Interested parties who think they'd like to give Hounding The Moon a chance are always welcome. We ask that prior to submitting any character applications, you first read the game's list of rules and walk through the site to better educate yourself. Questions are gladly listened to, and while we suggest that any are sent to the game's message boards, they may also be e-mailed or IMed to the mods (please see the contact page).
Once an application has been written and is completed, it may be submitted to the game's message board. Please be aware that other players will review these applications and will potentially leave suggestions for character refinement before an application may be accepted. Reviews may take up to three days to be posted due to schedules conflicts. Do not implement changes to your application prior to receiving reviews from both moderators. Once an application has received unanimous approval from both mods, you'll be welcomed to the game.
Please see the boards for temporary character caps or restrictions!

How did you find HTM?:
Character Name:
Character Avatar: (Ex: For the Rat King, this would be Naveen Andrews.)
Date & Place of Birth:
Character Type: (If they are a lycanthrope, are they rodere, lukoi, etc.? If they are a human, say so. If you are unsure, consult the mods. A witch, for example, would still be human.)
Character Occupation & Skills: (These two are tied together because the latter tends to relate to the former. Make a point of listing anything significant. If your character can tie a cherry stem into a knot with his tongue, we probably don't need to know this. However, if they're an accountant who has their yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do, that'd be nice to know.)
Abilities: (Specific to preternaturals or those who somehow consort with these things, such as vargamors.)
Appearance: (Give us a general run-down of what your character looks like, and let us know if there is something about your character that differs from the avatar you have chosen for them. Ex: Maybe your character changes their hair color on a weekly basis, or has elongated canine teeth from spending too much time as a wolf. Otherwise, we want to see a detailed description of what they look like when they turn into their more animalistic self.)
Personality & History: (Self-explanatory. This is a test of your writing skills. Please try to tie the two together as best as possible.)
Plot Potential: (Tell us about what kind of stories your character can introduce or be involved in. How do you feel they'd best fit into the game? If you're unsure, contact the moderators -- either would be happy to work with any questions.)
