APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN.

Applications will remain open indefinitely.

To apply, choose the applicable form below and fill it out. Please post it as a comment (or a string of comments) to this page, or you can link to your application. Feel free to check out the Application FAQ if you have any questions, or you can contact a mod at kismet_loop_mods or KLMods (at) yahoo (dot) com. Please also note that some applications may take longer to process than others; while we strive to go in the order they are received, certain canons may require additional research on the mods' behalves and thus may be delayed. If this is the case, we will leave a note saying so!

Canon, CRAU, and Obscure Canon Characters
<u>Player Information</u> <b>Name/Alias:</b> (Give us something to call you) <b>Your Journal:</b> <user name="YOUR JOURNAL"> (Do you have a personal journal account on DW? If not, put "N/A") <b>Age:</b> (If you don't want to give a specific age, please note whether or not you're over 16.) <b>Contact Information:</b> (Please give us a way to contact you!) <b>Characters already in the game:</b> (If you have or have had characters in the game already, please list them here and indicate if they are current or former characters. If you're new to KL, please put "N/A") <u>Character Information</u> <b>Character Journal:</b> <user name="YOUR CHARACTER'S JOURNAL HERE"> <b>Character Name:</b> (Full name please, first, middle, last, and any canon nicknames as applicable.) <b>Character Canon:</b> (Please be specific. Some canons have more than one continuity. For example, Transformers G1 Cartoon is different from Transformers IDW comics) <b>Age:</b> (If you don't know a specific age, then give us a general idea. Are they young for their kind, old, etc.) <b>Race:</b> (Are they Cybertronian? Human? Something else? Let us know) <b>Timeline Pull Point:</b> (Please give us as much context as possible, such as including a short summary in addition to the episode/issue number.) <b>Canon History:</b> (We will accept links to a wiki for Canon Characters. However, in lieu of a link (for characters with short wikis or without much canon information), we would like to see a summary of the character's past in your own words. Try to include as little headcanon as possible. In the case of OCCs, we will obviously need more than just a wiki link!) <b>CRAU History:</b> (If your character is coming to KL with previous game history (CRAU), then we need to know what their history has been since pulled from canon. If your character is straight from the regular canon, you can ignore this section.) <b>Personality:</b> (Please be clear, concise, and complete. We're looking for at least two or three paragraphs to show you know this character well.) <b>Powers/Abilities:</b> (What special abilities does you character have? Assume we know nothing about them or their species. Please include any skills or qualities of note, ex: "experienced sniper", "genius level intelligence", etc. Please note that overly powerful characters will have some of their power dampened. Please still list ALL powers and abilities, and if you have suggestions on limitations or how to dampen the character's power, please include that as well (they may not be necessary). We will inform you of any further changes needed to powers if it is deemed necessary.) <b>Inventory:</b> (What is your character coming in with. If these items do special things, be detailed in describing them! And be reasonable regarding size, Haven is massive, but it still has limits. Refer to the App FAQ for more details.) <b><u>Writing Samples</u></b> (These should be stand-alone samples. You may re-use samples from other applications you have written, but we will not be accepting links to previous threads/museboxes/dear-mun posts or other such things. The samples should be visible on your app.) <b>First Person Sample:</b> (A first person sample should show us how your character communicates, be that text, audio, or video. This could be their reaction to waking here, them calling for assistance, or some other such scenario. We're not looking to just see reactions, though, we want to know how they talk to others, so this sample should be one in which they're aware they're talking to others on a network, or at least trying to communicate with a certain person.) <b>Third Person Sample:</b> (This should be a few paragraphs of prose-style action. It should focus on your character, and should offer some insight into their thought patterns, the way they interact with the world, and overall should give us an idea of both them and your own writing style. We like to see creativity used here in preference to the rehashing of a canon scene. This is your opportunity to show us how your character thinks and acts within a scenario of your choice.) <b>Final Notes:</b> (Need to cover anything that hasn't already been covered? Use this spot. Or just ignore it if you've already gotten everything.)

