APPLICATIONS


PLAYERS: 46 / 70
(please note that this count is only updated when apps begin; the taken page is the most up-to-date list.)

canons at cap: N/A
canons approaching cap: marvel (6/7)

Applications are currently CLOSED.
In the Night's application system operates every other month. They will next open on May 22 at 12:01 AM EST!

•••
Hello, and welcome to In the Night! We're excited to have you, but before you apply, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the following:

• Make sure you look over the premise, rules, and FAQ pages.


• Be sure to check the taken page to make sure the character you want to app is not already spoken for.


• Current players apping second/third characters may app at any time during the application period, as they already occupy player slots.


• Applications will no longer be screened, but in the event that we receive more apps than we have available player slots, we'll inform the players that didn't quite make the cut-off. They'll be able to re-app in a future app cycle without consequence.


• App cycles begin at the end of the month, with applications always opening on the 22nd. Please check the calendar for exact dates. Judgments and questions will be handed out once applications close, and new characters will arrive in the game on the first day of the following month.


• There is currently a total game cap of 70 players, and a cast cap of 7 characters per cast. Each player may play a maximum of 3 characters.


• You are limited to 1 app per player per month.


• In the Night does not have a reserve period and there are no app challenges.


• We do accept proxy apps! If you won't be around when applications open, you're welcome to have a friend submit the app for you. As we ask that apps be written in separate journal entries and linked to this page, this should be as simple as dropping a link! We only ask that your friend include a note in the comment that it's a proxy application, just in case we need to contact you before the app is processed.

Application instructions/process:

• Make sure you fill out the application completely.


• The only section you are exempt from is the CRAU section, provided you are not playing a CRAU character.


• You are free to rearrange the sections of the app if you wish (everything under the world description, that is).


• You may provide links to wiki pages for the history and world sections, but if these are not informative enough, you may be asked to do a small write-up of your own.


• When posting apps, please post them to your character's journal and link them in the comments below. All comments on this page are initially unscreened, but you may lock your app to only be visible to the mod journal (@inthenightmods) if you wish. If you aren't sure how to do this, let us know and we'll walk you through it!


• The subject line should contain Name | Canon | New Player/Current Player.


• We require both log and network samples. One of these samples must be from our game's TDM, and one must be a thread with replies. One thread can meet both qualifications.


• We do not ask for revisions, we simply ask questions. Think of it as more of a dialogue than a correction. We may ask for clarification on certain points or ask for more information, but we generally won't ask you to change something.


• If you receive questions on your app, you must respond within 48 hours. Failure to do so will result in a rejection.


• If you want examples, please see the mod characters and sample apps in the comments.


• If you post your app after the player slots have been filled, we will keep you in a temporary queue to fill any player slots that become available between apps opening and our activity check closing, which happens at midnight on the last day of the month. In this event, we will contact you directly!


• The application (with guidelines) is in the box below:

<span style="font-size: 24px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'Helvetica', sans-serif;">PLAYER INFO</span> <blockquote><b>Player Name:</b> <b>Player Contact:</b> <b>Character(s) In-Game:</b> </blockquote> <span style="font-size: 24px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'Helvetica', sans-serif;">CHARACTER INFO</span> <blockquote><b>Character Name:</b> (Include aliases if they will be used in-game. For consistency's sake, please use the Western format of given name followed by surname.) <b>Age:</b> (Include how old they look if they are immortal or involved in other time shenanigans.) <b>Canon:</b> <br /><b>World Description:</b> (A wiki link is fine in the case of canon characters. For original characters, stick to 1-2 paragraphs.) <br /><b>History:</b> (Again, a wiki link is fine for canon characters. With original characters, try to stick to 1-2 paragraphs.) <br /><b>CRAU:</b> (You may delete this line or put NA if not playing CRAU. If you are playing CRAU, please describe your character's time in their other game, and how it changed or affected them. Remember that you may not stack more than one game's worth of CRAU.) <br /><b>Death:</b> (Briefly describe how your character died. If your character dies in canon and this is already included in the history section, then a few words will suffice.) <br /><b>What are your plans for this character in-game?</b> (These don't have to be concrete, and you're not locked into these ideas, but we at least encourage players to give this some thought. This could be your plans for character development, any plots your character may want to be involved with, etc. There are no wrong answers here, including "I'm not sure". We're more interested in your thought process.) <br /><b>What aspects of this game and/or its setting are you most interested in having this character engage with?</b> (Again, no wrong answers here. Consider this a little survey for mod purposes.) <br /><b>How does your character generally get along with other people?</b> (Note that characters who don't get along with people aren't going to be automatically rejected for it. We're simply encouraging applicants to think about how their characters will fare in a social situation.) <br /><b>What is your character's mental state upon entering the game?</b> (This could be related to their death, the canon they left behind, suddenly arriving in Beacon, etc.) <br /><b>Skills/Abilities:</b> (Some powers may require nerfing. Please see the FAQ for more information.) <br /><b>Flaws/Weaknesses:</b> (Please include not only personality flaws and physical weaknesses, but any phobias your character might have, and any people in their life that would count as a weakness. This information may be used for events.) <br /><b>Personality:</b> (Once again, 1-2 paragraphs will suffice. This section should simply cover the basics, and anything you feel is important that was not covered by the questions above. What sort of things do you keep in mind while playing this character? That's the stuff we're looking for.) <br /><b>Items:</b> (Remember that your character can only take what was on their person at the time of their death. Magic items may require nerfing, and all items/clothing will be in the condition they were in at death.)</blockquote> <span style="font-size: 24px; color: #000000; font-family: 'Century Gothic', 'Helvetica', sans-serif;">SAMPLES</span> <blockquote><b>Log Sample:</b> <a href="LINK">Link</a> <b>Network Sample:</b> <a href="LINK">Link</a> </blockquote>

