Character Application
Please post all applications in the Pending Applications board.
Work-in-progress (WIP) applications are permitted, but if they are not completed within two weeks, they will be deleted. We suggest that community members copy and paste the application form into a word processor and fill it out there instead of in-site, as pages sometimes refresh and progress could be lost. Remember to consult the information provided below when filling out applications. If you have any questions, just ask the staff. We are here to help!
We are currently accepting characters from the following franchises:
If your canon character’s continuity is not included in this list, feel free to ask one of the staff members if you can apply for them anyway. There is a great degree of flexibility in regards to canon characters that are not included in the main cast, and we welcome most characters from continuities not listed!
We are currently accepting characters from the following franchises:
- Transformers: War for Cybertron
- Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
- Transformers: Prime
- Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015)
- Transformers: Universe
- Transformers: Rescue Bots
- The Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye (IDW G1)
If your canon character’s continuity is not included in this list, feel free to ask one of the staff members if you can apply for them anyway. There is a great degree of flexibility in regards to canon characters that are not included in the main cast, and we welcome most characters from continuities not listed!
Note: While we have opened up multiple continuities to draw canon characters from, there are still some restrictions. Two characters may share the same name but not be carbon copies of each other. We will also be partial towards canon character hailing from the Aligned continuity family — which encompasses all of the franchises listed above except for IDW’s MTMTE — over their multiversal iterations.
Example Character Application
Player Alias: Here goes the name of your main OOC Alias account.
Character Name: Write the character’s name and which continuity they hail from in brackets.
Allegiance: Autobot? Decepticon? The Vanguard? Unaffiliated Neutral? Human? Other?
Appearance Description: Please provide a brief description of the character and/or include an image (we recommend describing them). Don’t forget to include an alternate mode, if applicable! Faceclaims for OCs should be stated here. Note that OCs cannot claim faces of canon characters from the Aligned continuity family.
Personality: Write at least two paragraphs summarising the personality and character traits of your character. Character traits should include both physical and mental traits. A list of character traits (both good and bad) may be found here.
Strengths + Weaknesses: Please list the strengths and weaknesses of your character in point or paragraph form, and summarize how they affect your character. This should include both physical and mental strengths and weaknesses. Aim for around two to three of each. A list of character flaws that members may find useful can be found here. We will be watching for unrealistic strengths and weaknesses, so ensure your character is well-balanced!
Abilities: Does your character have any special abilities or skills? If so, list them here.
Strengths + Weaknesses: Please list the strengths and weaknesses of your character in point or paragraph form, and summarize how they affect your character. This should include both physical and mental strengths and weaknesses. Aim for around two to three of each. A list of character flaws that members may find useful can be found here.

Abilities: Does your character have any special abilities or skills? If so, list them here.
Weaponry: What toys does your character have, if any? List them here.
History: Please provide a brief (at least two paragraphs) history of your character. Note that you may consult TFWiki or other such site for more information, but we expect you to at least paraphrase instead of downright copying and pasting. OCs must not be related to canon characters unless this has been discussed with all parties involved.
Roleplay/Writing Samples: Provide us with a sample of your roleplaying or writing (at least two paragraphs). This sample will not only provide us with a better idea of how your character works, but also gives us an idea of how you will play the character. We have come up with a few sample prompt ideas, but you are always welcome to come up with your own ideas as well. While other characters may be referenced, please note that your character should remain the main focus.
- Your character is on the battlefield and is being attacked by the other side. What do they do?
- Your character is a medic and they have to tend to a wounded patient. How is your character's bedside manner and what do they do to help the patient?
- What is your character's daily job like?
- The power has gone out at the base! What does your character do?
- What's something your character remembers best from their past?
