Livejournal: Your personal journal. This is mandatory, even if you do not normally use your livejournal.
AIM/MSN/Y!M: IM is not required, but highly advised. [info]
Experience: Tell us about how much experience you have had with either roleplaying or writing as a whole. Don't worry if this is your first time; we're very open to first-timers!

Character Name:
Age:
Race: not everyone is human -so whatever you are, list it here.
Magic:
Do you have any magic? You don't have to, but list anything that could fall into that category here

Class: Are you part of the Day Class or Night Class?
Year/Subject: Since this is a high school, what year are they? If you're applying as a teacher just list a subject instead

Why do you wish to play this character?:

History: Provide a general history for your character, describing their personality and background.
If you apply for a character that has been previously taken, you are allowed to take up the previous character's written history or you can write your own

Posting Writing Sample:

This should be written in third-person, past tense, and the minimum length should be about two paragraphs. The point of the writing sample is to show us how you plan to play your character, so try to write a scene where much of their personality can come out. This is the most important part of the application, so spend the most time on this. Also, word economy is important; while long applications are fine, make sure that everything in the application matters.

Journal Writing Sample:

This can be written in either first person present tense, or third person past tense. The idea of the journal is to explore the inner musings of your character and give insight into a character that doesn't usually spill their feelings or thoughts.  This part of the writing application is a little looser, it's more creative than being judged so have some fun with it!

Yukino Part 2
[info]dreximgirl
2008-05-28 06:34 pm UTC (link)
Posting Writing Sample:

Yukino removed her square glasses, raising her other hand to wipe at her eyes. She had expected the tears ever since she’d left Fuuka the day before but when they hadn’t come she had accepted that she had made the right decision and they wouldn’t be flowing anytime soon. Looking at the school sitting in front of her she realized she should never second guess her emotions. Replacing her glasses, she took a deep breath as she slowly started making her way up the path to the main entrance.

This was it; her chance to start again, a place where no-one knew her or her past. A place where no-one knew Haruka. Haruka. She hadn’t said goodbye, in truth since the carnival ended she had avoided her best friend. Yukino hadn’t realized how hard it would be, she thought everything would go back to normal. But it didn’t. The knowledge of how she felt about Haruka was always there, between them. Haruka hadn’t said anything, she hadn’t needed to. Yukino could see the wariness in her eyes whenever they had been alone together. So she had used her capabilities and found this school. Haruka wouldn’t follow her; that much she knew. So this was her fresh start.

Opening the door she smiled politely at the lady behind the desk, “Hello” she said tentatively, “My name is Yukino Kikukawa”


Journal Writing Sample:

Well I’m here and it’s different to Japan, but there seems to be a lot of people here from all over the world. Not that I’ve met many people yet, I haven’t really ventured from my room. Luckily I don’t have any roommates so far. I unpacked everything earlier and came across a photograph of Haruka, I must have packed it without realising. I know I should put it back into my suitcase but it seems so right sitting on the bedside table. I’ll put it away once I’m settled in more.

I haven’t been here for a day yet and already I miss her. Maybe they were right, I rely on her too much and can’t survive alone. But I can’t live knowing she doesn’t trust me. I need to move on. I have to move on. And in order to move on, I need to move out of this room and find people. You can do this Yukino Kikukawa, after everything you’ve been through, this should be easy.

Apping a character

Experience: I've been writing for many years for myself, including fanfiction and original stories. I've written two one-act plays which have been performed at my high school. I am working on a story for Erica Friedman's "Yuri Monogatari," she seemed to enjoy the writing I submitted, :)

I RPed for a short while with the character Claudine from "Claudine!" but gave up because the RP I was a part of had no idea who she was, as well as was far from being yuri-friendly. I also RPed a strange half-of-a-school girl in KHcrack, but I was honestly just trying to annoy people.

