OC FACULTY/TEACHER APPLICATION (OLD)
( oc faculty/teacher application )
PLAYER INFORMATION
PLAYER: (Your name/nickname)
AGE: (We require all players to be at least 14 years old.)
CONTACT: (AIM, MSN, Plurk, e-mail, etc.)
PERSONAL LJ: (Optional.)
CHARACTERS PLAYED: (All current active characters at Reims Academy.)
CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: (Character's name.)
AGE: (Staff characters need to be at a minimum legal adults, but we would prefer and encourage older characters for this to create the standard age gap found between students and faculty.)
GENDER: (This is both the mental and physical genders for the character. Should you wish to genderswap the character from canon, this is where you include that information.)
TENURE: (years employed at Reims Academy)
SUBJECT/POSITION: (Teachers must specify both subject and grade levels taught. Please have a back-up subject/position in mind as there are only so many slots for each subject/position. The Academy does not need seven Literature teachers and zero Science teachers, just as it does not need six janitors and zero nurses.)
RESIDENCE: (at the Academy or off-island)
APPEARANCE (Everyone is human, so this is especially important for canon non-human characters. We will accept an image link in place of a written description except in cases of canon non-human characters or characters that are significantly modified appearance-wise from canon, such as with a genderswap or aging. In those cases, we require a paragraph describing the character's appearance.)
PERSONALITY: (Don't skimp here! This is the most important part of the application as it tell us who the character is and will what the samples are judged with. This section should be three to four substantial paragraphs, but feel free to give us more!)
ABILITIES: (These can be general, but some specifics are preferred.)
WEAKNESSES: (These can be general, but some specifics are preferred.)
AU HISTORY: (Focus on the major events and try to keep it under 2000 words if possible.)
JUSTIFICATION: (Why should this character be part of the faculty instead of a student? Please put some serious thought into this question. We want our faculty characters to be prominent and very active, but also capable of carrying the IC authority they will be given. This isn't to say there won't be any faculty that the student body might wonder why they were hired, but there is a lot of player responsibility in a faculty character. This section should be at least two substantial paragraphs, but feel free to give us more!)
SAMPLES
(Samples are IC examples of characterization and writing skill used to help the mod team determine whether the player has a good grasp on the character and the setting. We require two separate samples - one intranet/1st person sample and one log/3rd person sample. Because we understand samples are difficult for some players to produce on the fly, we offer two options for each individual sample as well as a few prompts to help with them. All samples must be set in the Reims Academy setting. This is an AU setting, so samples of the established canon character tell us nothing about the AU character being apped.)
INTRANET/1ST PERSON SAMPLE: (This is a sample of how the character talks and interacts with others on the school's intranet. There are two options available for this sample.
- Provide a stand-alone sample of something the character would post on the Intranet that others would respond to. Please make this sample approximately 7-10 sentences long.
- 2. You may set up a thread with another character in ReimsApplicants or another musebox and link the completed sample in the application. Please note that a linked sample must still be representative of how they will communicate online. With this option, we require a minimum of 10 individual comments from the character being apped. As always, we reserve the right to ask for more if we feel there isn't enough characterization/interaction to properly judge the sample.
Here are some sample prompts if needed (but not required): Announcing to the students an upcoming major assignment, Intranet suggestion box, Reminding the student body of curfew, interdepartmental memos, etc.
Note: Please, please avoid the standard arrival sample. You know the one we mean. We've all seen it a thousand times and, really, the character is just in high school, not whisked off to Narnia, given a Pokeball and told to go capture Aslan. Give us something different and interesting in the Reims Academy setting.)
LOG/3RD PERSON SAMPLE: (This is a sample in 3rd person prose of how your character thinks, what drives the character and the reactions both external and internal to situations. Introspection is key here as there is usually a dichotomy between the inner and outer workings of a character. There are two options available for this sample.
- Provide a stand-alone sample of the character's situational thoughts and feelings. Please make this sample at least 200-300 words long.
- You may set up a 3rd person prose log with another character in ReimsApplicants or another musebox and link the completed sample in the application. With this option, we require a minimum of 5-7 individual comments, dependent upon length, from the character being apped. As always, we reserve the right to ask for more if we feel there isn't enough characterization/interaction to properly judge the sample.
Note: As with the Intranet sample, please avoid the standard arrival sample. You know the one we mean. We've all seen it a thousand times and, really, the character is just in high school, not whisked off to Narnia, given a Pokeball and told to go capture Aslan. Give us something different and interesting in the Reims Academy setting.)
HAVE YOU READ THE FAQ? (A simple Yes will not suffice here. Please answer the following question to show us you have, in fact, read the FAQ: Should you make the mistake of OOCly tagging an intranet post as '90% Unhackable', what will the mods unleash?)
RESTRICTION! As for right now, we are only allowing one faculty character per player and upper-level administration are moderator controlled NPCs.
THIS APPLICATION IS NO LONGER IN USE. SEE THE REVISED APPLICATION.
