Doctor Application
You may apply to take a doctor, (that is, you will be a mod whose tasks only include playing a doctor during therapy sessions), if you have have had at least one character in play for a month or more. You may send in an application whenever the userinfo states that Doctor Applications are open.
Your doctor must come from a pre-existing series, and you should play him/her with as much attention to staying in-character as you would a normal patient character. In order to be eligible to take on the role of a doctor, your character must canonly have the title of "Doctor" or "Professor" as part of his/her name, and must have some kind of medical or scholarly background, though due to certain circumstances that Landel's provides, that background doesn't necessarily need to be realistically related to mental health.
If accepted, you'll be filled in on the roles of the doctors, (as well as their level of knowledge of the inner workings of Landel's), straight away, and we'll discuss with you how your doctor should generally treat patients within the scope of their own IC-ness. Due to limited doctor slots, a player may only have one doctor character.
Note: Due to the fact that doctors are now way more interactive and have so much more freedom to move around than they did before, this application has become a bit more detailed due to the fact that they've become more like regular patient-characters and we must change our inquiries to reflect that.

Character(s) you currently play at Landel's:
Doctor's Full Name:

Doctor's Gender:
Series Doctor is from:
Have you played the game/watched the movie or anime/read the book or comic, etc. that your doctor hails from?: (Please don't give us a simple "yes" or "no" for this. Instead, tell us how much of your character's series you've been exposed to and/or give us an explanation of how familiar you are with your character's series.)
Please give us a detailed personal history of your doctor: (Where he/she was born, who he/she was raised by, achievements, goals, etc. Note: Please do not link us to an outside source such as Wikipedia for this; we want you to demonstrate your knowledge of your character through your own words. If you give us a link instead of a bio, we won't read it unless it's supplementary information. Also keep in mind, however, that we don't need a scene-by-scene summary of a series--more like a detailed overview of the important events in your character's life and how they shaped them into who they are today. If there's anything in your character's backstory that's canonly vague or not yet revealed, make as many educated guesses as you can and let us know that you're speculating on those particular aspects of your character's history.)
Please give us a detailed description of your doctor's personality:
Please give us a detailed physical description of your doctor:
What kinds of magical/special/crazy powers does your character have, if any?:
If present, how do you plan to tweak those powers to make him/her a more realistic addition to the Landel's daytime staff?: (Please be as detailed and reasonable as possible; we're very strict about godmodding!)
Although we already know your character is a professor/doctor, what, exactly, is their field of expertise?:
Does your character have any other non-magical skills or abilities that we should know about besides their field of expertise?:
What point in time are you taking your doctor from when he/she appears at Landel's?: (For example, first episode, end of series, pre-game, post-movie, etc.? You can choose whatever you like, but please be as specific and detailed as you can--if possible, right down to the moment.)
Why are you interested in playing this character as a doctor instead of a patient?:
How would you explain your doctor ending up as part of the Landel's staff?:
How would your doctor approach patients during therapy?:
Doctor Sample:
Replace this block of text with a sample doctor post for us in third person, past tense. Your sample should be 500 words or more.

Finally, please attach a picture of your character to your email so we can get an idea of who you're talking about. (An official, full-body photo/illustration would be best, but if such a picture doesn't exist, go for whatever best alternative you can find. If your character is minor or obscure to the point that you don't have any pictures at all, please say so here and make sure that your physical description is as fleshed-out as it can possibly be.)
NOTE: We are looking for quality in our writers. We reserve the right to reject your application if we feel you don't have a strong command of your doctor or of the English language. These applications will be held to high standards, so we expect for you to do your best to meet them.
