Application
| 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
One of your samples doesn't have ten comments from your character, and combined the two samples don't add up to twenty comments from your character, so we'll need either a longer thread sample or a sample you've written out yourself.
Please reply to this comment with your revisions within three days or your slot will be forfeit.
REVISION
The alarm function on his tablet suddenly blares, breaking the silence. Eight o'clock. Almost by habit he pulls back the heavy curtains and looks outside. Growing up in southern, warmer climates, snow is still a novelty to him, even if it's utterly obnoxious and cold and wet, but he can appreciate it a lot more when he's inside--
There is a man outside the window.
It's just far away enough that Alex can barely see it, lingering at the back of an alley across the street. A black, tailored suit and pale, unnatural flesh -- it blends in almost perfectly against the growing dark and falling snow, but Alex knows. He would know it anywhere.
There's no rush of panic, no startled scream, just lead-heavy dread dropping into the pit of his stomach as he closes the curtains, steps back, and tries to breathe. I knew it. I knew it. It's here.
It won't be enough, but he checks the latches on the window (shut), the locks (bolted), the chair wedged underneath the doorknob (hasn't budged). He learned quickly that all the houses in Norfinbury lock themselves at night that first night -- he still has the shoulder bruises from throwing himself against a door -- and he knows, logically, that he doesn't need to do any of this, but it gives him a small measure of comfort. These are things he can control. If it wants in, it's going to get in, but it won't be because he overlooked something and let it.
He grabs his tablet and sits down in front of the front door to wait.
It's going to be a long night.
ACCEPTED
A standard single-story house with a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom, and bedroom. There's a hanging bird cage in the living room, but the door has been left open and there's no sign of bird remains inside.
