New Character Application Templates

Character Application

Please post your Completed Application in the "Character Applications" subforum under "Character Profiles". MRO does not have word count requirements for posts, but we are a "literate" RP site: please be descriptive in your profile and make sure to proofread, but don't worry about writing the next great novel. For examples, check out our approved Character Profiles.

Once you send in your application, a Moderator will work with you to make sure your mutation is unique and balanced. If you'd like to give yourself a head start, make sure to check our Taken Mutations List to see what powers are already in use by our active members, and our Guide to Creating a Well Defined Power for information on what we look for in the Mutations section. If you're making a Mystic, take a look at our Player's Guide To Mystics. Once your character profile is approved, you'll be able to start posting.

Copy and paste-able applications based on Character Species:

Mutants
(All areas of the application are required, unless marked "if applicable." If they aren't applicable to your character, just leave them blank, but don't delete the section itself—you'll probably find it useful later, once you get RPing.

Things written in parenthesis are notes to help you fill out your character's profile, and don't need to be in the final draft—feel free to delete them before submitting. For example... delete this note!)

[u]Mutations[/u]

[b]Mutation description:[/b]
(Your mutation may have more than one facet, but all abilities must be related to a central power concept. For example, while you can't have a cat shifter that can also teleport, a cat shifter with cat-y senses in their human form would be fine. If you have too many angles to your power, or the angles are too strong for a new character when taken in combination, a Moderator may ask you to cut some out. Never fear—that's what power growths are for, down the line.)
[b]Weaknesses and Limitations:[/b]
(Weaknesses to the power or its use; effects on the character if overused; time limits; ranges; mass, volume, or quantity limits; etcetera. See the Guide to Creating a Well Defined Power for more on what we look for in this section and to get a sense for overall site power levels.)
