Student Application
This is the application for those wishing to play a sailor senshi who is either a member of the Sailor Quartetto or a civilian who tested positive for an unawakened Sailor Crystal. Please fill out the application as completely as possible. Various useful sites include: RPG de Freak, Seventh Sanctum, and Jeffrey's Japanese <-> English Dictionary Server. Dies Gaudii is a supreme site for information on the original series, if you wish to gain clarity on anything mentioned in the manga.
General Information
Alias: What would you like to be called?
Email Address: This is essential--leaving out your email address is an automatic reject, even though you are emailing it and I could check the sender's address on the email. When I save the application and delete the email, I need to have the address on the application so I can contact you in the future.
Civilian Information
Name: This should be Japanese, and ordered with the surname first and the proper name second, for example: Tsukino Usagi. In parenthesis include the name's meaning, ex: (Rabbit of the Moon). The name's meaning does not have to be literal, just as the literal translation of Tsukino Usagi is NOT Rabbit of the Moon, but it should be the meaning you find significant. Please note that this does NOT allow you to just make something up.
Gender: I support the idea that sailor senshi can be both male and female.
Birth Date, Zodiac Sign, and Age: Birth date's should be ordered Month Day, Year. The year of the birth date and your character's age in relation to the birth date can be derived with this information: It is the year 3491 A.D., and the RPG opens in the month of April as Japanese schools begin the new term. Please separate the birth date from the zodiac sign from the age with commas.
Blood Type: A, B, AB, or O. If negative, please indicate so. Keep in mind that blood types are thought to have significant relation to one's personality--just like zodiac signs.
Favourite Colour:
Favourite Food:
Least Favourite Food:
Dream: By "dream" I mean goal(s) for the future.
Grade Level: The cut-off month for each year is March. For example, an eighth grade student would be born between the dates of April 1st, 3476 A.D. and March 30th, 3477 A.D. Grade "skipping" is not practiced in Japan--or else why would Mizuno Ami, with an IQ of 300, still be in eighth grade at age fourteen?
Favourite Class:
Least Favourite Class:
Height:
Weight: Please, try to be realistic: not everyone is underweight. This is a good reference for weights in regards to height.
Build: How is the character built? Does she have a large chest? Is he incredibly muscular? These are appearance details about the character's body that will help me draw them correctly.
Skin Colour: If you want to be particular, include the HEX code.
Eye Colour: If you want to be particular, include the HEX code.
Hair Colour: If you want to be particular, include the HEX code.
Hairstyle: Make sure to describe it effectively enough that I can draw it, please.
Additional Notes: If the character has any other noticeable physical traits, list them here.
Attire: How your character prefers to dress, and the kinds of clothes do they like to wear. Habitual jewelry would be listed in this section.
Personality: This should be at least a few paragraphs long. Include information such as the impression your character usually gives off, how he acts around friends, how he acts around family, and how he acts around strangers, thoughts that usually occupy his mind, personality strengths he has, weaknesses he possesses, the things he fears and why, and why or why not he likes or dislikes certain things.
Family: Not much information is necessary here, just the family member's name, age, profession (if he or she has one), and a note or two about how your character interacts with that member of his family.
History: Your character only discovers he or she is a senshi when he or she receives the acceptance letter to Senshi University in the mail--you are not allowed to awaken yourself. The character will not even know which senshi he or she is or what his or her transformation item is until they are examined upon entering Senshi University. Sailor senshi at this time are all dormant--there's nothing out there to fight.
Soldier Information
Soldier Name: Sailor so-and-so can be used for both boys and girls, and males or females can have Tuxedo Kamen-esque names. If you chose to go that route, however, there needs to be a good deal of originality: no Tudexo-something's or something-Kamen. Or, Heaven forbid, "Blah-blah-blah Knight." Also keep in mind that sailor senshi will be grouped into teams depending upon element and name. If another senshi has a name that you think would inspire a good team, continue the pattern.
Element: Try not to be cliche, please. There are plenty of ideas for elements out there.
Symbol: Describe this as best you can or provide a picture. I have to be able to draw it.
Signature Colours: No more than three; three is already pushing it. If you want to be particular, include the HEX codes.
Transformation Phrase: Please place it within quotation marks.
Transformation Item: This is a bit of a subject--each senshi has his or her own transformation item. However, upon admittance to Senshi University, a generic transformation item is issued--the student's dorm room key emblazoned with his or her symbol. With this object, the student transforms into the generic Senshi University sailor senshi training outfit. (How is that even possible? Power of the Maboroshi no Ginzuishou.) His or her true transformation object is only used in battle or higher-level senshi-to-senshi sparring.
Soldier Costume: Describe the outfit your character wears in her true senshi form. Make sure not to forget things like jewelry, if applicable, and footwear. (People seem to leave out their shoes quite often.) When in the generic training outfit, some jewelry (namely earrings) is carried over. Make sure this is described to the best of your ability so that I can draw it with as little confusion as possible.
Weapon: A weapon is optional.
Powers: First, list any ambiguous powers (if any) that your character has control over. Then include the one attack on a separate line below, with the attack name in quotation marks. And, yes, you only get one attack. Team leaders are the only senshi to get two, and they are determined further into the game.
Additional Information
Notes: If there's anything else important about your character, mention it here. Keep in mind that if you don't mention something in your application, YOU CANNOT USE IT IN GAME PLAY without extensive discussion with me, and then it is left entirely to my discretion.
Writing Sample: Write about what happens when your character receives his or her acceptance letter commanding him or her to attend Senshi University and his or her reaction to the letter. This should be a few paragaphs long at the least, and spelling and grammar should be checked. The writing sample is important--it assures me that you can write well enough to contribute to the game. Failing to include a writing sample is an automatic reject, and the application weighs heavily on the writing sample--don't overlook it.
That's it; you've reached the end of the application. Spell-check and read over it to try and catch grammatical errors, save the document somewhere on your computer (in case it gets lost in cyber-space), and then send it to [email protected] with the subject as "Student Application." Please note that spelling and grammar are important in the application: I'm not going to nit-pick, as no-one's perfect, but applications with many spelling and grammatical errors will be rejected on principle alone. If don't have a good grasp of the English language, how can you participate in a game that takes place entirely in writing? It may take up to a week for me to review applications and make a decision, but your character will go up as "pending" in the results section as soon as I receive it. If you don't see your character pending within two or three days of sending your application, you may want to check to ensure I have actually received it.
