If you have no idea who we are, come by the shop!

Quote:

Here is where I write a shop synopsis since a lot of people have sent in entries in the past that didn't fit in the shop's mythology or whatever:

The ICRS is a criminal rehabilitation program for lawbreaking aliens. The first stage of this breedable is an alien criminal, ready to be sent flying through space to land on Gaia in their new form, a squishy, nearly harmless baby. They don't have the motor skills to speak or walk, but most remember who they were and why they were sent to Gaia. Your Criminal and your Baby should not have the same name, nor should they really look alike. (There are always exceptions to the appearance thing, and most babies have some aspect of their baby form that is a callback to what they looked like as an alien.) Male aliens can arrive on Gaia as little girls and vice versa. If you want your kid to have any sort of magical powers, they must be significantly different from the ones they had on their home planet. The idea is that they're being punished and if everything about them remained the same, it wouldn't be much of a punishment.

ICRS kids are RP-required. That's about it. Ask questions in the thread.

1. Come in here and decide to enter.

2. Answer ten of the twenty questions below to the best of your ability, in character. Some are designated Criminal, some are Gaian and some are Guardian. Here's what that means.

Criminal - Answer these questions as your criminal would have before they were sentenced and sent to Gaia. You can even go so far as to come up with the answers they would have given before they even committed the crime they're charged with. Think alien point of view. That thing in post two is your Criminal.

Gaian - These questions are to be answered by the Gaian your criminal becomes, once they have committed their crime (or have been falsely accused, of course) and have been shipped off to Gaia. You're free to make them any age you want and vary ages between questions, but if the question is about sex and you choose to answer it from the perspective of a toddler, I'm probably going to wonder about you. Who knows, it might work. (Note: There are no questions about sex, but you get my point.)

Guardian - These questions are to be answered by your in-character criminal's guardian. The guardian should be at the age they will be when taking care of their new baby.

You can answer the questions in first person (like the character is simply answering a survey) or third person past tense (like a little fabley story), but your answers should be more than one sentence long (I'd say a short paragraph should suffice). I know a lot of these questions could be answered with one word, but pretend you're chatty. You won't win if you submit a bunch of one word answers unless they're accompanied by stylish scribbles or pictures of spitballs or something.

You must answer at least one question from each category.

2a. Have fun.

3. Fill out the form at the bottom of this post and PM it to me, Archie Saturn. Title your PM "COKE OR COCAINE" just for laughs. (I will be disqualifying people for not following this step this time. I'm feeling SASSY.)

4. Wait. I will read your entries and announce the winner based on the creativity of the answers. I will be taking storytelling ability into account, as well as a moderate amount of spelling and grammar. These questions are sort of meant to be humorous, but I have been known to shed a tear for a flatsale entry in the past. If you think you can do emo, go for it.

5. Eat some cheese. If you're allergic, try some finely chopped carrots.

Questions

1. (Criminal) Have you ever been obsessed with someone?

2. (Criminal) What is your favorite form of sustenance?

3. (Criminal) Do you have any family?

4. (Criminal) Do you have a significant other?

5. (Criminal) Have you ever had a pet?

6. (Criminal) Would you ever steal from a fellow member of your species?

7. (Guardian) What's your favorite color?

8. (Guardian) Do you have any other children?

9. (Guardian) Do you like children?

10. (Guardian) Where were you born?

11. (Guardian) Have you ever lied to an authority figure?

12. (Guardian) Do you think clones are beneficial to modern Gaian society?

13. (Guardian) Do you think robots are beneficial to modern Gaian society?

14. (Gaian) Do you think of your home planet often?

15. (Gaian) If you could spend one day back home, what would you do?

16. (Gaian) What's your favorite thing about Gaia?

17. (Gaian) What do you hate about Gaia?

18. (Gaian) Do you feel your punishment has equalled your crime?

19. (Gaian) If you were given a chance to go back in time and stop yourself from committing your crime, would you take it?

20. (?) Make up a question for any of the three categories and answer it.

Form

Guardian's Name: Your username or character name.

Criminal's Name: The Criminal's full name.

Criminal's Gender: Male, female, both, none, cat?

Criminal's Crime: What did the Criminal allegedly do to be sent away for reform? Were they really innocent of this crime?

Name and Brief Description of Home Planet: This can be as long as you want despite the use of the word 'brief.'

Full Description of Criminal's Personality, Powers, and What Makes Them Awesome: Go all out. You're getting a custom backstory, so make it count. Tell me their history, what they like to eat, and anything else that makes them unique.

Answers to the Ten Questions: Please copy and paste the question at the start of your answer so I know what you're talking about, and in the case of the Criminal and Gaian questions, give me a rough estimate as to how old the character is when answering.

1. ALL OF THE MAIN SHOP RULES APPLY. No, I will not be repeating them here.
2. DO NOT enter twice in any way.
3. Don't send your entry more than once unless I've asked you for it or we've talked about it beforehand. All duplicate entries that I don't know are coming will be erased. I won't disqualify you, but only your first entry will be counted, regardless of any mistakes you might have made.
4. This flatsale costs nothing to enter and 12K if you win. As I said before, winning HOOEBAFLs pay 6K.

If you win that'll be in the form you send in. If it affects your answers, you can just mention somewhere that it's a different gender. domokun
