| Application | |||
Applications are closed permanently. Thank you to everyone who has applied over the years! Before applying for a character, make sure you've read the rules and FAQ. You should also refer to the application guide to see what we're looking for in our applications. You may apply for one character per application cycle and three characters total. Please put your character's name and canon in the subject line of your application comment. Applications must be posted directly to this post and cannot be links. We will screen your application if you request it of us after we review it. Application challenges are allowed, but someone who did not place a reserve challenge cannot challenge a reserved application. Once reservations expire, an application challenge can only be placed before we process the character application of the applicant you would like to challenge. In the event of us nearing our application cap and having more applications than slots, we will attempt to choose the most well-written applications. First-time applicants will be processed first, then applications for second characters, and finally applications for third characters. We may allow more applications to be submitted than we have slots for in the name of greater selection. We will clarify in our response if an application is not being allowed into the game because of the cap or because of issues with the application not meeting the standards of the game.

REVISION REQUEST
While the understanding of Sylar's character is demonstrated clearly, we would like a little more information as to how specifically he will behave as "Zane." As it is at odds with his true nature and yet a crucial part of how he would interact with other people, we would like the personality section to describe his facade with more nuance, and how it may be affected as Sylar comes into contact with various kinds of people.
Please reply to this comment with your revisions within three days or your slot will be forfeit.

As Sylar presented him to Mohinder Suresh, Zane Taylor was an enthusiastic, kind-hearted, rather nervous man. He'd often be seen worrying at the tips to his sleeves, and when he spoke, it was softly and nervously. Sylar did his best to project an air of innocence, so his version of Zane could come off as rather a naive idiot at times. Since Mohinder liked to talk, Zane was tailored around that, being a very good listener that encouraged the speeches.
In Norfinbury, the personality of Zane would have to be adjusted somewhat. Unfortunately Sylar can't change it entirely, since Mohinder is there as well, but it will shift a little. The Zane in Norfinbury will be more subdued (Sylar can't keep up that level of enthusiasm indefinitely). His online presence will be more stumbling than Sylar likely wants it to be- he's not exceptionally good with network technology or etiquette, and it'll take him some study time before he gets used to it. He'll probably try to write this off as Zane being, again, rather slow on the uptake.
Zane will, however, ask a lot of questions. In Norfinbury, he's going to be exceptionally curious, and observant people will likely be able to tell that the way he asks questions is rather different when interacting with different people. With reticent people, he'll be more cautious, sidling up to them with unrelated questions before asking the one he cares about. With enthusiastic people, he'll attempt to mirror their responses. With obnoxious people, he'll let them insult him without noticing and continue on, apparently oblivious.
Zane appears to care a great deal about people's health and well-being, and will frequently ask people (especially the ones he ends up getting close to) about how they're doing. However, actively helping out will be something that he'll just keep 'missing the opportunity' for. The mysterious of the town will almost certainly catch Sylar's attention far more than someone else's needs. If he ends up in someone's actual physical vicinity, of course, Zane will suddenly put more effort into caring. However, because Sylar's level of caring is actually quite shallow, Zane's likely to come off as rather shallow as well.
ACCEPTED
The back half of this two-story A-frame house has collapsed, but the living room on the first floor and the balcony on the second are still accessible and, in the case of the living room, seal up at night. The plugs in the living room work all night, but while the electricity is working, the house has a heavy, almost suffocating atmosphere.
