- Please
be sure to thoroughly study the information listed on this site. We understand it's a lot, but bear with us, read it all, and then you should have a good idea of what this world is like.
The site gives you all the information you need on how to create a solid character and elaborates on special sections of this joining application. Also be sure to review the rules section to make sure you don't miss an important join app. requirement. Regardless of whether or not your character has been accepted or denied the GM will still send a confirmation letter and suggestions and/or commentary.
Characters previously used in other worlds and games may still be accepted if they are formatted to fit appropriately into the Crestfallen game setting and species list. Players wanting to use character species of anything other than the listed sentient species in Crestfallen must first discuss at length the details of such a character with the GM before the initial application can be sent.
Don't forget to follow through the very last step of the joining process found at the bottom of this page. As discussed in the rules section the prospective player is required to complete a writing segment, third person, past tense format, from the viewpoint of their character. If accepted and if the player so desires this may become the character's first post. Give your best effort, seeing as how for the vast majority of players, this will be the first example we've seen of your writing skill.
Copy and paste the following information into an email message and send to [email protected] with the subject header "CF Character Application." No attachments, please. Allow up to 2 days for your form to be processed. Thanks.
- REMINDER:
- Two things. Again, remember to send in a short writing segment, written from the viewpoint of your character, 3rd person, past tense format. Only invited players may skip the writing segment. Also, and this is a major personal pet peeve of mine, EVERY part of the application referring to the character as they are currently should be written in 3rd person, present tense ONLY. Anything else, most especially 1st person, present, (shudder, cringe!) tends to take away from the writing itself and so is frowned upon. Third person, past can be used where appropriate. Good luck.
- IMPORTANT CHARACTER ANNOUNCEMENT:
- Please, no ordinary man concepts with boring, uneventful histories. This is not an ordinary setting, and characters should reflect as much. Instead further characters should have at least some recognizable aspect of cyberpunk, punk, horror and or/modern gothic nature about them. The world the characters live in is, after all, a very dark, cruel and technology based one. Rogue human vampyre hunters and sadistic vampyre mercenaries with underdeveloped histories need not apply. This is not a hack'n'slash game. Well developed, interesting, creative characters are our goal.
Though the Gamemaster has yet to put a hold on human and Offspring characters, slots for these types are extremely limited, as we currently several in our number. New vampyres bios currently have a slightly higher chance of being accepted. Thank you.
