QUICK QUESTIONS:

What is the difference between AU and OU?
An OU (Original Universe) character is strictly canon without any alterations. An AU (Alternate Universe) character comes from a player-created alternate reality.

What are the stipulations for applying for characters?

• You cannot play both the AU and OU versions of any one character.


• There can only be one AU version of any given character.


• All AUs will be judged on an individual basis. They can be rejected for subject matter and feasibility. An AU character must still have the personality of their OU counterparts and be recognizable as such.

Why does the OU app only ask for a link to history?
OU characters do NOT require a player-created history section. You are free to link to a suitable overview of your canon, i.e. Wikipedia.

What about the histories for AU characters?
If your history is a CANON AU (like Marvel Ultimates), a link will also suffice.

Do I have to complete a full application for other characters if I'm already in the game?
Every new player must submit a full, complete app for their first character. Subsequent applications after that will ONLY consist of a 3rd person RP sample and how their AU differs from canon, if they are an AU character.

What goes into strengths and weaknesses? Eye lasers?
The strengths and weaknesses sections are for listing physical AND mental strengths and weaknesses. Please give us your characters' powers (if any). These sections should be at least 25-50 words each.

EMAIL ALL COMPLETED APPS TO POSTHUMANSMODSATGMAILDOTCOM.
Put your character's name and fandom (i.e. Tony Stark from Marvel (OU)) in the subject line.

The canon AU I take Tim Drake (Talon) from is Earth 3, the Crime Society (as seen in Countdown), where people's alignments and, to a degree, their personalities are inverted. It is arguable whether Talon is still recognizable as Tim Drake (though I can certainly make the case in the application). Is this still allowable?

this is zippy, i am too lazy to swap accounts lol

I am really confused about something.

How are characters from CANON universes like Marvel Ultimates and MA:A considered AU when the quick questions up there specify and OU is anything in a published canon, and the AU's are PLAYER CREATED.

Ultimate Marvel isn't player created, it's a published Marvel canon, so why do those characters count as AU just because they aren't part of the main 616 timeline?

The way it's explained on this page makes it sound like there can be as many canon versions of a character in game as exist in canon publications, plus one player created AU version - which is perfectly fine and I'm awesome with that, but it doesn't mesh with how characters are being labelled right now or with what I've been told from a mod about canon vs AU.

I am just... really lost and would appreciate some clarification on what is canon and what isn't and why certain canons are being favoured as 'original' over others currently. It's not making a lot of sense to me. :/

Hallo! This setting sounds like so much fun that you've finally succeeded in making me consider joining an online game! (Not that I have anything against them; I just usually tell myself that I have other things I ought to be doing.)

What is the protocol for pulling a character from a particular point in their canon prior to the endpoint they're currently at? I'm thinking of apping John Constantine, but I'd like to muck about with him directly after the "Empathy is the Enemy" storyline.

HI, I'M STILL APPING.

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but are we allowed to recycle tags from threads for the prose sample? I have the worst writer's block for it and, at this point, would like to be lazy. lmfao. but I can just try to beat the block over its head if you prefer fresh samples.

Just wondering, do you have a suggested word limit on these applications? I want to include some of my best, especially concerning the writing samples, but I know you guys are busy and I don't want to overwhelm you with self adulation here... I have this problem with resumes :S

If I wanted to re-app a character I'd dropped, how would I go about doing that?

[eppy]

I have a question. If I was apping a character who was an OU in his canon, but has a counterpart from another canon already in game who was an OU in their particular canon, which application would I be using?

[1truepurring.livejournal.com]

Just a couple questions concerning the samples!

Is there a general length I should shoot for in both third and first person? Also, is it possible to use a post from Dear Mun in the first-person sample, so long as it relates to the game or would it be better to just write a plausible post (not necessarily my intro post)?

If this was covered somewhere, then I'm obviously blind.

Hello! I was wondering...I've been considering apping Barbara Gordon. I know OU histories aren't required, but would it be all right if I wrote one anyway, just to clarify what canon I'm using? (...Comics.)

I plan on a canon-rape slightly modded original character from World of Darkness. Is this okay?
