MY NAME IS { first, middle, last }
but some people know me better as { c o d e n a m e }
When people see me, they notice...
(Looks go here. Height, weight, eye, skin, hair color. Are they really tall? Haves scales? Are they built like a line-backer, or have fur all over? Is their hair electric blue naturally?)
When they talk to me, though, they might make note of...
(Personality! How does your character feel about mutants and/or humans? Do they have a soft spot for turtles and rainbows, or are they out-and-out rude and simply make no lies about it? Dramatics, dullness, childishness - details are loved.)
Now, as for those people I'm related to, well, I've got...
(Parents, siblings, husband/wife, eces, whatever you want to put here. Heck, throw in the family cat if you want to.)
The things I'm good at? Glad you asked...
(Talents, strengths, whatever you want to call them. Anything from leadership qualities to being a pool shark to making origami can go in here.)
But, well, I'm not completely perfect...
(And weaknesses. Make sure these are personality weaknesses - weaknesses in their powers are in a section all their own below! Do they hate math? Or getting up in the morning? Can your character not control their temper, or do they just loathe being part of a team?)
I guess you want to know about what sets me apart from most of the population, huh? Well...
(Now we get to the fun part - your characters' mutation! Remember: two main mutations are allowed unless you get permission for more (ask a member of the staff). As many secondary mutations as you can handle are allowed.
For example: Wolverine's claws are his primary mutation. His secondaries are his healing factors and heightened senses.
A link to a possibly helpful list of powers can be found in the Power Claim thread!)
Awesome, right? Well, not all the time...
(Power-related weaknesses, kiddies. Cyclops gets bad migraines, Quicksilver has to fuel up sometime between country-wide runs and so on. Lack of control over their power does decidedly count as a weakness - but it can't be their only one.)
If you see me out in the street, you'd notice I wear...
(Clothes, clothes, clothes. If they have a costume design, put it in here - just specify what it is. If they don't, you still have to put down what your character wears casually - multi-layered shirts, daisy-dukes, robes, yadda yadda.)
Maybe some of that comes from my past...
(Your history, my friends, cannot simply be a two-line festival of woe. Not everyone's parents die while getting mugged - but not everyone's parents are exactly totally accepting, either. Whatever you put down, at least a paragraph is required, but more makes your application that much better.
Canon note: Please make sure to research at least the basics of your character, whatever version or mash of versions you use. Try to keep it at least a little realistic - Logan did not evolve from an actual wolverine, for instance, not matter what the eighties would have you believe.)
You want to meet me? It's your lucky day - here's a sneak peek...
(Role-play example here, if you would be so kind. Just like the minimum word count, at least 200 words are needed - but as always, more is loved. This has to be written as the character you're making the application for - no copy+pasting from another character, no using a rp example from another site altogether. Thank you!)
And the person behind the curtain reveals themselves...
(What's your name? How can we contact you? Your favorite color? Add anything about yourself you want to in this section.)
And we got here by...
(Did someone from this site recommend you? Did you like our ad, or just wanted to try something a little different? This bit isn't mandatory, but we'd like to know anyway.)
