<span style="font-size: larger;"><b>Player Information</b></span>
<b>Player name:</b> What should we call you?
<b>Contact:</b> E-mail/Aim/Plurk. Some way to reach you if we have questions.
<b>Are you over 18:</b> Y/N
<b>Characters in The Box Already:</b> Do you play anyone else in the game?
<span style="font-size: larger;"><b>Character Information</b></span>
<b>Character Name:</b> Full name, if applicable.
<b>Canon:</b> The show/game/book/what have you that they're from.
<b>Canon Point:</b> The point in their story you're taking them from.
<b>History:</b> For characters who have a reasonable amount of information on a wiki page or character bio, a link will suffice. If the character in question is minor or does not have much information posted, you should go into more detail here. OCs will require detailed but concise written histories.
<b>Personality:</b> What is your character like? What motivates them? Be thorough on this section; it's one of the ones we judge most closely. Also, be aware that while we encourage the use of canon examples to back up your statements, most of this section should be about what makes your character tick.
<b>Items on your character at canon point:</b> Most items will be confiscated, especially anything that can be used as a weapon. However, you will be able to put in a request for them later. Tell us what your character has on them at their canon point so we can make sure you know what items they can keep, and what ones they can get back later.
<b>Abilities:</b> We are not only looking for supernatural abilities here, but also specific skills that set this character apart. Are they a good fighter? Do they speak seven languages? Be sure to include mental abilities and skills, not just physical.
<b>Strengths and Weaknesses:</b> Here, we want to know what your character's good and bad points are. Are they someone who can keep their cool in a crisis? Does blood make them faint? Are they a natural leader or a coward who runs at the first sign of danger?
<span style="font-size: larger;"><b>Samples</b></span>
<b>Network/Action Sample:</b> This sample must be in action form (brackets). We are looking for a minimum of 6 to 10 lines that give us an idea of how your character speaks and acts. You may link one of these, action OR prose, to samples from other places as long as they are from 12 months ago or earlier.
<b>Prose Log Sample:</b> 300 word minimum. This sample must be in prose format (paragraphs, no brackets) and should show character reactions/introspection. It does not need to be in The Box setting, but it must demonstrate your character as you are apping them. You may link one of these, action OR prose, to samples from other places as long as they are from 12 months ago or earlier.
