STOP.
Is this your first time here? If it is, before you proceed to submit your application, make sure you have completed the following three tasks:
1) Read the What to Expect post. Before you apply to this game, make sure it’s one you actually want to play in.
2) Read everything in the “Information” section of the site navigation. Most of this information isn’t stuff your character can just gradually learn if you don’t bother to read up on it now. Most of this is information they will have the gist of immediately, or be crucial to the writing of your application.
3) Make sure to check that your character is not listed on the Previously Played section of the Taken page. If they are, you can still apply for them, but you will need to speak with a mod if you wish to play them with a different Changeling concept than the one they will apped with the first time. We can be contacted here. We will do our best to help you find a compromise that works.
APPLICATIONS ARE: OPEN
They'll be open until we decide that we have too many people. It could be soon, it could be never!

CHARACTER INFO
Name:
Gender:
Age:
Source:
Canon Point:
CANON
History: [A wiki link is fine if available!]
Personality: [This doesn't have to be a dissertation, but think about it like you've been asked how to play the character. What are their important traits to remember? Write this as the character in their natural state without the alterations introduced with the memory loss - and remember, regardless of their memories, characters will instinctively act with their original personality.]
INTO THE HEDGE
Seeming: [Possession, Beast, or Servant? See Seemings.]
Role: [What were they used for by their keeper? A rain cloud for their private gardens? A slave working in their vast kitchens? A faithful pet?]
Abilities: [What magical abilities have their gained from their transformation? For Possessions and Beasts these must be related to whatever their true form is. For Servants it will be based on the type of Fae they have been influenced by, as well as their particular role. See Fae Magic for details.]
Description: [For Possessions and Beasts, even when appearing as their original forms they will twisted by what they have become. Think of things like books having text etched into their paper pale skin, and beasts having wings and claws. For Servants this will be their original form but skewed to be more like their Fae influences - fairest influenced will become more beautiful and graceful, ogres will become larger and stronger, and etc.]
Reasoning: [What about your character makes them an appealing subject for this role? Justification doesn't have to be perfect - for example someone turned into an armchair doesn't need fantastic armchair credentials - but is your character a candle flame because of the warmth of their personality? Is your adventurer an atlas because of the many things they've seen? Has your brute of a mobster become like an ogre? Basically, what about your character made you decide on this role thematically?]
MEMORIES
First Memory: [What memory will be the one that wakes them from them sleep?]
Another Five: [Five other memories as examples of what will be regained through events and plots. These aren't set in stone and you are free to edit this list if you think of something better as the game goes on - but we want to see a list of good examples to make sure you're prepared and also to make sure you've taken the memory guidelines into account. More memories than this will be gained in total - this is just a sampler.]
SAMPLES
[Two of the following four:
a) a link to a log with at least 10 comments by your character
b) a link to a network style post made by your character with at least 50 total comments
c) an insightful piece of prose written from the POV of your character focusing on their internal life and thought process
d) an insightful piece of prose written from the POV of your character focusing on them interacting with external objects and/or people]
