Nightshift-Only Application
You may apply to take a Nightshift-Only Character, (that is, a character who works on Landel's side and hunts down patients at night) if you've had at least one character in play for a month or more. A Nightshift-Only Character, unlike regular patient characters, doesn't necessarily have to be human, humanoid, or even sentient. You may apply for both a regular character and a Nightshift-Only character during the same application cycle, though, like regular character applications, we will only accept Nightshift-Only applications whenever the userinfo states that general Character Applications are open.

Take heed, however, that we reserve the right to turn down characters who would be way too powerful or who we can't find a way to fit in at all. (For example, a dragon or monster of some sort that's bigger than the Institute itself---unless, of course, you're willing to wait until some patients make it onto the big expanse of grounds around the Institute or something. XD;)

If you want to app a Nightshift-Only character, please fill out the application below and send it to damned.mods[at]gmail[dot]com. Your subject line for your application should mention that you're planning your character to be Nightshift-Only.

Name/Handle:
Age:
Gender:
Timezone:
Email Address:
Personal LJ username: (if you have one)
AIM/other messenger screenname: (if you have one)
Character you're applying for:
Series the character is from: (game, anime, etc; if applicable, please specify if we should list your character as from a specific game or the series itself---for example, Final Fantasy VI, VII, VIII, etc, or general Kingdom Hearts, depending on if a series' sequels are in different universes or such)
Character's age: (if his/her age is unknown or different from how he/she looks, please give us both an actual age and a specific age that the nurses will claim as his/her real age and be consistent with his/her appearance)
Character's gender:

How long have you roleplayed your character, if at all?:

Where have you roleplayed in general and/or with this specific character?: (specific boards, LJ communirties, general AIM, etc)

Have you played the game/watched the movie or anime/read the book or comic, etc. that your character hails from?: (Please don't give us a simple "yes" or "no" for this. Instead, tell us how much of your character's series you've been exposed to and/or give us an explanation of how familiar you are with your character's series.)

Please give us a detailed personal history of your character: (Where he/she was born, who he/she was raised by, achievements, goals, etc. Note: Please do not link us to an outside source such as Wikipedia for this; we want you to demonstrate your knowledge of your character through your own words. If you give us a link instead of a bio, we won't read it unless it's supplementary information.)

Please give us a detailed description of your character's personality:

Please give us a detailed physical description of your character:

What point in time are you taking your character from when he/she appears at Landel's?: (For example, first episode, end of series, pre-game, post-movie, etc.? You can choose whatever you like, but please be as specific and detailed as you can--if possible, right down to the moment.)

What kinds of magical/special/crazy powers does your character have, if any?:

If these powers need to be weakened in order to prevent your character from outright killing the patients he/she preys upon, please explain how you would do so: (Please be as detailed and reasonable as possible; we're very strict about godmodding!)

Does your character have any other non-magical skills or abilities that we should know about?: (This could be anything from innate physical strength to an area of intellectual study.)

Why do you feel like your character would work out better as a Nightshift-Only aggressor?:

How would you justify your character fighting on the Institute's side?: (Is he/she an evil goonie by nature? A mindless monster? Possibly brainwashed slightly so that their original goals have merged with that of Landel's?)

Third-Person Sample:

Replace this block of text with a sample post for us with your character in third person, past tense. We aren’t asking you to use a preset situation; just write him or her doing something that will give us a better idea of how you interpret him or her and a better understanding of how you approach writing in general. Your sample should be 500 words or more, though keep in mind not all your posts in the actual RP have to be that long. ;)

---

Finally, please attach a picture of your character to your email so we can get an idea of who you're talking about. (An official, full-body photo/illustration would be best, but if such a picture doesn't exist, go for whatever best alternative you can find. If your character is minor to the point that you don't have any pictures at all, please say so here and make sure that your physical description is as fleshed-out as it can possibly be.)

NOTE: We are looking for quality in our writers. We reserve the right to reject your application if we feel you don't have a strong command of your character or of the English language. These applications will be held to high standards, so we expect for you to do your best to meet them.
