mayfield_ooc | Applications

• Please read over all the rules and information before applying in order to minimize any confusion before joining.

• If applying for a character that has already been dropped, it would be a good idea, though not required, to know something of their previous interactions. You are also free to pick up a dropped character with no memories of their previous time in Mayfield.

• All content for the personality and sample entry in your app must be written or roleplayed by you; for the personality section in particular, we do not accept copied text from wikis or other sources. Obviously, you may not copy your app from other players, whether in Mayfield or other games. Application plagiarism will result in a ban from the game.

• If you wish for your character to be placed in a specific house, please mention this in the relevant section of the application and specify that permission was obtained by the PCs already residing in that house. We will be operating by the Honor System for this, and there is no need for others to comment their permission in this post!

• Other special requests would also best go in the beginning of the application. Remember, grammar and spelling are important -- if your app contains errors, you will be asked to revise.

• Please post all applications or canon updates in this post; posting them elsewhere and linking to them from here may cause them to get changed later. Posting them here keeps us from having to save them.

When Applying, Fill Out the Following:

Name: Not the character's name, but yours or however you'd like us to refer to you.
Personal Journal: If you have one; a journal on another website is fine.
Contact Info: Any other way of contacting you. IM screen names, e-mail address, etc. AIM appears to be the common link between most players, so having a handle on AIM is preferable.
Other Characters Played: Any other characters you play at Mayfield, if applicable.
Preferred Housing: We encourage random matches, but if there is a particular house you want, you will need to contact every person in the house for permission. Please post your app AFTER doing this. If you cannot get in contact with any one person, please wait a week after contact and we'll accept it as a good faith effort. It is not necessary for those you received permission from to comment; we believe you! If you have no housing preference, simply put "N/A".

Character Name: Names, nicknames, whatever is applicable. In western order, please. If the character has no last name (adult males especially), you are free to either make one up or let us do it.
Character Series: 
Character Age: 
Background: We will accept copy/pastes or links to Wikipedia or another source, provided that the source reasonably explains the canon. This section is necessary, so if you can't find an explanatory source, you'll have to write something up yourself.
Personality: The more detailed here, the better. This lets us get a good feel for the character. Please try to back up your details with canon examples when you're getting past their basic character and more in-depth. Generally, we want to see at least four good-sized paragraphs.
Abilities: This section may end up being optional for you. If your character has any abilities or powers, such as magic, they'll be taken away upon arrival in Mayfield. These will come back over time, though.
Sample Entry: Please write as if you've already been accepted and writing an ordinary post from your character during their stay in Mayfield. Using an "introduction" post is fine, but we tend to discourage it, as the typical "who am I where am I what is this crazy place" format doesn't really give us a good grasp of how your character will behave on a daily basis. If you have trouble writing sample posts, we allow links to museboxes or other RPs to demonstrate as a sample. However, you'll want to post with the account you'll be linking to in that situation. Please make sure that your app is written in first person (!!!), as that's the format that will be used in the roleplay. Generally, we want to see at least five sentences, if not more. Prose log style samples will not be accepted. If you're confused about the distinction, we will be happy to explain. Remember, we're looking for FIRST-PERSON format; prose narration is fine, but it cannot make up the bulk of the entry.

When Applying for an Original Character, Fill Out the Following

Name: Not the character's name, but yours or however you'd like us to refer to you.
Personal Journal:
Contact Info: Any other way of contacting you. IM screen names, e-mail address, etc. AIM appears to be the common link between most players, so having a handle on AIM is preferable.
Other Characters Played: Any other characters you play at Mayfield, if applicable.
Preferred Housing: We encourage random matches, but if there is a particular house you want, you will need to contact every person in the house for permission. Please post your app AFTER doing this. If you cannot get in contact with any one person, please wait a week after contact and we'll accept it as a good faith effort. It is not necessary for those you received permission from to comment; we believe you! If you have no housing preference, simply put "N/A".

Character Name: Names, nicknames, whatever is applicable. In western order, please. If the character has no last name (adult males especially), you are free to either make one up or let us do it. 
Character Age: 
Background: For OCs, we require a detailed background to be fully written out. Please make sure to describe both the character's specific, personal background, and the world the character is from. If it is exactly like the real world, you'll still need to describe the location and the specifics of the society the character lives in (also please note here that we no longer accept 'Canon OCs,' so if this world is not one invented by you, the character is not appable).

This section will need to be somewhat long; there's no specific length we want, but we want to have a very clear feel of the character's backstory, so that we can compare it to the personality section.
Personality: This section is probably the most important. We're looking for at least six or seven paragraphs, but what's more important is that this be comprehensive and detailed. We want to see what makes your character tick, and we want to see that you understand what makes them tick and have fleshed them out as a character. Some things we will need to see include their important relationships and the major events in their lives and how these have shaped them, how they tend to interact with others and the world around them, their strengths and weaknesses, and what motivates them, among others.

