Application


♠ Application
Applications are CLOSED.


Mun
Name: Give us your name or online alias here
Journal: The info for your mun journal here; if you don’t have one, simply specify.
Contact Info: Give us your main contact info; the more ways to reach you, the better! Examples, AIM, Yahoo messenger, email, etc
Other Characters: Any other characters you play in this RP. If there are none, then put n/a.

Character Info
Name: Full name of desired character
Movie/series: Movie or series in which they appear (please see Approved Canons list for more information on what characters you can app)
Year/Position: Be specific; the school runs from kindergarten all the way through college
Non/Speaking Animal/Companion(if any): Examples: Abu, Carpet, Xerxes [Aladdin], Pegasus [Hercules], Pascal [Tangled]. Please note that if you’re a princess and the forest creatures come running at the sound of your voice, they do not count; it must be a specific character!
Powers: A description of your character's supernatural or unusual powers, if applicable.
Canon history: A brief history of the canon history of your character. You may link to an existing wiki/info page on the web.
AU history: Please give us a history which fits into the context and world of this game. If you need any help with this, please contact your canonmates and/or the mods! Returning characters, please add on a few sentences to your previous AU to update it.
Personality: The characterization of whom you are apping. Please use examples from canon as evidence; AU examples will not count! The core personality of your character should not be changed by the AU, thus we require canon proof of your commentary. This is an important section, so please be sure to fill this out thoroughly. A few detailed paragraphs at the least are suitable, since we expect that you've done your homework on your character.
Greatest Fear: This is meant to be an in-depth study of your character's greatest fear. This cannot be generic or silly, but something very specific to your character's experiences and life. Use characterization to your benefit here.
Has your character been at the Academy before/does your character remembering being at the Academy before?: Are you picking up a character? If so, are you bringing them in new or continuing from where the last mun left off?
What are you plans with this character?:This is a very player-plot based game with in-depth characters. While not every event or post has to have serious and create intense CR, the relationships and bonds you gain with others do play a key factor in the direction of your character. This doesn't have to be long or even seriously in-depth, but we want to see that you put some thought in your choice of who to app.

Previous players with returning characters from [livejournal.com profile] disney_academy only:
How has the Black Mist affected your character’s memory at all?
: Basically, this is an opportunity to take your character and freshen them up for this sequel. For instance, if you want to take them from an earlier canon point or have events from the last game wiped from their memory, simply explain here. We don't want anyone to have to carry over null and void player plots.
Are there any noteworthy events that happened to your character in the previous game?: Examples: Rescues/fail rescues, kidnappings, intense player plots. Basically anything that has had an immense impact on your character and may alter their behavior that you plan on continuing in this new game.

Writing
Third person writing sample: A sample of your writing style, in third person. This is in the format of a log post, in other words, prose. This should be handled as if your character is in the game and should be at least 300 words long. Please make sure to check this section for the right amount of words; you may use this word counter if your writing program does not have one. Use this as an opportunity to show off your character's inner thought process, actions and the reasoning behind them, behaviors, mannerisms, etc; keep it dialogue light, please. Please do not extensively write for Academy NPCs, and please don't write for others' characters; mentioning them as part of the thought process is okay, but don't write their words, thoughts, or actions (that's God Modding before you even get in the game)! Hint: Past appers have found this section easiest to write by describing the events/journey's leading up to their character’s arrival.
First person writing sample: This should be handled as if you were writing an entry into [community profile] waltdisneyacademy. That means action style with formatted brackets. This should be about a paragraph long, at least around 9 sentences, once again, written as if you were in game already. These sentences must be comprised of dialogue and/or your character's internal thought process. You are more then welcome to use as much description as needed; however, it will not count towards your 9 sentences. This will show us that you can capture the characters voice and how they actually speak. Please do not extensively write for Academy NPCs, and please don't write for others' characters; mentioning them as part of the thought process is okay, but don't write their words, thoughts, or actions (that's God Modding before you even get in the game)! Hint: Past appers have found this section easiest to write by acting as if it is their character’s introductory post.

STOP!
Before you apply! REMEMBER:
✒ Check and double check for proper grammar, syntax, and errors such as typos; sloppy writing will hurt your app!
✒ Check your castmate(s) apps (if there are any) and/or any past apps for your character to make sure the information is consistent!
✒ Reread everything to make sure you app has been filled out correctly!
✒ If your character comes from a part of the world currently covered in Mist, please explain in your AU how/when they evacuated! Those stuck in the Mist cannot come to the Academy! Current Mist Maps can be found here.
✒ Make sure your character isn’t taken or reserved already!
✒ If apping a Kingdom Hearts, Avatar, or Marvel character, please check the FAQ for information on their special AUs!
✒ Do not plagiarize! If you absolutely must use a quote or a statement from elsewhere, use quotations and cite a source! If you do not, depending on how minor or severe the plagiarism is, we will either ask for a revision (and give you a warning for future posts, threads, and/or apps) or deny the app completely. We will be checking all applications for this.
✒ If you have any questions at all, please contact a mod immediately for clarification!

THANK YOU FOR APPING AT WALT DISNEY ACADEMY. BEST OF LUCK!

The morning started like every other morning. A little more quiet, though. With a little less life glowing through her window. The sunrise was nonexistant among the lingering darkness. However, this didn't stop her. She rolled out of bed and met the floor with the balls of her feet, and she ran her fingers through her hair. Moments later, the shower knobs turned, and the hot water had washed whatever groggy feelings she had down the drain. Out of the shower, she pulled on her usual breeches, and tanktop. The chilly feeling under her skin asked her to put on her turtleneck, but she knew that it wouldn't stop the cold feeling. She shuffled around in the vanity, and pulled out a worn brush, brushing it through her freshly washed hair. She finished brushing, and peered behind the curtain with a single finger.

The Black Mist had receded the past few days, however, the darkness still lingered about. That doomed feeling had still thickly coated the air. She waited. Oh, how she waited, and oh how she hated waiting. She waited for a call, for an announcement, or a knock on her door. She waited to hear about who was taken this time, who she had to go after now. The Winchester laid behind her door, loaded and appropriately cleaned, waiting along with her. She closed the curtains to her window.

Summertime for the Academy was meant to be...well, students enjoying themselves away from their studies. Not hiding away in their dormitories. Not cowering away from the sun that was now obscured by the clouds of black. She checked her calender mounted on her wall with a black marker, and marked out yet another day, cooped up in this room. A look over to the wall and she saw her previous plastering of postcards and newspaper clippings, her only glance to the outside besides her window. In a bit of a fit, she peeled the collage off the side of the wall. The lieutenant wasn't about to let herself get sentimental. This was a prolonged time of crisis. She had to keep focused. She pulled open a dresser drawer, placing the folded up pasted together papers and photos into the drawer, and set the six shot on top of it to hide it's focus.

Maybe the comms were working. She opened the adjacent drawer to flick hers on. The small device lit up with life, and she scrolled up and down the contacts list.
