[A] Application :: Sohma Kagura

[Deleted]

Name: Ushio
Age: 15
Character Applying For? Sohma Kagura

Why would you like to play this character?

I think that I can really relate to Kagura. (Having a sweet side and a harsh side.) Throughout the series, Kagura has been my favorite character. I was also born in the year of the boar. On top of that, I'm in love with Kyo! (Although I would let Tohru-chan have him. ^_^)

Why should we pick you, instead of another applicant?

I've been role playing for about 4 years and I've done a Furuba role play before. I've played as Kagura in many role plays, and most people whom I've rp-ed with were satisfied with how I portrayed her.

How would you portray this character if you were given the opportunity to do so? [Such as mannerisms, personality, etc]

I'd bring somewhat of a sweeter side out of Kagura and only have her harsh only when absolutely necessary.

What roleplaying experience do you have, if any? If you don't, what do you think makes a good roleplayer?

I've been role playing for about 4 years(like said above) and I've done many different kinds of rp.

How far have you read the manga? I've read the whole series~!
How much of the anime have you seen, if any? Most of it, then I lost track of where I was and just read the Manga instead.
What spoilers have you seen/read, if any? I've read the whole manga so most I'm thinking.
How often would you be able to roleplay, on a general basis? Almost everyday, depending on school and such.

Roleplay Sample:

She sat on her bed quietly staring out the window. All around her there were cat stuff animals. She thought of Kyo and smiled to herself lightly. she turned onto her side reaching for her I-Pod. Her hand froze and looked outside. A small kitten was in a tree, almost staring at her. She walked to the window and opened it, reaching out. Oh how she wished it was her Kyo-kun. She wished that Kyo was there with her, she didn’t even care if he was mad at her. He could even ignore her as long as he was in the same room as her.

Her eyes shot to the photo of everyone. She walked over to it picking it up. Tohru smiling like always, Kyo and Yuki glaring at each other, then herself. The boar. She felt so different from them. They all seem so much more important in their family. She wanted to see them. She wanted to see Kyo. She even want to see Tohru. She wanted to be with them, everyday. She decided that tomorrow she would wait for them after school. She’d go see them, and Shigure-nii. They could have tea and Tohru could make them treats! She fell back onto her bed with a long sigh. She wouldn’t go. She wouldn’t go the next day ether, or the day after that. She would never go see them. Not till Kyo was ready to see her again.

She must have falling asleep some time after that. She awoke to her cellphone ringing. She moved slightly and opened her phone. It was a text message from Rin.

“Since when did Rin-chan get a cellphone?” She said out loud to herself.

She read the message over and over till she understood. She put her phone down and stood. Maybe she’d go see him, just to get a peek. She put on her jacket and grabbed her cat backpack, running downstairs. She pulled on her shoes.

Calling out to her mother, “Mom! I’m going out for a bit!” she ran out before her mother could object.

She stood behind a tree waiting for Kyo to walk past. Her heart pounded violently in her chest. Then she saw his orange hair before she saw his face. A blush arose to her face and she covered her mouth so she didn’t speak. He was laughing, Tohru walking next to him. Her heart hurt somewhat. Tears filled the brim of her eyes and she fell to her knees, her hands covering her face.

“Oh Kyo-kun. Why must you be so cruel.” she whispered, tears falling onto the ground and blurring her vision.

KyoXKagura=love!
**Sorry if it was kinda bad. But Kyo and Kagura are my favorite couple ^_^**

Thank you for your application. =] It is very promising, with two notes. One, you are missing something important at the end of your application. Please read the forum rules again, and find out what it is. Second, could you edit your sample for third person? =] I know I hadn't specified this in the rules, and that is my fault, but I shall go do so. This is for forum uniformity.

Also, as per forum rules, please use a non-canon display name until I've decided whether to approve your application or not. =]

Do that, let me know, and I will review your ap again. Thanks again for applying!

I updated it and fixed it up. ^_^ Thanks

May I ask why you changed the posting form? =X Not a huge deal since you did it the first time, but in the future, please use it. I've got some poor eyes, and the template helps me to be able to read things without the words running together.

The only thing I have to say in your sample is to try and vary the number of times you say "she". Try to come up with descriptive phrases, like "the boar of the zodiac", "the inoshishi", "the brunette", "the young girl".... or you could even start with something else, like "caramel eyes blinked as she..." or a combination of the two.

Other than that, this post is ACCEPTED. =] I'll go ahead and fix the formatting for you. =3 Feel free to grab a face claim and change your name, and I'll add your application to the list of taken characters. The next step is to create a character roster page. =]

Welcome aboard!
