WFR Application Page

The Wiki Fiction Roleplay Character and Guild Member Application

For all applying WFR Guild Members




This page is continuously renovated and updated by [xido], and
all volunteering Official Guild Moderators



  The Wiki Fantasy Roleplay was created by Elftown members to be a group that would encourage and recommend advanced level, creative and original roleplaying with a focus on creative writing and networking with other interested fiction-lovers.

  Roleplaying can be a great pasttime and often requires some level of writing skill, personality mimicry (like acting a part), and a lot of creativity. The WFR, therefore, does not accept less than average roleplayers. With recent renovations, the Wiki Fantasy Roleplay, and its sister site, the Wiki Sci-Fi Roleplay, have merged to become one Guild, the

WIKI FICTION ROLEPLAY
An official Creative Writing and Storytelling Guild of Elftown

  The application process we use is a basic character description, which is a great way of showing your creativity and originality of concept, as well as your skill and style of writing. We understand that english is a secondary language for many people on Elftown, and will be sympathetic to your level of speech, but we still require proper spelling and grammar, and suggest that anyone use a spellcheck or word processor program with spell check and grammar check before posting the final product. If you have neither, and need help, a mod will be willing to help with basic structure and spelling, but this may take some time as all mods are volunteers on their own time, and your char app will not be accepted to its own page until it is finished. This is to ensure that your character is as neat and impressive as it can be before we go posting you on an advanced level guild. Key idea here: Patience. We will be patient with you, if you are patient with us. Thank you.

  We require a generous amount of information about your character. We want to be as informed as possible about the limits and powers of your persona, and how well it will fit into our campaigns. "We" are all roleplayers, creators of wikis settings and worlds, and other characters that may need to know you before they "know you". Just because your character is secretive about his limits and abilities in the game does not mean you can be vague and obtuse here and now.

  We like to see a lot of information about any various aspects of this persona as possible. Expand on any subject you feel stands out about this character, but please don't allow yourself to get too carried away with their chest size, beautiful features, and seductive personality and body shape. Chances are, you're not a very experienced roleplayer in that case, and your shining character will be mildly distraught the first time they get a battle scar or a backlashed spell. Tumbling down hills does not let your mascara stay very well.

  Similarly, a one-paragraph character description consisting of name, gender, age, hair colour, eye colour, and a two-line history will definitely NOT cut it.

  The following details MUST BE included in your character's description for us to consider it for acceptance into the guild:

  Character Name AND [YOUR USERNAME] or, for members coming in from outside Elftown, a way to contact you, for instance an e-mail
  Fiction Genre: (Fantasy, SciFi, Horror, Future Fantasy, Modern, HistoryFic, Creative FanFic/Mythos)
  Species/Race
  Gender
  Age
  Rank/Title/Social Caste
  Visible Physical Traits
  Detailed list of Personality traits and typical actions/decisions
  Full Historical Commentary

  You should make sure this includes a modest yet distinct description of their Appearance in at least one fluent, descriptive paragraph. This can include their wardrobe, eye colour, hair colour, skin tone, height, weight, how many freckles are on their left ear lobe... really, anything that comes to mind.

  Please include a detailed description of your character's Personality. Be as in-depth and descriptive as possible! Your character's personality reflects the way he or she acts, thinks, and it often affects and is affected by their history... which is also something you should include. An ALIGNMENT would be utterly grand! For info on alignments, message [xido] or ask any of our members!
Tell us about your character's history; don't take the easy way out by saying "John is very mysterious and does not reveal his past to anyone." John may not reveal his history, but you're not very good at keeping secrets. Other characters in the roleplay won't know, only the people behind the computer. Therefore it is required that you describe your characters history to us. ^.^

  I sound like such a slave-driver, but believe me, you will benefit from this.

  You may also include a picture of your character, but it will not be an adequate replacement for the appearance description, and it will not be considered in my decision of whether or not to accept you to the Wiki Fiction Roleplay Guild.

  (Please, when applying, try to keep in mind not to create a 'god-like' character. God-like characters are those that are unbeatable with no weaknesses and are claimed to be nearly perfect with select skills and are also said to be able to do anything. These characters tend to create a lot of conflict with other characters and are not appreciated by others in most roleplays.

  And also, please don't list in your character descriptions, try putting things into proper sentences with proper spelling and grammer. //[Leara])

Genre-specific information for new characters:

  For Fantasy Characters:
  For help with choosing a species or race, see the WFR Char RACE Page.

  For help with choosing an appropriate rank, title, class or social caste, please see the WFR Char RANK Page.

  For Science Fiction, Future Fantasy, Horror or Modern Roleplay Characters:
  For help with choosing a species or race, see the Sci-Fi Races Page.

  For help with choosing a social class, rank, title, profession, etc., see the Sci-Fi Ranks Page

  For FanFic or Mythos Roleplay Characters:
  Please be forewarned, that your character must not be a character from the story that you are interested in Role-Playing in or creating. Those characters are Intellectual Property of the authors, artists, producers and creators of those Fiction stories and media. See Copyright and Intellectual Property for more.

  That being said, the Wiki Fiction Roleplay will soon begin accepting creative, original Fan-Fiction wiki games and stories on two specific conditions:
1)  It is a creative, original, and professionally-created and referenced wiki, storyline, game or fan site.
2)  It must cite the 'Official' website, publication or similar resource of the original media, and have a proper APA Formatting bibliography somewhere on the page to be accepted. All FanFic wikis must be approved by [xido] only. All other websites referenced are optional, but they also need to be properly formatted to APA standards to be accepted. More to come on this by [xido].

  For World/Story/Game/Setting creators needing CREATURES:
  If you are a game or wiki moderator who is looking to make a beastie to battle for other characters, also see the

Creature_List by [Angel Dreamer]

For all your Beasties. For players and guild applicants, please stick to the most common playable races until you have entered the guild and want a secondary character.

  Also, see the Elftown Creature Contest Marathon, an official Elftown contest marathon!
