♢ POTENTIAL APP DISCUSSION
| 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. | |||

Character name: Gemaryah "Chika" Washington
Fandom: Original
City life: Most likely he would be into some hands on labor, ranging from either electrical work or plumbing.
Powers: Chika, being a werewolf, may not be able to change forms; however, he may instead have strength or increased healing in a lunar cycle.
Do you think they'll be active? Oh yes. He'll most likely attempt some emotional distance but...he also loves trolling. It's a bit of an outlet for him. Also, flirting. Flirting is mostly harmless fun.
Do you think they'll participate in plot? Oh yes. While there may not be a person to return to, if it's about discovering the truth, he'll be there. If it's trying to play along like a suck, he will try but he won't do it very well. Also food. He'll love it if there's food around.
Why this character interests you here: Chika has been a character of mine for a long time. That being said, I like to think of this being a way to unbalance and test how far he can go; a 'what if' situation. Part of his wolvieness lets him run off a lot of aggression and annoyance he has with the world.
In other words, trolling my own character. When don't I do that?
Potential concerns: He's an OC, and well...I've noticed that in other RP games, they're not always well received. I'm pretty nervous in having him in an actual game, for all he feels ready for it. Also don't want to accidently power mod somehow.
Also a million and a half other concerns but I think that's the nerves talking.

He sounds like he could fit in well, though! For powers, Chika wouldn't be a werewolf in-game. Like, at all. His powers could reflect his previous species, though, like wolf transformation or (as you said) the strength or healing.

I hope he'd fit in! From the what I read, it looks like this place is amazing. And actually, not being able to claim being a were in the Cave would be fun. Powers, I'm pretty flexible on. I'd rather have him low key then have him mega uber wolf demi god who can summon death himself for dinner.
