Changeling/Applications

Changeling Applications

This page is a supplement to the main Character Creation page, designed specifically to help with Changeling applications. If you are looking to app in as a Fae-Touched, Enchanted Mortal or Ensorcelled, please use the regular mortal questions with the appropriate additions below.

See the Changeling/Minor_Templates page for our definitions of the non-Changeling templates associated with the sphere. In essence, you are a human if you are not a Changeling.

As a Fae-Touched, you may be a human with the beginnings of fae attributes, but you are still a human. Your soul is still however intact you want it to be, albeit traumatized, no doubt. No Thorn-tattered remnants shredded and stitched together again with magical Superglue. Yet. It's a surety that the True Fae want you back...

Backgrounds

The following questions must be answered in your +bg during CG for you to be allowed out into the world. Changelings, you have a lot more work to do than mortals will.

Mortal Life

Answer both the 'Mortal Life' questions and the questions specific to your template below. You may mix/match and combine orders, write it up as a story or just answer them in bullet points. Staff is peachykeen as long as the data is there.

• Where/when were you born?
• How was your childhood/young adulthood? What were you like?
• What is your profession? How do you feel about it? If you are apping in to work for another player, please include this here.
• If you aren't a local to the Tamarack Falls/Fort Brunsett area, where are you staying right now? If your answer is "a hotel" you are probably in Fort Brunsett, though Tamarack Falls does have a tiny bed and breakfast, and many cabins to rent out in the woods.
• Do you have any family or close friends in the area?
• Why are you here now? This may relate to the question above.
• What are your hobbies? What do you do for fun? Taxidermist by day, gamer geek by night?
• Do you have any enemies? Anyone who would actively do Bad Things to you? Why? And...how do you feel about this?
• Have you had any brushes with magic/the supernatural? What happened? How do you feel about this?

Ensorcelled Mortals

• How long have you been ensorcelled?
• Who ensorcelled you?

Bear in mind, once you are ensorcelled, it is highly unlikely that Changelings will ever allow you to remain unpledged. Even if you beg for a pledge which closes your eyes to the fae world, no more ensorcellment, you will still need to be bound to secrecy.

• How do you feel about Changelings in general and your pledgemate specifically? Do you like it? Resent it? Fear it? Etc.

If you want to be ensorcelled to an NPC as part of your background, your NPC must have a name and at least a sketchy description of what s/he's like. The goal on staff's part is to phase people into being pledged to actual players, but we know that isn't always optimal.

Enchanted Mortals

• How were you enchanted? When? Were you kidnapped? Did you make an agreement you really regret?
• Who was your Keeper going to be? What was the realm like (if it isn't a staff-generated Keeper)?
• How did you escape? Were you on your own or did somebody help?
• What do you remember of it? Your memories of Arcadia will be very vague, and it's entirely possible you won't know what it was/will just remember it as a twisted nightmare or a really, really bad drug trip.
• How do you feel about Changelings in general and your ability to see them?
