Quincy Template

Quincy Applications


This section will be dedicated to those who wish to apply for a Quincy Character. There will be a step-by-step process in order to help you understand exactly what each section of the Application is for, and how to produce an acceptable overall Application.

Subject: Please use the Title as your Character's Name. If you are working on an application, and will not finish it in a single round, then place the notation: [WIP] next to your character's name. It may also be helpful for you to put the notation [Quincy] as well.

Subjects will be edited upon completion of acceptance to include the Race of your character, as well as its Power Tier.



Quincy Application


In Character


--------------------
General Information
--------------------

Name: Self explanatory. Please place the full name of your character. If you desire, you may place nick names here as well, but we're looking for a mandatory full name.

Age: Quincy generally live up to about a hundred and fifty years of age in the Bleach Universe, depending upon their spiritual energy. As such, you may feel free to insert the age of your character up to that maximum age.

Gender: Male or Female.

Appearance

Pictures are always helpful, but they should not be a replacement for appearance. A picture cannot tell how tall someone is in comparison, nor the weight. Still, things like this are not alone in this section. Use pictures as a guideline if you have to. Please refrain from making 'lists' in this section, we would prefer you to write out the actual appearance. You may, however, write out a preemptively, i.e., while it's still a WIP, in order to help you describe the general characteristics of your applicant.

Hair color, length, style, eye color, skin complexion, height, weight, body build, muscle mass; all things that are visual aspects should be included here. Do they wear glasses? Do they have accessories like earrings, bracelets, or necklaces? What style of clothing do they normally wear? So on and so forth. As above, this section should be roughly 2 to 3 paragraphs; five to seven sentences each.

Personality

A general explanation of your character's personality. Make sure you don't have contradicting aspects listed here, i.e., state that he or she is a 'rebel' but 'respects authority,' or hates violence but loves to fight. Such things tend to make no sense at all. The best route to go would be to stick to a single aspect, and elaborate. Dig deep; what truly brings your character out? Don't just give a general, bland description, we want you to truly develop your character's personality here. Explain what makes this character of yours more three dimensional. What pisses them off, what makes them laugh, what do they like, are they easily trusted, or do they trust easy? So on and so forth.

A lot of people have been making contradictions in their explanation of the personality, and I believe it's due to players wanting to put in too much into their character. Tone it down to about one to three aspects of a basic personality, then expand from there. This section should roughly be 1 to 2 paragraphs; five to seven sentences each.

History

Birth, parents, childhood, maturity/puberty, teenage years, adult life, schooling, friends, training, etc. Everything in terms of what goes on in one's life should be placed here. Key points, like the first time your character witnessed a spirit, or had their spiritual abilities discovered should be listed; key points in one's history and so forth. Important points in your character's life should certainly be placed here; sibling births, any sort of move from city to city, starting school, development of their Quincy Bow, and any special training they received as a Quincy.

All of this can be mentioned here. However, we do require a good lengthy history; FOUR paragraph minimum, of five sentence minimum each. That's twenty five sentences, at the bare minimum; fairly easy. Each paragraph can hold a key point in their lives; it's simple. First paragraph, describing parents, birth, and where they grew up. Second paragraph, childhood to teenage years. Third paragraph, discovery of spiritual awareness. Fourth paragraph, discovery of power. The fifth can be placed anywhere, and can hold key points in the character's life.

Skills

Powers
--------------------

Origin of Powers

This is a fairly brief 'History' portion of the application. While it may be repeated in History section, we want you to explain to us how your character acquired their abilities. Please explain in roughly one to two paragraphs how your character began developing their abilities. In the History section, you may simply reference this section rather than repeating yourself.

Quincy Cross

The bow's focal point is the Quincy cross, acting as the focus for a Quincy bow. The cross need not necessarily be in a cross shape, as Ryūken's cross is a pentacle. Uryū's first Quincy cross took the shape of a cross, but his recent one also takes the shape of a pentacle. In one paragraph, please describe your character's Quincy Cross.

Quincy Bow

All Quincies have the ability to create a unique spirit bow, and subsequently generate spirit arrows for the bow, using a Quincy cross or pentacle. The bow and arrows are both made up completely of spirit energy and sometimes pressure from the users surroundings, and last as long as the wielder's stamina and spirit energy reserves allow. In one paragraph, please describe your character's Quincy Bow.

Other Quincy Items

The Quincy possess numerous artifacts and equipment which help them in different ways. Please list any specific items your Quincy may carry on their person. Also be advised that the Sanrei Glove is a rare item that cannot be listed for new applicants.

--------------------
Abilities
--------------------

List of Quincy Abilities. Here, you may list three abilities at max. Remember that all powers for all characters must have a specific overall theme. Also note that all race applicants must also abide by the Powers section located in the next chapter. For all powers and abilities, please make a list format, similar to this:

Name of Ability

Description of Attack -
Type -
Range -
Limitation -


Remember to make a limitation of your power. Powers with no limiters will not be accepted, and will be asked for limitations to be placed.
