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: Harleen Quinzel, alias Harley Quinn
Canon: DC Comics / DC Animated (origin and personality are the same in both)
Reference Link: Wikipedia and DC Wikia

Character History: Harleen Quinzel grew up in Brooklyn with an unrepentant con artist father. When the time came for her to attend Gotham State University on a gymnastics scholarship, she decided to study psychiatry so she could understand why he treated his family the way he did. It was at GSU that she realized her attraction to extreme personalities and the fame associated with the costumed villains so prevalent in the city. Hoping for an early breakthrough career, she interned at Arkham Asylum and pressed for the chance at private sessions with its most notorious patient, the Joker.

However, instead of producing a miracle cure and writing bestselling books about him, he saw her for the easy mark she was and manipulated her into falling in love with him. Perhaps not even the Joker could have anticipated the depths of her loyalty to him. Going above and beyond his twisted call of duty, she dons a jester outfit and takes on his moniker for her, "Harley Quinn." The rechristened young doctor is firmly attached to him in a tumultuous on-again off-again relationship from then on as Gotham's clown princess of crime.

Personality: Harley is a high-energy, laugh a minute, hurricane of good cheer and general destruction. Her emotions can change at the drop of a hat and swing between extremes, but tend to stay positive. If she's on your side she can be fiercely and unquestionably loyal, often at great personal risk. If she's not, well, look out. Her playful and zany act can hide how deeply, deeply crazy she actually is. She'd call a nuclear bomb a funny little joke, as long as she wasn't caught in the explosion. And hey, what's a little good-natured torture and terrorism between friends?

Harley is more than willing to go to extreme and dangerous measures if she feels cornered. Or if someone tells her to. Or, heck, if she's feeling a little bored and maybe it would be funny. Above all else, Harley needs to stay entertained because if she starts getting ideas of her own then there's no telling what lengths she'll go to for a little fun. Even the great Batman has trouble predicting this dizzy dame.

Writing Sample:
01. If given a choice, what would you like to be called?
Harley Quinn! Duh.

02. Do you require socks to be part of your uniform?
Well, that depends on a few things, doesn't it? Like, are the floors carpeted or nice and smooth and good for sliding on? Because if it's smooth then yes. Yes, I need socks. Whoosh! Slip! Slide! Wheeee!

But if there are carpets then obviously I ain't gonna need socks because then you just get static buildup and I'd be shocking everything I touch and zapping the crap out of people and oh my gosh no I changed my mind. Zapping people sounds hilarious. I need to do that.

So yeah, I am definitely pro-sock.

03. Not including mandatory periods of silence, what is the longest you have gone without talking?
Does humming count as talking? What about whistling? Or chewing gum? 'Cause if they don't count then I can be quiet for so long, but if they do count then I guess the answer is … Never? Pretty much never. Oh! Oh, wait! Sometimes I'm sleeping! So however long I'm sleeping, that's how long I'm not talking. … Wait, does snoring count?

04. Are you plagued by suspicions that other people, including coworkers and relatives, may be doing things behind your back that will hurt you?
Hahaha, what? No way! Why would they do that? Those guys are my friends, and they know I'd beat the crap out of 'em if they tried anything.

05. Other than a large egret, what wild animal would you like to domesticate?
Hyenas! Geez, that's the easiest question ever. They're so smart and cuddly and have a great sense of humor. Did you know you can train them to eat people?

06. Are you functionally incapacitated by witnessing other people's misery?
Only if I'm laughing too hard.

07. What is your favorite flatware for, purely as an example, eating cake?
Are we getting philosophical here, or maybe it's some new kind of psychological profiling test? Maybe there's something in the cake, like a knife or a file! Y'know, those are surprisingly unhelpful for breaking out of prisons. Just hypothetically speaking, of course, not that I've tried either. Sneaking out with the laundry doesn't work either. It's like movies have been lying to me this whole time! … Wait, what was the question again? I forgot. Oh right. Fork.

08. Do you trust yourself?
Sure! Somebody has to, and it might as well be me!

09. Please list a crime that only you would know that you have committed.
I, uh. Um. Well, I guess there was this one thing-- Hey, wait a minute. I know this trick! Where's a lawyer when you need one?

10. If you disappeared tomorrow would anyone miss you?
They'd darn well better!
