Application;
1: Please read the FAQ and Rules before continuing.
2. Please proof-read your application. While no one is perfect, if your application is covered with spelling and grammar errors or otherwise doesn’t make sense, we will ask you to revise! Also, make sure to use your character’s speech quirks in IC text. The speech quirk and samples section needs to be done in the character's font!
3. Don’t skip any sections. Please make sure you’ve filled out answers to every question and met the word limits. If a section doesn't apply to your character, put N/A.
4. Moderators will get to your application as soon as they can. Please don’t harass the moderators about your application.
5. Here is a collection of useful links, including fonts, the chat room, and how to build a fan-troll.
Sample Application
Please look this over for an example of what we want!
Have an earlier version of the application? That's okay! We'll accept any version.

Sample Application
Please look this over for an example of what we want!
[PLAYER] Name: Contact: [UNIVERSE] The more different the universe is from the canon Homestuck universe, the more description this section needs. Is it identical to canon? Then write that, and move on! Is the only difference the characters involved? Is there an original set of trolls or humans in place of the canon groups? Just write down that, and move on. Is it a troll universe with a different hemospectrum? Describe the change to the blood ranks, such as red being in place or purple, and any major cultural shifts that changed the nature of the universe from canon. For example, how different is the universe now the upper caste are intensely psychic? Are you playing a Carapace? Then tell us the status of Derse, Prospit and Skaia's battlefield. Are you playing from an original alien species? Then you're going to need to be detailed in giving us the background of your character's Universe. Cover the culture of the alien species: Is it peaceful, war like or something else? Cover the technology level: Is it space-faring, medieval or an odd mixture? Is there a major ongoing event, such as a permanent natural disaster? This is only to provide context to the rest of the application! Events that directly affect your character's life and their personality go in other sections. For example:
[CHARACTER] Name: Role/Position: What part does your character play in SBURB? If you're a player, what's your SBURB TITLE? If you're a Carapace, what positions are they in the Derse/Prospit society, or are they exiles? Are you an Ancestor, a Guardian, or a Sprite? Species: Whether your character is a human, troll, or some other species. If a troll, what is your blood color? If part of a non-canonical species, please detail the physical appearance of your species, and any natural abilities native to the species (for example, trolls are hardy and heal fast). Age: In sweeps, years or other. Online Handle: This should be easily shortened to two letters! Type/Speech: The text color(s) and speech quirk your character will use. Please use the speech quirk in correct font and color while describing what the quirks are for, and make sure to write out the #HEX CODE. If your character doesn’t talk, skip this section! Strife Portfolio/Weapons: What weapon(s) will your character use? If the weapon enables you to win automatically against any other (or even a significant portion) of characters, please lower the power levels or have the glitch remove it from their sylladex/inventory. For utmost clarification, you should include a list of what weapons your character will be bringing with them into the game, including descriptions about what they are capable of. Psychic/Magic/Other Abilities: If your character has psychic abilities, magic abilities, or other unique traits, list them here and discuss how strong it is and how it can be used: Can you use it to light a candle or to set off a brush fire? As well as any weaknesses- Does it rely on an external item, do you run out of energy, can it be resisted? Give examples. Remember to be reasonable about your powers, and if your character breaks the game, we may ask you to revise this section. The FAQ has a section on powers that may be used, and those that are vetoed. If you don't have a power, put N/A. Derse or Prospit: Players are only granted one dreamself, unless they have a specific reason/theme that enables special circumstances (such as Sollux's duality and Aradia's death before entering the Medium) in which case you can also note that here. If you're a Carapace, pick your alignment! == SBURB PLAYER QUESTIONS == SBURB Powers: Describe the powers your SBURB title gives you, including powers yet to be developed. Give us the strengths and weaknesses of the power, and examples of how it can be used. For example: John, as Heir of Breath, can summon The Breeze- Huge gusts of wind. At this point in his development, he can use the Breeze to summon small tornados, but he lacks finesse and subtly, appearing only to use it for major attacks. When he develops God-Tier rank, he can use the ability to drill giant holes into the center of the land itself as well as the control to fly objects. For utmost clarification, you should include a list of what abilities/fraymotifs your character will have upon entering this session and will acquire in the future (with clear indication of which is which), including descriptions about what they are capable of. Due to the glitch, all players will be reduced to the first few rungs of their echeladder upon entry. Consorts and Imps: This is optional. If you want to bring consorts and imps in from your unique session, you can do that! It isn't mandatory, but the moderators may use your imps as battle encounters. If you do choose to, please describe what characteristics and/or abilities your character's prototyping gives the imps (or include a picture and abilities). History: Go into the history of your character from childhood into their Sburb session up to the time you're taking them from. This should cover how their past has shaped them, and what major life events have impacted them. If it's important to your character's development, it goes here. Mention how they got into Sburb, choices they made in it and how events in Sburb affected them. Minimum word count is 250 words. Personality: The meat of the application: Who is your character? What are their personality traits, how do they interact with people, how are they affected by their Sburb game, and what are they like to know? This should be more about who they are, than what they do. Minimum word count is 300 words. Only the most important of interests should be touched on and the focus should be on the characters psyche and behavior. Example:
Sylladex/Inventory: Are you bringing any items into the game besides weapons and clothing? Obviously you can't bring in a fully-powered Black King Ring or anything that would break the power rules. [SAMPLES] == TYPING/SPEAKING CHARACTERS == Memo: This is a sample written by your character in pesterlog/trollian style, preferably only talking to themselves, and definitely the majority of the speaking should be done by them. Minimum word count is 200 words. This can also be replaced by a thread of thirty comments, fifteen by your character. Action log: This is a sample of ==>. Show your character interacting with something. This can be silly or serious, but it needs to show their personality and reactions. == NON-TYPING/SPEAKING CHARACTERS == Action log: This is not one, but TWO samples of ==>. Show your character interacting with something; this can be silly or serious, but it needs to show their personality and reactions. Minimum word count is 125 words each. One sample can be replaced by a thread of thirty comments, fifteen by your character. Here is the application form for easy copy and paste. Make sure you choose the right one! == SBURB PLAYER == == NPC (Guardian, Ancestor, Sprite) == == CARAPACE == |
