CONTACT/TEAM PREFERENCES

A comment separate from your app with your name, email, and team preferences. Making it a separate comment lets us keep it screened, thus keeping your team preferences private.

For the time zone field, feel free to make a note if working bizarre hours makes you effectively on a different time zone than stated.

"Team preferences" is a catch-all field for any thoughts you might have regarding your character's placement. For example, you might want a team that will put up with your character's sociopathy, or has a certain "feel" to it, or is friendly to your time zone, or maybe you don't think your character looks good in orange, and so on! This is also the spot to let us know if there are teams you DON'T want to be on. While you're not required to put anything here, don't say you have no preference unless you really, honestly have NOTHING to say on the subject! If you've already apped and realized you'd forgotten something? Make another comment!

Character Name: "The Prince"
Canon: Prince of Persia (2008)
Reference Link: Wiki Link

Character History: Adventurer and rogue, going after riches, wealth, and ladies in whatever way he can the Prince has a mysterious past, very avoidant of revealing details other than his early childhood. His parents left him with another as they went to fight for 'somebody else's problems' and then never returned. He presumably left to fight 'for himself' as soon as he was able, and had seemingly done well for himself, in a Han Solo 'rich but always poor' kind of way. He's recently been swept into a grand turmoil with his world in danger from the ultimately dark Ahriman, something he believed to be a bogey man, but was all too real. He's also a little responsible for preventing it being sealed properly, too.

Personality: The Prince is a selfish, unrepentant jerk who really only cares about himself and those in front of him, and not always the latter. He's not a bad guy- he's always willing to talk things out and not resort to violence, but he's also not so good that he can't defend himself either. He's a bit of a smartass as well, having a quip or two up his sleeves at any given time, and has a hard time ever shutting up. He's not exactly stoic, but he'd much rather talk about you than him, never really opening himself up to anyone no matter how much he cares for them. Once you've managed to get him on your side however, he'll be incredibly loyal, acting on your behalf even if you don't want him to- especially if you don't want him to.

Writing Sample:

01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
I dunno, I always thought a name is something someone else gave you. I've no real attachment to mine, call me whatever you want. Well, within reason.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
Socks? Not sure what you're talking about there, but I've never been one for uniforms. They're too samey, but that's the point isn't it? They can help you blend into a crowd though, in the right situations.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Well, I think I've talked in my sleep before too, so... that's a hard one. The world is just full of good listeners, you know? Especially when you've got a story to tell, and a cup to jingle that sure could use filling. I'm not too fond of it but not every day is one filled with adventure and treasure galore.

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
I pretty much work on the assumption that they are. Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised that I'm wrong. Not as much as I'd like.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
I've heard stories of large lizards with giant wingspans, able to breathe fire. One of those would work nicely. I can't think of a single situation in which having one WOULDN'T be a boon. Well maybe one, I bet they're hard to keep fed. I wouldn't envy anyone going after me, if I'm riding one of those things. Escape time could ALSO be feeding time.

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Why should I be? It's not my problem, and if it was, I'd be doing something about it.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
A good dagger is pretty functional for that kind of thing. Never try cutting sweets with a sword unless you've made a good show that's it's clean. That kind of thing gets you kicked out of places when you were just trying to impress.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Only person I can. I can't imagine anyone being my business partner if I couldn't even trust myself. I mean, if they're going to be taken for everything they're worth, I really want to make sure that was what I intended all along, and I'm not some sort of collateral damage.

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
Isn't that self-incriminating? Why would I ever do something like that? No seriously, is there a good reason?

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
Of course- there's... wait. Oh, maybe...? No. I screwed that one up. Wow, this is kind of enlightening, not a single person? I really need to work on my people skills. Or at least my 'leaving- before-they-cut-all-ties-from-me' skills.
