Application
Babylon Wood is CLOSED.
Process and Guidelines
- Please thoroughly review all rules, FAQs and guidelines before submitting an application. Be sure to check the cast list before posting an application here.
- Check the reserves page before apping - you don't have to reserve a character before posting an application, but it's encouraged. Challenge apps are not allowed.
- Please limit yourself to only one accepted app per round. You’re allowed up to 5 characters in-game; HOWEVER, if your other characters are not reasonably meeting activity requirements, you’ll be asked to prove you’re active with them before your app will be considered.
- Please approach the application as though the mods have no knowledge of the canon, even if the canon is hugely popular.
- When submitting an app, whether by linking to your journal or posting in the comments, please post your character’s full name and fandom in the subject line.
- We allow recycled apps. Samples don't have to be fresh or even related to the game. Linked entries from dear_mun or previous games are acceptable. We just ask that if you take your sample from a log tag of appropriate length that you link to the original thread for context, and that the samples be less than six months old.
- If your application is rejected, any attempt at resubmission will have to wait until the next app period for consideration.
- If you're asked to provide revisions, you will have one week to do so before your application is rejected. At that point you will have to wait one month to reapply for that character.

The Character
Character Name:
Character Journal:
Canon:
Age:
From When?: [Canon point. Keep in mind that, given the nature of the game, characters should come from RIGHT BEFORE a major event in their life - remember the point of the Wood is that they’re trying to change a character’s future.]
Abilities/Powers: [A FULL listing of your character’s abilities, both mundane and magical/psychic/whatever - be as detailed as possible.]
Power Limitations: [How you plan to limit your character’s abilities while they’re in the Wood - you don’t have to take everything away (or anything, if the powers aren’t particularly overpowered or destructive), but the Wood won’t let you, say, bend her reality or take huge chunks out of her with the sound of your voice.
Likewise, if you need your character to be slightly sized up or down for ease or practicality. This is only applicable to the very large or very small - for example, elephant-sized for something giant like a dragon, or child-sized for something small like a mouse. It's not necessary, but an open option.]
Inventory [Please list everything that your character will have on them on their arrival- whatever was on their person at the exact moment they were taken should be the only things listed here. This includes the clothes on their backs and any weapons/supplies. There is no limit on the amount of items that can be included in a character's inventory. Some video game characters have hammerspace talents, and others are just obscenely prepared.]
Personality: [Please be as detailed as possible. A minimum of five hundred words. Also, please emphasize any fears, insecurities, inner demons, etc. This will help the mods in events that deal with screwing with the cast’s mind.]
History: [Write the history as if explaining it to someone completely unfamiliar with the canon. Define terms, explain important background information, et cetera. Original characters will most definitely need to go into further detail as they'll be held to a higher standard than canon characters.]
First Person Sample: [5-10 Sentences]
Prose Sample: [3-5 paragraphs, 3rd Person POV]
Special Notes: [Please use this section in particular to include information about the world of an OC.]
