SAMPLE APP -- ADMIN LISS

Below is a completed sample application for Admin Liss. Please note, your app does not need to look exactly like this but we hope it’ll clear up any questions you have about the application. 

  OOC:

Name: Liss

Pronouns: she/her

Timezone: EST

Age: Over 18

How did you find us?: It’s my rp!

IC:

What skeleton are you applying for?: Agent Franklin; Frankie for short

Character Real Name: Carmen Alan Davidson

First Choice FC: Janel Parrish

Second Choice FC: Erendira Ibarra

Character Gender and Pronouns: cis female, she/her

Character Age: 30

Please list at least two reasons why the Agency looked to recruit your character:

1) The Davidson name dates back to second generation of the Agency. Franklin’s father was in the agency until he retired a few years before Frankie was recruited.

2) Franklin received a lifesaving award her second year as a firefighter after saving two people. She was later that year awarded firefighter of the year which was reported in the news.

Character Backstory: 

Agent Franklin grew up the only child to Alan and Helen Davidson. Her middle name wasn’t always after her father, but around the time Franklin turned four years old and her parents realized her mother couldn’t have any more children. Her father won the argument to have it legally changed. Her mother always seemed to shake her head when her father told the story as the only time he ever won an argument against her mother.

Even before the name change, Frankie was her father’s little girl. As she grew up, she thought he was in the Army, overseas for most of her childhood. Her fondest memories were the days he returned home; they would spent all their time together, catching up with new memories. Franklin spent weekends camping, fishing, hunting, and just about anything outdoors. She grew up never being scared to get covered in dirt or climb the next obstacle with her father always there to catch her if she fell.

It was a shock to Franklin’s friends and family that she didn’t enlist when she graduated high school. Instead, she couldn’t help but be impressed by the firefighters she met at her senior year job fair. Franklin was already physically fit and her family supported her decision to apply to her local fire station. She passed through the academy with ease and studied on becoming a paramedic while she worked. Franklin was a full time employee as well as a full time student during her late teens, working her hardest to achieve her goals.

Frankie never finished school. At twenty-one, she was approached by the former Agent Adams, who has since retired, and her father with an interesting offer. Frankie was mad at her father for a total for twelve seconds for lying to her for most of her life before the excitement of becoming an agent took over. She accepted right away and knew the perfect excuse to tell her mother and friends.

It was only natural that Frankie copied her father’s cover. Claiming to want to see the world and save more of it outside of her little home town, no one was shocked to see her followe in her father’s footsteps. Frankie left for Agency training and no one was the wiser. She was incredibly upset her father couldn’t be her mentor, but bonded quickly with the old agent Adams.

Frankie almost didn’t make it into the field. Acting without thinking was second nature to her, and her firefighter instincts led her down the wrong path before she learned to correct them. Running back into burning buildings, despite the risk, transferred over to the agency. That training almost got her placed in tech after she failed the critical decision making final test. After a bit more training and a watchful eye from Adams, Frankie was promoted to a veteran agent after six years in the agency.

With her promotion came the bittersweet parting from her mentor. Although he never admitted it, Adams stayed at the Agency long enough to see her out on her own. He retired just two months after her official promotion, leaving behind his legacy and high expectations. Franklin really hit her stride as a veteran agent. When the position for Franklin opened up after the sudden death during a classified mission, Frankie was one of the top candidates. Through a competitive process, she emerged on top of one of the most qualified candidate pools in the history of the promotion process. 

Character Personality: [[At least one full paragraph, please.]]

Frankie has never been one to hold back. She is full throttle, all of the time, and will leave anyone in her dust if they can’t keep up. If anyone were to spontaneously break into song and dance for no reason or yell ‘challenge accepted’ at something that shouldn’t be considered a challenge, it is her. Franklin needs to have a challenge in her life. When Franklin doesn’t have something to do, she tends to fidget until she stirs up her own trouble.

Franklin is incredibly outgoing. She loves to be in the middle of a crowd as much as possible, and may as well be called the ‘unofficial bunker welcoming committee’. She’s outgoing and observant, and does a great job making new agents feel at home in their new home. Most people wouldn’t be able to guess that Franklin was an only child with how easy-going and willing to share she is.

Her loud personality and optimistic personality can be grating on some nerves and she has been known to get under peoples’ skin. Franklin is spontaneous and impulsive; this can be good or bad depending on the mission and her disposition for the day. Franklin’s original firefighter training is still at the core of her values, and she can act before she thinks.

OTHER:

Anything else:

Headcanons!

Franklin always carries a Rubik cube with them. She uses it to fidget with and to show off how fast they can solve it

Her MTBI type is ESFP.

If Frankie was going to be sorted at Hogwarts, she’d fall in the middle at Slytherdor.

Her favorite color is orange.

Always tries to get the agency Jeep whenever they have to drive out on a mission.

Has recently become a mentor to someone for the first time.

Is considering starting to teach some training classes but hasn’t yet.

Frankie has only been an founding father for 6 months, making her the newest founder.

