Player: Your handle! Player Contact: Discord (mandatory); additional contact is optional Reserve: <a href="">Link!</a> Character: Your character's name! Canon: In addition to the canon title, please include a link to a wiki or otherwise something that provides information about your canon and character, even if it's a quick summary or blurb. If providing a blurb, ~250 words is the maximum. Canon Point: In descriptive terms, rather than a specific chapter or episode. Age:
❥ Characters 15 - 18 will be assigned the role "high school student;" characters 19 - 22 will be assigned the role "college student;" characters 23+ will be assigned the role "teacher." ❥ The only thing this affects is how Extras (the faceless NPCs, students and teachers) will act toward your character. They will treat your PC as if they are living out that role, whether or not they actually attend classes or teach anything. ❥ EG, a character can laze in the sun all day and Extras will still go "Thanks for the class the other day, Mr. Gilgamesh!" ❥ If there is a discrepancy between mental and physical age (EG, mentally 17 but physically thousands of years old), note it. Your character's role will be based on their mental age.

Character Image: A clear image of your character as they currently appear at the canon point you are taking them from. Ideally, a full-body, color image would be preferred, whether canon or fanart. If unavailable, the best, clearest image you have is fine! Height: In feet/inches and centimetres, please. Weight: In kilograms and pounds, please. Hand Size: Descriptors are acceptable (EG, "proportional to height"/"big for height"/"strikingly slender"/etc.) Foot Size: Descriptors are acceptable (see above) Hair Color: If multicolored, note all colors. Hair Length: If variable, describe how. Character Color: <font style="color:#HEX;">#HEX & color name</font> A color associated with your character, whether canon or otherwise. You can choose to make up a color name for your hex code (EG "Bastard Gold" or "Clan-killer Red").
Trope:
❥ See the FAQ for more info. ❥ List your character's "trope" in one sentence or less, such as "kind-hearted thug" or "honor student who is rumored to run a cult." ❥ The setting and Extras will address the character as if they were this role. Role does not have to match character history or personality. No matter what a character does, Extras will only see them and react to them through the lens of their role, and nothing else. ❥ EG, a character with the honor student role will always be treated more favorably by the Extras than the thug, but the honor student may hear gossip about their alleged cult ties as they go through the halls.

Gossip:
❥ No more than 1-2 sentences per piece of gossip. ❥ List 1-3 juicy (even sensationalized) pieces of information that might be said about your character, even if there's no way for people to normally know about it. ❥ The gossip should either be true, or have a grain of truth to it. ❥ Not all pieces of gossip may be used. If you have one you really want used, bold it! ❥ Note that you must be okay with the game at large potentially knowing this gossip as public knowledge, even if your character might not be. ❥ This information can be as simple as "can clear a buffet table in 30 seconds flat" or as heavy as "killed everyone in his clan one rainy night."

Secret:
❥ A secret with visuals from its associated memory (or memory montage, if no one single memory is suffice). Doesn't need to be more than a few sentences. ❥ See the FAQ for more information. ❥ Cannot be the same as gossip. This secret should, ideally, define something foundational about the character's core beliefs or worldview. ❥ List 1 secret that is extremely important to your character that they would not want another person to know. ❥ This could be a fact about themselves; a piece of backstory; or something otherwise exceptionally private, that they're unlikely to willingly share. ❥ Please write this secret with the details anonymized - remove identifying names and terms (EG, "the Uchiha clan" or "Itachi") and instead use descriptors ("a group of individuals wearing a symbol that resembles a fan" or "a young, raven-haired man with red eyes and unusual pupils"). The character receiving your character's secret should not be able to recognize it as yours at a glance; it should require a bit of clue-gathering and problem-solving. ❥ Formatting the secret as a full memshare is acceptable, as is simply describing the memory and its associated secret. However you format it, we would include a descriptive element in your answer. For example: Secret: You find yourself walking through the streets, the bodies of your clan members littering the ground around you. Blood splatters your clan's symbol, a red and white fan, hung from an awning overhead. As you stagger forward, you see him: your brother's silhouette against the moon, blood on his hands. Your mind races, your stomach a knot, your body cold. He tells you he had no reason to kill these people you loved, and you realize the brother you knew never existed. Burning with seething betrayal, you vow to kill him, even if only to stave off the crushing emptiness inside you.

DNIs:
❥ Note here if you have a DNI for any reason, for secret swap pairs or otherwise. ❥ You do not need to elaborate on why, though you are welcome to. ❥ Blanket DNIs ("Please don't pair my adult character with any teens, thank you" or "No men, please") are perfectly acceptable. ❥ We will not be able to reassign secret swap pairs after the game begins.
