putitherepleaseContact Info: Please give us at least one other means of contacting you.
Other Characters: You may remove this section if this will be your first character in game.
IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Western order, por favor.
Age: In years, if possible.
Canon: Links to you canon's Wikipedia entry or it's own wiki or at least something to tell us what he hot haps are.
Canon Point: Exact page numbers and panels aren't necessary, but being specific is good.
Species: Note that any species other than human will become human. Animals, aliens, even human like beings. You're going to become homo sapiens like the rest of us.
Gender: Both physical and mental.
Orientation: FILL THIS OUT IF YOU HAVE A CHARACTER THAT IS OVER 18, NO BUTS. Here at Holly Heights, we don't discriminate against anyone's orientations. That being said, if your character is gay, we aren't going to make them take a wife when housing plans are given. Gay marriage is completely legal. Please give us a short and simple reason you think they are gay/straight/bi/etc if they don't have an explicitly state sexuality. Please keep it short, though. We do know it's tempting to tl;dr about things like this. Long story short, the real question is Would your character be more comfortable with a wife, husband, or either?, so that we know what houses to place them in.
History: Links will suffice, but please write it out if the links are insufficient.
Appearance: A picture will be sufficient, but we'd never turn down a written explanation.
Personality: This should be the biggest part of the application unless your history is written out. There should at least be 3 paragraphs OR 300+ words. No links. Using old app sections for this AS LONG AS THEY ARE YOUR OWN is reasonable.
Abilites: Please note that in this domestic paradise, powers will be taken. Will you get them back? If you behave, perhaps. Please list any special powers your character has and any natural talents that they possess. This can range from flying to having nice handwriting.
Other: Anything else you'd like to include? Put it here.
SAMPLES
First Person: "Action brackets", this will be your cell phone, webcam, and text related communicating. At least eight sentences is required. You may link from a musebox, a meme thread, or a previous roleplays tag for this section. When linking singular threads, however, make sure that they are at least 10 comments long from YOUR character to accurately judge. Can be taken from
![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
testrun_box.Third Person: This is more like a log entry and action related. It should could more "he/she" than "I". Please give us at least two paragraphs OR 10+ lines or text. You may link to a musebox post or previous roleplay log for this but only if you didn't link for your first person and vice versa. Also remember that this isn't fanfiction and should act like a log post would . Just rambling on like a novel isn't writing a log. If linking, please make sure that there are at least 5 responses from your character to accurately judge. Can be taken from

Housing Request?: If you already have a place you want to live or a person you'd wish to live with, please say so here so it may be considered.
Did you read the rules & FAQ?: Please say yes or I swear to God I will reject you.
Apps should be formatted with the subject CHARACTER | CANON | RESERVED/NOT RESERVED or some variant.
Apps MUST be placed in comments so that they may not be edited or deleted unless by a mod, aka no linking. You may split the application up into as many sections as you wish.
All comments will be screened, though you will be given the option to unscreen them. Applications that are good examples of what we're looking for might be asked to be linked to as samples in future rounds.
SAMPLE APPS:

First Person:
[There is quite the long pause after the video feed clicks on, the less than happy man staring rather intensely out at anyone that might be watching. He's got the remainder of a cigarette at his lips, the man taking a long drag before exhaling and clearing his throat.]
Well, this is just peachy. Stuck, for lack of a better term, I suppose...
At least I've got plenty of cigarettes here and the place is decent enough, I suppose. [He pauses, letting a wry smile pass over his lips before speaking again, more to himself than anything.]
I think I'd even be okay if this was someone's idea of a really bad joke.
I guess I could look around a little. Treat all of this crap like it's a mini-vacation or something...
Maybe even a fresh start? [There's a pause as he thinks on it, letting out something of a snort before he mumbles to himself again.]
...I think I would have preferred making my own decisions, though.
[But then given the situation, who wouldn't? A new house was all well and good, but having someone else picked out for you to live with, that was something else entirely. Of course, it was the same as being born into his family, given the choice he definitely would have chosen something different. After a rather long pause he finally addresses the screen as if he's actually talking to someone else, rather than simply being terribly introspective.]
Anybody know where a man's supposed to get a good drink around here?
Third Person:
The first day and a half of his adventure had been wasted by lounging around in his new bedroom and smoking. Though, perhaps the more proper term for it would be sulking, but he wasn't really in the mood to correct or question his thought process. The problem at hand wasn't that he was particularly bored or in need of socialization, it was the fact that he was out of damn cigarettes. It was finally after an hour of staring into the empty pack that he tossed it to the side, letting out a heavy sigh as he brought his hand back through his hair.
He began to make a list in his head, the pros and cons of venturing out into the house in search of something that may or may not even be in the cupboards, wondering the same of the town itself. Flat look on his face he continued, expression becoming more and more disgruntled as more things came to mind; coffee, for one. Coffee and food, he'd never been much of a breakfast person but a traditional breakfast even managed to sound good to him at the moment. He let out a snort as he finally brought himself to his feet, hand coming up to push his glasses back up onto his nose.
"...don't be stupid, a place like this has got to have a coffee pot!" He finally muttered to himself, stepping toward the door and trying to decide if he would regret his decision. What was he going to find out there in the rest of the town? Or even lurking in his own house? Another sigh as he finally undid the lock and began to turn the doorknob, he may as well find out sooner than later.
OTHER

Congrats, your application has been accepted! Your character is now living at 1400 in Holly Heights, with the Spouse 1 slot. In order to get the ball rolling, here's what you need to do:
Please refrain from posting to any IC comm until the game opens on May 1st. I hope you enjoy your stay here! Also, please tell me if you'd like your app to be unscreened.
QUESTION
Because your app is really what is being looked for in terms of what in terms of form, content, and general appy-ness, I humbly ask if you would let your application be unscreened and link to as a sample application. You can, of course, say yes or no, and no feelings will be hurt!
Re: Accepted!
Here is the journal and feel free to unscreen the application! I'm glad it's what you guys were looking for and I totally don't mind other people being able to see it! c:
