.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,.

First Person

Third Person

haku app. final

Third person writing sample:
It’s snowing.

Haku blinks at the open window of his apartment, watching the heavy flakes drift past. After a long moment, he slips his feet into tattered sneakers, tugs a hat down over his freshly-blackened hair, and almost skips down the seven flights of stairs to street level. The snow is thick on the sidewalk already, without a single print before his. At least, not on this side of the street.

Smiling up at the sky, he gives no thought to where his feet are taking him as he watches the snow, amused as it catches in his eyelashes and dusts his lips. The lighting is better, suddenly, and he blinks in surprise as he realizes he’s wandered into one of the main streets, where the neon lights on every building change the snow a hundred colours. A few people rushing past give him odd looks, but he continues to grin. The snow is making little hills on top of the flashing signs, it’s filling up the cracks in the pavement where footsteps can’t melt it away. The cars driving past run their windshield wipers, a delivery boy huddles under his restaurants canopy for a moment, glaring out at the weather, before speeding away on his scooter.

He could write a story about tonight. It would be an adventure. A little boy wakes up and wanders out into the snow, and forgets his whole life. He can’t remember his parents or his friends or his home, he only has the snow and the dazzling city lights. Lost and cold, passersby offer him help. But he’s not scared. The snow is so beautiful, he tells them. Won’t you look at the snow? They’re busy, they’re rushing, they have lives and jobs and homes to return to. The boy wanders on. Wanders…

Haku stops at the edge of the road, looking up at the street signs. It will be a long walk back, he thinks. But he could make that part of the adventure, too. After all, the boy has to find his way back home…


Other Notes: + Haku is a Capricorn and blood type O.
+ He can play the guitar relatively well, having decided to teach himself in a moment of boredom during college, and often scribbles song lyrics on his notes.
+ His favourite season is winter, and he loves to go out in the snow. People who know his past find this strange, but have yet to question it.
+ He has a pet rabbit that he has named Kazahana (snowflakes; lit. wind-flowers).

AND I have permission from Q to mention Zetsu here. ♥

Any Questions: ...no? o_o

I guess my picture link died right after I used it, which is unfortunate, so here's a new Miyavi picture for you.

That was a good effort on Haku's application, but we're sorry. The mods have decided to turn down the application. We feel that your portrayal of them does not exactly fit what we are looking for in a Haku player. But you are more than welcome to apply again for another character.

Thank you for your time.

Haku, in our opinion, is a very simplistic person. And what we got from your application was anything but. It started out that way, but towards the end, it seemed as if you took a few steps too many away from who and what Haku really is. It's established canon that most if not all of Haku's personality is based on his relationship with Zabuza. And despite the lack of one in our little community, the idea of it still remains the same in our collective minds. His character generates from his dependency on another. Their goals. Their personality. Etc. And we simply did not get that from your application.

Also, little quibble. From our prospective, it appears as if you mapped out Haku's characterization based on your choice of PB. Instead, we feel it should be the other way around, that you should choose a PB that would fit in well with Haku's personality.

...thank you for telling me. I don't agree, but thanks.
