♢ POTENTIAL APP DISCUSSION


POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
How to

While the worldbuilding post is an excellent place to try and figure out City history CR, this page is more to help you to decide who you should apply for in the first place. Give us a good idea of what kind of character you're thinking of and let others comment in on how they might see it working!

Think of it as a thought experiment for yourself and other players. As a reminder, this is completely optional. You are totally free to reserve or apply someone without commenting to this post first.

♢ Reception to your idea will have no effect on how the mods process your app. This is only a tool to help you decide who to put the effort into.
♢ Don't spam or flame any potential character comments. While just going "OMG YES!!" can be encouraging, it doesn't really give anyone a whole lot to work with, and neither does shooting someone down. Be constructive.
♢ Give your honest opinion. If you think a character really wouldn't fit in the setting, express your concerns. Maybe the potential applicant didn't think of it from a certain point of view. Paired with the above, please don't just go "I don't think this will work". Provide some reasoning!
♢ Don't take anything personal. Anyone who comments back to you on this post is only trying to help — even if it isn't outright encouragement.

I thought the name was supposed to reference hers though? Or I could just get a T and a P in there and call it quits. xp AND AHH I need to not go things tired, I totally forgot the mind melding. :V That's perfect, thank you. c:

...and lmao, that could be amazing. T'Pol as a gossip reporter. 'we need you to go interview so and so about this or that scandal.' 'no. >|'

Haha, nope! The name is not supposed to reference her. For example, my two characters' names right now are Liam McNally / "Owen Bates" and Sefton Lowell / "Jeremy Daveen". They kind of match their ethnicity and similar backgrounds, but that's about it.

Hahaha, yes, something like that! If you can spin it a way that makes sense for a T'Pol-like person going into that sort of profession.

Hmmm, so the City self still directly resembles their real personality, there's no 'this person you're telling me to be is completely and totally different from what I remember?'

Unfortunately not, no. They can have differences, but the idea is that there is a distinct similarity between a character and who the Workers say they used to be in the City.
