Application
Applications are currently closed!
This round is closed to previous voidtreckers only. That is any character that you have played in the Voidtrecker Express before. It doesn't matter if you had the character for a few days or played for years.
Because it is our last round there are a few exceptions to our usual app rules:
~ For this round you may go over the capp of 4 characters per person if you wish to and believe you can play them all through endgame.
~ For this round you may app more than one character at a time as long as you believe you can play them all through endgame.
~ Our usual rule on having 3 versions of any character has been lifted. You may re-app a character even if there are three of them in game. As long as it is a previous voidtrecker character they can be played- even if the character has since been apped by someone else.
When apping for this round it would be easiest for us for you to find your original app comment on this page and link it for us in a new comment!
Name: Whatever you want us to call you.
Age: You need to be 16 to play!
Contact details: How can we get in contact with you?
Other characters: Anyone else you play in the game.
Name: Your character's name.
Canon: Where are they from?
Canon Point: The episode or chapter number is fine!
OU/AU/CRAU/OC: If it is an AU please give a brief one line description or title of the AU. If they are a CRAU please tell us which game they are coming from.
Age: Their age or approximate. There is no limit on character ages.
World Information: What is the world in general like where your character hails from. A link to a wiki will suffice for this section! If your character has lived on more than one world (CRAUs etc) please give a brief description of these too.
Personal History: What has happened in your character's life. For OU characters or ‘official’ AU characters, a link to a well-written wiki will suffice. For CRAUs please continue past their canon point to give the history of your character in their previous game.
Personality: The biggie! What makes your character tick? Tell us all about what makes them who they are!
CRAU developments: Delete for non CRAUs. How did your character change; how have their attitudes shifted as a result of being a CRAU.
Key themes: What would you say are the main themes in your character's personal story (as opposed to their canon as a whole). Maximum of three but one is fine!
Main Motivation: The one thing that is most important to them.
Skills: Does your character have powers? List them here! Are they are a great fighter? That also goes here. Can they not fight for toffee but are the actual best at making pies? That goes here too!
Item: Characters can bring one item from home (must fit in their rucksack alongside the basic kit they are given) OR a pet/animal friend (no larger than a medium-sized dog).
Sample: Here is where you show us what you told us in your personality section! Linked threads are fine here. The sample needs to be for the version of the character you are sending here and older threads are fine. Writing an introspective piece or an IC diary entry or even a letter is also fine. As long as we get the feel of the character voice.
Notes: Anything else you want us to know?

Revisions
Before I can accept your app there's a little more that needs doing. To help I have listed a few questions- don't feel like you need to answer all of them exactly as listed, but hopefully they can serve as a guideline for the sections in bold.
Personal History
I would like a bit more of an overview of Sam's life.
What was his life like back in the company? Was he born a clone as a baby and brought up in the company? Or has he always been his 20 year old self? If so how much time has he existed for? Who was his caretaker? Was she important in the company? Were the experiments legit or was she going behind the companies back? What did the experiments entail? What was his general day to day with her like? Why did he kill her? What happened leading up to that moment? Was it premeditated or an accident that he took advantage of? Where did he go? What was his life like afterwards? Did he meet any more people? How was he treated? What did he do?
Personality
I would like to see a more robust personality section. You mentioned his caretaker cultivated his dreams and desires? What were those? If he likes attention does he actively seek people out? Has he ever had any close friends? Or does he move on quickly? What traits and characters was he drawn to in the media he learned from? Is it lonliness that makes him seek any attention even negative? Does he change how he acts around different people? How is he with authority? Does he see himself as a hero? A villain? Some other archetype? Does he have thoughts and feelings about being a clone? His upbringing? Does he feel guilt for killing his caretaker? Did he like her or was he more like her prisoner? Are any of the other clones still alive/around? How does he feel about that? Does he have a list of life experiences he wants to try? How does his living life to the fullest manifest in how he spends his every day?
Sample
It would be great if we could see another sample, ideally written in a thread if you can.
If you have any questions or want to discuss anything with me feel free to contact me for a chat (damua on plurk, damua#1089 on discord). Please submit your revisions by the 29th March, 6am GMT (countdown to help with timezone issues is here)
