Apps will open on June 23rd at 11:59 am EST



Player Cap: 52/70


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.

Whoops! Thanks for the note about the links, that's what I get for formatting on mobile.

I added some details on her relationship with Rakan to the backstory, clarifications in the personality section, and I fixed the links.

Player: Nova
Contact: PM
Age: 21+
Current Characters: N/A

Character Name: Jack Kingsley
Character Canon: Original Character
Character Point: When he discovers
that he is now being chased by the company for fear of what he knows.
Age: 22

Crime: Stealing confidential documents detailing a massive cover-up
from the company that he works for. He is being hunted down for it.

Background:
Jack Kingsley lived a normal suburban life in a world like ours. He was an only child to his two loving parents. However, it took only a short time for things to go awry. When Jack was five years old, he experienced something that he could not explain, yet would determine the rest of his life.

One August morning, the Kingsley family arrived at the park of the neighborhood for a stroll. It was eerily void of people, and the family grew to be on edge. Suddenly, the surroundings grew much brighter, and a mechanical whir could be heard stirring above them. There was nothing to be seen other than the bright light and nothing to be heard apart from the screams of Jack’s parents. Before he even had a chance to say anything or call out, Jack woke up. He was lying on the sidewalk, paralyzed in fear, and realizing that his parents were gone.

Jack desperately tried to get help, but who would believe him? No one, to his knowledge, had seen what his family had. His parents weren’t home or at work. Whenever he called for help, it was as if his parents had never existed. No one recognized the names or even Jack. He was taken in by a foster family two days later.

When with the new family, Jack did his due diligence to find out what had happened to his parents. His searches were for not until he had come across a book detailing alien encounters and claims of abductions. A few questions later, Jack felt he had his answer. To this day, Jack believes that his parents were abducted by aliens. He dedicated his life’s work to understanding foreign invaders and the supernatural.

These studies led him to find a career after college with a company that owns a channel on television that tries to find answers for the world unknown, mainly cryptids. When an expedition to search for extraterrestrials turned up nothing on the show, Jack became curious and found that they had found foreign invaders to be real, but had not disclosed the information for a much larger cover-up. Jack is found to have stolen documents and knows classified information. He is now on the run from the company and police as he uses the information he has stolen to find a way to get his parents back.

Personality:
Jack is an upbeat person when it comes to his passion and life mission of studying the occult. He doesn’t have any close relationships, not even with his foster family. His sole mission in life is to find his parents, and he will tell anyone who will listen about it (which is usually no one). He is the eccentric type, finding any way to tie what is happening in his life back to cryptids and the supernatural.

Abilities:
Handgun/Rifle Proficiency
Ability to use firearms with excellent aiming and control. Ammunition is in great supply.
Well-Read
Knowledgeable about most things and can identify symbols, languages, etc.
Keen Sense
Can detect threats before they’re revealed.

Inventory:
Pistol, Notebook, and Pencil
