THE BASICS
Name:// What is your character’s full name?
Nicknames & Aliases:// Does your character have any nicknames and/or aliases he/she goes by?
Sex:// Is the character male or female?
Birthday:// Month, day, and year please.
Age:// Make sure it doesn’t conflict with the character’s above-listed birthday and the current RP month.
Sexuality:// Straight, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, etc.
Nationality:// English, German, French, American, etc.
Allegiance:// Axis, Allies, or Neutral.
Occupation & Position:// What is your character’s occupation? If they are in the military or a paramilitary unit, list their branch and rank ( for example, Hans Landa is a SD colonel [or SD Standartenführer as this rank would be called in German], and Aldo Raine is a 1st Special Service Force first lieutenant.) If your character has a regular civilian job, simply list the name of the place they work ( or who they work for ) and what position they hold there ( ie; clerk, manager, financial consultant, etc. ). If your character is unemployed, state this.
Languages Known:// List all languages your character speaks. Directly following each language, put a tag in parentheses describing their skill level in that language. The 5 tags for skill level are as follows: Beginner, Functional, Advanced, Fluent, and Native-Speaker. It is quite alright if your character only speaks one language well regardless of their nationality, though keep in mind that Europeans are more likely to be functional in other languages than Americans, especially in this time period.
Religion:// Atheist, Christian, Jew, agnostic, spiritual but not religious…you may put any conceivable religious/spiritual view down here.

(( You must have a minimum of 3 weaknesses. ))
BACKGROUND
History:// (( 500-word bare-minimum. )) Tell us a little bit about your character’s history. Start with their birth and travel forward in chronology until you reach the RP’s present date. You don’t have to go into much detail about their childhood unless you want to or find that you need to; the most important things to include here are any major turning points in your character’s life that greatly influenced the type of person they became by the time of the RP. You’ll definitely want to include things like any great achievements of theirs, any discoveries they made or experiences they had that altered their perceptions about the world and/or people, how they developed the skills they currently have ( especially if they are really good at anything ), and definitely anything traumatic that may have happened to them. Also, anything else of interest.
Play-by:// Check the taken faceclaim list first to make sure yours is still available!
Sample Post:// You have two choices for this. You can either write your sample post up now and turn in your application, OR you can opt to wait until you have already been accepted and use the first post of your first thread for your sample post ( Never fear! You can swap-out sample posts anytime you want and don’t have to stick with the first thing you write. ^^ ). The purpose of the sample post is to showcase your writing to prospective thread partners — I will accept apps without sample posts as your writing in the previous sections will clue me in as to your literacy and characterization, but you need to put something here first chance you get. (( Note: If you decide to go with the second option, make a note of that here so we are on the same page. ^^ ))
Anything else you'd like us to know?:// ( Put whatever you want here, or erase this part. Don't forget to PM me the 3 secret words! ).
________________________________________________
Here is the code for the app. If you've never filled one of these out before, never fear! All you have to do is copy/paste the code, erase all the descriptions encased in italics tags, and fill it in with your own information while leaving everything else as-is ( unless you need to add or subtract bulletpoint headers from some of the list sections ).
