the_measurers | Application

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.)

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.

Character:

Character's Name: Nathaniel Howe
Character's Fandom: Dragon Age: Origins
Character's Home Universe:http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_Wiki
Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: A few months after the end of Awakening. The Mother’s dead and Vigil’s Keep and Amaranthine are in the process of being rebuilt.
Method of Arrival on Station: Via pod

Physical Appearance: Nathaniel is approximately 6’0 tall, with steel-grey eyes and shoulder-length black hair, tied back from his face in two separate braids. He has a naturally fair complexion that’s tanned from being outdoors so much. He’s lean and muscular, but not bulky. Nathaniel’s facial features are harsh and angular; he has a tendency to frown or scowl, his brow furrowing when he’s irritated or angry. His smiles are rare, but they do wonders to make him look younger and less care-worn.
Nathaniel arrives in his usual battle attire of light leathers—breastplate, kirtle, greaves and gloves. He also has his longbow and a dagger hidden in one of his boots.

Personality: (An in-depth analysis of Nathaniel’s appearance and personality that I’ve written up previously can be found here.)

Nathaniel is a fairly serious person. Most people would say that he has a tendency to brood, though he’ll deny it if anyone actually points that out to him. He’s cautious and thoughtful; whenever possible he tries to assess and think out the situation at hand before acting. He’s very altruistic—he’ll most definitely put the needs of others before his own needs, and he’s dedicated to helping others that can’t help themselves. He’s a bit of an idealist; he has a strong sense of right and wrong, and steadfastly believes in chivalry.

Nathaniel is a Grey Warden, appointed to the task of fighting darkspawn (hideous creatures that live in the bowels of the earth) and defending the land during Blights. He takes his duties as a Grey Warden very seriously, and has devoted himself to the Order.

His family was once very powerful in Ferelden, but due to his father’s heinous actions during the most recent Blight, his family name has been blackened. A few of Rendon Howe’s actions during the Blight included: selling elves into slavery, kidnapping and torturing other nobles, and hiring an assassin to murder the last two surviving Grey Wardens. Nathaniel describes the Howes as being pariahs now due to his father’s actions. Nathaniel is fighting hard to restore his family’s past honor and glory, and to convince people that he is not his father.

Abilities and Skills: Nathaniel has been trained as a rogue. He is skilled in stealth, poison making, traps, scouting, and hunting. His weapon specialty is bows (both long and short, though he favors the longbow), and he is proficient in dual-wielding daggers. He doesn’t have any sort of powers or superhuman abilities, relying instead on his strength and cunning.

Sample: Nathaniel stared skeptically at the…‘food’…sitting on his plate. It looked more akin to something used to build houses than something that was edible. He poked at it cautiously and watched as it crumbled into a strange sort of sawdust. He took a tentative bite and wrinkled his nose. He’d thought the food was bad when he was roughing it in the Free Marches, but at least those meals had had some flavor.

As he continued chewing, he conceded that the reason for his lack of appetite had less to do with the actual food and more to do with the cook. Swimming in a giant box made of glass, she (Nathaniel had been assured that she was female) was like nothing he’d ever seen before. She sort of resembled the jellyfish that occasionally washed up on shore in Amaranthine, but she was much, much larger. And those arms, tentacles, whatever, were daunting. He had no doubt that the creature could crush him with barely an effort if she was so inclined.

Acclimatizing. That’s what they’d called it. And Nathaniel was having great difficulty. He could accept the various machines and other technology, treating it all as if it was just another form of magic. But the inhabitants of this place were another thing. They wore strange garb, and had funny hairstyles, and not all of them looked exactly human; he’d actually seen someone with horns this morning, for Andraste’s sake. What was even stranger was that no one had been trying to kill the creature, some in fact greeted him with friendly words. It was all too much to take in at once. Thank the Maker that there were at least a couple of familiar faces. Hawke had been extremely patient with him, offering to help him as much as he needed. He suspected that he would be needing quite a lot of help in the coming days or months.

He let out a small sigh as he glanced at the person sitting next to him—at least he thought it was a person, hard to tell with that blue hair and twisted nose. “Excuse me…could you pass the salt, please?”

I put down the wrong Canon Point. It should be:

Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: Approximately three years after the events of Awakening. Amaranthine is still being built and the Keep is back to full-function. Nathaniel has recently arrived in Kirkwall during Act 2 of Dragon Age 2 (I hope that's not too confusing, Nathaniel only had a cameo in DA2 so I don't really consider him as being from that game.)
