Entanglement has switched over to a dressing room format for now, so applications aren't needed for the time being.

FANDOM CHARACTER APPLICATION:

Mun: Your Name: Your Journal: (optional) Your Email: Your AIM: (optional) Character: Character's Name: Character's Fandom: Character's Home Universe:(Please either describe a bit of your character's universe or link to a wiki that does so) Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: (If your character's spent a signifigant amount of time in the game universe, please include it here, including whether they've been on Senburu-Trati'salan a while) Method of Arrival on Station: (see the FAQ for a list of options) Physical Appearance: (You may link to a picture if you like. If they'll be gaining new clothes upon arrival, describe them here) Personality: (at least two paragraphs) Abilities and Skills: (Both human and superhuman. Optional section.) Sample: (At least three good sized paragraphs. Please set this within the game's multiverse. You may use NPCs or characters already in the game as foils for your character in this sample if you wish. Format is prose, either third or first person. You may also use a musebox post or one in <lj site="livejournal.com" user="testrunbox"> as your sample. This post may be slightly shorter than a sample written here, as long as your total length of writing (initial post+your tags) fits the length guidelines.)

ORIGINAL CHARACTER APPLICATION:

Mun: Your Name: Your Journal: (optional) Your Email: Your AIM: (optional) Character: Character's Name: Character's Fandom: (if an original universe based OC, put 'OC' here) Character's Home Universe:(Please describe it. What's it like? Magic? Technology? What is their home culture like?) Method of Arrival on Station: (see the FAQ for a list of options) Physical Appearance: (You may link to a picture if you like. If they'll be gaining new clothes upon arrival, describe them here) Character History: (Their life up to arrival on Senburu-Trati'salan. You don't need to tell us every detail but enough that we get an idea of what shaped them into who they are today.) Personality: (at least two paragraphs) Abilities and Skills: (Both human and superhuman. Optional section.) Sample: (At least three good sized paragraphs. Please set this within the game's multiverse. You may use NPCs or characters already in the game as foils for your character in this sample if you wish. Format is prose, either third or first person. You may also use a musebox post or one in <lj site="livejournal.com" user="testrunbox"> as your sample. This post may be slightly shorter than a sample written here, as long as your total length of writing (initial post+your tags) fits the length guidelines.)

Whichever application you're posting, please put the character's name, if they're an OC, and their fandom (if any) in the subject line.

Note again that you are allowed to use musebox posts and posts on testrun_box for your sample. In that case, your total amount of tags written will be added up, so the initial post can be shorter than normal for a sample. You're still required to use a prose format and set the sample in the game universe though.

His Assassin Skillset is very much the "medieval assassin":
He is deadly accurate in close quarters combat with knives, daggers and swords. He can wield two swords at once (very useful against dragons) but prefers daggers and knives as they are easier to carry and strap to the body. When throwing knives, he can hit someone in the eye without having to think about his aim (provided they are in throwing range). He prefers striking from behind or the side and exploiting weaknesses with his cuts, blades laced with poison are always and option he will take if possible.
Zevran's favored method of assassination is to seduce the target, sex them up and then kill them while they lay in post-coital sleepy bliss. A single, quick, silent cut and then he's out the window or door or whatever as silent as a ghost. He is fully willing to invest months of infiltration and seduction into a mark to achieve this end.
With the trap-making, it is all very much the old fashioned traps like bear-jaws and rope triggers and exploding barrels of oil. But as he comes from a world with magic, he does know how to employ more mystical substances in the creation of traps: ice runes or life stones to freeze or drain a target of strength and stamina, etc. This is only employed if he can get his hands on the right kind of materials to make them and he has the time to create and set them up.
For poison crafting; he is skilled at extracting venom or mixing otherwise non-poisonous substances with each other so they become quite deadly. He does not like using them to poison a drink or food as a manner of killing a target (but he will not object if someone else uses them that way). He, instead, prefers to coat his blades in the debilitating poisons so they weaken his opponents in a fight rather than outright killing them. It's far more sporting.
Stealth wise, he is well learned in walking silently and does it without thinking. He tends to find the shadows easily and is able to bend his body to squeeze into smaller spaces than most would credit him able to enter. (wink wink, nudge nudge) He can hold still, hiding for hours if he has to, waiting for the right moment to come: be it a door opening or guard walking past.
His silver tongue falls into the category of this skill set because he uses it to seduce, confuse, convince and otherwise talk his way around any situation he can. He doesn't usually go looking for fights while performing his job - he is simply well trained enough to recognize when he can or cannot mouth his way out of one.