If we do not have a strong sense of personality or it doesn't seem to match up with the background or sample, we will not accept the character even if your writing is strong.
Abilities: This section may end up being optional for you. If your character has any abilities or powers, such as magic, they'll be taken away upon arrival in Mayfield. These will come back over time, though.
Sample Entry 1: We're looking for a first person sample here; prose or action log format is not acceptable. If you write a sample, please write as though your character has already been accepted and is in Mayfield. You may write an introduction or first post, but we tend to discourage this, as the typical "who am I where am I what is this crazy place" format doesn't really give us a good grasp of how your character will behave on a daily basis. You may also use a link to a post in a dressing room, another game, or a musebox. We're looking specifically for a clear sense of character voice; spelling and grammar are important, but showing strong voice and characterization is more important than anything else. Remember, we're looking for FIRST-PERSON format; prose narration is fine, but it cannot make up the bulk of the entry.
Sample Entry 2: In this sample, we'd like to see a different side of your character than we saw in your first sample. This sample also needs to be in first person, but you may do a sample heavily based on introspection and action as long as it shows us a different side of your character and your first sample was strongly focused on speaking voice. For this sample, we will ask you to write something out as though your character is already in Mayfield. Please do not link to a sample elsewhere or use their first post/waking up in Mayfield here. That can go in the first sample instead.

• Before applying, please look over any applications that were recently accepted to get an idea of what we're looking for.

• If you apply for a character that has already been reserved, we will inform you and ignore the application until the reserve runs out. You may not apply for more than two characters from the same canon. For the sample entry, you may write your own entry, or use a post from a musebox, dressing room, or other game. We recommend testrun_box if you prefer the latter!

• After you're accepted, please follow all of the instructions given. You will need to reply to the acceptance, post your journal to the friend add page and your canon post, join the communities, and use the friend add page to update your journal. Once you're accepted, please introduce yourself on the community when you're ready to play.

• If your app is "Pending", do not freak out! This means that we need you to make some revisions, and does not mean you're rejected. We generally give players a chance to revise before rejecting them, but we will reject apps that do not address the concerns stated when we asked for a revision. If you have been rejected, our reply will clearly state this to be the case. If we have not gotten back to you yet, under no circumstance does this mean you are rejected. If it has been over a week since our last reply, it would be a good idea to contact us with a reminder, otherwise, please be patient!

• If you have received a "Pending" notice, you will have one week to supply us with your revisions, or your reserve will be considered expired and that someone else is free to apply for the character.

• The typical wait for a reply on apps may be anywhere from a day to a little over a week. If any part of your application requires a pending, it may be another week after your reply to that before we can get to you. We process a high volume of apps every round, so please be patient.

• If you have not heard back on a pending for over a week after apps close, please send a PM directly to the mod account.

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED.

Contact Info: [Bad username or site: ”gekifire” @ ”plurk.com”]
Other Characters Played: Hibari Kyoya, Basco ta Jolokia, Yukihina
Preferred Housing: N/A

Character Name: Hyuuga (Warsfiel might work as surname)
Character Series: 07-Ghost
Character Age: something on 30. 34 is the general guess that I'll go with until canon is given.
Background: http://07ghost.wikia.com/wiki/Hyuuga

Personality:
Despite the fact that he, as a soldier, should be serious in character, Hyuuga is both a very cheerful man and something of a ditz. He sees the world as a big game. He is most often all smiles and flowers and hearts, and he is happy most of the time. This is the case even in life-threatening situations, because he likes the thrill of fighting. He is a person called frivolous, and he never seem to take things seriously. He also have a very short attention span, and easily get offtrack. He is easily excited and distracted by new things. He even interrupts important conversations, as shown during a conversation about the Eye of Mikhail when he spot a bird outside the window. He even forget his paperwork after seeing a new stamp. He is playful, and love to tease people. He delights in winding them all up. This most of all concerns Ayanami, whom he think should relax more.
He love to pull pranks, as he is very mischievous, and the pranks are most often directed towards his subordinate Konatsu. He is a very clingy person, most of all to his superior Ayanami, who's well-being is very important to him. He cares a lot about his friends in the Black Hawks, and then, most of all for Ayanami, for whom he act like a bodyguard. He always try to cheer him up, but Ayanami always seem to get angry instead.
He is seen as over-friendly, and although his intentions are well-meant, he often annoy people with these antics. He has zero sense of personal space.
He enjoy meeting new people, and has recruited several of the members of the Black Hawks; even calling the Antwort Twins 'Souvenirs' when he brought them along from the battle at Antwort.
He is curious by nature, and he is the only one who dares to inquire or question Ayanami's schemes.