Character Name: YOO Shi-Eun
Age: 17
Race: South Korean
Magic: Magic diary writing skills. You'd have to see the movie. Oh, yeah, telepathy.
Class: Day class
Year/Subject: Junior

Why do you wish to play this character?: Shi-Eun is a very tragically beautiful character from one of Korea's first films about lesbians, "Memento Mori." As much as it is a "horror" film, it is more a moving recounting of a couple that initially seems to have it all figured out but end up falling apart under social pressure and mistrust. If you haven't seen Memento Mori, I'd say watch it.

History: YOO Shi-eun was a member of her school's Track Team, although she was advised not to be, because of her ear-related ailments. MIN Hyo-shin, a beautiful though strange girl who is alienated by her classmates, admires her, and one day, while the two are in detention together (for sneaking out of an assembly) they find themselves admitting their feelings and begin to write a diary together about their love. However, Hyo-shin ends up cheating on her while inebriated, shattering the trust they once shared... nothing Hyo-shin can do or say can bring them back together. Shi-eun tells her off harshly, and Hyo-shin kills herself... and then takes her vengeance on the students in their school from beyond the grave. Min-ah, a younger student, finds their shared diary and becomes attracted to Shi-eun, trying to protect her at every turn.

Personality-wise, Shi-eun is very quiet, simply because she is near-deaf. She is also stand-offish and gives of an air of tension because she does not wish to have anyone see her as weak. She is a bit mistrustful, though apparently quite creative and loving. Also, she doesn't always do well with public relationships.

Posting Writing Sample:

Sitting silently on her bed, Shi-eun slipped on her head-phones, pressing the "play" button... nothing. Just a whisper of music, as if through deep water, or maybe in a memory from years ago? With anger she tore them from her useless ears, and onto the floor they fell. The tape deck popped open. That was stupid, she though, chewing her lip. She kicked her legs over with a bit more drama than she had intended (perchance a habit she had picked up from Hyo-shin? Or maybe one she'd created for her, to entertain?). While she contemplated such things, she recovered her Walk man from its resting place.

[Min-ah], she called silently, within her head, the image of her youthful new acquaintance on the tip of her mind. [Min-ah, I want to listen to music...]

There was nothing but that watery noise in her ears, barely a noise at all, and she wondered if Min-ah could hear her even though they were far apart. She closed her eyes momentarily, about to call again, louder this time, and then--

A symphonic explosion enveloped her mind. She felt a small smile tug at the corner of her mouth... if only Min-ah liked something other than Classical Music...

Journal Writing Sample:

I wonder sometimes exactly what is she
Does she truly find solace in me?
It is true that there is warmth within she
But is that warmth reserved for me?
"We kiss with poison apples" said she
These kisses poison me
In the corners of our mind I search for she
Though within our mind there is not room for me
I am not gone without that anchor, she
But I fear what will become of me.
*this would be arranged in an interesting fashion, accompanied by pictures of Hyo-shin or something else.*

Experience: I sometimes write average-leveled, I think fanfics. I know my English teacher likes my style of writing. :D However, my roleplaying experience is close to zero. =( Also, please don't mind my British English.

Character Name: Kouzuki Kallen (Japanese Format). Also know as Kallen Stadtfeld (Western Format).
Age: 17
Race: Human
Magic: Nope. No magic. Just a pocket-knife that looks like a normal cute pink wallet.

Class: Day Class
Year/Subject: 11

Why do you wish to play this character?: She's a tsundere, and it's fun to write in her point of view.

History: Her ('more superior race', Britannian) father doesn't care much for her anymore (which is probably a mutual feeling) and her ('one of the inferior race', Japanese, but dubbed in her world as 'Eleven') dear mother is degraded to one of his maids in the family mansion; her beloved older brother was tragically killed in one of their rebellions for Japanese individuality. Apparently, she prefers to be called Japanese despite having Britannian blood in her veins.
Tends to be quite secretive and lashes out when a person hits something too personal for her tastes. Can be quite argumentative. She's also a good actress which is evident in the fact that in her previous school she was under the gentle, weak-hearted persona (so she wouldn't be caught as being in a resistance group and to explain her mass absences; if she suspects someone knowing her true identity, she would 'get rid' of them with her pocket knife that is with her at all times, she knows how to fight hand-to-hand very adequately and knows how to work with firearms) whilst in actual fact she is quite blunt and strong mentally and physically. Although, her bluntness doesn't apply when it involves relationships.

it's like tl;dr

Posting Writing Sample:

Kallen hefted the duffel bag's strap that was on her shoulder closer to her neck.

