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:


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 [community profile] 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.

Mrs. Lovett || Sweeney Todd || Reserved

[personal profile] sticktopriest 2012-02-09 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Personality:
Mrs. Lovett is best described as a lonely, middle aged widow who is consumed by her desire to raise a family and be successful in life. She spends most of her days constructing what she calls "The Worst Pies In London" despite the fact that she is unable to gain customers. Of course, when you live in a shop that's rumored to be haunted, chances are you won't get customers no matter how good your product is. Lovett's determined nature never moved her from her station -- despite all the horrible things said of her and her establishment, she never once moved in hopes that a certain Benjamin Barker would return to her.

Who is Benjamin Barker, you may as? Well, perhaps you may know him better as one Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Lovett's object of affection. In order to understand Lovett, you must understand Todd and what drives him, because as far as Lovett herself is concerned, there is no Lovett without Todd. She is completely consumed by her desire to wed him and assist him in extracting revenge, even if it means soiling her own good name. When Sweeney was released from prison, he began his murders above her pie shop on Fleet Street each time a man came in for a shave. Lovett would then take the bodies and use the meat to make meat pies sweet and savory, which she would then sell to the general public without them knowing exactly what sort of meat she was using.

Despite her more subtle nature in terms of plotting and planning, she can be a very loud and boisterous woman when the time calls for it, which was good when business began booming. In the symbiotic relationship she and Todd shared, Lovett was the guiding hand while Todd was the executioner. She acted as a voice of reason on the path to Sweeney's revenge, often settling his temper and risking her own life in the process to ensure that he didn't blow his cover. While Lovett could be seen as insane, it was certainly nothing compared to Sweeney himself.

Lovett's morals are skewed to fit her interests at the current time. For example, she and Todd pick up a young orphan boy by the name of Toby. At first, Lovett is extremely protective and motherly in regards to him. However, once he discovers Todd's secret, he immediately becomes a threat to both her and Todd himself, and so she attempts to dispose of him, though not without grief on her part. That said, Lovett is also not above lying to get what she wants. She twisted the story of Sweeney's old wife, Lucy, to make him believe she was dead without actually saying that she had died.

All in all, it can be said that Lovett is a superb actress and rather skilled at both lying and twisting the truth to fit her needs. She will acknowledge that she is not a good person, which is to say that she is not completely insane in her way of thinking. She is both determined and strong, but weak-willed in the face of love and other strong emotions. Above all, she is one of the most devoted and loyal acquaintances a person could ever hope for...which may or may not be a good thing, if you're one of the more morally upstanding sorts.

Abilities: Normal middle-aged Victorian woman. Her abilities include being awesome at baking and being a fierce, old, red-headed bitch.
