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.
REVISIONS
Hello! Thank you very much for your application. Overall, things are looking good, but we would like to seek clarification on a couple of points. Specifically:
- Our application specifies that important CRAU or CRAU trajectory be summarized in the Background section.
- We would to define the upper limits on his physical enhancements. For example, can he lift a car or throw one? Can he move too quickly for the eye to follow, or just twice an Olympian sprinter’s speed?
- For the Exit Strategy question, we would like to know how did D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. appear in Eudio?
- For the Morality question, we’d like to know why did Aric evolve? What sort of event would regress him?
- For the Intimate Relationships question, there is a subquestion about what obstacles might get in the way of such relationships, and we’d like to know what kind of obstacles would Aric face in building these relationships - platonic or romantic.
Please drop us a few bullet points or paragraphs in a reply to this comment!no subject
In canon, he had no known limits. In eudio he was under the restrictions that his power would be limited to the amount to destroy a small car. I would guess that would mean he could lift and throw one but he's not likely to in any case. His speed is more connected with his dexterity than with movement across space. His swordsmanship tends to be described as hard to follow with the swift movements.
Stuff started falling apart when D.E.S.T.I.N.Y appeared in Eudio? I'm not sure what else you want there.
Well, he started off a normal human and has been in battle royale esque battles time and time again over 2,000 years and that has evolved him into an efficient killing machine who hates killing. There's really nothing that would or should regress him? He never killed for fun, it was always for survival.
The only obstacle he has on the romance front is the person he loves is quite difficult and self destructive so he has to weather that which he is willing to do. There is not much that gets in his way platonically aside from that he's quiet and so people do mistake it for lack of interest at times.

The only outstanding question seems to be how D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. appeared. This can be very brief, but 'things fall apart' may be confusing as it can imply everything from disintegrating human flesh to collapsing buildings. What we would like is at least 1 specific or evocative line or phrase about D.E.S.T.I.N.Y.'s appearance. For example:
A windstorm- An invading army carrying lasers
- An earthquake
- The buildings crumble into lava
As you are part of a group app feel free to talk to the other players and maybe they can help you if you're unclear about the circumstances of their departure.no subject
