You are a BORED TROLL.
Whatever your interests may be, you have a small GROUP OF FRIENDS that occasionally enjoys playing GAMES together. You are currently deciding on whether or not to download this interesting looking game called SQUEST. You have heard about it on varying sites all throughout the ALTERNET. So far, all you know is that it is some sort of MMORPG designed to be played with friends in a LAN SETTING. The official website provided by MATREON, LTD does not offer much information:

Below are two separate DOWNLOAD LINKS: one for a PLAYER, and one for an ADMIN. You already know which of your group will be the ADMIN, so here you sit in your RESPITEBLOCK, mulling over the choice to embark upon a playthrough of this game. Maybe it sounds right up your alley? Or maybe you don't particularly care for RPGs normally, but see this as a golden opportunity to immerse yourself in one. Who knows, it might turn out to be different than you expect...
This game will mostly take place in Skype and Roll20, unless one or both of those platforms is inaccessible by certain members.
It's DND SGRUB, kind of. As such, dice rolling will be a major feature of SQUEST, and these rolls will draw from various bonuses and modifiers the game attributes to the players. While combat will be a whole other issue, generally each character will roll 1d20 to accomplish a certain task. These tasks will obviously be specific and a certain measure of substantial-- you're not going to roll for your character to walk to the thermal hull and get a juice box.
While many juicy secrets of this game are closely guarded by the GM (yours truly), this game will function remotely like SBURB/SGRUB. Some key differences include the fact that all players will be in near-constant contact with each other, there is only one hive involved (the admin's), and vastly different goals for said game. There will be a large focus on RPG elements, namely classes, levelling, and skills. Game progression will be less personalized and more team-oriented. Mysteries and adventure await your troll at every turn. Every. Goddamn. Turn.
The game will start with all 6 players meeting at the ADMIN's hive with their mobile computing devices of choice and their respective PLAYER copies.
Having decided to download the game after all, you give the link a single click.
You are immediately greeted with a blank character sheet. Looks like this thing wants you to fill it out before it will let you download the game. You groan at all the annoyingly basic information you will have to type out before finally doing the deed.
Anyone can submit as many apps as they like, but I will ultimately decides who's in and who gets the axe. As a forewarning, these characters will be in very close interaction from start to finish, so throwing in your most volatile character many not be so good of an idea.
Name:
Age: sweeps
Title: SGRUB title
Trolltag:
Blood: color/hex
Strife specibus: only 1
Fetch modus:
Description: help me to get to know your character a bit. MSPA style intros or short paragraphs, as long as I get an idea of what they're like.
Inventory: what the troll currently has on them and in their sylladex. if it's something simple like "clothes" or "glasses" don't bother to list them unless they're special.
Picture: minisprite, talksprite, drawing, dollmaker, just something so I can have a pictorial representation
(For these next 6 stats, rank them in order from A, B, C, D, E, F. Use each letter only once.)
Vim: Raw physical strength
Perceptiveness: Cunning, hand-eye coordination, agility
Firmosity: state of being and overall toughness
Astuteness: intelligence, factual knowledge, ability to learn
Imagination: wittiness, experience with the world
Pulchritude: charisma, power of personality, attractiveness
Skype: for exploration, conversation, alchemization, etc.
Roll20: for dungeons and encounters
Application tips:
- Duplicate class/aspect/classpects are allowed, and neither encouraged or discouraged. Just pick what suits your troll the best, man.
- These characters will be in close contact throughout the majority of the game, so picking your most volatile, insane, etc troll is probably not a good idea.
- Remember that these characters were more or less all friends before playing the game. Submitting a troll that is completely at odds with the rest of the group is likely to get you rejected.
- Be wary that mutants tend to be culled on Alternia. I won't reject your troll based solely on the fact that they're a mutant, but you'll need some justification as to why they're still alive.
- If you have absolutely no image reference whatsoever, just describe them. I'll probably make you an MSPA-style sprite if you get accepted.

1. I am the GM, so what I decide is final, period. I really don't mean to sound "NO FUN ALLOWED" about this, and if you think something I say is unreasonable, don't be afraid to bring it up with me.
2. All forum and subforum rules still apply.
3. Please no godmodding, powerplaying, etc... it's bad RP and it's just rude.
4. Applications are accepted on a case-by-case basis. You can submit as many as you want, but only 1 troll per person will be allowed.
5. Be active! We will try to have sessions once a week on a day that is most convenient for everyone. I am not an unreasonable man, so if you have IRL stuff that'll prevent you from being at a few sessions, don't be afraid to tell me! We can work something out, yo. But disappearances for weeks on end will probably result in me feeding your character to some monsters.
6. This is not a complete or set-in-stone list. If I chastise you for something, "It wasn't on the rules" isn't an excuse. Use commons sense
6. You need to include this message somewhere in the application so I know you read this: "The Legend Never Dies."
7. Have many fun.
