All apps will be screened. For neatness, please format your app's subject header as Character Name | Canon. If all apps are submitted before May 16th, early acceptances and room assignments will be sent out.

( out of character )
Name: What should we call you?
Contact: Having a plurk account is, unfortunately, nearly obligatory for this game. You must have the mod plurk (

yuggoth) friended to allow us to send you PP in regards to roles and murder plans!
Reserve: A link to your reservation, please.
I understand the activity requirement: By saying "yes" to this question you understand that this game requires a moderate level of activity. This means you must be reasonably present for weekly mingles and investigations, and be available to vote during trials. We reserve the right to kill your character off if we feel you are not sufficiently active throughout the weeks.

( in character )
Character Name: Self-explanatory.
Age: If their age is unknown, an approximation is fine.
Canon: Self-explanatory.
Canon Description: Wiki links are acceptable as long as they explain your canon. We suggest: canon, character, and any character wikis that are important to yours so we may tailor motives to specific people.

Personality: One to three paragraphs, tops. We are looking for what motivates them as characters, what makes them "them", key traits, and important moments that defined their personality. While writing this section, please consider what makes your character well-suited for a murder game. Are they selfish? Are they a survivor? Do they help others? Will they be able to handle high stress situations (or maybe not)? Do they sacrifice? Do they fight for their ambitions? If you've written a previous app for the character and it includes a personality section, feel free to dump it here.

Alignment: Describe your character's moral alignment. Do you believe they're capable of killing? Or do they consider murder an unforgivable sin? Likewise, are they a self-serving individual or do they place the needs of others before their own. If you're having trouble with this section, this site will help you.

Motivations/Rewards: For reasons related to IC and OOC mechanics, we would like you to list at least 5 motivations/rewards that could get your character to kill or cooperate with the IC factions. We will take your answer into consideration when assigning roles. If you're having trouble, an example would be Handsome Jack from Borderlands would be highly motivated to revive his daughter if promised it, or Chrom from Fire Emblem may kill to save his kingdom from invasion. They do not have to be drastic, but should suit your character's personality.

Are you willing to be part of a faction?: Being part of a faction basically means having two roles and needing to be doubly as active. You will be partnered with 3-4 other players and must work together to achieve goals hidden from the main group. Please be sure you can meet the increased activity requirements for a faction role, and be aware faction involvement increases your chances of being targeted.

Deathroll Volunteer: Would you like to volunteer for your character to die early on?
