Applications
Applications are reviewed during Wednesdays, starting at 8pm Eastern Time. This may change as the game expands.
Before the game starts, applications will be accepted on Fridays!
Updated note, on April 7th: Applicants who have applied and have been accepted will stay in the game; not to worry about that.
Before you Apply:
! We request that players be 18 and over to play within this game setting! While this is not a sex game, there may be extremely graphic images of torture and body horror within.
!Please make sure you've familiarized yourself with our RULES & FAQs. There will be a question there that is asked on our application!
! Make sure your character hasn't already been TAKEN or RESERVED by someone else.
! If you have a RESERVE for your character, please indicate as such in the subject line of your application.
! Plagiarizing any part of your application is not acceptable. Reusing portions applications from other games is okay, as long as that application was written by you. If we are presented with evidence that you have plagiarized, you will be permanently banned from applying for that character and banned from applying for any other characters during the current application cycle. Linking for history is understandable; however, for samples, personality, and other sections, if you plagiarized or lie as to who you are you will be permanently banned. First and final warning.
! You may post your application either on your character's journal and provide a link in the comments, or you may post it directly in the comments below. If you opt for the former, however, we ask that you please either disable customized comment pages, or at least ensure that your character's journal layout is reasonably legible.
! Remember that you may only apply for one character at a time. In order to apply for more characters, you need to pass activity check. That means one per twenty eight days!
We will state again for players to please contact the moderators if you are applying for a character under the age of 16. We love playing kid characters! They add a new angle, like any character in a game. However, we'd like to make sure that they're not overwhelmed by the trauma that this game may inflict.
If you'd like to speak to us about aging your character up, or power limiting, please let us know! We'd love to work with you.
We don't bite hard, we promise!

Fandom Character Applications:
Name: What's your handle? We'd like to have something to call you! Age: Are you over 18? Contact Information: Any means of contact that you are comfortable with sharing; this includes plurk, AIM, MSN, skype, email address, and dreamwidth accounts! Other Characters: Just checking now many you have already! Character Name: Names and nicknames, in Western order (first name, surname) Canon: Where is your character from? What book or movie or series or video game or anime? Canon Point: Where in the series are you taking them from? Age: How old is your character? Why do you feel this character would be appropriate for this setting? Suitability. This is more or less us making sure that you've given this consideration. There may be elements of the game that's considered triggery for some characters, if not the players. We'd like players to consider before apping in-this section can be a break or make the application, believe it or not! What are they bringing? (limit 3) You can choose up to THREE items to bring with your character. No, you don't have to choose clothes unless they're magic infused power armour. Sadly, no pets allowed at this time. That might be changed in the future though! Abilities/Powers: Please assume canon-blindness and explain in as much detail as possible. (We'd also love to hear any drawbacks to these powers!) Background/History: A link to a source about the canon is fine for this. Previous Game History: (optional) At least two paragraphs on important events for the character and how they have been shaped by the previous game. If this is not applicable, please delete this section. Personality: A very important section! We ask that you could please write 300 words at a minimum. Consider us canon blind. We want to hear their voice, to know who they are! It's understandable if the character seems shallow, if they are a minor or a untalking video game protagonist. Take this as a challenge to expand! A little head canon never hurts anyone. If you run out of things to write, think of how they react physically to their environment and to emotional situations, how they stand, if they meet peoples eyes, the impact of their culture, if they are a listener or a speaker, etc. These can add up to make a detailed description! Triggers What can trigger your character? Generally these can be uncomfortable topics, situations, or people. What sort of things would you like to avoid for them (or not!) and why? If they don't have any triggers, do you think they will develop in game? What kind? 1st Person Sample Entry: Min. limit 100 words and 5 sentences, meaning you should have at least 5 sentences that add up to 100 words. Must take place within Exploration Zero setting. If you can't think up anything, we have some options! You can write on their 1) reaction to waking up in the Birdcage Manor, 2) feeling ill after eating something from the forest, 3) your character has found a stack of booze; what do? You can also choose a fourth option by writing 'Mod interview!' and the moderators will give you a list of five questions for your character to answer. 3rd Person Sample Entry: A third person sample of at least two paragraphs of 350 words. Again, if you can't think up anything, we have some options for you: 1) Waking up in the Birdcage Manor, 2) Finding a room of mirrors and feeling like you're being watched, 3) Stumbling upon a grotesque mask that gives them an extremely bad feeling, 4) Being locked outside the manor without your phone device. |

That might be changed in the future though! Abilities/Powers: Please assume canon-blindness and explain in as much detail as possible. (We'd also love to hear any drawbacks to these powers!) Background/History: Please explain their world in at least 200 words. Is it a world of science? Supernaturals? Dystopia? We'd love to hear about the world, and see how they can relate to the new world they are about to enter! Previous Game History: (optional) At least two paragraphs on important events for the character and how they have been shaped by the previous game. If this is not applicable, please delete this section. Personality: A very important section! We ask that you could please write 300 words at a minimum. Consider us canon blind. We want to hear their voice, to know who they are! It's understandable if the character seems shallow at first. This may have been the first time they've been outside of a story environment, or a meme. Take this as a challenge to expand! A little head canon never hurts anyone. If you run out of things to write about, how about their physical traits, verbal ticks, or reactions to certain situations? How do they stand? How do they treat people younger than them, or those in positions of authority? If that does not help, think of how they react physically to their environment and to emotional situations, how they stand, if they meet peoples eyes, the impact of their culture, if they are a listener or a speaker, etc. These can add up to make a detailed description!

We apologize for the delay.
ACCEPTED!
After a snippet of song, a strange taste in the mouth, or a crawling sensation on the skin, your character will find themselves waking up on a bed with a strange device strapped on their wrist and the sun shining down on them through the curtains of a room they have never seen before. Perhaps they are surrounded by people they have never seen. The view outside the window reveals a dense forest and a view outside the room, a dilapidated hallway.
This is the Birdcage Manor. Do enjoy your stay.
