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.

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

IC INFORMATION
Characters Name: Dirk Strider.
Age: fifteen.
Canon: here ya go.
Canon Point: Fending off the Crocker Drones on the rooftop of Dirk's house along with Sawtooth and Squarewave.
Species: Human.
Gender: Male.
Orientation: n/a.
History: here ya go.
Appearance: His basic image is pixelated with a "blank" skin color, but I'm going to make the assumption that he is a slim built Caucasian with spiky blonde hair. Dirk also possesses orange-hued eyes.
Personality: The first thing that should be noted is that Dirk is a Strider. Post-Scratch or no (if you mods are knowledgeable in the Homestuck universe, it would make more sense), he's got a mad vibe for all things ironic just like his brother Dave. There's a differing contrast between the two, however, as he's much more serious. There's many a time where Dirk will be the mood-dampener in a conversation or pulling the strings of the many operations going on between his friends to keep things going on. To be exact, one of his many quotes has him saying, "If it puts your mind at ease, I'll be the one pulling the strings here".
There's many hobbies that come with the package of being Dirk Strider, but few are often brought up to others. He has a habit of keeping them to himself unless it's to brag-- the ego that comes with being a Dersite pertains to him as well. His biggest trademark is his skills with building, formatting and doing everything else he can imagine with robots. The guy is extremely intelligent and it's pretty much obvious he's the smartest of his group of friends by the particular and strictly proper syntax he types with. He's almost pompous with his knowledge at some points, but for the most part, he treats the rest of his friends equally and respectfully.
It shouldn't be hard to guess that the way he comes off also means he's a guy with goals in mind. There's little time spent with idle hands when it comes to Dirk, and his many hobbies come into play. Rap-dueling the robots he creates, watching My Little Pony, puppets (!!!), training with his katana and other various weapons. He's got a lot of things to do. Also, it should be noted that all of the characters in Homestuck have another "self", either in Prospit or Derse. When awake in the "real/our" world, they're asleep in the other. But Dirk is different because he's living both lives to the fullest at the same time. So yeah, it can be said with certainty that he is a busy man.
So busy, infact, that he had to build an AR (Autoresponder) to talk to his friends for him. It's an identical replication of him from a younger standpoint and an AI that adapts to information given to him to become smart as all hell. Most of his friends -- Jake English especially -- have a hard time dealing with the fact that AR is always conversing with them as opposed to Dirk himself. This can be evidence that Dirk may prioritizes more physical objects over his friends at times.
Like all characters in Homestuck, their friends make a core part of their overall personality. Dirk may have seen one too many movies like The Karate Kid, because he takes on the role of the hard-assed sensei that tries harder than he should to teach his friends things they should know. He instructs Jake on ways of being less naive, and ironically teaching Jane to be less skeptical. Roxy seems to slip away from his grasp when it comes to that, but he has been known to get onto her and her drinking habits.
Abilites: Dirk's "class" in Homestuck hasn't shown the abilities possessed yet, so I'll refrain from going on too much about that. But he does have a lot of abilities aside from that, like his natural techniques with swordplay, rapping, building and crafting.. the list goes on kind of long. Like previously mentioned from above, he can also control two lives simultaneously. What a BAMF, right.
SAMPLES
First Person:
[ The faint snow located on the screen begins to dissipate as a pair of pointy shades appear on the screen. There isn't a very amused face greeting the viewers, but hey, you might as well get used to it. ]
As great as it is to be accompanied by people and not stone-cold, motherfuckin' heartless robo-dicks, I feel like I'm pulling a card out of a friend's sleeve for some shitty two-cent magic trick. Skepticism isn't my schtick, but.. seriously? Everyone's all happy and go-lucky about the fact that we've been abducted into a peaceful little world? Celebration, Disney World, much? Callin' dibs on the first murder scene. Let me be like my Bro and whip out the trusty camera for the trip back home, if that ever happens.
[ Adjusts shades. ]
Hate being a stick in the mud. Actually, no the fuck I don't, I've been rolling around in the mud more than Babe. Maybe I'll spend the entirety of today going to nearby orphanages and telling them that there's nothing to fear with all of our parents being fake as shit. Everyone'll be all, "Yo, that'll do, pig".
[ A few seconds of silence before he's already reaching to turn the webcam off. ]
If anyone even cares about names and we're not going by serial numbers here, it's Dirk.
Third Person:
[ Only a few hours into this little ball of sunshine called Holly Heights and Dirk's dissecting things like they're victims found dead in the middle of a desolate alley. He found a toaster in the kitchen when prowling through the substantially inadequate kitchen and decided that it would be of his best interest to see how far technology had made it in this world.
Needless to say, it hasn't done much. ]
The heating grids are placed together too tightly. Anything that dares to enter this cylinder-shaped orifice won't be coming out unscathed.
[ Dirk murmurs to himself outloud. His shades no longer have an AR to respond to idly while he fiddles around with junk in the room, better yet knowledge of where the hell his friends are. All he can do is talk and hope that someone out there is listening. If not, at least he's listening to himself. Some people can't even do that. ]
There's been some degradation in the metal as well. This place is supposed to be new, yet rust is on this like it's some kind of inappropriately-used condiment.
[ There's a brief sigh as he wipes his forehead with the back of his hand to remove any sweat. The poor machinery is no longer together, spread apart the counter piece by piece, screw by screw. ]
I could easily put this back together, but I think I'm going to start stockpiling some parts. Maybe I can bring some kind of semblance of my house back here. Hah. Hope my "parents" won't miss their toast being toasted for a while.
