Applications
Applications
Additionally, please note that applications received on Saturdays may take up to 24 hours to receive a response, particularly if an app is received last minute. Applications received after 12pm est on Saturdays will not be processed until the following weekend.
Prior to starting your application, please check the Taken Page to ensure they are not already in play. Please ensure that you have Reserved the character you wish to apply for; keep in mind that we do not accept application challenges!
There are a total of four application templates which can be used to apply to LifeAftr:
Canon Universe: your standard application. For a character with a solid canon background who is not being brought in from another game, this is the application for you.
Lesser Background: for characters who may not have much canon background to go off of, such as a silent protagonist or NPC. For further clarification on what constitutes for the lesser background app, check our FAQ.
Original Character: for all your OC needs!
CRAU: if importing from another game, please use the CRAU app. This applies whether the character is canon, lesser, or OC. This is also the template to use if you are re-applying your character with their previous LifeAftr memories.
Note: If importing an OC or Lesser Background character, refer to the respective application form to see the judging standards for each field.
Character Information
Name:
Series:
Appearance: Image link(s) or a written description of the character’s appearance.
Age: If no canon age has been provided, a headcanon age or estimate is acceptable.
Canon Point:
Canon History: Please include a link to a wiki or information sheet for our reference. A write-up is allowed and encouraged for applicants who feel this is insufficient.
Personality: As much or little as needed to provide sufficient insight into the character’s personality.
Abilities: The character's talents, skills, and/or powers. Keep in mind that some powers may need nerfing in accordance with the FAQ. Additionally, be warned that any powers not outlined in this section and used in-game (unless learned through IC development) will be treated as powergaming. Players are free and encouraged to suggest nerfs; if they do not, the mods will provide information on nerfs upon your character's acceptance.
Inventory: Please list the items upon your character's person on arrival, including the amount of each item (i.e., how much ammunition they might have). A brief explanation of each item's purpose and function is greatly appreciated. Keep in mind that all items will have suffered water damage unless sealed, and that technology in particular will have been affected as detailed in the FAQ even if sealed.
Sample
A written RP sample to present your character's voice. This may be done through an existing RP thread or a mod-issued Q&A, the processes of which are described below. Please note that in the interest of processing all applications in a timely manner, we will no longer issue a Q&A by request to applications that have already provided a thread sample. Applicants must choose one or the other. As TDM rewards are tied to thread samples, it is highly recommended to use a thread from the TDM as your sample if you have one.
Thread Sample: Thread samples do not need to be within Lifeaftr’s TDM, however, we do ask that they be pertinent to the style of character you’re apping in (Ex: if CRAU, they should be from the game they are coming from). Additionally, the sample must have been threaded within a year prior to the application date.
- or -
Q&A: For those new to playing their character, who have been out of RP for a time, or who just prefer something different, you may request a Q&A from the mods to be answered ICly. When submitting your app, just note your preference for this here, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!

Age: If no canon age has been provided, a headcanon age or estimate is acceptable.
Canon Point:
Canon History: The character’s role in their canon, how they relate to their world, and how they got to that point in their life. This can be detailed or ambiguous, but should show appreciative insight into the character. This section should primarily be written out for canons with significant player impact on the story, but we would appreciate the inclusion of a link to a wiki or information page, if one exists.
Canon Personality: Detail and assess as much about the character’s fundamental personality as possible using examples from canon material.
Personality Shifts: If the character is from a series with significant player choice, or if they’re an NPC who is affected by said choices, detail this particular version’s thought processes. Leave N/A if the character is a true silent protagonist with a mostly linear story or an NPC unaffected by player decisions.
Abilities: The character's talents, skills, and/or powers. Keep in mind that some powers may need nerfing in accordance with the FAQ. Additionally, be warned that any powers not outlined in this section and used in-game (unless learned through IC development) will be treated as powergaming.

We ask that you put your character name, canon, application type, and whether or not you have reserved your character in the subject header. For readability purposes, we also ask that you link to your application on your journal instead of pasting it into the comment itself.
Only submit your application once you are sure it is complete; as apps are processed throughout the duration of the round, we have no way of tracking if any edits are made after the fact. Likewise, we will only be issuing TDM rewards to those who have proofs at the initial time of submission. TDM rewards are eligible for the TDM corresponding to the current app round only, and require a sustained thread as opposed to merely a top-level.
Those that do not respond to their revisions, Q&A, or acceptance notices within 72 hours will be automatically rejected.
