• 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:
When Applying for an Original Character, Fill Out the Following
• 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.
Sample Entry: (from his previous stay at Mayfield. If this isn't okay, please let me know and I will write a new sample!)
Any motivated, hard working, diligent young man would have been getting ready for work at this time of day, but Scout wasn't any of those. Well, he'd tell you he was, but he really didn't care to be motivated for work right now. After all, he worked in a construction yard doing menial labor for a pathetic pay -- not his profession of choice.
Wearing casual clothing (and not a construction vest or anything like that), Scout casually strolled around his front yard, eying up the large, colorful mushrooms that were splayed about the grass. He didn't recall them being there earlier, but it was possible that he simply didn't notice. He crouched down in front of the biggest one he could see, then poked it. It was almost as if the mushroom were made of rubber, the way it bounced back into shape as soon as his finger pulled away.
It reminded him of candy. The color, the way it moved when poked, the ...
While the thought of delicious grape candy fluttered through his mind, the RED haphazardly grabbed the fungus and shoved it into his mouth before actually realizing what he was doing and chewed. The taste was interesting -- it wasn't grape, or anything like that, but it wasn't too terrible either.
"Mmm, ah, ahkay, dis ain't so bad."
He stood up and suddenly felt a wave of dizziness rush through his head. He closed his eyes for a moment to regain his composure, and when he reopened them, the neighborhood was blue. Everything was blue. The BLU team. Builders League United.. Memories of battles fought at the Granary, the Dustbowl, and the Gravel Pit (among others) quickly flashed in an almost photographic manner in his mind.
He wasn't in Mayfield anymore, at least, he thought. Sure, the town looked the same, but everything was BLUE. And that meant pretty much one thing, and one thing only. Somehow, sometime, the enemy team had taken over the point. And Scout knew he had to defend what was rightfully his, by any means necessary.
