Thank you for showing interest in our RP! Here is some information if you would like to join . . .
۞ Character Application Guidelines ۞
★ Before starting on your character please read all rules in the very special 'Rules' forum! It has its own forum, that's how special it is.
★ Also make sure you've read and understand all available lore in the equally special 'Lore' forum! Who knows, you might get some new inspiration? If anything is unclear shoot us a comment in the 'Questions' thread of the OOC.
★ Also, this RP will not be first come first serve. If you know you want to apply for a specific Scout role, notify me in the OOC chat and you will be added to the 'Character Application Database' found below. You will have until the next acceptance deadline (currently TBA) to finish your CS to retain 'reserved' status. Afterwards you risk losing your spot if another party shows interest (exceptions can be made, just PM us).
★ Your profile can be formatted however you'd like as long as it includes all the necessary information and is easy to read. We know profile writing can be a pain in the arse, so don't stress over it. We will appreciate quality of ideas over quantity of paragraphs.
★ Creativity is encouraged! Feel free to use the OOC forum or PM to discuss ideas! We are very open to plot / lore suggestions!
★ Please read through other people's sheets. You may have a lower chance of getting accepted if your character is too similar to someone else's. We'd also greatly appreciate diversity among the cast. :smile3:
★ Tag WIPs either in the thread title or tag section. We will not review any profile tagged as 'WIP' until the tag is removed.
★ You are allowed to have more than one character as long as you can control them. At the moment I'll say everyone can have 1 Scout, 1 Villain (tho talk to me first), and as many normies as they think they can handle.
★ You will be notified through GM comment once your profile is accepted. Also your character will be added to the 'Character Information Database' below.
★ In the unlikely event we request a writing sample from you through PM, don't panic! This can be a link to another RP or something original; just to get a feel for who you are as a writer.
★ Please use one of the following 3 tags in your profile: Scout, Villain, Civilian. May be adding more or adjusting this in the future, but it just makes it easier for people to see who is who and also yup OCD.
۞ Star Scout Contract ۞
Name: (The RP will be set in Japan but your character will go to international school and can therefore come from anywhere)
Age: (Can be literally anything but keep things in mind if you want to romance / be romanced...I mean, I won't judge you for being a lolicon or a silver fox others might. Also most characters should have some sort of tie to SHIS, but they don't have to be students)
Gender: (Did you know there are people who identify as Quantum Gender? I didn't, just learned that today)
Sexuality: (Optional)
Birthday: (Day / Month...and no, it doesn't have to correspond to your character's Scout sign)
Appearance: (Non-transformed. Must have a picture but can be supplemented with description. I'm pretty lenient about face claims, use what feels right)
Hair: (Just for clarification cause some pics have weird lighting or some shiz)
Eyes: (Ditto)
Height: (Ditto again)
Nationality: (Where was your character born?)
School Club: (Most Japanese students have one club, but you can deviate from this if you wish)
Personality: (Doesn't have to be intense, but please make them believable. Most important is to try and include what drives your character [ie: goals and fears]. Also all Scouts will have a related personality attribute to live up to, but your interpretation of that attribute can be as creative as you want. See "Star Scout Attribute" below for more.)
Background: (Again doesn't have to be War and Peace, but anything you feel it would be necessary for the GMs and your fellow RPers to know. Can be War and Peace if you'd really like. Must include how / why they came to SHIS.)
Other: ( :smile2: )
(If not a Star Scout)
Role: (What is your character's occupation / relationship / goals which gives them a place in this RP? Basically we are trying to avoid stranded characters as most of the plot will revolve around this superhero group.)
(If a Star Scout)
Star Scout: (Which sign are you applying for?)
Star Scout Attribute: (There is a tentative list for these in the 'Star Scout' thread of the 'Lore' forum. They are related to the Astrological interpretations, for reasons which you will soon find out. :smile9: However, if you feel strongly about a trait different from the one I've listed, I'm willing to hear you out, but keep in mind they must be related to the astrology in some way and be something ideal / desirable.)
Star Scout Appearance: (Can be literally anything as long as it makes sense for your sign. Might come up with a uniform design at some point or not. You can be a furry if your heart desires. Again, picture preferred but can also supplement with description.)
Star Scout Powers: (You will have 18 points to distribute as you wish. Each section caps out at 5 points. Look at the 'Star Scout' thread of the Lore for more information. This allows us to see what type of unit your Scout is for tactical purposes and also help us keep on top of power balancing / damage measuring.)
Strength - Physical attack power
Defense - Physical defense
Agility - Accuracy / Evasion
Control - Elemental attack power
Resistance - Elemental defense
Resourcefulness- Quick thinking on the battlefield
Special Power: (On top of their physical and elemental capabilities, each Scout also has access to a special power related to their sign's Astrological interpretation. Please describe what you want that power to be here. Think of it as a final attack. Each character can start with one, may add more as time goes by.)
Be sure to include the following:
[SIZE= 14px]-Name of the power (bonus points for memes)[/SIZE]
[SIZE= 14px]-Essence of the power (what is it derived from; each 'special' power is the baby form of an ultimate power that your character will be unaware of and slowly work towards. An 'ultimate' power is a godlike ability that operates on one of the fundamental driving forces of the universe)[/SIZE]
[SIZE= 14px]-Workings of the power (what is the science behind it)[/SIZE]
[SIZE= 14px]-How it works in battle (its effects, turn limitations, ect.)[/SIZE]
Zodiac Charm: (Upon transformation, each Zodiac Charm changes into a weapon or other useful item for your character. Their Zodiac Charm may also give your character one small buff (ie: +1 STR, +1 RES to Fire, ect.) or characteristic (ie: Levitation, helps facilitate special power, ect.). Please provide a photo / description for what you want yours to look like. Look at the 'Star Scouts' thread in the 'Lore' forum for more details.)
Relationship Journal!: (After every round of acceptances I will place code into your profiles for you to fill out. An example of what it will look like is below. Basically this section is like a diary where you get to think about how your character feels about everyone else's. Results should not be influenced by what someone else has put. The "Attraction" scales show the potentiality for your character to develop either a romantic or friendly relationship with the other. Talk to your fellow RPers, plot, build characters, and figure out how your character feels about their peers.)

His shell is really hard but you know in it's own way that's kind of nice, too. But he hangs out with Phildidlo so I don't really want to get involved. I guess I'll just admire him from afar for now!
