Guilty Souls Application
-------------------------


ABOUT YOU:

Name: [What d'you want me to call you on the list?]

Email: [To where d'you want the email delivered?]

Age: [Really, this is just me being nosy. Doesn't count for anything.]

AIM: [Are you annoying AOLer? Can we have your name, if you are?]

ICQ: [Or are you more the sort to enjoy flowers and foghorns? Hmm? If so, can I have your number?]

MSN: [D'you now or have you ever supported Bill Gates? And, if do, can we have your name?]

Y!IM: [Has the evil of Yahoo! spread to you as well? Well, quickly now, give us your name and we'll do all that we can to help you out!]

Webpage: [Have you staked your claim on the web? Can I see?]

Misc: [Anything else that you want to tell us about yourself? Do you see dead people? Can you juggle fish? Are your toes webbed? Do your teeth get sticky from eating bananas? Well, put it here!]


ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:

Name: [How shall we call your character? Bubba? Billy Jo Bob? Mommy? Tell me, here!]

Name Meaning: [Is there a special meaning behind the character's name or is it just something that sounded cool to you?]

Age: [How old are they?]

Date of Birth: [In which month and year where they born? Naturally this ties to the zodiac and the personality.]

Astrological Sign: [Where in the zodiac do they fall? Of course, remember that this ties back to personality.]

Bloodtype: [Again, this is another thing that ties back to their personality.]

Alignment: [Though, at the beginning, everyone except God and Satan are neutral, your character can still have a strong leaning toward one particular side, if you'd like.]

Strengths: [So, what sort of things does your character excel in? Can he do something that no one else can? Is he exceedingly charming or suave? Tell me, here, anything--either physical or emotional strenghts are good.]

Weaknesses: [Even the most perfect have weaknesses, so which can your character claim? Again, both physical and emotional weaknesses are good, as are just any basic fears.]

Likes: [So, what sort of things does your character like? This can include hobbies and the like as well]

Dislikes: [In contrast, what sort of things just drive them around the bend?]

Greatest Fear: [What, above all else, frightens your character?]

Motivation: [On the other hand, what, above all else, drives your character?]

Favorite Food: [Which specific food could your character live on for all eternity? Include a reason behind this, too, if there is one.]

Least Favorite Food: [In contrast, which food makes your character's stomach turn and, again, why?]

What grade are they in: [If your character is of school age, then which grade do they attend?]

Marks: [In said grade, what sort of marks do they bring in?]

Favorite Class: [Is there one class that your character enjoys above all else? Why is that?]

Least Favorite Class: [Conversely, is there one class that your character despises above all others? Again, why?]

Personality: [Well, now that you answered all the questions to the character's fears, likes, dislikes, motivations, and such, tie it all together and paint me a picture of your character's psyche. Describe in detail how he reacts to the crumbling world around them, how he feels about the state of New Eden. How he reacts to the people and places in his life. Be as desriptive and thorough as possible so that I can _really_ get to know what's going on behind the character's facade.]

Appearance: [Now, describe your character for us from head to toe! Tell us how they look, how they dress, how they carry themselves. Be just as descriptive as you possibly can!]

Social Status: [Is your character a geek? A nerd? A stud? A princess? A bully? Something else entirely?]

Love Life: [Does your character have a significant other? A crush? An unrequited love? Might as well include their sexual orientation, as well.]

Family, Friends: [We all have them, whether we want them or otherwise. List here, with brief descriptions, any immediate people in your character's life that may influence him one way or the other.]

Birthplace: [Where in the world were they born?]

Current Residence: [And where do they live now? Feel free to give us a good description of their place, while you're at it.]

History: [Now, this is _very_ important. I want you to tell me, in colourful detail, everything that has happened to your character up to this point in time, both the important and the mundane. What shaped them? What made them into the being that they now are? Again, please be _very_ detailed and thorough with this!]

Writing Sample: [Now, everyone's least favorite part of an application: the writing sample. What I want from you, here, is at least three paragraphs of writing centering around your character. It can be anything from a day in the life to the recapturing of an important event in their past to having them playing air guitar in the shower. Well, maybe not that last one. Still, that's three paragraphs _at least_, in the third person on any subject.]


Well, there you are! You're finally finished! Yes, I know that it was terribly long, but it really will be worth it in the long run. Now that you've finished this, copy all of it to your email program and send it along to never.draven(at)lycos(dot)com.

Good luck and thanks for applying!
