APPLICATIONS


APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED
Apps will open on June 23rd at 11:59 am EST



Player Cap: 30/70


RESERVES | APPS


Before you submit your application, please review the Applications and Reserves section of the info / faq page, as there are additional rules regarding malleable protagonists, CRAU characters, fandom OCs, canon caps, player caps, and other important things to note.

Applications will be processed in the order they are received and after the application cycle closes. We will only accept as many players as we have player slots, however, we will review all applications submitted during the cycle. Application cycles are not first come first serve, and instead will be judged on clarity of the app and samples.

Application revisions will have three days to submit adjustments. If not submitted in time, they will have to wait until the next application cycle to resubmit.

Application rejections will have to wait until the next application cycle to resubmit unless otherwise specified in the original rejection.

You may either post your application in a comment to this post, or link to it from your character journal.

Please use the following format for your comment in the subject line:
CHARACTER | CANON | RESERVED / NOT RESERVED

There is a limit of 2 characters initially maximum that can be played. (You can redeem additional character slots by way of the rewards page.) As with reservations, you may apply for 2 characters at a time.

Proxy applications are not accepted.

We do not accept application challenges.

We do not accept duplicate characters.

We only accept applications for 1 malleable protagonist in a cast. Malleable protagonists may not have preexisting relationships with other characters from their canon aside from base storyline. (Exceptions will potentially be made for CRAUs and handled on a case-by-case basis.)

Fandom OC characters are accepted, but may not have preexisting relationships with other characters from their canon. (Exceptions will potentially be made for CRAUs and handled on a case-by-case basis.)

CRAU characters are accepted, however, must not be so removed from their original canon state that they are unrecognisable. CRAU characters who carry a multitude of prior games may only carry over memories, relationships, and experiences from their most recent game.


APPLICATION FORM


Player:
Contact:
Age:
Current Characters: If applicable.

Character Name:
Character Canon: If applicable.
Canon Point:
Age:

Crime: All characters are accused of a crime upon their arrival, and it's printed on their indestructible parchment. This crime can be fitting of your character or ill-fitting. It can be a crime they've committed or a crime they would never commit. Consider that Expiation's definition of crimes may not mirror reflect what we think of when we consider crime in the real world. Feel free to think a little out of the box and more abstract. Fiction versus reality here doesn't so much make a difference. Please choose one crime, bearing in mind that there may be occasions in which the crime chosen could affect how a character interacts with certain events or situations.

Background: You may provide a link to a wiki, for canon characters. If your wiki has limited information, or your character may not have much canon behind them, you are expected to write supplemental details without leaning too heavily into headcanon. For OCs, you don't need to provide an overly verbose background, just enough to give an accurate portrayal of the world they come from and definitive experiences that are important to their character. For CRAUS, please specify additional information about what they are carrying over from their prior game. This can also be limited to definitive experiences and relationships.

Personality: Although this game heavily relies on the analysis and reflection of a character, we don't expect a dissertation. Please provide information on your character's motivations, how their relationships and experiences have affected or shaped them, and other related information. You may use character dialogue to further showcase this, but it's not expected. If you find it easier to use bullet point formats, feel free to do that. Please do not exceed 800 words.

Abilities: If your character has any special abilities (magic, weapon skills, and so on), please list them here. Remember that world-breaking abilities will be diluted.

Inventory: A list of inventory that your character is carrying on them can be put here. Characters will not have access to an infinite hammer space, so please only list things that would make sense for your character to be physically carrying.

Samples: Two recent samples from the last year are required and must adequately convey a character's voice. In a thread, we prefer at least five comments from you. At least one sample must be from the current TDM post. Other threads may be taken from bakerstreet, other games, or other memes.

During application review, not only will we be judging for characterization, but also longevity and completion of threads. Not all threads have to be finished before being submitted, but the mod team would like to see an effort in furthering the thread if it's not completed.

Questions: If you have any questions for the mod team, please include them here and we will address them during the processing of your application.

This is my journal! I previously had a permissions section in my info post, but since I need to update that anyway I'll go ahead and make a new post specifically for permissions.

Okay, so Terra Verde. Long story short, the mutants made an island nation called Krakoa and formed a CIA equivalent to do shady CIA-type things, including (but not limited to) semi-accidentally genociding and not-accidentally puppet-nationing a small Central American country called Terra Verde. Quentin was on the field team, because it was basically X-Men For Edgy Boys, and while he wasn't the mastermind behind any of this, he definitely participated in some really bad shit that was ostensibly for the Greater Good™. Here's a more detailed summary of the events.

For sentencing/characterization purposes, I just think it's interesting that the second Quentin "Teenage Rebellion" Quire finally joins a real grown-up team, he immediately drinks the Kool-Aid and trips into a pile of war crimes. While it's unclear how much he actually knew about what was going on behind the scenes, at a certain point "sorry I didn't notice the human rights violations, I was too busy pretending to be James Bond" doesn't cut it.

Hey! I'm happy to provide some extra links, just wanted to clarify what is meant by these being text only as all 3 threads are action, the non-tdms just started as text.

I'm genuinely not sure if I'm interpreting it too literally here, sorry! I can grab something with more internal dialog if needed.

this and this are a little more internal dialogue/emotion focused if that works! i've linked images since the game is private.

if not, it's cool, I'll wait for December and hit up the next TDM for some more log-like samples.

either way, thank you for reviewing her app!
