Average time on Gaia (per day): Any time I'm on the computer. ._. I spend 8 hours at school and about 30m-1h doing other things. If nothing comes up, I should be on nearly all day. :3
When are you on (Morning, afternoon, night)?: As soon as I wake up to as soon as I go to sleep? :3
Who would you like to host with?: Anyone who's nice? Uh... Hm... Panda of Twilight? D: Lady Angelishia?
The room you want most: Dark Roommmmm
Rooms that you would be ok with hosting: main room, room of wisdom and arts, beauty room
Rooms you DO NOT want: Hmm... Forest room?
People who you feel you would work best with: I can work with almost anyone, really! :3
What are your strengths for this position?: I've been roleplaying since I was 10, for one. I write stories and mangas, I have 6mil (is that a strength? An advantage at least?) I love brainstorming ideas, creativity, and humor, . I'm kind of leaderish, I guess, but I rather work with people then above them. I like when things look cool. I draw a whole bunch of awesome stuff (especially in photoshop) and I make banners and post styles. I draw anime? And... I make games. In flash, renpy, and vn. Plus, I like designing activities. (something you learn from dealing with a ton of little kids) OH, I love mythology. I know almost everything about aphrodite, Troy, Zeus, Helen, Hermes, Oddyseus... I know Poseidon's history too, for the most part. I can easily recite the life of Hades in less than a few seconds. Athena too. When people get off task and act like idiots I get frustrated though. :<



Room Ideas:
As an overall plot idea, maybe we could have all the Gods of each room warring against the other rooms? And people had to choose one of the rooms, and all of the gods tried to get people to come to their room? Like that? :3


DAAARKKKK ROOOOOM ::
-Hades and Persephone problems? :[
-It could be like a restaurant! Where the waiters are skeletons! And all the candles burn violet! Black marble!
-Ghosts! :3
-Avatar contest- gothic theme
-gothic art contest
-the post styles. MUST. LOOK. AWESOME. Black roses, or white roses with blood drops... OOH! We could use vines as post dividers! THE BANNERS! O GAWD THE BANNERS. We could also use bones as post dividers! OSGOSDRGJDG...! -bloodspurt-
-a raffle; the winner gets "war of the warlords" aka gift of ares ;3


SEAAA ROOOOOOM::
-Poseidon vs Athena?
-Hmmm.... Perhaps Poseidon's trident could be missing? :3
-avatar contest! :3 Ocean theme of course~

Wisdom and Artsssss ::
-Poetry contest, rp contest, writing contest, something like that?

~Beauty ♥ Room~ ::
-avatar contest, duh
-maybe some kind of dating contest poem thing. Like one of those 'bachelor' type deals.






User Information: Most of the reasons I think I put under my strengths. :3 I was in last year's ball and it was AWESOME. I want to be a part of giving someone else as awesome of an experience as me. I've roleplayed since I knew how to type, and I love writing plots... I can't promise that I'll be perfect, but I can promise that I'll spend everything I can just to try. x3

Average time on Gaia (per day): 2-4 hours weekdays, 5-12+ hours weekends
When are you on (Morning, afternoon, night)?: evening on weekdays, afternoon and the middle of the night on weekends(all based on EST)
Who would you like to host with?: I'm fine with anyone who isn't very stubborn.

The room you want most:The Room of Darkness
Rooms that you would be ok with hosting: The Forest Room, The Room of Wisdom and Arts, Main Room
Rooms you DO NOT want: The Room of Beauty
People who you feel you would work best with: Smart people
What are your strengths for this position?: I'm a good leader, I am very intelligent, and I know how to layout pages, write dialogue, etc. I am also good with plots.

Room Ideas: Dark Room:
- an arena(more for Ares than Hades)
- an avi contest
- a debate (not a logical debate, really, just more of a silly, illogical bit of fun)

The Room of Wisdom and Arts
- a sculpture contest (it would really be a drawing, but to look like a sculpture)

Main Room
- You could pledge allegiance to a certain god, and have contests/ rewards bound to that god

The Forest Room:
- An archery contest (you would roll dice to see where you hit)

User Information: I was a big fan of last year's ball, and would love to share my experience with others. I have also done many papers and read many books on Greek mythology(more than the Percy Jackson books, too)

Average time on Gaia (per day): Currently 2 to 4 hours on weekdays, more during the weekends. However that might change next year.
When are you on (Morning, afternoon, night)?: Morning to afternoon, depending on my schedule.
Who would you like to host with?: Anyone is fine, but it'll be great if it's with someone experienced (and knows art, if required).

