Auditioning

Requirements for Original Characters:
1. Your character must be an Original Character. It cannot be a fan-character based off an existing story or franchise.
2. The Book and the Twins can access any world, so there is no limitation on what species, time period, or environment your character can come from.
3. Multiple characters may be submitted as a Team.
4. Personality and character depth is valued more than powers and abilities.

How to Apply
Auditions are due May 18th, 2011. Multiple people may work together on a single audition entry. To Audition, post the following two items in your gallery and send the TBOS Host *RobinRone links to both of the following items (in the same Note please!):

1. A character reference sheet that includes:
a) Character Name, Physical description, History, Personality, and Abilities.
b) Who they were chosen by (The Book, Lady Ink, or Mudd) and a description of their Gift (Page, Construct, Function), if they received one.
c) An image of your character (does not have to be drawn by you - see [link] for a list of volunteers willing to illustrate your OC!)
(Examples of character reference sheets: [link] and [link] )

2. An introduction story. This story depicts your character entering the Realm of Stories. They may be sent there by Lady Ink, Mudd, or accidentally pulled into The Book by reading one of its Pages. (See the Cast page if you don't know who these characters are!) There is no genre requirement for the audition. Just create a story that highlights your creativity, ability to characterize, and strengths as a storyteller. You may use any medium or multiple mediums to tell your story, including written work, comic, illustrated story, radio drama, animation, photgraphs, video, etc. If your character is receiving a Function, Construct, or Page, they must be given it in the audition!
