For a valid RTJ I require the following:

1) Short detailed description of why you wish to join the game.
What made you choose this game over another setting, game and so forth?

2. Short character concept(s):
In order to better answer this question, please read both the Campaign setting and the Character Generation thread. It will hold valid information in regards to this and could well affect what you write here.
As a few of the races are restricted please include more than one concept, if you have a desire to play one of these. Again, please refer to the other Character Generation thread for this.

Fill out the following:
Name:
Gender:
Class:
Short background:
As this game is situated in the Forgotten Realms setting, per the core book you are entitled to one background from the region you begin in. Please detail here:

Please do the above for each concept. Keep in simple, but detailed.

3. Writing sample:
Please provide a few paragraphs that detail your general writing style. This is for myself, one of the main focus points in deciding which players I end up choosing.
If you happen to participate in a game elsewhere on RPOL, please include which games, and which character you play, along with a link to the game.

4. Tell me shortly about yourself.
This is mainly curiosity on my part, and in some cases can help in creating a more dynamic group. More than anything, as a chance to know the players.

5. Posting rate and voicing of commitment.
Behind the somewhat odd phrasing lies the following query:
Can you post 4 times a week consistently and if unable, understand and will use the vacation/away thread? Simple question, simple answer.
