Hey Bleu Chess
I'm actually about to head off to sleep now, but before I go I'll just link you over to the OoC
http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/80505-toybox-memories/ooc

We currently have 2 Vacancies;
Crimmy
Bleu Chess
Rae Zer
So that's 3/2, meaning one person will unfortunately have to be knocked back. If you're name is listed above, you can 'reserve a spot' for upto 24 hours to get your CS done. Just let me know~
Haha yeah, I absolutely adored NomNom's character application too, it was pretty much exactly what I'd hoped for in a character sheet. Detailed, cohesive and interesting~

I'm going to head off to bed now, but one last thing to those writing up their CS's.
Please try to avoid using the term 'anti-social' unless you're planning on going for a character that's unpleasant or unlikeable. If your character isn't good at interacting with others there are much better words out there.
Out of the 4 CS's I've received so far, 3 of them have had 'Anti-Social' quoted somewhere on their profile. >_<

Looking forward to it~
It's going to be a long two days though~
There's no particular rule regarding what place or time period a character is from.
While I assume most characters will originate from 21st century, it's possible to have characters that date back a few hundred years. So it's possible for one character to be an iphone addicted junkie, while another one could be a feudal samurai that's never seen a landline phone before, and still communicates with a letter tied to an arrow...

If you decide to go with such a character though, try to keep in mind that such characters have no memory of their past. And that others should not immediately be able to figure out (without a doubt) you're a prehistoric neanderthal. Suspicion is fine though.




I've only received one Character application at this point in time, but I feel like I should make a really important point about character personality/traits/attributes etcetc.

Important Character Application Information

I have a strong preference towards characters that can fall into a category.
In other words, most of their traits/strengths/weaknesses should all contribute to an overall image.
I don't want to know that your character is nice when they're happy, and a bitch when they're pissed... I can figure that out without it being stated.

Eg; If I'm going to make the cheerful athletic girl stereotype, it's perfectly okay to have her secret hobby be cooking. However I don't recommend you add in that she's also a bookworm, has trust issues, folds paper cranes in her spare time, and went to go compete at the chess world championships.

I fully support being creative and mixing things up, but considering the way the character sheet is setup, a character like that just seems scattered, poorly thought out, and not at all appealing.
Well after taking a nap and thinking things over I've decided to start taking reservations for spots now. For some reason my sleepy head didn't realize I was sending out mixed messages by saying I'd be accepting CS as they come, and then telling people to take their time xD

So yeah, at present I'll be listing
- KoL
- Karamonnom
- MelodyNoir
As reserved as they've specifically stated that they're writing up a CS, or going to be doing so in the immediate future. At present 11 people have expressed interest in this roleplay, but I'm pretty sure at least a few have opted to drop their interest so there shouldn't be any 'immediate' chance of someone getting knocked back... with the exception of inadequate or incompatible character applications.

xD Well at least you're able to post from your phone, I've personally never had the patience for it~
I've posted the character sheet in a few places but it seems I'd forgotten to add it to the first post >_<
I've added a link to the WIP/OoC in my signature, and above.
The CS can be found in the character sheet tab.

No hurry on the CS's though, I'd much rather people take an extra day or two than have people throw in some half-baked character.
O_o
So many people~
Not sure if I should be worried or overjoyed... so I'll just stick to smiling and nodding my head in approval... or something xD

@TrixyTrix
Disappearing for two days each week isn't too big a deal since I doubt anyone's going to start crying about inactivity after just two days. But if you're able to sneak in an OoC post about being gone for the next few days that'd be really helpful to those who are interacting with you. So yeah, not essential but that'd be great.