He is sadistic, but not to the extent of his dear Aya-tan. He has been seen humiliating superiors, in a seemingly innocent way. However innocent it is to cut off peoples pants with a sword. It was their own fault, though, as they insulted Ayanami in front of Hyuuga. Hyuuga does not take lightly upon that, even if Ayanami don't seem to really care.
He is skilled with the sword and has no hesitations to cut down anyone he considers a threat, and his smiling face can seem quite sinister during battle. Although he cares a great deal about the people important to him, he views human life with a cold indifference and kill those on his own side if they're in the way.
He is also somewhat masochistic, or else he wouldn't purposefully cross Ayanami's lines as much as he does. He is cheeky, and this is shown for his lack of respect for people of higher rank than him.
Though most of all, he is either stupid or naïve. He buys a 'magic pot' for a huge amount of money because he believe that it will make Ayanami less strict. He still wonders if the pot will work after he finds out that it was worth only 2'500 yen. He even considers finding the man who sold it to ask if it still works. That idiocy might just well be a facade, however, since if he set his mind to it, he can finish his paperwork in less than an hour; which he did to get Ayanami to agree on going to onsen with them all. He say that if he's really serious, he can do it.

He hate paperwork. When he sees it, he gets either sleepy or want to chop someone up, which also shows that he can be a bit unstable. He usually push the paperwork onto Konatsu. He even doodles on important documents that is in need of being signed. He prefers to sit around doing nothing instead of working.
He has trouble waking up in the mornings, and is sometimes late for work because of this. And he often yawns, as he get bored with things quickly.
He also say that Konatsu is cool when he is doing paperwork (but even cooler when he fights).

On the other hand, he absolutely love sweets. He is often seen eating something sweet, like candied apples, lollipops and such things. He has offered his candied apples to Ayanami, too, when he feel that his superior need to be cheered up. Never mind that he had already started eating it, and that he had had the apple in his mouth.

Despite everything, he is a very loyal person. Most of all to his superior Ayanami, who he always call 'Aya-tan'. Hyuuga is the only one who has the courage (or is insane enough) to call Ayanami anything besides his title of 'Chief of Staff Ayanami'. He give affectionate names for people that he like, and he easily get attached to new people that interest him. He absolutely loves Ayanami, and is willing to die for him. He is even willing to give him his soul. He has sworn to protect Ayanami as long as he lives. He also think that he can't die as long as he need to protect Aya-tan, because Ayanami just is that precious to him. He has stated that he 'will do anything for Aya-tan'.

Abilities:
He is very skilled in both combat with swords (he owns two katana that he wields), and is good at hand-to-hand combat. His speed with the sword is faster than eye can catch.

Attacking Zaiphon: It's the skill to manipulate pure life energy, mana, and skilled people can use it without any chanting. There are the healing type and the attacking type. Hyuuga has the attacking type, which he uses by channeling it into his swords. He is a very powerful Zaiphon user, and he ripped a hole huge in the ground with it. The Zaiphon skill become even greater when he uses it combined with his swords.

Warsfiel: A creature that has the ability to control a Wars (tainted zaiphon) even without the person having three wishes granted by Kor (sort of an..evil spirit). They are feared because of their destructive power, and in Hyuuga's case apparent immortality, and they are rumored to be dependent on souls, just like vampires to blood (however that is just a rumor, and nothing confirmed). Warsfiel can use a Wars to guard something, harming anyone who touches the item.

Half-a-Soul: It might be counted as an ability, if Ayanami is close-by. Hyuuga gave half his soul to Ayanami, and through that they can sort of.. communicate with each other. Ayanami can talk to Hyuuga, either way.

Sample Entry:

[ Anyone who pick up the phone will be met by a cheerful voice. Although it might be a little loud. ]

This place is quite interesting~ Though it would be even better if Aya-tan were here. How am I supposed to protect him if I'm not with him? I hope I can get back to Barsburg soon, so that they don't worry. Though Konatsu would probably just laugh if he saw what job I got assigned here...

[ A small sigh. ]

Hmm~

[ He sounds as if he just remembered something then. ]

Ah, and did you know~? I saw a flying ship today~ It's not at all like our fleet, but it's still interesting~ My world isn't the only one with space-craft~

[ His voice turns distracted as he chimes happily to himself. ]

Oh, found a lollipop~!

[ He sounds very content all of a sudden as he hums to himself while waiting for any responses to his call. ]