SAMPLE APP - Will Ingram | Original | NPC

[donttalktome]

U G H

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• You mentioned that Will is more difficult to deal with than other NPCs and usually requests payment for his services. Could you tell us more about what sort of "costs" come with asking for his help?


• Here's a hypothetical: Character X is similarly self-centered and mean, and they go to Will to request a service that only he can provide (app development, let's say). Character X gets angry when they inevitably butt heads with Will. Would this bad experience prevent Will from ever working with or helping this character in the future? Or would he be open to some form of reconciliation?

Please respond to this comment with your answers! You'll have 48 hours to do so before your app is automatically rejected.

Keep in mind also that our asking for clarification/elaboration is not indicative of an incomplete or poorly-written app; we just want to know a little more about your character. As with the app, we ask that you keep your answers concise. Thank you!

fortune favors the brave, dude.

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• You mention that the setting is very "Anti-Newt", but that you think he will nonetheless thrive in it. You explained why from an RP standpoint, but ICly, how do you think Newt will deal with the change? Do you think he'll able to ultimately recover from it?


• You mention that Newt is arrogant and highly intelligent. How does he deal when confronted with new information, or even information that contradicts his current knowledge?

SAMPLE APP: Mary | Ib | Reserved

[withsadness]

how would you like to be friends forever and ever?

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• With Mary being so young, how do you think she'll fare in the setting in terms of independence? Will she be able to take care of herself? (Also, just to clarify, if she'll have trouble caring for herself, that doesn't necessarily mean we won't welcome her into the game! We're more curious in how you plan to address that lack of independence if it's going to be a thing.)


• How do you think Mary would deal, on a long-term basis, with the fact that this world may not contain the things she's searching for, such as friends her age? How do you think she will fare in a place so similar to the one she's just escaped? (No sunshine, few people, etc.)

SAMPLE APP: Rosalind Lutece | Bioshock Infinite | Reserved

[originallutece]

i could put literally any hozier lyric and it'd sound deep right here

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• In the "skills/abilities" section, you said that Rosalind is just a normal human, albeit a genius. What are her more "mundane" (ie, not supernatural) abilities? For example, what are her scientific specialties?


• If Rosalind dies during Fink's sabotage of her equipment, this would mean that a majority of Rosalind's canon appearance would occur after this canonpoint you've chosen for her. Do you imagine this would contribute to any differences between her in canon versus her in this game? Other than the differences you've already listed, that is.

SAMPLE APP: Pikachu | Detective Pikachu | Reserved

They try and talk to me all the time, all they hear is "Pika Pika"

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• We'd like to know a bit more about Pikachu's special abilities, specifically in regards to how you intend for these abilities to work in game. For example, do the abilities just do damage or would Pikachu be able to use them in other ways, such as to power a machine?


• Although Pikachu skips this part of the movie as per his canonpoint, would it ever be possible for him to realize his true identity in this game? Either through his own realization or through something like an in-game event. If it's something you would be interested in addressing in an event, we'll file that away for future reference...