Frankie likes having a roommate in the bunker. While she spent her whole life growing up as an old child with her own room she spent a lot of time with friends spending the night and looks like it as a forever slumber party.

Not a War Story: world premiere in June

Military and entertainment will gather for the world premiere of Not A War Story at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on June 30, 2017. Proceeds from the event will benefit veterans across the United States.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Tim O’Donnell and produced by veteran Nick Palmisciano, Not a War Story is a feature length documentary about the military veteran community, their aspirations and the craft involved in the making of Range 15, an independent narrative film produced by military veterans released in Summer 2016.

Range 15, which inadvertently became the single most decorated movie in history with 2 Medals of Honor, 1 Navy Cross, 2 Silver Stars, over 30 Bronze Stars and Purple Hearts, is not your usual war movie. In fact, although to the casual observer it may appear to be nothing than a bawdy, slapstick satire of Hollywood zombie apocalypse and military films, for those serving in the armed forces, the film was rife with inside jokes and jargon, and perhaps a resounding reclamation of Hollywood portrayal of military life and community.

The cast is an eclectic mix comprised of veterans, military heavy-hitters and Hollywood celebrities including “Lone Survivor” Marcus Luttrell, Medal of Honor Recipients Leroy Petry and Clint Romesha, Mat Best, Nick Palmisciano, Ross Patterson, Jarred “JT” Taylor, Vincent “Rocco” Vargas, Mary Dague, Jack Mandalville with cameos from Sean Astin, Danny Trejo, William Shatner, Randy Couture, Keith David and Ron Jeremy.

On the morning of the theatrical release for the Range 15, which screened in 500+ theaters, ISIS issued a death threat to all military gatherings in movie theaters. That didn’t stop thousands of veterans from all around the country to band together and turn Range 15 into an instant cult classic that later premiered #1 on Amazon and #2 on iTunes.

The story though, says Assal Ravandi, CEO Academy of United States Veterans, “ is less about the success of the film. It’s simply about a community that grew up fighting for each other on the battlefield and coming to do it once again in ‘Hollywoodland”. They committed to a mission and regardless of the challenges that came their way, they overcame and in the process, managed to show the world the raw love that veterans have for each other. These men and women aren’t broken, nor are they perfect. They’re simply human. But when they are together they are far more than that, and for one shining moment, they are all once again, a unit. This is a film whose back-story includes a lot of heart and a lot of heroes.”

“Range 15 was the ultimate goal for so many of us – to actually make a Hollywood movie, but as with most things in life, the beautiful part was the journey”, says producer Nick Palmisciano. “Not a War Story captures that journey in graphic detail, to the point where watching the footage for the first time actually made me relive the anxiety of making the movie. I cannot tell you how happy I am that we brought Tim O’Donnell on at the very beginning to capture that journey. Forget for one minute the challenge of having six big personalities trying to agree on script, locations, and actors. That’s true for every movie. The real challenge came in two forms: our total inexperience with the industry and the bias and corruption of the industry.”

Nick Palmisciano adds that “there were so many times when we were shunned for being veterans, when we ran out of money, when we had to deal with bad people who exploited our situation, that seeing Range 15 actually hit the big screen felt like a miracle. But every time we hit a brick wall, the veteran community rose up and refused to let us fail. And their support gave us the drive to push through the bleak times and deliver. I doubt I will ever be part of something as magical as those two years ever again, and I’m thrilled the world will have an opportunity to see the blood, sweat and tears that went into this effort.”

“As veterans, we all believe in an old fashion conviction called public service. We wear our title of veteran as a badge of honor. As brothers and sisters in arms, we are called to confirm our values and our vows, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up to the legacy of those who served before us and will serve long after us. Not A War Story, speaks loudly to that truth”  says Assal Ravandi.

Now, military and entertainment communities will unite as the Academy of United States Veterans (AUSV) hosts the world premiere of Not A War Story at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Samuel Goldwyn Theater, located at 8949 Wilshire Blvd ― Beverly Hills, CA 90021. A Pixela Pictura Production presented by top military apparel brands Ranger Up and Article 15, Not A War Story red carpet arrivals will begin promptly at 6 pm PST with a formal screening to follow at 7:30 pm PST. Through support, promotion and recognizing veteran service organizations, veteran programs and veteran-owned businesses nationwide; AUSV illuminates the work of like-minded groups such as those featured in Not A War Story. Their goal is to maximize collective impact through collaboration and cooperation within the veteran community and Hollywood for this film.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Gallant Few 501c3, whose mission is to prevent veteran isolation by connecting new veterans with hometown veteran mentors, thereby facilitating a peaceful, successful transition from military service to a civilian life filled with hope and purpose. The premiere will also benefit the Warriors Heart Foundation, treatment provider to adult men and women 18 and older who are seeking inpatient treatment for chemical dependency, alcohol abuse, and co-occurring psychological disorders relating to PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or the psychological effects of MTBI (mild traumatic brain injury).

NotAWarStory premiere tickets are available for purchase at the Academy of United States Veterans.
