X-Project

Hi! Welcome to the X-Project player app. Our current list of unplayed characters that we have journals for and would love to see someone apply for is located at the bottom of this page. If you would like to see a sample application, go here.

Your application will be read over by your friendly X_Mods, and we'll get back to you if we have any questions or need clarification. If you have any questions, please get in touch -- x_moderators@googlegroups.com.

Please submit only one app at a time. If your application is not selected for this particular character, please feel free to submit a second app for a different character. There are no Original Characters at this time.

Information which will be made public

Character:
Proposed Character LiveJournal name: (This must start with "x_", as in "x_avier","x_juggernaut", "x_storm" or "x_coldhands".) We prefer that you use a name that will easily make the character journal recognizable, usually this is the character's name from the canon movie or comics. However, this is not a hard and fast rule (for example, Jamie Madrox's journal is x_crowdofone, and Paige Guthrie's is x_foliate)
Player name:
Player LiveJournal:
Player email address:
Player AIM:
Player Y!M:
Player's age: (this is due to the occasional adult nature of the game)

Character description:
(If your character appeared onscreen in the first or second X-Men film, we would like to request that their description stay consistent with what was shown. In addition, if you are applying for a character that has been previously played in X-Project and is now open for applications, we would request that you familiarize yourself with the character's in-game backstory.)

Mental/Emotional/Social Description:

(How does your character think? How does s/he deal with others? How about him/herself? Does s/he handle stress well? What is his/her base emotional state? Is s/he usually sad, happy, sullen, depressed, angry...? Is s/he very clever, or a little slow? What is s/he particularly good at? How about what s/he's bad at? How well adjusted is your character? Does s/he handle one-on-one situations well? How about small crowds? Large crowds? Formal affairs? Authority figures? What does your character fear?)

Background:

(Where did your character grow up? What kind of family was it, large or small, formal or close-knit? What was his/her socio-economic status? How many languages does s/he speak/read/write and what is his/her fluency level in those languages?)

Powers:

(What are your character's mutations? How good is s/he at targeting/using/controlling the power? Have the powers manifested yet? How did they manifest? If the power can do damage, how effective is it? What is the range, speed, flexibility of the power? Is there a physical manifestation? What does it look like?

Information for the Mods only

Player Experience:

(Please list your previous experience with RPGs, fics, writing, etc. If any part of this experience is anonymous, and you'd like to include it, feel free to do so and we'll keep it in the strictest confidence. Just drop us a note.)

Player aims:

(What do you want out of your game experience? What do you envision for your character - do you want them to be an X-Man or join X-Force or Elpis or just graduate without blowing themselves up or become the only guidance counsellor to not need stress leave? What sort of plots do you like? Are you into action? Suspense/horror? Political thrillers? Romance? Slice of life type scenarios?)

Plot ideas:

(Please briefly describe at least one possible plot idea. It can be directly for your character, or something for the game as a whole - possible X-Men, X-Force or Red X missions, character interaction opportunities like a school dance or a field trip (with or without the field trip curse!), an event that leads to powers or other development for your character or just a little two-character adventure. Don't worry about it necessarily fitting into our universe -- it's just to give us an idea of your independent plot-writing abilities.)

Sample entries:

(Please write two sample entries for your character. Think of this as a chance to let us see inside the mindset of the character as you perceive them. These should be public entries and not personal introspectives as there are no 'locked posts' on the character journals in-game. At least one entry should be to the character's personal journal, whilst the other can be to x_journal, x_staff, x_students, x_snowvalley or x_team.)

Misc:

(How did you find X-Project? Are you a reader, did a friend recommend the game to you, did you see us advertised on one of the RPG sites or did you just stumble across us?

Anything else you think we should know about you?

Test Log:

Depending on experience with similar games, a test log could be requested during review of the app.)

Thanks. Please email this application to x_moderators@googlegroups.com with the subject line " character name | your name | application". We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Cheers,
--the X_Mods
