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.

CHARACTER NAME: Shane
CANON: Original Character
CANON POINT: 2016 - post Fae truce
CRAU: No
AGE: not sure, appears in late 20s ( he's lost track at this point )
BACKGROUND:
POWERS:
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
SAMPLES:
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. came when the demons broke through their Door, something that had never happened before. Yet they came pouring into Earth, wrecking and destroying the world beyond any saving. They foretold of the coming apocalypse that was destroying their world and come for Earth next. So Shane, with the aid of the coven of witches in Prague, attempted to open a portal to any other world that would protect them. He watched his family and loved ones go through first. Yet when he stepped through, he found himself alone.
MORALITY: Despite his "neutral" stance in life, Shane tends to lean more towards doing good than others. He loathes having to twist his morality to any shade of grey, and he'll always try to find a way to avoid doing so. Sometimes this means letting others do things and keeping his mouth shut. He tries to weigh the good against the bad for the best possible neutral outcome, but it's not always so black and white. He's not easy to bend, but if reason and logic dictate it he will do what he must.
WAR ATTITUDES: Ever the pacifist, Shane really tries to keep his nose out of war dealings. However, his family has put him more in the middle of wars than he ever wanted to be. He did his best to remain apart from it all, but he just ended up dragged into it again. So he tries to support where he can and stay out of the actual fighting. He also does his best to try to advise for more peaceful routes, though he knows it rarely wins out. War is war, he's seen plenty of it to know the truth of it.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Shane loves people. He loves to learn their stories, learn about their cultures, and just learn all about them. The problem is, he tends to have problems opening himself up to others. He's lived his life as an outsider to try to protect people he loves. He's not opposed to it, he has a family and growing circle of others after all, it just takes him more time to learn to open himself better to others. As for romantic inclinations, he's very devoted to his husband, Rafa. He's never slept with another person since he and Rafa reunited, and has no intentions to do so despite everyone else in his family tending to be more polyamorous. He doesn't judge the others for their choice, though, his monogamy is his personal choice.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Despite not being his world, Shane can't help his need to assist others. So he'll likely lend it where healing is concerned ( this place needs no help with growing things after all ), but he has the ability to fight and hunt as needed as well.
