests under consideration, but sometimes it's not possible; the more flexible, the better & faster the mods are able to make placements.)
WRITING SAMPLE
Can you play who you've apped? You have a few options here! Please choose one option that will give us the best picture of your character, as well as your grasp on their characterization & voice. All samples are to be written as your character's normal self, preferably from the point in canon from which they are being taken.
Option 1: 3rd Person Scene
Write a traditional third person point of view sample of about 300 words where your character does something. Keep in mind that this should be a showcase for voice & personality, and should be unique to your character in some manner.
Option 2: Monologue
Write a 1st person monologue of about 300 words where your character talks about a subject. This can be anything—reacting to or talking about elements of Aather would be fine, but it's up to you!
Option 3: Thread Links
Link 3-6 threads of you playing this character. If there is any information needed —like, this is an AU game, this is an amnesia game, character was under X effect—please include that information somewhere! We would like to see a variety of types threads (or threads off of different characters) if possible (so, no linking 6 threads of threading with the same canonmate, please!)
Option 4: IC Survey
Fill out the following IC survey:
IC Survey
Introduce yourself in a few sentences.
"The suffering of a few is okay if it benefits a great many." Do you agree with this sentiment? Why or why not?
What event from your past has impacted you the most? Please describe.
What are three things you're good at, as well as three things you're not so good at?
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Do you believe in soulmates or love at first sight?
"Killing criminals is okay if they've committed a grave crime." Do you agree with this? Why or why not?
Do you consider yourself a strong person? Why or why not?
If you met a stranger, and were allowed to ask one single question in order to get to know them better, what question would you ask? And, if somebody asked you this question, how would you answer?

Please also reference the "Knights" section on the amnesia, powers & roles page for further Knight considerations!
