You can app in at any time, right?

Yup
Love Snake Kaja

We'll only move to app cycles if we decide later it's the best way to handle applications though.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T17:51:53.000Z
Basically we're gonna see how always-open apps work out.
Love Snake Kaja

And any change will be announced well in advance.

I forgot to ask, but if you have writeups of your character's history and CRAU history on the journal, can you link that for the history section?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T22:36:28.000Z
Hmm, I'd say so.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T22:37:59.000Z
Nyanka You have my approval to do so. You also could copy and paste them into the app itself.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T22:38:14.000Z
Whichever would be easier for you.
It Nyanka

O Modly One: your acceptance copypasta currently says badgernet_occ. I assume that's supposed to be _ooc?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T23:36:22.000Z
Yes, I just posted a clarification to everyone who got accepted.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T23:38:27.000Z
I'm feeling mildly embarrassed at not catching this typo before someone alerted to me, but I've been doing a lot of work on this game in general, a slip up was bound to happen somewhere.

Yeah, you have an official demo out and an upcoming release.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T23:48:42.000Z
For the Isekai/Online game.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T23:49:12.000Z
I'd consider that to count.
TheHourMorgana
2020-10-11T23:57:46.000Z
For Helena she would be just MCU, no branch or time period?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T23:57:47.000Z
And someone's app for a minor side character from a video game made it clear that an official clarification on canonical characters with a low amount of canonical history was needed.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T23:58:12.000Z
So I've added one to the applications page in the section explaining how to fill out the history section (namely, just fill out everything you can and include a note that they don't have much canonical history).
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-11T23:59:48.000Z
TheHourMorgana In this case, since it's a broadly shared universe with character arcs spanning multiple movies and some shows, we'd say it falls under that general broad universe.
TheHourMorgana
2020-10-12T00:03:39.000Z
TY! I will be sure to mention her being from the 40s since OU Howard does charge actors depending on period (thankfully I have a movie and 2 show seasons to play with).

Is anyone welcome to apply for badgernet?

kajarainbow: could I apply for the game?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-12T23:30:48.000Z
Why're you asking that specific question?
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-12T23:42:16.000Z
I want to apply with my plurk identity as a Minccino. You said it's a multiverse game but I'm not sure if the universe my character resides in is part of that multiverse.
MundersOWundus
2020-10-12T23:42:50.000Z
sounds like he's a bot honestly, from a cursory glance at his plurk
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-12T23:49:53.000Z
therealbliss I’m not a bot. I just haven’t plurked in years.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-12T23:55:22.000Z
Okay, it looks like you don't know how this works. I can explain to you. You need a character with a backstory and personality that you can write about. Try reading the applications and you'll see the kinds of things we're looking for.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-12T23:55:57.000Z
Ok. I’ll see what I can do.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-12T23:56:48.000Z
Also I should link to the navigation post. one sec.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-12T23:57:10.000Z
Ok
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-12T23:57:22.000Z
It sounds like you're new to Dreamwidth roleplaying which has its own styles of how it does things.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-12T23:58:27.000Z
Yeah.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-12T23:58:41.000Z
badgernet | Navigation here is the navigation page. Be sure to read the rules and the FAQ, they're very important.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-12T23:58:59.000Z
Ok
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-12T23:59:54.000Z
Also here's a link to the test drive so you can see how people roleplay there. You can also use it to test your character.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:01:53.000Z
Oh, yeah, read the premise too, it'll tell you what the game's about.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:07:04.000Z
Thing is, how do I make a character like I saw in the test drive? Is it dependent on my journal name?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:09:06.000Z
Many of the people are playing canon characters, basically characters from popular media. There are also original characters, OCs for short. And other variants like alternative universe versions, but you probably shouldn't worry too much about that.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:09:36.000Z
You will want to make a journal for the character you are playing.
MundersOWundus
2020-10-13T00:10:59.000Z
Sorry about that, I just get a lot of bots and spammers and my old plurk was hacked. I get paranoid about it.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:11:05.000Z
Oh. That’s gonna be hard as I already have one from when I joined the DW beta.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:11:21.000Z
You can create a new journal, it's fine.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:11:40.000Z
Many people have multiple journals, one for each character.
zoki.
2020-10-13T00:11:49.000Z
reusing the same email address for multiple journals is fine too
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:12:17.000Z
Really? The system doesn’t care about that?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:12:24.000Z
It doesn't.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:17:00.000Z
Should I just put my character name down as my journal name?
NekoInc, MSPM
2020-10-13T00:17:51.000Z
Your choice there. A common thing is to make a joke about your character as their journal name
NekoInc, MSPM
2020-10-13T00:18:17.000Z
For example, Rita Mordio, a character I'm intending to play, has the username blastiaobsessieanonymous
NekoInc, MSPM
2020-10-13T00:18:30.000Z
Because, uh. She's got an obsession with her setting's technology.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:18:45.000Z
Yeah, for example, I have sugar_and_spice_witch as an username for a witch who literally is made out of sweets.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:20:00.000Z
You can also just use the character name if you aren't feeling particularly creative, it's just that many people like to have usernames that refer to some trait of their character or a joke about said character.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:20:55.000Z
A lot of this is because there are often multiple people playing the same canon character across different games in the DWRP (dreamwidth roleplaying) sphere, so they can't just all use the character name.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:21:46.000Z
Like, there can't be multiple journals with the username naruto.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:22:05.000Z
So people have to get creative. It's up to you if you want to do that, though.

My AU Howard Stark is flirtyinventor since she's a massive flirt who is also an inventor.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:23:45.000Z
Okay, now it looks like you're playing what we call a fandom OC, which is an original character based off a specific media property (yours is Pokemon).
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:23:58.000Z
Which just means you have to follow the instructions for that on the application page.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:24:02.000Z
With me so far?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:24:45.000Z
Anyways, you need a decently well fleshed out personality and some history for your character. The application page will go over the requirements.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:26:14.000Z
You will also most likely want to post on the test drive.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:26:34.000Z
Since one of the application requirements is a sample of you playing your character.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:26:37.000Z
Now what?
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:27:06.000Z
Do you have a personality and history thought out?
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:30:05.000Z
I’m not sure.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:30:15.000Z
I’m totally new to this.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:34:13.000Z
Okay, just sit down and make up some things that happened to your character and what kind of personality they might have. This will take some thought. Many people find it easier to just use a preexisting fictional character from media. But you can make up your character, totally!
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T00:34:30.000Z
Actually, read my example applicaiton, it is for an original character of mine.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T00:37:23.000Z
I need private help

You can PM me.
AdamTheMinccino
2020-10-13T01:08:37.000Z
I’m not applying to the game. It’s too much work and I deleted the journal.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T01:09:53.000Z
That's fair.
Love Snake Kaja
2020-10-13T01:11:28.000Z
