Ophiuchus Apps

[sabra_la_mods]

This is the app page for the Ophiuchus Unit. If you are looking for the regular apps, they are here. If you need to request permission for a third character, have questions, or are concerned about your activity, please contact one of the mods on IRC or e-mail us at sabra.la.mods@gmail.com. Please read the Ophiuchus Unit Info Page before apping, especially the sections on Apps and Arrivals. As usual, we appreciate uniqueness, creativity, and brevity. The App Contact/Personal Info A comment separate from your app with your name, preferred journal, and email. Making it a separate comment lets us know who you are, but lets us keep your email address screened. Canon (and version, if applicable) Should be pretty straightforward! Reference Picture and Wiki link (again, if applicable) Again, pretty straightforward! Point in the time-line taken Whether the character comes from the end of the series or a point partway through. For characters being apped from ongoing canons, we ask that you pick a definite spot to start from, though you are welcome to add memories past that point when your canon progresses. Character History A brief summary of your characters history, just so the mods have at least a little background to go on. This section generally need be no longer than 300 words, and if it takes up more than an entire comment you have done it wrong. Motivation Basically, why this character would willingly agree to come to Sabra. What you write in here isn't set in stone, especially for ongoing canons, and doesn't have to be that SPECIFIC WISH, but show us you're thinking about it at the least! Canon Personality Can be a little longer than the history, if necessary. Blank Personality The most important section! Please explain what personality traits you believe your character will lose and retain upon arriving in Sabra La Tau and why. Analysis of why your characters do what they do, and how their memories shape those actions is necessary to give an acceptable answer to this section; simply listing how your character will act is not enough. Some characters may act in an extremely similar fashion to their canon selves and some may act radically different. However, in either case, we want you to explain why. We want the players to chose for themselves what their character would be like sans memories, but unsupportable (or simply unsupported) answers will be rejected. Why does your character wish to join Ophiuchus? For in-game transfers only. Why does your character seek to switch units? How would this character act in a position of authority? These Blanks will be treated significantly better than normal Blanks, and are put in a position of authority over them. In what ways will this affect their character development? What are their combat capabilities? Ophiuchus is often asked to undertake tasks requiring a certain level of force. Tell us about your power levels! Do they possess any additional tactical or otherwise useful skills? Anything you think may be useful, please put here. Under what circumstances would they rebel against the Judges? Is there a certain person or memory that will give your character a sudden desire to STICK IT TO THE MAN? Writing Sample Much the same as the regular app writing sample, the main thing we are looking for here is characterization. As a general rule of thumb, we tend to prefer apps that describe the Blanks' reaction to seeing themselves in the message over the ones that concentrate on the Blanks' reaction to the room or their own sense of confusion. Introspection is key! How would your Blank's reaction be different from other Blanks? Remember, Ophiuchus members get a 20 word message to themselves, and they must say, "I shall serve the Judges faithfully."
