Please write a brief answer to 3 of the following (a sentence or two for each is fine):
Your character's most painful experience Getting fifth in his class and his father saying ‘Your brother would have done better.”
Your character's best or favorite experience It was the week after finals when he found the duck, in the gardens of the Academy grounds. It was a little lost duckling which fell into a drainpipe, He couldn’t find the mother, and the duckling began following him around, so he took care of it, in secret.
Your character's most crucial experience Finding the duck.
Who is your character's role model and why? His older brother, Tom. Tom was Dad’s favorite, and he wanted to try to be like him.
Please write a brief sample post from your character’s perspective:
Murphy looked around, trying to hear the quacking of the duck through the hallways. This had been the third time Dennis had escaped from his room. If Lieutenant Spork found out that he had been harboring a secret duck in his dormitory, that would be it for Dennis. Finally, he saw a fuzzy little bolt of lightning waddle past. Quickly grabbing it, he was about to head back when he was confronted by the dread Lieutenant himself, an aging Vulcan who had no tolerance for hijinks whatsoever. Thinking fast, Murphy quickly tucked the peeping little bird into a jacket pocket. “Ah cadet, I would like to see you in my office tomorrow morning for a performance review.” said the Vulcan with a boring look into the sweating cadet’s face” “Sure… sure thing, sir.” Murphy said. The tiny bird peeped indignantly from inside the coat pocket. Lt. Spork looked quizzically at the young man, eyebrow raised. “Uh… That, that was a hiccup, Sir. If you’d excuse me, I’ll get some...water.” Murphy grinned awkwardly as he skedaddled out of there. That was a close one.
Do you have previous experience with a role-play forum? yes. I was on SF
What brought you to the Frontier?
Lurking
Is there anything else you’d like to tell us?
About Dennis the Duck:
Dennis is a mallard duck, who is cantankerous, mischievous, and more than willing to bite anyone that is not Ensign Murphy. He loves Ensign Murphy though and is often seen snuggling the gangly ensign.
