.o1 There is a limit to two characters per person.

.o2 Please remember that this roleplay is based in modern-day Tokyo, Japan.

.o3 If you're having trouble deciding on a character, here's a list of needed/requested characters. There's also a reservations post here.

.o4 Make sure you read both the faq and rules before applying!

~~~

Name: {real, alias, or nickname}
LJ Username: (a real journal is required here. a code is provided for you.)
Age: {your age}
AIM Screename: {required}
Past RP Experience: {you can use any example here. a snip from past logs or links to other communities you've been in. anything that shows us you've roleplayed before.

Character's Name:
Character's Age:
Character's Model: {whom you wish to portray your character; also known as your PB. please supply name and a sample image}
Year in School: {freshman, sophomore, junior, senior. if character is not in college, what are they doing that keeps them in the surrounding area?}
Major / Minor: {if applicable; if your character hasn't decided, say so} [see below]*
Clubs / Activities / Job?: [see below]*

Background History: {minimum 300 words - nothing is truly 'canon' in an alternate universe setting such as this. so feel free to go wild and use your imagination to it's fullest capability! creativity is very important here. if you plan on playing a character that depends on another for some aspects of plot [ex: Hyuuga / Zabuza-Haku / Orochimaru-Kabuto / Madara-Tobi-Izuna] do not write them in unless the character exists already in the community and you have planned something out with them. with that in mind, keep mentioning of another character in your application down to a minimum. your application is all about your numero uno character and that is the one we want to see the most out of.}

Personality/Likes & Dislikes: {minimum 300 words - there's bound to be quite a bit about your character that makes them a special snowflake. you have your chance to tell us about it right here. what are their talents or aspirations? details and more details, please. what makes them who they are and why? describe their personality to a tee. paint a picture with your summary and assume that you are the only one who knows everything about this character.}

Writing Sample: {minimum 300 words each - our requirement is for you to write both a first and third person sample in order to show your grasp on the character in the two formats that dominate the community. prompts are optional as they are only there to help aid you with the writing examples. feel free to be as imaginative as possible.}

Prompts:
- Interview
- Out past curfew
- This one time at ___ camp...
- First day of class / work / etc,.

Gaara App 4/4

shouldve
2009-07-23 06:15 am UTC (link)

Third person writing sample: It was good to have a place where he could let go. Not by much, infinitesimal increments, grains of sand sliding from his clenched fist, one by one. Just enough. When some idiot got tough, or rough, or too friendly, he could move and let his muscles go fluid, and snap, and he had to remember to go it easy, first. To give the right stare and say the right words. And Gaara was glad at times like those that he was short, as if height mattered, that people looked at him and they saw some kid, and it was a big joke. So that guy ignored him, and he broke his face. Things happened in-between, but in the end it was his hand full of that guy's sweaty hair, slamming his head into the ground, again, again, again, until he rolled him over and inspected the job, red pulp, and somehow it had splashed onto his shoes.

Gaara didn't wash them. He liked the color, liked the work. Spent half his time in a recoil at the thought of one of them daring to touch him, half the time hoping they would, because he wouldn't like it and she wouldn't like it, and then they'd go it together.

He wasn't really supposed to get that violent, so he didn't often do it. Too often and people would scare, keep aware, remember him and play it careful. It was fine if they were afraid, but it could be troublesome, too. For them. He understood.

Tonight hadn't been a time when he could. Nothing happened. Not everyone was on his or her best behavior, but nothing came of it, and Gaara walked away with his hands in his pockets and a stirring in his chest, in his skull. The sky wasn't black overhead, because it never was, and there were no stars because of the city lights. There was a moon, three-quarters full, less stand-out in a dull gray-black sky.

Gaara swung left, slinking through an alley. A shady short cut, but knowing better was the point, sometimes. “I know,” he muttered, kicking an empty french fry package out of his way, “I know.”

Shaking his hand out of his pocket, he reached up, scratching peeled fingernails just below the scar on his forehead. His fingertips lingered, pressing, his brow furrowing hard below them. “I can't promise when, but it'll be good.”

His footsteps stalled for a long minute. Standing two feet from an intersection, he gripped his head and inhaled with some effort, it hurt, it hurt when she was loud, when she was angry. Air slid between his teeth, puffed his cheeks, and after the minute his hand fell and he walked on, composure regained. She understood, too. She just needed his help to be a little more patient.

Other Notes: + Gaara will arbitrarily block phone numbers. It's his cell phone, he pays for it, he'll do what he wants with it. Mostly it's his family, off and on, but it could be you, too. Depends on how annoying he thinks your voice sounds.
+ Appearance wise, though he does have some serious undereye circles due to years of poor sleeping, he also slathers on the eyeliner to piss his father off. This, combined with his bright hair (natural, despite all doubt) that he cuts himself gives him an unintentional “look”.
+ He gets killer migraines.
+ Spending a lot of time awake leads to, well, a lot of free time. Gaara's got a secret penchant for late night television, black coffee, and encyclopedias.
Any Questions: \o/? WILL YOU FORGIVE ME THE CRAZY...

This has to be the FIRST application I've ever seen that had Gaara somewhat insane and wrote it well. So it might not mean much and I'm not exactly sure why I have the urge to say it, but damn I'm proud of you for this app~ Good job, bb. ♥

Welcome! Be sure to do the following with your character journal:

o1. Join both the IC (

last_stretch) and the OOC (

reach_for_ooc) communities as well as

sticky_noto and add

ls_mod as a friend here. Only then will you be able to comment to the friend add/remove entry. Here, you will also add all the players to your IC journal.

o2. Once you are friended, you'll be able to view certain friends-locked entries. Next, you will go here and fill out the player contact information. When we dot all the "i's" and cross the "t's," we will promptly add you to the official taken characters list.

o3. Please also take the time to add a phone post to your character journal. The phone posts are used for characters to communicate outside of the company journals. Once done, please comment to this post with your information.

o4. And finally, please disable the custom comment pages on your character journal. Information on how to do and and why we do it can be found here. Also there is how to work out layouts on Scribbld, if you're new to this. ♥

And you're done! You are also free to write an introductory post in the OOC community, and write up a character info post in your journal!