After Area 11 had regained independence once again as Japan and that her only family, her mother, was back on her feet and leaving peacefully in the mansion where the others also lived in, said mother had told her to pursue her education again. No, no, don't worry about the fact that her dear daughter was one of the brightest students (the now all-abandoned) Ashford Academy had received.

"'I need to know what a proper high school life is like without racial discrimination', huh…?" she muttered her breath. She held her head high, face determined. "As long as it makes my mother happy. My real mother."

But she couldn't help but ponder on her worries of how the others were doing. Was Ougi, her brother's best friend, okay? Well, he must be since he's now happily married with Viletta. And Toudou is now with Chiba, and Lelouch – Zero – is with…

She would forget him.

She would especially forget her.

Not knowing she had stopped walking whilst in the midst of her thoughts – and just in front of the door, no less! – she took another step, opened said door and let herself through.

"Good morning," her voice came out too polite and too airily – and reminded too much of her old persona. Mentally shaking her head, she was reminded of her mother's words of being herself for once whilst attending the academy. "I'm Kallen Kouzuki."

Journal Writing Sample:

This place doesn't seem like what that pizza woman had described. Or maybe it was one of her usual lying moments…and I'm thinking about her again!

Argh.

Mother was right though, everyone here seems to be from everywhere and yet there's no discrimination going around. I…guess it would nice to have a proper education in a atmosphere like this…

ps. I wonder how well she and Rafia Stonemore will get along. Rafia is, for one, a vampire, but she is uber british and acts a little too high class for her own good...

Posting Writing Sample:
The world was dark now, and so very cold. Randy lay in the dark, on the floor, staring up at the water damaged ceiling in the room where she had been carelessly left to die. Her body was beaten and bruised, her nose and lip bloody, her clothes ripped, her bones broken. The room smelt of petrol and sawdust. She was probably lying in a puddle… but how would she know, she couldn’t feel anything. She closed her eyes and waited. Waited for death to come and claim her. And then she could rest.
But what was this? Hands on her face. She could hear crying. Who was it? Was it Juska, that lying bastard? Her eyes flickered open with the last bit of strength she could muster. It was Juska. She wished she wasn’t dying so she could kill him. Her eyes slid shut again.

Her lips were covered. ‘Oh no you don’t, you fuck. You’re not kissing me. You’re everything I hate, everything I want dead. You’re a vampire, everything I was brought up to hate. I hate you.’ That’s what she would say if she could move her lips and tongue.
Coppery and warm. Salty. That’s not saliva, that’s… ‘fuck! No! Fuck off! I am not becoming one of you!’ Her mind screamed. But all she could do was lay there and take it.
And then the remarkable happened. With her last shreds of strength, she punched him in the jaw. It was unexpected, to say the least. This wasn’t her strength, this was Juska’s. She could move now, and she got to her knees, glaring at the whimpering boy on the floor in front of her. His gun had fallen from his holster and was soon in Randy’s hands. She clicked the safety off and cocked it, breathing heavily, shoulders heaving with rage. “You cunt.” She spat, strength and fierce anger flowing through her veins. With a quick squeeze, the gun fired, and the air was full of red mist.

Journal Writing Sample:
Today I got to school at 7:45am, just in time for a cigarette behind the toilets with Juska before English. We had to read ‘Le Morte D’Arthur’ by Sir Thomas Mallory and neither Juska nor I understood it.

“It’s like fucking Chinese to me,” he said, exhaling smoke and squinting at the old book we had been issued. We had to answer questions about it, but our teacher just looked to see if we had writing on our pages. I once wrote ‘you are such a stupid slut’ in the middle of a paragraph and she overlooked it.

