APPLICATION

♦ THE APPLICATION ♦

♦ The colour codes for the smear are #000000 and the colour of whichever group your character is aspiring to join (workers, scouts, foragers, etc...). See below for the code that corresponds to each group.

♦ The dimensions for the application image are 400px by 250px. If, for any reason, you can't resize/crop the image you want to use, PM this admin account and we can do it for you. Don't be shy.

♦ The height to weight ratio of your character has to be somewhat credible. This chart (link) can be a good guide for this, unless, of course they're considerably under or overweight. Or heavily muscled, who knows.

♦ The words under 'personality' are six to eight personality traits which you feel that best summarize your character. You can use as many as fits on the line. Here (link) is a useful list of traits you can use if you're stuck or at a loss for a word.

♦ The personality of your character can be as long as you like (but I have to stress that this isn't a challenge) but the minimum is around 150 words or two paragraphs. This is where you can flesh out your character's behaviour towards how life was before and how it is now, towards people, be them friends or enemies, how they act under pressure or life-threatening situations, how they handle stress and, generally, what sort of person they are. Here you can throw in things such as how they choose to dress and odd little quirks they might have.

♦ Your character's history doesn't have to be anything spectacularly long either although a minimum of 250 words or three paragraphs is preferred. Here you can really dig into the nitty-gritty that made your character come to be who they are today, be it that they had an easygoing life before the outbreak happened or they were child of tragedy anyway. You can divide the three paragraphs up so each one corresponds to life before the outbreak, when all the drama went down and then during the aftermath.

♦ Keep the strengths to weaknesses ratio balanced. Don't go overboard on the useful skills they have. Unless they were a prepper or some sort of survivalist before the outbreak happened, not many characters are going to have a wide library of skills.

♦ Face claims from any anime series, manga or video game are good to use. Webcomics... ehhh, kinda unsure about that one so best not. Original drawings drawn by you are alright to use but you have to PM this admin account first with examples. They have to be drawings of acceptable quality; not smudged, unclear and, to be frank, bad doodles.

♦ The code for the application is under the spoiler tag.
