Another Mask Behind You

by JediKnightoftheRougeSquadron

1. Application

REALLY IMPORTANT! Submit applications through PMing, please.

Keep in mind that I will need plenty of OCs in order for this story to work. Guys will desperately needed, as there seems to never be any shortage of girl OCs in the Phantom phandom, but we are sorely lacking in guys. I'm not really sure how well this will work out. You may submit multiple OCs.

Name:

Age:

Ethnicity (Ancestry):

Body type (ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph):

Personality:

Flaws (the more, the merrier):

Family:

Appearance (hair, face, clothing, you name it):

Would your character be interested in a romance:

If so, what kind of person would their romantic partner be:

Anything else that you can possibly think of that I will need to know:

I am expecting quality original characters here, people, and any Mary Sues or Gary Stus shall be ignored. Regarding training for professions *coughcough* ballerinas and singers *coughcough* I WILL expect training included in history. Those lungs/legs don't develop themselves overnight. And for goodness' sake, please don't give your character a tragic sobstory past. This will not encourage me to pick your characters, and while I will not disregard them, think twice before submitting your character. I'm being serious here. I will probably write within the "world" of ALWverse, as I am most comfortable with my knowledge of that verse, and so it will be using the events of ALW's Phantom. Although it will may contain certain characters from the book as well such as Phillipe de Chagny, perhaps the Persian, and others.

And please include both a canon love interest and a type of OC for the love interest. More than one of each if possible (especially with the OCs).

An example of a quality character that I expect is shown here:

Name: Céline Bonheur

Age: 24

Ethnicity: French, Swiss, German, Prussian

Body type (ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph): Ectomorph

Personality: Honest, has hardworking traits, exceptionally concentrated on her work, dedicated, generally positive, wishes for a sweeping romance, she's an easy book to read

Flaws: gullible, somewhat cowardly, quixotic, naive, has burning curiosity for others' business

History: Céline was born to two loving parents. She grew up as an only child in a wealthy household and trained to be a ballerina from the young age of seven. At the age of twenty, she auditioned to become a ballerina at the Opera Populaire and was accepted. Soon after she left for Paris, she returned to Labréde when her father's health failed him and he passed away from sickness soon thereafter. She soon returned to Paris, and commenced to begin her training at the opera under the tutelage of Madame Giry. She has now been under Madame Giry for four years. She has moved up through the ranks, and vies for the position of prima ballerina.

Ballet, singer, or stagehand? (Or really anything else that fits the parameters of the Opera House e.g. patron -ess, orchestra member, etc.): ballerina

Family: Anton Bonheur, father, deceased. A good man in life, he was honest with every man he met, and had sweet laughter that he shared with so many. Amélie Bonheur, mother, living. Amélie is a woman of many charms, and is very dignified. She has an air of importance around her. She is not proud of her daughter becoming a ballet rat in the theatre, and has disowned her daughter until she gains a more respectable position.

Appearance: Bright brown eyes, thick black her that often is unkempt and tangled, graceful body, a somewhat rounded face. When not wearing apparel suited to ballet, she is found wearing simple dresses.

Would your character be interested in a romance: Yes

If so, what kind of person would their romantic partner be: They would have to be caring and honest. Céline would want someone who loves her and can make her laugh. They would have to be exceptionally kind.

Anything else that you can possibly think of that I will need to know: Nothing.

Once again, please submit your OCs through PM. Happy submitting!