The room you want most: News Room/Dark Room
Rooms that you would be ok with hosting: The Celebration Room, The Forest Room, Dark Room/News Room
Rooms you DO NOT want: None
People who you feel you would work best with: Fine with anyone who's okay. but best if they're experienced
What are your strengths for this position?: I'm good multi-tasking and combining different ideas together to form something. I've had experienced in plots as well as news-casting. I'm a writer myself, and a pretty good rp player.

Room Ideas:
News Room:
~ Can have a name of 'Greek Times' and a slogan of the reporting, location held at the highest peak of Mount Olympus
~ Best Reporter Contest could be held, as well as a News Room Banner Contest, as well as Best Avi contest to name a few

Dark Room:
~ It can have a very dark home setting, with black and dark purple flames and old looking lamps and mirrors, just basically eerie
~ The plot will focus on Hades, Persephone and a little of Demeter. In which participants might have to help Persephone hide secrets and plots from escaping and help her escape. Participants can choose who they wish to help: Hades from keeping Persephone or Persephone who wishes to escape.
~ The Creepiest Avi contest and art contests can be held.

Forest Room:
~ A Forest Glade setting, with flowers and plants and twigs as the furniture, all with a magical touch to it. The Glade will be hidden among the trees, and participants will have to search for it for awhile before stumbling upon it, meeting many things on the way (even the God/Goddess!) Though a draft might be made for them beforehand just in case. The Rolll Dice could be used to determine which direction they'll go.
~ Again, an avi contest might suffice. The plot itself might be a contest, given if they're searching for the Gods or something.
~ The plot focuses on a sad Artemis, who just lost her beloved lover Orion. The Prince of Centaurs could also be having slight problems which his kind in the forest, in which Artemis might slay due to her grief. At least, something like that. xp

The Celebration Room:
~ The plot itself could twine itself together with the Dark Room, as Demeter might be grieving for her child's return. Due to her grief, harvest is slow and God Dionysus is trying to cheer her up to get the celebration going.
~ It'll be a very merry setting, almost like party, except that it's held in Mount Olympus. Shiny golden goblets with red wine will be around the room, and food from harvest is placed on the table. All very grand.
~ An art contest (like drawing the food portrait like in the Renaissance or anything of the sorts would be alright).

User Information: I have many experiences in news-casting and reporting in real life, be it live or on paper. I also have experiences in plots (mainly educational), though all of them are done in real life. Also, I would be thinking and planning out about everything in the room when I'm offline, so I'm always ready for anything during discussions and there's no need to worry about when my online hours reduce. I also love to help out in anything (that has nothing to do with arts).

Average time on Gaia (per day): When I'm on Gaia. About 3 to 4 hours avg. Although during the ball I'm normally on at least 6 hours, normally 8 or more.

When are you on (Morning, afternoon, night)?: Random time really. But if I know in advance, I can be online at any time.

Who would you like to host with?: Anyone. but I'd prefer someone who knows what their doing.

The room you want most: The Forest Room. Although I'll most Likely be doing the news room as sara. (As well I hope.)

Rooms that you would be ok with hosting: Any of the others.

Rooms you DO NOT want: [is left blank.]

People who you feel you would work best with: Well, That's a long list.

What are your strengths for this position?: I've been room host twice in the past. So I know what I'm doing. I'm great at coming up with a plot. And playing a role. (A character in a story.)

Room Ideas: briefly list at least three ideas you have for the room that you want most and one idea each for the three rooms you would be ok with (ex. room names, contests, plot ideas).

Forest:

Name: The whispering wind woods.

Contests:

The call of nature: Basically the idea will be to search for clues that will tell where the "Forest Spirit" has disappeared too. The first person to finish this little quest is the winner.

Plot:

(I'm not up to date with the main plot at this point so this comes out of thin air.)