@Karamonnom
Sounds good, I look forward to seeing your CS. :3


Name: Zeke
Age: 24(?)
Gender: Male
Height: 5’8” (173cm)
Hair Color: Midnight Silver
Eye Color: Platinum Blue

Personality:
- Brutally Honest: Most people know when to shut up, others might know how to sugar-coat unpleasant news with soft gentle words. Zeke unfortunately doesn’t understand or even attempt to do either. On some occasions this means he’s truthful and honest, but other times he simply lacks and tact. He does tend to keep a close guard over his secrets, but in most situations he’ll blurt out his thoughts without processing them in his mind first. Unfortunately this work both ways and he’s pretty easy to fool as well as he doesn’t really expect others to lie to him.
- Invasively Intrusive: The concept of personal-space is completely foreign to Zeke and he’ll like ruffle a few feathers by poking his head into matters that don’t really concern him. Even if he acknowledges in his mind that some matters are better left untouched, he’s never been good at controlling his own curiosity. Additionally He doesn’t enjoy being excluded, nor does he like seeing others being left out.
- Troublemaker: Zeke is neither sadistic nor cruel, but he does have a tendency of taking some of his pranks a bit too far. Excitement has always been hard to come by in the Toybox Realm, and while he won’t openly admit it, he’s overjoyed at the arrival of new ‘toys’ to play with. And what better way to do that then mess with their heads? Seeing someone joyously laughing, and hearing someone furiously shouting out at him are equally refreshing, and he firmly believes that the dull face of boredom is the worst thing in existence.

Strengths and Skills:
- Physically Wolf: Zeke moves with the swiftness and stealth of a wolf on the prowl, his heightened sense of hearing can be attributed to the pair of canine ears perched atop his head, whereas his sense of smell seems to be more sensitive than most.
- Unpredictable Instincts: Planning is tedious, and thinking is boring. Zeke doesn’t follow the same logical thought-patterns of those around him and can often seem spontaneous and reckless. It’s true that he tends to not things through, but years of living in the Toybox Realm have sharpened his senses and given rise to a set of instincts that can sometimes prove to be more reliable.
- Knowledgeable: Zeke is far from being a sagely tome of wisdom, but when it comes to the basics of the Toybox Realm no one is more familiar with things than he is. Unfortunately he’s not willing to share his knowledge for free, and there are some things he won’t reveal even in exchange for a juicy medium-rare steak.

Flaws and Weaknesses:
- Insatiable Glutton: Zeke’s appetite is so large that some have started to speculate that his stomach might be linked up with another dimension. You’ll never find him turning down an opportunity to eat, in fact he’ll even reduce himself to becoming a filthy little thief when food is involved. Especially when there’s meat involved. His table manners however are abysmal, and to make matters worse he specializes in eating, and isn’t willing to assist in the preparation of food that precedes, nor the clean-up that follows.
- Impatient: Zeke is awfully impatient, and easily gets bored when things aren’t moving fast enough for him. He’s been known to fall asleep during conversations, and he often ‘forgets’ things he’s been told since he hasn’t been paying attention. Additionally he’s the type to gamble safety in exchange for a cheap thrill.
- Hopelessly Unskilled: Zeke is hopelessly useless at so many things it’d hard to list them all down. A mess will clean itself, and once something it broken it can be discarded as junk, food is food as long as you can stomach it, and music is just a series of strange noises strung together. Leisurely hobbies and daily skills might seem nostalgic to some, but to Zeke they might as well be a foreign language.

Memories:
- (Identity): ???
- (Event): ???
- (Dreams): ???
- (Death): ???

Other:
Toybox Inhabitant: Zeke resided in the ‘Toybox Realm’ before any of the others arrived. His purpose and existence are a complete mystery, and he seems to know much more than he’s letting on. But overall he seems pretty harmless.
If there are still shorts open I'd like to get into this too. I can post at least once per day and am particularly interested in this kind of idea. All the other things you've listed will be no problem too.


I don't know if we have any 'shorts' open, and I'm not sure I approve of you trying to get into them either. *Gets hit for the bad sex joke xD

As far as I'm aware we're still open, I've only had one person send me a CS so far.
I'll pretty much be accepting CS's as they come. (Though rest assured I'll be knocking most back for corrections and stuff xD).

One of my conditions have been OoC activity, so I'm only willing to save spots for those who are able to engage and maintain some level of discussion here in the Intchk xD Otherwise, all slot are open~

Oh of course xD
The survey thing's mainly there to get a feel of how often people 'think' they can post.
And isn't really a contract-of-death which people will be routinely held up to xD
Judging from what others have generally replied waiting on others shouldn't be too big a problem.
Though since the groups attracting mostly daily posters, I might have to turn away a few who can only post once or twice a week. :/
