ALLOWED CHARACTERS
Notes:Please do not link from your journal, make sure all the content is pasted into the comment(s).
- We now operate ROLLING APPLICATIONS that are always open. You can submit 1 character anytime in a month!
- Our application process has become simplified due to staffing changes, please take note!
- As apps are always open, reserves are NO LONGER REQUIRED. Please simply complete the application below and post when you are ready.
- If two people apply for the same character, the first to post their application will be assessed. The second application will only be considered if the first is declined.
- However, we do allow UP TO TWO versions of each character in game. The second applicant would therefore be permitted to apply for an AU version of that character if they so choose.
- Agents of D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. or antagonist applications will open on November 4. These characters are either brainwashed (quick resolution) or coerced (slow-play resolution, long-term espionage) to help usher in the apocalypse. More information here!
OOC:
Player Name: Provide your handle
Age: Indicate you are 18+; players less than 18 years-of-age are not permitted
Contact: One or more of Plurk, PM, or Discord are needed
IC:
Character Name: Mrs. Handsome
Canon: Indicate which version if there are multiple (e.g., book to movie)
CANON POINT: Briefly describe in a sentence.
CRAU: Yes/No, please link the game/musebox the character is from
Age: Note that characters below 16 years of age should be apped with caution, as self-sufficiency/autonomy are extremely important. Heavy interdependency and neglect risks should be OOCly opt-in.
AGENT OF DESTINY: Yes/No, "Brainwashed" or "Coerced." Brainwash agents will be captured in-game and start to remember themselves within 1-2 months of play; coerced agents are knowingly helping the other side but under duress. Antagonists cannot begin gameplay until November 4, 2017, but you may feel free to apply and plot before then!
Background: Brief summary as possible, Wiki links preferred. If you wish to write your own, please us bullet points and be concise, 250-800 words. Please avoid over-describing the world or any jargon, focus more on key points in personality development (see above), changes wrought by CRAU and important CRAU relationships, and events that are likely to be regarded as offensive or sensitive material.
Powers/Abilities: Bullet list preferred. 1-400 words. Include non-human weaknesses/limits and superlative skills. Estimate numerical limits (weight, distance, speed, etc.). At the mods' discretion, destructive capacity may be scaled down based on a maximum lift of 5 tons (~2 full-sized cars).
Starting Equipment: Name your daemon, describe its form (max 50 words), and list any other items the character will be arriving with. Note highly destructive items will be controlled by metaplot. If you have critters that have powers or special abilities, please describe them briefly.
Samples: 1 required, may be from any meme, game, or setting; however, it should have been written within the last year. They should also be written from your preferred canon point.
In-Universe:
Exit Strategy: Maximum of 200 words. If your character is an agent of D.E.S.T.I.N.Y./antagonist, describe what D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. agents did to them (e.g., torture/magical brainwashing, or family held hostage/apocalypse postponed).
For non-antagonists, tell us how the D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. apocalypse and the enemy appeared in their world, then describe the technology or magic the character used to escape their world. Note any characters they are arriving with (i.e., 'group app') including usernames. This may be used for future plot, but don't worry too much about perfect consistency with your group mate/castmates/etc.— adjustments can be made later. We just want you to be thinking about it. All characters start on the beach.
Applications
Who's Allowed?
✔ CRAU, or characters who have experienced life in other games/museboxes. 'Partial CRAU' is not allowed, but if you apply in fresh, you will be able to obtain memories of CRAU during special events.
✔ Original characters
✔ Canon characters who must personally appear and preferably have a speaking role in the material of the canon point (specific episodes, books, films, etc.). You cannot app a minor/supporting character and headcanon the substance of their personality, or extrapolate a character's off-screen activities from material that only their canonmates were seen in
✔ Child characters (see Age warning in the Application section; note that self-sufficiency is important and other characters and players will not be forced to face consequences for failing to take on a dependent without careful OOC plotting)
✔ Multiple iterations of the same canon character are allowed. The two versions must be at least one with CRAU. The current maximum is 2 of each character. This may be raised by 1 if the character exists in another form of media and is determined to be sufficiently different.
✔ Non-human characters (greatest height in all directions is 30 feet; weird genitalia is fine as long as no one has to deal with it if they don't want to)
✔ Agents of D.E.S.T.I.N.Y., allowed as of November 4
✘
✘ Characters who must kill sentient beings (compulsion, physical appetites/dependence, etc.); there are limited NPCs and escalating ICC may render your character unplayable
Players should consider introducing themselves to players of close canon CR before they app. However, this is only required in the case of a group application (castmates arriving together from the same version and canon point of their world), or if you are apping the second version of an existing canon character. The purpose of this is not to mandate approval, but to initiate and encourage intra-cast communication.

In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: It began as earthquakes which grew in severity by the minute. The sky filled with black clouds, wind and hail pummeled the city and finally lightning strikes specifically targeted buildings and people to destroy what hadn't already been torn asunder. Vex lived with Mark on the 23rd/24th floor of a skyscraper and they were watching a movie together when the attack started. Before they could try to escape the projection screen switched to a view of Xistentia, which Mark's arm was able to go into when he reached inside. Seeing it as magical intervention from certain death, as their home was literally falling apart around them, they held hands and stepped through. During the transfer process they were unable to hang onto each other and they were separated, Vex arrived on the beach alone.
MORALITY: Vex is a survivor first and foremost and has only displayed the willingness to die twice; once while mourning his son and then when he refused to join the side of Hades against his newfound team. He's proven in the past that he'll commit atrocities to live, an example of that being when he condemned his family to a slow and painful execution as a deal to save himself. He then becomes a hitman for the Dark who killed and tortured his fellow fae, including children, which was a duty he performed without hesitation although he later admitted that he regretted the terrible things he did. He shows an aptitude for getting into trouble (always heckling authority), a readiness to fight (or "go down swinging" as he says), and is sexually aroused by danger in certain situations (he'll flirt with you regardless if you're an enemy). Ultimately, he'll do what needs to be done and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get Mark back even if that means he must become the monster he used to be.
WAR ATTITUDES: While Vex typically prefers to sit back and let everyone else duke it out, he currently has a powerful need to rebuild his world so he can be reunited with Mark. He won't be the person who organizes missions because he's a shitty leader, but he'll push for others to do so and tag along. He likely complain and make inappropriate remarks during any adventures, but that's just Vex. Whenever he's motivated, which he has been in a few canon situations, he's there to battle it out to the end.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: He'll screw you and your entire family if that means it'll get him what he wants. Vex has no qualms about sex, though he does have a preference for getting it on with those who share his love of BDSM- he has kinks and he's not ashamed of them. True friendship is more difficult to obtain from him, and by "true" friendship I mean he won't or he'll hesitate to betray you if need-be. He's notorious for switching sides but he's proven he can be reliable for the people he cares about, or at least feel really bad if he turns on them (sorry Kenzi). As for romantic entanglements? Not a chance. He gave what little heart he had to Mark.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Normally Vex's focus would be on hedonism, building nightclubs and making as many physical connections as he could. But without Mark that's now secondary and his attention will be in exploration and discovery. He'll want to find the most information as fast as he can in order to rebuild his home and get his husband back. Whatever needs doing, no matter how dangerous or stupid, Vex will volunteer to get it done and so there's a high potential for him to harm himself in the beginning with reckless behavior. But hopefully with the support of his friends and forging new bonds with strangers he'll calm down and play it smarter.
