[@POOHEAD189], [@Elkhar], [@FoxFire], [@T Risket], [@SgtEasy], [@Mag Lev], [@Dynamo Frokane] So, I'll explain the whole character application processing so far: [h3][color=gray][u]Crew Members Roster:[/u][/color][/h3] [list] [*][b]The Captain:[/b] Salvatore 'Il Dulce' Brucchelli [*][b]Second in Command:[/b] [*][b]Pilot:[/b] [*][b]The Mechanic:[/b] [*][b]The Weapons Specialist:[/b] [*][b]Intelligence:[/b] [*][b]Diplomat/Public Relations:[/b] [*][b]Financial Manager and Inventory:[/b] [*][b]The Passengers:[/b] [/list] The list above shows the occupations available aboard Strativella which your character will take part of. There are seven positions open which pretty much covers all of you. If this story however garners more attention when its posted on the other forums, then there will be competition and I will choose the best characters suited for their roles as crew members aboard the Strativella. This is not a first come, first served though you guys will have more time to do your characters than the others who might garner interest later if it comes to that. Those who are not accepted can choose to take the role of a passenger who will most probably only be temporary in our story and/or an antagonist (most likely working with International Police, rival smugglers, or members of illegal enterprises which I will probably explain later). Please talk to each other before writing yourself down for a certain job since someone else might be working on a character for that very position. Most of our crew members are already well-acquainted with one another, but we will not elaborate more into how your characters got aboard the vessel and how they all know each other until your characters are officially accepted. This leaves us to one quick thing to keep in mind which is [u]not to write past the date around in which the Great War ended which is around July of 1919[/u] in your bio, for that is when you are hired by the Captain, Salvatore Brucchelli. We'll get to how we got to know each other later, but for now just write down what your occupation is in the application. In the meanwhile, [@FoxFire] and I are working on the lore. Good writing to you all! [hr] As for writing an actual character, here are basically my rules: [list] [*]Please no OP characters without any flaws. [*]If you are going to use artwork for your character, please don't use wacky or unrealistic looking characters. That means no anime, sorry.

You may use sketches as well and it doesn't have to be a Romantic-era painting, but it certainly shouldn't extremely unrealistic (like a guy holding a huge railgun or anything like [url=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/87/da/89/87da89647c3d9c7bbaeaf809ec0f8979--character-reference-character-concept.jpg]this [/url]).

You do not have to use a picture or image and if you are willing to just describe them, that is perfectly fine. [*]Again in your bio, do not write anything past the Great War since this is around the time you come across the Strativella.
