applications
Applications are currently OPEN.
You may apply for up to two characters per month, with a total character limit of two.
In order to make sure no one canon dominates the game, we currently have a cap of 20 characters from the same franchise.
If you are applying for an Original Character, please read our page on that here and apply using the OC application provided there.
Please make sure to familiarize yourself with the setting, rules and faq before applying. Ensure your character is not already on the Taken list, fill out all sections of the application in an unlocked post, and reply with either a link or the complete app in a single comment.
AS OF OCTOBER 2016: Accepted applicants will also be assigned a random room from our database. This can be the room that the character arrives in or simply the next one they walk into. Wholly an optional feature, we're providing it as a prompt to give players an extra jumping-off point.
All applications are screened at all times.

PLAYER INFORMATION
PLAYER: Whatever you’d like us to call you! And while this isn’t a requirement, providing your preferred pronoun for the sake of your own comfort is an option open to you.
AGED 18+? This game will address and explore adult themes, so you must be at least 18 to app here.
RESERVED? If you reserved this character tell us here.
IN-GAME CHARACTERS: List who you already play here. If no-one, please remember that new players need to have a current player invite them by replying to the invites page.
CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: First name-last name order, please.
CANON: This is where you tell us the media from whence your character hails! Must be “officially” published, i.e. no vanity presses.
CANON POINT: Where in their storyline does your character enter the game?
ARRIVAL TYPE: Accidental, involuntary or rescued.
IC USERNAME: The Lockbox app is text only and mimics “real world” social media, so your character will need an IC username. Be as silly or as serious as you want; first name dot last name is as valid as glittergal79.
HISTORY: A wiki link or similar is fine here; if no pre-written summary exists, just provide us with a short outline of your character’s role in their canon.
PERSONALITY: 300 WORDS OR LESS on the nature of the character, or a series of dot points outlining their major traits. The focus should be on their strengths, weaknesses, adjectives and affect — relationships or actions in canon are secondary concerns.
INVENTORY: Requested inventory upon arrival. Other than weaponry and magical items, this section is optional. Bear in mind the mods may require revisions/place restrictions here, but we’ll do our best to work with you as necessary.
CHANGES: If you’re apping a character with abilities powerful enough to break the setting, (i.e. reality manipulation, magic, teleportation), or who are physically incompatible with a regular environment, here’s where you give us an idea of how you plan to adapt them. You are also welcome to nerf characters who you would prefer to play without their abilities, such as making a vampire human.
SAMPLES
We require three samples of you writing this character. They can be any combination of:- A link to 10+ spam comments (such as network tags, TFLN, dear_mun or action spam).
- A link to 3+ prose comments (including lengthy and descriptive writing in brackets.)
- A link to a fic or drabble.
- A link to a previous game's comm tag for the character.
- A thread from the Clock Box test drive meme.
- A 200+ word prose sample set in the Clock Box.
We're not going to be too picky about length requirements, just put your best foot forward! Mostly we're interested in your writing ability, your tagging style, and your fit for the game. We would appreciate at least one cross-canon sample, but it is not necessary
