Your character application is your ticket into Vice City. Approved stories tend to share a few things.

  • Start realistic. Don't arrive as a millionaire or a legendary criminal.
  • Give a motive. Why is your character in Vice City?
  • Add flaws. A fear or a bad habit brings a character to life.
  • Keep the timeline consistent. Age, education and events shouldn't contradict each other.
  • Mind your writing. Use paragraphs and punctuation.
  • Respect the lore. Don't link to institutions or people that don't exist in the city.
  • Leave a door open. End with a goal that makes us curious about what comes next.
