The Walls of Equestria - Applications
Introduction
“On that day, the Equestrian Race received a grim reminder. We lived in the fear of the Titans, and were disgraced to live in these cages we called walls.”
For well over a century, the remnants of the once powerful Equestrians have lived behind the walls of a fortified city made to protect them from a race of pony devouring giants called Titans. For more than one-hundred years, both the Equestrians and the Titans have been in a deadlock between each other’s whims. For one the Titans are unable to reach their prey behind the huge walls they have built, and the Equestrians want to find out how to destroy the Titans, but every attempt to war with them ends in disaster.
Until one day when the illusory peace is broken. That day is where the story begins, where select individuals find reason to fight the Titans, be it for vengeance, honor or for what is right.
Demographic
This roleplay will appeal primarily to advanced roleplayers, but it is also open to the casual bunch, because there is no strain on quality as long as we can all manage at least a paragraph of writing per post.
In terms of age, there will be gore present, so do not say I did not warn you beforehand. Any age can join as long as they understand what to expect.
Before you apply
1) Please check the roleplaying rules here.
2) Scenario changes are only given or permissible through the GM (roleplay leader, or game-master if you prefer). Not to worry, I will be an active part of this roleplay so expect plenty of interesting scenarios.
3) The "Currently Disclosable Information" feature is something from Attack on Titan that is used as a way for sharing new parts of the anime. It is used by me to share the lore with players at a steady pace. All CDI will be posted in a specific area for all players to look at in reference. Only the GM can detail the Currently Disclosable Information.
4) Do not "control" other characters besides your own. It is simple: would you like it if somebody posted a paragraph that provides actions for your character? No is the answer.
5) It does not have to be detailed, but please write at least a paragraph when it is your turn to act in the roleplay. It is so that we have more knowledge of your character, even if not detailed heavily.
6) Have fun! I intend to involve every person who wishes to take part, to the best of my abilities. Do not feel shy to discuss your involvement in the role-play with other players or me in the discussions thread.
A thing you should know - The Survey Corps
All characters will later on in the roleplay be a part of the faction known as the "Survey Corps", but first we will start out as civilians. Please design your applications like you are not a part of the Survey Corps yet. The Survey Corps is a well trained team of individuals, from the Attack on Titan story, who have tasks that take them past the walls and out, into titan territory. What is the big deal with joining this faction? Well, for several reasons, the first of which being that it keeps us all together so that communication is improved. The second reason is that we can use this faction in reference to ourselves whenever/if ever we do a server-side roleplay.

My application: an example of what I would expect
Survey Corps Application
Forename(s): Fleetfire
Surname: Icaria
Age: 19
Gender: Mare
Race: Pegasus
Physical Appearance:
Fleetfire’s orange mane and tail are both loose and long, with slight variations of the color. Her blue body is lean and strong, capable of undertaking arduous tasks. Despite her strength, she is not too heavily built in terms of muscle. Her Cutie Mark is a symbol of survival: celestial wings coming out of red flame. [Picture by Engela]

Special Skills: In correspondence to her Cutie Mark, Fleetfire has a remarkable talent for survival. Most of her skills are honed around living in and through harsh scenarios. Fleetfire has also trained herself in flight to a practical extent. She is talented with a crossbow, and can hit a moving target from a hundred yards.
About: Fleetfire spends a lot of her time exploring the forests and lakes that are enclosed by the walls. In these places was where she first learned the tactics of survival. Fleetfire is very intent on studying the natural laws of the world, often-times taking with her a journal wherein she keeps strange drawings of things often unseen. With help from a troubled early life, Fleetfire’s demeanour is one of heightened suspicion when she meets new individuals.
She often dreams of living beyond the threshold of normality, past the walls that hold everyone in like sheep to a pen. As such, it seems fitting to mention Fleetfire’s other hobby. She likes to read, and it is her dreams that originate from the oldest scripts in Equestria. Volumes that hold details to what the outside world truly is like. She wants that freedom, and she is willing to fight for it.

Now that pretty much sums it up. Please take time to read through everything to make certain that you understand everything. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I will soon be setting up the Roleplaying and Discussions threads for this.
