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.
Application
PLAYER NAME: Ellie
AGE: 31
CONTACT:
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Ronan Lynch
CANON: The Raven Cycle
CANON POINT: End of the Raven King
CRAU: No
AGE: 18
BACKGROUND:
POWERS: Ronan has the ability to bring items out of his dreams. Magical items, like torches that never go out, little robotic insects made to find someone, incandescent flowers, pieces of armor, hand cream, but also much bigger things - cars, for example. But it doesn't stop there; he can also bring back alive things, monsters and beautiful people alike. When he has nightmares, he can inadvertently bring back to reality what he calls his night terrors, terrible clawed single-minded monsters, looking to kill him and everything he loves. Ronan can, as long as he's got the ley line energy close by, dream anything into being. (happy for this to be nerfed)
STARTING EQUIPMENT: Daemon: Chainsawd; a small, black raven. The clothes on his back, including his leather bands.
SAMPLES: Action - TDM
Network - NSFW
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. appeared as an extension of the Unmaker; outside of Cabeswater, the world started to break apart - corrupted, oozing blackness until it started shredding at fabric of reality, in and outside of Cabeswater. The virus tore through Cabeswater, creating a fracture in the program allowing Ronan to escape his world.
MORALITY: There isn't much that Ronan wouldn't do for the people he considers his; his found family. Despite misgivings, despite his violence, he tends to do the right thing, and he is not a murderer. He is a bit of a criminal and pursues thrills without caring if it breaks the law or not, but he can still be found on the right side of the 'good vs evil' fight - even if he'd argue the opposite. His limits are bendable, and depend on the circumstances and the involved parties.
WAR ATTITUDES: The answer to this would be, for Ronan, both of these things. He is much more of a fighter than a habitat for humanity kind of guy, and going out to find things and people to punch in the face would definitely be what he would start off doing - as long as he can be left alone to do it, and isn't made to follow some makeshift leader. As mentioned, he'd do anything to protect his own, and fighting D.E.S.T.I.N.Y can help his world, he will most definitely be there.
But Ronan also has a very strong instinct to make a home, to perpetuate the Lynch name, and what his father attempted to do with the Barns. So he will definitely be around town, carving a corner and making it his own, dreaming up a reminder of his former home in this new one.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: This will be the more difficult part for him, and may largely depend on who, from his world, ends up in the firewall with him. Back home, he is feeling out the beginnings of a new - his first - relationship, and he won't want to throw it away quickly. He is slow to trust, and is constantly abrasive and abrupt, but willing to make friends, even if he will never show it, or admit it. So friendship is most definitely on the table, but anything romantic with someone else than Adam would take a very long while to build, and Ronan would adamantly resist it.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Ronan would most definitely want to set his world to rights and fight D.E.S.T.I.N.Y any chance he gets, so missions would be on his list of activities. Along with that, growing used to Gansey's quest has injected some of Gansey's unending curiosity into Ronan, and exploration would be another thing he'd want to do - even if it is in a reckless way (in the middle of the night, by himself, someone fight him). But also, he'd want to recreate his childhood home, with was built as a dairy farm - with the intention of potentially making a business out of it. There is also the possibility of a shadier side of commerce, the black market of magical objects, but Ronan would be extremely reluctant to get into it.
