OKAY! HELLO! MY FIRST FORUM I FEEL SO SPECIAL! <3

So for those that was not on chat, like some others, when I was at the time of writing this, I am doing some character auditions for my upcoming story! (Which I won't be actually creating any pages on the wiki for until I have written at least one issue, probably six.)

So its pretty basic as always, I have a story idea but unfortuantly I dont have much ideas in terms of characters, so I thought it would be nice to bring back the old Character Auditions like we used to do (and make my job a lot easier. I mean *cough* to bring the communty together. xD) <3

So yeah, lets get on to the rules and what I'm asking for people to do then shall we? (Little warning that I may come across as picky for what I ask which i'm sowwy. I will be the one writing them tho. <3 xD)

So the rules/whatever/stuff..

- The story is set like half a year after the infection has been spreading. The world is still in a good state with cities up and running, goverments in control and the military still doing their job. However the infection has been quickly spreading through out the town's and cities and whenever a city/town has, even the smallest of, a infected siting. It is "Dead Marked" and the military go in and destroy it completely, killing everyone in the place. This has so far happened to about half of the cities and towns but the populations of other places are not truely aware of what has happened and believed that them places were completely ovverun and the military done a good job.

For the characters that I am asking to be put into the story, they will be appearing about half way through the first part (so it gives you a good 12 weeks at least to create a character) and they will be survivors of these "dead marked" places. The default is that they will be appearing as a group who have formed together from the destruction of their homes and they are on the run from the military. HOWEVER if anyone wants their character to appear separatly then please just let me know and it will be so. <3

But yeah, for the most part I don't really want anyone to write anything for their characters in terms of "Post-Apocalypse" I would just like "Pre-Apocalypse" please. <3 The only things that would be need to be mentioned is if they like lost a family member in the destruction or anything like that. Just any small bits that are notable.

- Next one is that ONLY IF YOU WANT TO, you can create 2 characters. However for part one I would only like people to create 2 characters each if they really want to, otherwise I could get overloaded with characters and I want everyone to have their chance. <3 So please make 1 if you like and if you want to do 2? sure! But dont be greedy and take up any more spots. xD

- Another one is, IF you see like 2 female characters already created for example and no males, please try and create a male one because I don't really want to be swarmed by the same gender. <3 Although if you do either have a really good idea for that gender or you cant think of a character for the other, then please do what you like.

- One more final note that I can think of right now. PLEASE, PLEASE choose an actor/actress which has some decent pictures for me to use. Otherwise you will cause me much pain and suffering trying to sort images out. xDD

Ok, so now comes the "creating the character template" as such.

Below will be what i'd like you to use when you are creating your character (so basically just the same old fill the gaps. xD) and i'll give each one a description to give you an idea of what i'm looking for.

Character Box Info

Age : You know...whatever age you want them to be as long as it can look believable on the actor/actress. xD

Origin : NOTE that my story is made up in its own universe with made up cities and towns, so for this one you'll have to either create your own city/town name (and mention which one it is.) or just let me decide.

Ethnicity : You know, mainly whatever the actress or actor is. xD

Occupation : What they were before the apocalypse, you can even mention notable jobs that they got fired from/quit as well. That kinda thing.

Relations : Any family members that are named and important to who they are or who have died recently and are affecting them as well as like wive(s), etc who are either a character that have, again, died recently or you want to apepar in the story as well. (Like if you say they have a still living wife then you can create that character or leave it up to me. <3). Try not to have a best friend/close friend thing though, unless if they are a second character you want to create.)

Nickname(s) : If they have a nickanme then mention so here.

Affiliation : Anyone who they are allied with I guess. Although you know, in an apocalypse where the military betrayed you (since they destroyed the characters hometown.) I cant see many of this. If you think of one though feel free to mention, maybe it can be the other user created characters, if you say you would like them in a group with everyone else.

Other Important Info

Personality : Now I'm not asking for detail in this, there wont be any personality spot on character profiles, all I am asking for is general words of what they are like. You know, if they are nice or an asshole. If they are slutty or not. Just as many words as you want to add to describe how they should act in the story and how you want me to write them. I feel that way it will be easier for me to write. :P

Background : Like personality, i'm not really looking for full descriptive detail. Just important bits like they had a family or they went to war, you know, that kinda thing. xD Just generally anything notable, important or has made them into the type of person they are. Again this isn't for the character profile but more so for me to know their backstory, so either they can tell it to others during the story or you know..its there for refrence and I think i said this before but this is only pre-apocalypse backstory, anything before the descrution of their home is fine but nothing after. :P

Killed Victims : Of coarse this is only if they are like, former military or were a criminal before the apocalypse or something like that.

Alright so thats about it for now. If I think of anything else I'll add it and then of coarse i'll whoever may have submitted a character in at that point of the update. Other than that I hope this wasn't too long for you and I hope to see some characters? :D