Whispering winds woods is home to the 4 elemental spirits. These spirits dance, the seasons change, and the Gods remain happy. However the spirits have disappeared, and in their place, nothing but shadows. This causes the seasons to go out of balance. All four seasons are happening all at once! Some of the forest is buried under the snow of winder, while others are filled with the heat of summer. A meadow where flowers bloom in spring, is next to trees with the golden colors of fall. The Gods are now angry with the Forest. We must find the Spirits before the forest disappears forever.

The Sea:

Plot:

The waters flow calmly against the rocks. A truly peaceful scene. But is all what it appears to be? No it's not. For the power to control these seas has been lost to the Gods. Some seem to think that a shadow monster stole it away.

The Dark Room:

Plot:

This castle holds many dark secrets. Could demons truly live here? Where are the Lost souls that should be found here? What is going on?

(Basically the hosts never tell anyone a single secret of the castle. However, hints to what is going on will be made. In the end, nothing is learned of the castle, and it simply disappears.)

User Information: tell us why we should pick you to be a host (qualifications, past experience, etc).

I hosted the Ruins room in the 6th ball, The dragon's nest in the 7th, and the news room in the 7th. Actually, the one(s) picking the room hosts should already know the answer to this one.

Average time on Gaia (per day):2 to 8 hours on Monday through Friday on the weekend about 3 or 4 hours
When are you on (Morning, afternoon, night)?:Afternoon, Night
Who would you like to host with?:Anyone

The room you want most:The Dark Room
Rooms that you would be ok with hosting:The Sea Room, The Room of Beauty.
Rooms you DO NOT want: The Main Room and the News Room
People who you feel you would work best with: Anyone
What are your strengths for this position?: I'm a really good writer and a excellent RPer and easy to get along with i'm on almost all day except for weekends so i'd be active and that's about it so thank you for reading this.
Room Ideas:For the Dark Room, I think maybe trying to smuggle uninvited guests past the gaurd dog Cerberus or attempting to sneak out because you can't leave there once you got there like in the mythology. For the Sea Room, Poisedon challenges all attendents to a contest to find and assemble the missing parts of his trident and chariot. For the Room of Beauty, Aphrodite becomes jealous of the other woman at the party and challenges them to a beauty contest to declare among the men who's the fairest but the contest is rigged.

User Information: I'm pretty new to gaia but in the short time I have been on it i've become a lit RPer and have joined many guilds and helped with lots of projects on different things so i'd love to help on this.

Username: Whimsical Rhetoric

Average time on Gaia (per day): Minimum 3 hours
When are you on (Morning, afternoon, night)?: Afternoon, all day for non-skool days.
Who would you like to host with?: Anyone. Im pretty malleable.

The room you want most: What ever is left over (the scraps)
Rooms that you would be ok with hosting: Any and All
Rooms you DO NOT want: None
People who you feel you would work best with: Anyone, I'm pretty open.
What are your strengths for this position?: I am very creative and not afraid to play by the rules. I would stick to the storyline and only participate to make the ball as good as it could possibly be.

Room Ideas:
1) I think each of the rooms should be incorporated with one of the seven deadly sins, so that in each individual storyline, the plot is overcoming the sin.
The Celebration Room - The sin of Gluttony
News Room - The sin of Slothfulness
The Room of Wisdom and Arts - The sin of Pride
The Room of Beauty - The sin of Lust
The Sea Room - The sin of Greed
The Dark Room - The sin of Wrath
The Forest Room - The sin of Envy

2) I think the combination of the defeat of each sin would be the key to defeating Eris. Each creature that affects each room should be based off of that sin.

3) Each room should have suggestion links up, that when the user triggers them, a tab will open with appropriate background music.

4) Each room can have a avi mascot, pre-elected by the plot captain. The mascot could then lead most of the festivities while the NPCs are used for the plot.

5) Each room has a poll, with the option to either support or not to support. Whoever gets the most supports, gets second.

6) After every NPC post, there should be hidden white text with a clue that foreshadows future conflict.

User Information: I think I should be picked because I would do my best to help everyone have a great time, I work well with almost everyone, and I follow rules and would stick to the storyline flawlessly.
