{10} The Joining Process - Proto Man - 04-10-2015
Step 0 – If you have two characters, you must decide on which one will enter the competition. You may have your second character sign up, but only the one you choose will become a contestant. The other will be free to remain at the staging area, watching the contest with everyone else and benefiting from having their presence known.
Step 1 – Write a roleplay in which your character heads to a registration booth (these are located near all major population centers). There they will find queues for several identical booths. Once at the front of the line, your character will be asked to provide their name and demonstrate ‘what they bring to the competition’ for the cameras (this can be fighting, smack talk, or anything else). After this, they will provided with a form and ushered into another line where they’ll wait to enter through the Dante Verse, where they will arrive in the Lobby of the Preshow Complex.
Please make the subject of your post whatever Verse you are registering from!
Step 2 – You, the writer, will fill out the below information and send it to Proto Man.
Appearance – Your character’s appearance (a picture will suffice for canonical characters).
Personality – Your character’s personality in a few sentences.
Possible Reactions – How would your character respond to certain situations? How might they respond to other types of people?
-Example - Proto Man has entered the competition to seek glory and money to give back to his community. He would go out of his way not to hurt anyone, except in self-defense, and he would try his hardest not to betray people. On the other hand, Shang Tsung is out for his own glory and interests. He wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone he could, and he wouldn't think twice about using anything to his advantage.
Relationships – State any important friendships/rivalries you have with other contestants. Example - Guu and Gilgamesh fought each other in the past, so those two crossing paths would be something the audience would be keen on watching for.
‘Combat’ Style – Now by this I don’t mean a fighting style. I’m looking more at how your character will react if thrown into violent situations. Do they go fists flying? Will they retreat to find a better advantage? Will they be cowardly? Will they defend their allies above all?
Eligible Powers – List these, I will reference this over your Roster.
Moves – List your eligible moves (if you have any) AND put in a roster link to where I can find their descriptions. Also, BOLD moves that your character frequently uses (their ‘bread n’ butter’).
Extra – Anything you think I must know to properly write your character.
Quotes – List a quote or two your character has said or may say.
The point of this is not only to provide a quick run-down of your character but also to serve as an additional aide and point-of-reference for me when I write your character. As always, you should be ready to deal with foreign or alien situations. This is Dante’s Abyss. Anything can happen.
