Please note that the characters used for examples are not characters currently in play or currently applied. They were just selected to give examples of how we go through our process.

Things to note:

1. Homer #1 is without a vote and Jade skipped straight to Spock because she doesn't know Simpsons canon, but she does know Star Trek. She's hoping that

I'll have to congratulate them on a clever use of humor, definitely.

As is, it covers everything I'd accept from an app for a character like this, some peak into the thought, a good personality section, so ,approve it is.

APPROVED 2 + STAMPED

Admittedly, I'm not really familiar with the canon, but I think that their personality and history sections are really thought out and give me a really good idea of who this guy is. Going off that, the RP sample and the log sample read really consistently with those described sections.

Star Trek - Spock

Spock is not in Pon farr all the time. Applying with horny!Spock as the journal and RP samples is...offputting at best.

Peer Review Comment

From spockrocksmysocks

[character whose app you're reviewing]: Spock
[applicant name]: rub_my_ears
[your proposed verdict]: Accept
[app PROs]: They have his description down pat and the personality section is very accurate. They also write very well and I've seen them play in another game and they're awesome!
[app CONs]: They did pick a time from canon that only happens every seven years, so I think they need to show that they can play him during the rest of the time when he isn't in heat.

OC - Vanilla Ice

I'm not really comfortable with their apping a "real person" even if they are attributing super special Iceman-style powers to them.

Perhaps if they'd like to change the character's name, that would be a big help.

REQUEST

[pirate_mod]

Maybe we could refer the applicant to the rule against applying for real people. I think even if they were apping Donny from the New Kids on the Block cartoon it still would require discussion. If only the name Vanilla Ice is being used then I think they should clarify that in the application or change the name entirely.

REQUEST 2 + STAMPED

[burnsaway]

I agree. If they want to use this name, then they'll need to explain what's going on with that before it gets stamped either way.

The Fairly Oddparents - Cosmo

Sample Request 1

[innate]

I'm not seeing it. The personality section is pretty thorough but I'm really not seeing them actually execute it in the third person sample. It feels like that sample could be anyone else if you just put in a different name.

I wouldn't say it's OOC, though, just...lacking. So I want more.

Accept 1

[pirate_mod]

I see what Jesse means, but being familiar with the series myself I'm not sure if we can expect more from a show like The Fairly Odd Parents. It has always been a comedy without the depth you would get from Law&Order. Most introspection would be a matter of player interpretation rather than canon.

Reject 1

[crone_mod]

I think if they've fallen this flat in their interpretation of Cosmo, I can't really okay it. They've also gotten canon information wrong: the type of creatures that try to usurp the fairies and turn them into something more like accountants, (they're pixies, not trolls, a fairly significant difference) and it's Cosmo's mother who wants to split Cosmo and Wanda up, not Wanda's mother.

With those issues, I vote to reject.

The Fairly Oddparents - Wanda

[crone_mod]

Accept 1

[crone_mod]

This is pretty much Wanda dead on. I can see from the personality section that they know the character well. The journal and RP samples give me a good idea of what makes her tick. I can give this a pass.

Accept 2 - STAMPED

[innate]

I've never watched this series but my friend told me about how she's supposed to act. She's also popular enough so that Wiki had loads of info on her, and this all looks like it matches up nicely.
