Please copy and paste this application into an e-mail, fill it out, and send it to me at FlareHiggins@yahoo.com. If you have a picture of your character, you can include it! And please remember to do these two things as well:
1. Fill out the short character form for the newsies master list and send it to me along with your application. Feel free to leave the "Relationships" and "Stories" fields blank if none have developed for your character yet.
2. If you know whose picture you're using for your character (if it's a celebrity and not just a random picture), please send that information to scriptygirl23@yahoo.com with "PB: [Character's name]" as the subject line so Script can update the "Played By" list.
Finally, most of the application should be filled out in character; it's Mrs. Heartwick who's asking the questions, and it's your character, not you, who is answering them.
In Character
First I'll be needin' yer full name, honey. It's for my confidential records. Lord knows none o' the girls actually uses 'em.
So what do people actually call ya? An' why?
Age an' birthday? Just estimate if ya ain't sure, hon.
Now you's gonna give me a physical description. Height, build, hair, eyes, the clothes ya wears--everythin' down to the last freckle, ya hear? *gives you a sober look* If one o' my goils goes missin'...well, it pays to be prepared, I always say.
I know you'll be sellin' papes, but are ya doin' any odder kinda work? If so, I gotta know about it. *gives you a sharp look* Yes, even that.
What's yer personality like, dearie? Sweet, grumpy, shy, outgoin', overly fond o' the boys? *smiles* It's all perfectly fine here in Greenwich Village.
Now, most o' the Village is real keen on the arts. Got any special talents I should know about? If ya sing, dance, act, draw, paint, write, or sweep a stage, I guarantee the goils'll find ya some extra work. *winks* You can tell me about any non-artistic talents while you's at it.
Any ghosts hauntin' ya that I should know about? I don't mean the kind that supposedly haunts the attic--I mean the bad things that follow ya from yer past, or the bad habits ya just can't seem to shake.
Who ya know in the area, hon? Friend or foe, I wanna hear about it. An' have ya got any fam'ly left?
Seein' anyone special, dear? *smiles slyly*
Now, last of all, baby, I need ya to tell me why you's here. Where'd ya come from, an' what kinda life did ya have before?
