Apps
Apps will open on April 10th.
Apps will remain open, except for when there is a game-encompassing mod plot (which will happen fairly infrequently).
Unfortunately, at this time, OCs cannot be apped. This includes tabletop characters, characters from fan-made spinoffs, and canon OCs.
Up to three versions of any given character will be accepted. This includes canon AUs and CRAUs. For example, you could have Zelda from Ocarina of Time, Zelda from Breath of the Wild, and Zelda from Breath of the Wild with memories from her time in Fade Rift. No more than one CRAU of any character will be allowed. Different canon points on the same timeline do not count as different versions of a character. What-if or fanon AUs are not accepted.
Characters with very little canon will be decided at the discretion of the mods based on the strength of the app. Generally, though, minor characters with small storylines are more likely to be accepted than minor characters with less than a minute of screen time, as the latter can essentially be an OC depending on player interpretation.
Most importantly, your character needs to be someone that CFP-DNR would have recruited and would have accepted said recruitment. Put some thought into how and why your character would become involved and function and what missions they would be best at. (To this end, most outwardly villainous characters would be difficult to app and play, as the government would have a hard time trusting them outside of extreme duress. Doctor Director Leonard Church might be actively recruited, and you might be able to get away with a Prince Lotor here, but nobody’s going to recruit the Joker. Additionally, the government will be hesitant to recruit a teenager but may do so based on their powers and/or skill set; they will absolutely not recruit a small child.)
Post your app in a comment below with the subject line “Application: [Character’s Name] | [Character’s Canon].” All apps will be screened when posted and will be unscreened upon acceptance. Revisions will not be unscreened unless they are later accepted, and denials will not be unscreened.
Please feel free to contact the mods if you have any questions pertaining to your app.
APPLICATION
Player name:
Plurk handle (or other contact if no plurk):
What other characters do you play?
Character name:
Canon:
OU or CRAU?
Canon point:
History: Please feel free to provide a link to your character’s wiki page or other linked history. For characters with very little canon, please write out a history fleshing out your character’s part in the story. For CRAU characters, please note at what point your character diverged from canon and what development they experienced.
Personality: Tell us what makes your character tick. Include internal motivations as well as external actions. (Please keep this section under 1000 words.)
Why did the CFP recruit them? CFP-DNR came to your character for a reason - tell us why. This is the place to talk about your character’s powers or special skills. Be sure to give the mods a good scope of what they’re capable of. Powered characters will come in with their full powers within reason; if your character is incredibly overpowered (think Gohan, Destroyer of Worlds) or has a power that could break the game (dimension hopping of their own, etc), then they may find their powers diminished or disabled. Use your best discretion and contact the mods if you have any questions; the mods may ask for revisions if we feel your character is too powerful for the setting.
Equipment: What is your character bringing with them? This can be their standard equipment; anything they would reasonably have on them. This cannot include overly large weaponry, vehicles, or live animals, with two exceptions: if the live animals are the reason your character was recruited (e.g. Pokemon trainers) or an integral part of your character’s abilities (e.g. Caleb and Frumpkin from Critical Role).
Samples: One of your samples should be written out and should be at least 100 words. You have the option of providing a link to a previous game for the other sample; said thread needs to be from within the past 3 months and needs to have at least 5 comments from your character.

- Malleable protagonists - protagonists from Skyrim and Pokemon, for example - do not count under Canon OCs and instead fall under the “very little canon” rule.
- The exception to tabletop characters is largely-known tabletop games, i.e. Critical Role, The Adventure Zone, Friends At the Table, etc. Essentially, you cannot play your own tabletop character - tabletop characters must be from canons widely accessible to the public.
Up to three versions of any given character will be accepted. This includes canon AUs and CRAUs. For example, you could have Zelda from Ocarina of Time, Zelda from Breath of the Wild, and Zelda from Breath of the Wild with memories from her time in Fade Rift.
