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.
Reserve - Katniss Everdeen | The Hunger Games (CRAU)
Your Plurk/DW/Discord Contact:
Invited By: Chinatown and Ellie
Reserved Character/Canon: Katniss Everdeen / The Hunger Games (CRAU)
Application (Eudio CRAU)
PLAYER NAME: Jenny.
AGE: 27.
CONTACT:
INVITED BY: Chinatown and Ellie.
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Katniss Everdeen.
CANON: The Hunger Games.
CANON POINT: At the end of chapter 24 of Mockingjay, just after the second round of bombings kill the rebel medics, including Katniss's sister.
CRAU: Yes, from
AGE: Canonicly 17, but due to Eudio's character age requirements she was aged up to 18.
BACKGROUND:
POWERS:
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
SAMPLES: A log thread from Eudio and her tdm thread from Xistentia (which is mostly networky)!
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: Katniss was not with/did not leave with anyone in particular when Eudio started collapsing, but did witness the physical destruction (ala natural disaster-type events, like earthquakes) that many of the Eudio CRAU folks witnessed. She opted to leave via portal, expecting to end up back in Panem.
MORALITY: Due to a hard life in Panem and being forced into the Hunger Games twice, plus ending up the leader of the rebellion/war against the Capitol, there is very little Katniss would not do to save her own life/the lives of those she cares deeply for. That said, she does not actively take any sort of enjoyment in deceiving people or causing them harm, emotionally or physically, and will do what she can to avoid that if she sees another potential option. As has been seen in the end of her first Games and in her desire to keep Peeta alive in the Quarter Quell at the guarantee of her own death, Katniss is willing to sacrifice herself if it means protecting someone she loves.
WAR ATTITUDES: War is not something that Katniss had ever planned on being a part of, nor something she ever imagined wanting to be a part of. But if the situation requires her to fight and she feels the end result/goal is a worthy cause, she will take up arms and fight until either she dies, the goal is achieved, or something about the playing field changes. So Katniss will definitely be interested in missions and fighting, so long as she doesn't see it as pointless bloodshed. Otherwise she will stay in the city/city limits to help rebuild.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Katniss struggles a lot with intimate relationships, even if they're just friendly, because she's a grumpy, antagonistic brat that doesn't know how to charm people. That said, she cherishes the friendships/relationships she has and actively tries to strengthen them. She's also coming in from Eudio where she was trying her hardest to get past her shortcomings, which she will continue fighting against in Xistentia. Especially if that's what will help better the city.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: A brief list of things Katniss would willingly offer to do, and even be pretty damn good at: archery lessons (she was doing that in Eudio), hunting/trapping for food (and teaching others how to do it as well), exploration (she loves the forest), and taking up arms when necessary/she feels it necessary. She's also used to living in a rather desolate world with scavenging and hunting being the main source of food supply, so she'll be pretty comfortable helping get food for the others, although the animals and plants of Xistentia are different than back home.
