Apply for Character

When you're ready to choose a character, read the rules, and are very sure you want to stick around for the best and worst, fill out an application. Please be detailed. And no choosing of already taken characters. You should hear from Koh in 7 days or less. Thanks.

When you're done typing your application, you have to mail it to Koh, using the subject "Suikoden 2 RPG application" or something similar. If Koh asks for additional informations or clarifications, you have a week to reply until Koh decides to trash your application, so please be hasty!

Read the FAQ. Read it all. Make absolutely sure that you both read and compare and contrast the examples of accepted and rejected applications in particular. If you put in a one-line answer for Character History, Future Plans, or Personality, you will be rejected.

That's important, so Koh will repeat it. IF YOU PUT IN A ONE-LINE ANSWER ANSWER FOR CHARACTER HISTORY, FUTURE PLANS, OR PERSONALITY, YOU WILL BE REJECTED. Don't even try. Koh also likes it if you display knowledge of what your character's previous story involvement has been. So, if your character has existing chapters, read them and include a summation of those chapters in the Character History section. If your application fails to demonstrate that you're familiar with the FAQ, Koh will deny it. Koh is one tough cookie.

And another note (geez, this should be in the FAQ, probably, but no one seems to read that -_-). All applications for original, taken (which are listed as taken on the page), or excessively out-of-character characters will be automatically thrown out.

Your Name:
Your name/nickname/handle/whatever. We have to call you something when we e-mail you back ^_^;;

Your E-mail:
Enter your e-mail address. Make sure this works so we can get back to you.

Character: (please see the active character list for available characters)

Personality

The character's personality. Just tell us what your character's basic personality is like. Is he/she kind or malicious? Patient or impatient? Soft-spoken or likes to charge headfirst into battle? Any tiny personality traits, such as if the character likes to sit on the left or right side of the toilet is fine too ^_^ Put a lot of thought into this, and PLEASE no one-liner sentences.

Rune:
Note that runes that belong to specific characters only can only be used by them. For instance, no one else but the hero can have the Shining Shield Rune. Your character doesn't have to have the rune he/she has in the game if you don't want, so Viki doesn't have to have the Blinking Rune, etc. About multiple runes, we'll start you off with one for now. Since this RPG takes place before game events, it's assumed that the character is at their lowest level, so some characters can't use 2/3 runes right off the bat. When you want another rune, negotiate with Koh, Janus or Jowy, K?

Character's History:
Your character's background history. Where did he/she come from and how did he/she come to be? Again, no one-liners. Even a character's history as simple as Hix's isn't THAT simple ^_^

Starting Position:
Where your character currently staying at. If the place you want isn't on the map, just choose the "somewhere in..." option then tell where your character is staying in the "plans for character".

NOTE! Toto has been burnt to the ground! That doesn't mean you can't start there. Also, there have been efforts to develop Highland, Grasslands, and Harmonia as locales. If you plan to start in any of those three places in an area not listed, you should ask about the terrain of the land and any cities which might have been created first. And if you choose to start in Toran, be SURE to mention where!

Special Ability:
Every character has to have an ability only he/she can do. Karen can dance, Shu has his brains, Shilo can actually hurt monsters by spitting on them....what is your character's special ability?

Weakness:
Everybody has to have a weakness, apparent or not. This is just to make sure your character isn't too overpowered. For instance, your character has a weak will, or your character will not harm Pokemon or, in Koh's case, a mountain of cookies. ~_^

Plans for character
Any plans you want your character to do throughout the RPG. Hey, we're making sure you don't get stumped after the first two chapters ^^ As the Suikoden 1 RPG asked, what are your character's long-term goals?

Please e-mail lil_koh@yahoo.com with the application. Thanks!