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• What is the nature of arc energy? Is it magic, some kind of alien energy source, or something else?


• We appreciate you taking the initiative to nerf Daylight's abilities! We'd like to further suggest a bit of nerfing to his force field generation ability, though. Specifically, we're interested in altering it so that Daylight and others with him wouldn't be too impervious to things like risks that might come up during an exploration. We're fine with letting him have the shield so long as its not able to be used too frequently and/or can't hold off a barrage of attacks for an indefinite amount of time. Would you be alright with limiting this ability? If so, we're happy to let you determine the exact restraints. (It sounds like you already had something in mind re: the ability wearing him out like it did with his mother, which would be fine with us!)

Why, oh, why am I suddenly craving a cheese sandwich?

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• Would you mind elaborating a bit on Ambrose's astral projection ability? Specifically, we're wondering how "tangible" his astral projected form will be. How much is he able to do/observe/move while astral projecting?


• We're happy to let Ambrose retain his teleportation ability as well, but we'd like to limit it just a touch to comply with our teleportation rules on the FAQ: "Teleportation (and similar) will be limited to shorter distances, either within the unlocked map or within line of sight of the locations inside it. So you can still teleport, but you can only go as far as you'd still be able to see some part of the town." Would that be alright with you?

may your heart be your guiding key ♥

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• Could you elaborate a bit as to how Sora dies? We get the impression that his life force just sort of snuffs out as he "fades away", but we want to be sure we're on the same page.


• How do you envision Sora's "heart power" working in this game?


• Regarding Sora's Keyblade's ability to lock/unlock things, how would you feel about this: For other Keyblade wielders, we've determined that the Keyblade can lock/unlock any sort of mechanical lock that could reasonably be picked, and any magical/more durable locks would be something we'd need to discuss based on the circumstances. Does that sound alright to you?

[evulsed]

❝ What I am is darkness. ❞

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• Is Vanitas capable of feeling other emotions besides the ones he was "created" from? Is it possible for him to change, or is he stuck the way he is?


• On that note, what sort of "role" do you envision for him in this game? For example, will he be open to working with others to solve the mystery of the darkness, or is he more likely to stick with his antagonistic nature? (Worth noting just because this sounds like a loaded question: There's no wrong answer here. We're just curious!)


• As far as nerfs go: Generally toning down Vanitas's abilities sounds fine to us, and Dark Corridors can count as a teleportation ability, which would allow him to create portals to anywhere on the discovered map. If he wants to travel outside of the discovered map, he can use his teleportation to do this, but it will count as an exploration and he'll be subject to consequences therein. And for other Keyblade wielders, we've determined that the Keyblade can lock/unlock any sort of mechanical lock that could reasonably be picked, and any magical/more durable locks would be something we'd need to discuss based on the circumstances. Do these alterations work for you?

Please respond to this comment with your answers! You'll have 48 hours to do so before your app is automatically rejected.

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• What does it take to bring out Cao Pi's softer side? Do you see him being able to make emotional connections with other characters?


• How does Cao Pi get along with other leaders? In particular, we're wondering how he'll function as a team player when it comes to plot, exploring, etc. Is he more likely to try to lead and have his own agenda, or is he open to working with others if they're trying to accomplish the same goal?

Please respond to this comment with your answers! You'll have 48 hours to do so before your app is automatically rejected.

Keep in mind also that our asking for clarification/elaboration is not indicative of an incomplete or poorly-written app; we just want to know a little more about your character. As with the app, we ask that you keep your answers concise. Thank you!

[inthenightmods]

Hello and thank you for your interest in In the Night! Before we make a decision regarding your app, we'd like to ask some follow-up questions.

• You mention that your plans for Ignis in game involve exploring who he is as an individual now that his identity doesn't have to revolve around Noctis. We're looking forward to that! Could you elaborate a bit on how you think that process will go, or what particular aspects of his character you'd like him to realize?


• Your suggested nerfs sound just fine to us, however we'd like to let you know that you don't need to nerf anything besides the healing power and anything that might cast light. If you'd like to keep these nerfs, you're welcome to do so, but we're fine with Ignis keeping his elemental grenades, his lightning ability that allows him to move quickly between enemies, and his elemental enhancement ability. He can also keep his daggers! Does all of this sound alright to you?
