General Application guidelines:

As a tribute to Monty Oum, we're going to follow his naming conventions. Click the link here for the rules. For those of you who think that is limiting, here's a fan google doc with almost 2000 names on it that doesn't even scratch the surface of what is allowed. Only the first or the last name need to follow this rule, not both.

Image size on application 200x350. Profile overlay in profile is 180x380. Avatar is roughly 100x100.

Once your application is completed, be sure to post it up on the submissions thread to get reviewed! The most common reasons for kicking a profile back for edits are the following:

1) Please do not include a traumatic life event only to never engage with it. Consider whether that traumatic life event is actually a part of your character that you will interact with, and if not then don't do it. In the application those traumatic life events cannot be glossed over in a sentence, because pointlessly over the top trauma in the profile when the character is going to be a happy go lucky type does nothing except for make others uncomfortable. Family members don't need to die, you can just not talk to them. Friends don't need to die, they can just move away. If you don't want to ever include any family connections, you can do that without murdering everyone your character ever interacted with.

2) Having obscene amounts of money and the ability to spend it on a whim. You cannot be the CEO of Schnee Dust Company, you're a student in a Huntsman Academy. Parents/family being rich is fine, but your character is not in control of that money and cannot freely access it. You're a criminal and terrorist in the eyes of the Mistralian government, you'd be arrested on sight at any bank and shot if you didn't comply.

3) Please read the Recent Events thread. If you contradict it, your application will be kicked back.

4) Do not put any anticipated future upgrades for abilities or semblances in your application. Future effects get approved when the upgrade is done, not at character creation. Your ability descriptions are what they can do at the time your character is apped, nothing more and nothing less.

5) Extremely weird/complicated semblance that the author has trouble fitting into words that others can understand. Going beyond the 'you must be able to describe your semblance in 1 sentence' rule and moving past the clarity issue to a related one, semblances that do not fit neatly into the system will generally need some tweaking to adjust wording. The general philosophy is to try to incorporate these weird things as much as possible with the understanding that if it becomes an issue down the line that it will be adjusted accordingly.

6) For ranges of abilities, not including the flavor and the approximate range. For example, for E rank the range would be "about the length of a telephone pole (10-12m)." Inserting things like radius in order to try and get double range and other such obfuscations are not allowed.

7) Touch gated semblances that attempt to cheat and use methods other than touching with your physical body for activation will be denied with no exceptions.

8) Application cannot be sent through discord message or private message on site. It needs to be posted as a thread within the character creation board with no exceptions.

9) Applying for a Kerch Kozak position as a fresh application without an accepted canon role request or permission from Wolfe, the current faction lead. Each major faction has one 'special' role earned through IC play or a canon role request or specific exemption, and Kerch Kozak is it for the Revolutionary League.

Edit 3/11/19: Please do not edit your application in preview mode. At the bottom of the text box is 'BBCode' and 'Preview'. Preview will mess with the code really hard by inserting junk code every time you make any edits which means your profile will have to be completely redone on upgrade if there's a lot of it -- one case had over 60 instances of redundant code added in by preview. Please edit your profile on BBCode if you edit on ProBoards itself, thanks.

Below is the Revolutionary League (General) member group application and guidelines. This encapsulates everyone except the Kerch Kozaks and potential future groups that warrant their own member group. This brings more flexibility due to the lack of IC restrictions on your behavior, but also less resources and support than you might otherwise have.

Remember that your character starts with the following for the Revolutionary League (General) subgroup:

• 1275 experience to be spread among abilities, though no skill can be above D rank with starter experience. Only characters with XP transferred from other characters can start with C rank or above skills at applicant phase. F rank combat ability is 75XP, E rank combat is 275XP.
• An additional 300 XP if this is your first character.

Suggestion (Remove when finished with application): Non-Combat abilities are abilities that cannot be used in combat that flesh out your character. Tailoring, carpentry, metalworking, dancing, painting, cooking, etc. They cost half as much as combat abilities, so an F rank non-combat is 38XP and an E rank is 138XP.

[div][attr=class,title]Combat Abilities[/div]
Suggestion (Remove when finished with application): F rank combat abilities are 75 each, and E rank combat abilities are 275 each. If you want to be a jack of all trades type of character at the beginning, take a lot of F ranked abilities. If you want to be really good in a few areas but weak in others to start, take one or two E rank combat abilities. To be a skilled and tanky melee fighter, for example, you can take E rank durability and martial arts to raise your damage resistance and melee accuracy. If you want to play a nimble archer you can take speed and marksmanship if you favor positioning or agility and marksmanship if you favor dodging, and if you want to play a glass cannon type melee character you can boost your weapon to E rank and take martial arts to increase your damage and melee accuracy. Each combat skill must provide one mechanical benefit, with no exceptions.

[div][attr=class,main-title-left rl]Character Information[/div]

[div][attr=class,title]Vitals[/div]
[b]Primary Drive:[/b] This is generally going to be related to the goals/plot of the group your character is joining. What are their plot related goals? How are they working to accomplish that? How do they make decisions? What do they think they're doing and how do they justify doing it?

[b]Fears:[/b] One deep fear like abandonment, loss of family, losing morality, etc. Several smaller fears like spiders, someone licking them, mold in food, just small things that bother them.

[b]Style of Self-Expression:[/b] How do they talk to others? Are they shy or outgoing? Internally, are they confident or anxious and how do they express those feelings externally? Do they care about words more or actions when it comes to the people around them? Does their socioeconomic background affect the way they present themselves socially?

[b]Most Important Thing:[/b] Every person has an exception to their in theory infallible ideals, what is yours? What is something that influences your character regardless of their moral code? What would they reject sacrificing even when driven to the brink, choosing to cut off their own finger rather than sacrifice? What would they kill for, if pushed? A character can believe firmly in every person being equal, but still show preference for a certain person when things come down to the wire. A character can believe in fairness in the moment but still act on a grudge at a critical moment. A character can be cool and collected, but if someone tries to spread misinformation about one specific thing they will lose their mind and fight against it no matter where they are or who they're in front of. (Application note: Please do not keep the example text with paragraphs in these sections. Delete them and insert your answers.)


[div][attr=class,title]History Freeform[/div]
Suggestion (Delete when finished with application): Don't focus on actions. Focus on relationships and emotional bonds between your character and others. If you are a character with starter level experience, you cannot have killed armies or won major battles -- your character is frankly entirely too weak to do that. For the Revolutionary League, indicate what splinter group you were originally part of and how you joined together with the League. You are encouraged to make up your own outlaw or refugee groups or bandit tribes if you wish.