Once our shared cigarette had finished and had been stamped on, we sat through an hour of nodding our heads and smiling as our tutor talked on about Sir Lancelot and Guinevere’s affair. I knew a bit about the Arthurian legends through television, but all this old English stuff was way over my head. I drew in my notebook instead of listening.

I got my English essay back and got a B-. Juska got a D. Daddy’s gonna be mad.

I know I should start my essay that is due Wednesday, but I spent the rest of the day slacking off. Morrissey’s been texting me some weird shit. I’m too tired to understand what the hell he’s going on about. He must be on acid again.

(yeah yeah, copy paste, i just want to make sure no one feels they got a warmer welcome ^.^) one question though, is Juska dead or still alive? In the background you said he is dead, or rather, he dies, but in the samples you wrote him as if alive. and again, i wonder how she'd react to rafia being around?

Experience: I have had a little bit of online roleplaying, but have 4 years of offline rolplaying. I have been writing stories for over 3 years, but mainly do it as a hobby, I write everything from fanfic's to original stories.

Character Name: Satsuki Tanaka/original character
Age: 17
Race: Vampire
Magic: able to create and control fire (everything from a small flame to (try's really hard to control) a forest fire).

Class: Night Class
Year/Subject: Junior

Why do you wish to play this character?: I created this character over a year ago, so I know her very well. That and I couldn't think of an anime character that i knew as well as I know Satsuki, so i would really like it if you would let me rp as her, but if you would prefer me to pic a character that you would know then let me know.

History: Satsuki is an only child, she doesn't really talk to her parents much, but when she does before she can say what she thinks, they already know and just ignore her. She had 1 close friend that she knew in childhood, but due to her friend moving away she doesn't remember who she/he was.

Personality wise: She is very friendly, but is shy when it comes to talking in large groups of people and she is a bit of a loner.

Posting Writing Sample:

A young girl began crying and running around the room looking for something, when she ran into Satsuki. Glancing down and seeing the mounts of tears pouring from this poor girls eyes she just had to ask "Whats wrong little one?" The girl responded and explained that she had lost her teddy that she had brought with her and she desperately wanted to find it. Satsuki and this small child began looking for the girls teddy, they had found it under the table that was holding a large bowl of juice. The girl thanked her and took her teddy and found her way back to her mom.

She placed her headphones on her ears and turned up her music, then lened up against the wall and slid down and sat on the floor. Everyone in her home passed her and didn't pay any attention to her, an olderly woman's foot bumped into her and just continued walking as if nothing happened. Her parents party continued as she sat against the wall listening to music and watching everyone continue on with there conversation and they had completely forgot that she was even there.

Journal Writing Sample:

I was in the middle of doing up the dishes in the house when the phone began to ring continuously, so i grabbed the closest towel and began wiping off the water that was moving down my arm to my elbow, instead of letting who ever it was calling the house letting them send a message on the machine, cause i know that i hate having to leave messages unless i really have to. I walked over to the phone to discover that it was my sister wanting to talk to our mom who of course isn't home and won't be home for a long while, but like normal she just tells me that she'll call back later and then hangs up. I can never figure out if i did something to upset her or was it something that i said without realizing it, but i went back to the dishes and gave the message to my mom when she walked in the door.

Just so you know, the comm is not active right now, we are waiting for a quota of players to begin the storyline again, and to be honest i don't know how long it will take. So perhaps in the meantime you can apply the same character to St. Catherine's community while you wait for this one to open.

But, when this comm opens, you are cordially welcome Miss Tanaka to attend our school. I hope you find what you are looking for within this facility.

Hello Miss Tanaka, this is the Headmistress, and I have some news of relative importance to give to you. We have now filled the minimum requirements to begin our fall session and I would love to invite you to our school within the next few days time.

If this isn't already, please respond to this with a character journal to finalize your acceptance.

I would like to thank you headmaster for informing me of when the beginning of the semester would start and for your acknowledgment that my character journal that will be used is: satsukitanaka. Only because satsuki_yuuni is my usual personal journal so you can change the user id for the character list to the new one.
