In the case of written histories, please be complete and concise.
personality: Emma Frost is a woman who enjoys the finer things in life. She's attracted to power, only because she herself is a powerful woman who shouldn't be taken lightly. Emma often comes across to others as cold-hearted and snobbish, and she's perfectly fine with that. She's not a fan of forming close relationships with others, out of a distant fear of being alone. It's better off to keep others at an arms length than to face the pain when they eventually leave. The "L" word isn't something she takes lightly, although Scott Summers is slowly yet surely make that notion disappear.
Despite an icy outlook on life, Emma is able to be soft and caring at times. She loves teaching, and is willing to lay her life on the line for others. Dedicated to fighting for her fellow mutants, Emma will do whatever it takes in order to succeed, and hardly lets others stand in her way she she's set on a goal.
Wry with a sarcastic class, Emma is a deliverer of sharp-tongued, painfully truthful comments. She's unafraid to speak her mind, even if it can be hurtful towards others. Emma is a perfectionist through and through, and doesn't settle for second best in anything. Emma can be a coy tease when she feels it's called for, using her looks and upper-crust attitude to get what she wants. She knows it selfish, and it is something she's trying to fix about herself, but why fix what isn't broken?
Most say that Emma is shallow. That she's had so much work done, even she doesn't know what she originally looked like. But, in reality, Emma had suffered from extremely low self-esteem as a child, and that is something she'd prefer to forget. Well, that along with the more sketchier moments of her past. Her current appearance makes her fell empowered, like she can get whatever she wants. Though the "wears white all the time" image does grow exhausting after a while.
When crossed, Emma can hold a bitter grudge. She doesn't like being treated like a push-over or fool, and often vows that she will get revenge on those who make it on her bad side. But, believe it or not, Emma does have a sense of humor- though it may be more dry and pragmatic than most can handle. She likes a good joke, as long as it isn't too immature.
abilities/powers: Skills and abilities your character has learned up to their current canon point. Anything not spelled out here will not be playable in game. Include any pertinent weaknesses that apply to the character as well.
first person sample: Casual tags - usually written with brackets and in present tense. As if a character were making a regular entry to the main community. This should show a clear grasp of the character's voice. At least 3 lines of dialogue. If we feel we can’t judge voice from the sample, we may ask for a revision. PLEASE NOTE: When writing a first person sample PLEASE try to give us something more than simply 'waking up in the morgue' first post samples. While we do not forbid them, we prefer to encourage other methods of supplying voice. These posts can often be hard to judge, as they can fall under a 'generic' feeling or voice to them. Should you choose to use this as your sample please make sure it exemplifies something about the characters personality, or more than likely we will ask you for revisions. Examples of what we would prefer in place of these first person samples are links to other threads, first person samples made out of Abax (in their home verse, or otherwise), or samples of cases where the character has been situated in Abax for some time.
third person sample: Log format, usually, in third person past tense and in prose (no bracket spam, please). This should show the character's thought process in addition to their voice and you ability to portray and incorporate it. At least 200 words. Even if you meet the minimum word count, if we feel we can’t judge voice from the sample, we may ask for a revision.
**RP samples from previous games may be linked.
case no: Is there a preferred case number you'd like your character to have? Case numbers, for those of you choosing your own should consist of a sequence of three two digit numbers (00-00-00). The first TWO must be between 1-60, but the final number can be any number between 1-99. (60-60-99) Please check the Taken pages to be certain your case number isn’t already taken. If it is, your number will be randomised instead.