Canon AU or Fandom OC
<u>Player Information</u> <b>Name/Alias:</b> (Give us something to call you) <b>Your Journal:</b> <user name="YOUR JOURNAL"> (Do you have a personal journal account on DW? If not, put "N/A") <b>Age:</b> (If you don't want to give a specific age, please note whether or not you're over 16.) <b>Contact Information:</b> (Please give us a way to contact you!) <b>Characters already in the game:</b> (If you have or have had characters in the game already, please list them here and indicate if they are current or former characters. If you're new to KL, please put "N/A") <u>Character Information</u> <b>Character Journal:</b> <user name="YOUR CHARACTER'S JOURNAL HERE"> <b>Character Name:</b> (Full name please, first, middle, last, and any canon nicknames as applicable.) <b>Character Canon:</b> (Please be specific. Some canons have more than one continuity. For example, Transformers G1 Cartoon is different from Transformers IDW comics. Also specify here that the character is a CAU or FOC.) <b>Age:</b> (If you don't know a specific age, then give us a general idea. Are they young for their kind, old, etc.) <b>Race:</b> (Are they Cybertronian? Human? Something else? Let us know) <b>Timeline Change Point:</b> (Please give us a much context as possible, such as including a short summary in addition to the episode/issue number.) <b>World:</b> (Be as detailed as possible. Tell us a bit about the original canon world and the world as it stands now, or where in time your character fits. Canon AU? What does the world look like now? What sorts of changes have occurred since that one big change in canon? Was your character's best friend murdered in episode 4 instead of becoming their biggest support and inspiration? Have they become the villain instead of the hero? What's their story now? Fandom OC? Where do they fit into canon? Remember, a Fandom OC is allowed only minimal contact/relations with canon characters, and should have little to no affect on the canon timeline. We would still like to know when/where they're from, canon-wise. Describe the world they're from, be it before, during, or after canon.) <b>History:</b> (Be as detailed as possible. Your character is either from a completely changed canon, or fits into an existing one in ways that leaves it unchanged. Tell us about their experiences, their impressions of canon events (unless they're from before canon), and what their plans for the future are. Make sure you're clear on their pull point - what is the last thing they remember before they ended up pulled into KL?) <b>Personality:</b> (Please be clear, concise, and complete. We're looking for at least two or three paragraphs to show you know this character well.) <b>Powers/Abilities:</b> (What special abilities does you character have? Assume we know nothing about them or their species. Please include any skills or qualities of note, ex: "experienced sniper", "genius level intelligence", etc. Please note that overly powerful characters will have some of their power dampened.

ACCEPTED

[kismet_loop_mods]

Thank you for applying to Kismet Loop. The mod staff is happy to let you know that your application has been accepted! Please be sure to do all of the following:

++ Add your character to the Taken Page.
++ Join the game comms: kismet_loop, kismet_loop_logs, kismet_loop_ooc
++ Be sure to friend the mod journal: kismet_loop_mods.
++ You might also wish to join the crack comm fates_lemonade and/or the adult comm tempting_fate.
++ Upon gaining friend-access to the mod journal, enter or update your information on the Player Contact Page even if you are already listed (have a character already in game).
++ If you have Plurk, be sure to friend or follow the mod account: KismetLoopMods
++ Make sure there’s a public version of your application in your journal. It doesn’t have to include the Player Information or Samples, but the rest of it should be there!
++ Also make sure there’s an HMD in your journal.
++ Introduce yourself in the OOC comm!

NOTE ON THE CANNON FORM: Yeah, mod consensus was that it's a one-time thing. If nothing else, the sheer massive /size/ of it, requiring all three combiner robots together to wield - is far too much for him to achieve on his own. The aliens had stated that they granted him his wish, to just once be able to be the one to save the day basically. (Besides, his tank form is awesome and doesn't get enough use, haha.)

Welcome to Kismet Loop!
