ApplicationThe below form will need to be filled out by everyone, even those who are applying for canon. We want to be certain that you are capable of playing that character correctly. Please PM the application to all X-Men mods with the subject "TAC: X-Men Application".
Because of Gaia's tendency to be populated by non-literates, more than likely we will return your application back to you with any comments and concerns that we may have. Please do not get discouraged because of this. This is normal for everyone who joins. However, as we have to talk with all of the mods and write down our explanations, please be aware that it will take us some time to review your application. This could be anywhere from a day to even a week depending on how busy we are, if we disagree on parts, etc. Please be patient. If by a week we haven't at least told you we received your application, feel free to inquire about your status. Also realize that if you submit something completely retarded that disregards one or more rules to a serious degree we will outright ignore your application.

Here's some explanations on the form:
Reference link: We don't know every X-Men canon or even remember every little detail about every character out there, so we'd like to learn a bit about them before hand. Please submit a link where we can read up on your character. Omit this if you are applying for an OC.
Alias: Their code name.
Alignment: X-Men, X-Men (Student), or BoEM, or Unaligned.
Occupation: This will most likely be student, unless he or she has a job.
Education: What level of education does your character know? Example: high school Sophomore (Somebody
did indeed get this wrong.)
All of the below fields must be at least one paragraph in length (5-8 sentences) unless otherwise noted. A note for skills/abilities, and things like that: If you don't write it in, then
your character does not have it. End of discussion.
Physical Traits: You may link (but not post) to a picture if you have one, but you are still required to describe your character as well. For physical description we would like to see physique, hair style/length and color, eye color and shape, skin tone, and anything else that would be distinguishing for the character.
Outfit: His/her street clothes. This is more to describe the style of clothing your character wears rather than what outfit they wear often.
Uniform: Most likely your character will not have one, so just write 'none' if this is the case. Or if you want you can describe to us what you'd like your character to have if he/she joins on the team. Though, specify that this is something for later, and not currently in existence.
Major Mutations: These are your character's main powers. Usually they are strongest and/or the most used abilities. Example: Scott's optic blasts. Please be highly descriptive on this, explaining the mutation down to the finest detail. It's advantages, it's drawnbacks, everything.
Minor Mutations: These are your character's lower powers. Usually these do not have a large affect on the user or others. Your character may not have any minor mutations. Example: Kurt can more easily blend in with shadows.
Skills: This is stuff your character is good at, not his/her powers. Skills are something that can be learned, or even perhaps an innate talent. They do not have to be combat related.
Personality: Be as descriptive with this as you can, as this is what determines how your character will interact with everyone else. We'd like to know about your character's beliefs as well as how he/she interacts with others. What is his/her view on the mutant/human situation? Does he/she hate a certain person or faction?
Interests: This can just be a sentence or two, but please don't list.
Family: You may list, though specify names/ages if possible. Remember, your character had to have parents of some kind, so at least saying "mother and father are dead" works, just state something. Characters generally don't spawn out of thin air. >_>
History: Must be at least two paragraphs in length, though preferably longer. We want to hear about the events that lead your character to develop they way they have, how they got themselves in specific situations, and anything else important in understanding them. But remember, mutants generally do not develop their powers until they hit puberty. Meaning 12-13, or older. If your character is 8 and is showing signs of having uber telekinetics, we will outright tell you no on that.
Miscellaneous: Please include any information you think is important to know about your character. Basically this field is optional.
Your roleplay experience. Meaning, what other types of RPGs have you been in (including genre and system of play), how long you've been roleplaying, etc. This will not hinder your chance of acceptance. We just wanna know what sort of roleplaying background you have.
Your knowledge of the X-Men universe. Just so we know where everyone stands and will help us work around potential timeline issues.
Sample roleplay entry. Please don't link to any former RPGs. We do not have the time to scroll through pages of posts to look for yours. Just cut and paste one if you really have to. And please, give us a sample post of the character you are applying for. If you send us a post for Naruto or some other character, that will not show us you have the capabilities of playing the character you requested.
