An Introduction

[Fifth Horseman]

Required Questions:
These questions must be answered to start your application

1.    Tell us how you found us, please? A link from another site, another member, a search engine phrase, etcetera.

I want to say the name of the place has been bouncing around in my brain from a writing partner for years, but I never got around to making a character.



2.    Confirmation that you understand our rules. You are responsible for bringing up any questions if you do not understand our rules, so please note any on which you need clarification here.

Confirmed!

3.    A confirmation that you are over eighteen (18) years of age. You don't need to give your birth date, however we do need a clear statement that you are of age.

Confirmed!

4.    Your native language(s) and what region you are from. List your primary language first and include all others in order of fluency. Elliquiy is an English speaking community but it is also a global one.  We welcome members from all over the world, and we love to know where our members hail from.

Southern US, but yes I still speak English as my native tongue.

5.    What are your reasons for joining Elliquiy, and what aspects of our community are you interested in? What do you look for in an on-line community in general, and a role-playing community specifically? Please be descriptive. Elliquiy isn’t just an adult roleplaying site: we have forums for storytelling, poetry, and art; places to socialize with other members; areas to discuss politics and religion; and so much more! You can check out our Preview of Elliquiy to get an idea of what you’ll see as an approved member.

ERP specifically.  Like minded writers.  

6.    Are you new to roleplaying? If so, would you like someone to help you get more involved? If not, please tell us a little about your past experiences. Regardless of your experience what are your expectations from a roleplay partner?

Nope!  Been RP'ing for years, all the way back to IRC chat rooms.

7.    Elliquiy consists of a wide array of sexualities, personalities and enthusiasts of various kinks. How comfortable are you interacting in such a community?

Completely comfortable!

8.    How do you feel about males writing as female characters or females writing as male characters? Please elaborate: do you do this yourself? Would you write with someone who is doing this? If you are transgender or intersex, feel free to adapt this question appropriately.

If you can immerse me in a story, only the character matters.  I've played both sides of the coin for characters before.

9.    Let us know about your pet peeves or other things that bother you. Fetishes you do not like, styles you cannot appreciate and attitudes that annoy you are all valid answers here.


Ugh.  Tickling is... weird.  and I hate present tense.  There's something about it when it comes to writing., at least in long form.  it makes sense in a quick back and forth, but when it comes to longer posts, or prose/fiction.. it's already happened, it needs to be past tense.

Optional Questions:



A.    Would you like to disclose your gender identity? 

Male.



B.    What are some hobbies or activities you particularly enjoy? 

Video Games, RPGs, Wargames... I'm a gamer.



C.    What would you do if a writing partner suddenly, and without prior discussion, included one of your major offs in your roleplay?

send an OOC message directly addressing.  Sometimes this can be an opportunity for conflict, or we could ask to delete a post and rewind a little.

D.    Please describe your writing style and preferences. Information such as preferred genre, writing perspective (first, second, or third person perspective), setting, and post length are great answers.

Not slice of life.  Nope.  Boring.  Fantasy, both high and low, sci-fi of a more dark-and-gritty level.  Modern day if there's some extra element to it.  Not a fan of period/historical.

For post length, on a back-and-forth like here, I'd say probably 3'ish paragraphs?  Enough to get some meat to respond to.  Smut might be shorter, while while story might be longer.

Third person past tense generally preferred unless it's agreed to do differently, especially if it's a story where multiple people might show up.

Italics often for thought bubbles.  Bold often for emphasis.

Generally don't care about face claims.

E.    Please describe your ideal roleplaying partner and their character.

Someone with a sense of humor, a creative streak.  Someone who likes to discuss characters in advance, and is willing to go back and forth on coming up with ideas.  Characters are female, and generally similar; smart, sassy, bratty, adventurous.


F.    As part of the application process, our members like asking fun questions of applicants. We want to get to know you and entertain you during your approval process!



F1. Please let us know if you would you prefer: fun/silly questions, writing prompts, both, or neither. If you opt out, Staff will ask you more serious questions about writing and roleplaying instead.

Yes!


F2. If you would like fun questions or a writing prompt, please start by treating the following as either a question, writing prompt, or character building exercise, and remember to keep it PG13: People start waking up with superpowers, but they are mostly useless. For example, the power to be immune to every third bullet, or the power to force people to do the chicken dance whenever the song is played. What would your ‘mostly useless’ power be, and how would you use it?

The power to make someone sneeze.  Because no more meetings that should have been emails, ONLY EMAILS!


F3. If you prefer no crazy questions or prompts, you can still include a sample of your writing, if you would like; we would love to see your writing style and creativity! As with all areas of Elliquiy you can see right now, please keep your writing sample PG13.

ehh... I need a prompt, please.

G.    Do you have any questions of us? If you have any questions or desires of us in a more direct fashion, please feel free to let us know.
