History sections are always the bane of an application! We understand. With this in mind, we request only that players give us a snapshot of the life the character had before their arrival at the Fountains. This snapshot should include 4 critical moments from their lives and reach a cumulative of at least 400 words.
Additionally, we ask that if the character is from a previous game that an additional critical moment gives an overview of the experiences they had in the prior setting.
PERSONALITY
We understand some players have different levels of comfort when it comes to personality sections. To accommodate fluctuation in writing styles, we are offering two options for our personality section. Option A is the standard personality write up where the player writes a minimum of 400 words related to the specific character's personality. If selecting Option A, please consider including strengths, weaknesses, fears, ambitions or any general first impressions that would depict a full picture of the character being applied for.
Option B is where a player can select 4 questions from the supplied list to expand upon as driving questions that are intended to give a reader a better understanding of the character as a whole. The sum of the answers to the 4 questions must equal a minimum of 400 words. As an incentive to choose Option B, players will be allowed to list 3 different small / low level items that they may wish to have as a plot reward. The Mod will respond to the application with which reward has been approved for using the alternative application style.
