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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small} 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small} 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! |

Rapunzel is undoubtedly an extremely sweet, thoughtful young lady. She’s a dreamer and a hopeless romantic at heart, and all she really wants in life so far is to have her one wish to leave the tower (even for just a little while) be granted. She’s also loyal and loving to a fault, as all her life she’s obeyed her mother without complaint, in spite of her own desires. She believes wholeheartedly that her mother is simply being a good mother and is looking out for her well-being. Because of this, she decides that any adventure outside of the tower is better off happening without her mother’s knowledge. Still, it fills her with deep regret to think she’s done something that could break her heart so extensively; she prefers to keep her promises and never ever break them. All forms of love are a big deal to her, as she received it from her mother in such abundance; the very idea of it not being real is foreign and strange to her, and her heart would all but shatter to learn otherwise.
Being trapped in the top of a tower for a solid 18 years does things to a girl. For example, she must find lots of hobbies to busy herself with: cooking, baking, chores, reading, various forms of art, dancing, etc. As such, she’s come out extremely quirky, filled with creativity and imagination, playfulness, idealism… and some minor delusional paranoia about what the outside world is like (which is all thanks to her loving mother). All her life she was led to believe that the world was terrifying and filled with horrible people and things, so she is extremely jumpy upon first setting foot outside the tower, prone to bashing anything that moved over the head with a frying pan. However, she’ll adjust fairly quickly after learning the truth and become ready to all but embrace the world and all its beauty. She is easily carried away by her own enthusiasm and her love for life, so when she’s thrilled about something, it shows, even if she tries to hide it.
Over the years she’s become a true artist: every inch of space on the walls inside her tower is covered with paintings of anything Rapunzel could manage. From star charts to portraits to a grand depiction of the floating lights she so longs to see, she’s created an extremely impressive gallery for herself. This of course leads her to be drawn to anything that’s aesthetically pleasing, and inspiration for a sketch or two could hit her at any given moment. It also makes her a huge dork; she loves every kind of art and books of every genre… any activity that passes the time is a great activity to her. She can hardly even imagine the possibilities that would be open if she was able to go outdoors, which makes the world all the more exciting to her.
Although she’s never been out in the world before and is therefore extremely naïve and somewhat gullible, that doesn’t mean Rapunzel’s stupid. Far from it: in spite of her limited education Rapunzel is very smart. She’s a fast learner, and she’s fully capable of recognizing danger and acting accordingly. Being shut in for so long has made her yearn and crave for all the knowledge she’s missed out on, and once she’s set free she’s bound to be like a sponge. She finds means of defending herself quickly enough and continues to learn and grow from all her new experiences. Any kind of change, while terrifying, is something that Rapunzel would welcome. It may take a few reflexive frying pans to the head, but she’s been “stuck in the same place” for so long that deep in her soul she longs for anything that would break the cycle. Though she’s naturally very friendly and sweet, meeting new people is still a strange and extremely awkward situation for her, bound to be coupled with lots of fidgeting, suspicion, and anxious laughter. After all, she only had a chameleon and a mother to talk to for 18 years. However, she warms up to people quite quickly once she sees that they don’t have pointy teeth or aren’t after her hair (and once she’s been separated from her frying pan). That said, she doesn’t take all that kindly to being mocked or taken advantage of: she can and will lash out in whatever way she can.
