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.

--
Era fought Bahamut during the Battle of Carteneau and was saved from death by being sent into a rift in time and space. She woke up 5 years later with no memory.
She woke up on the outskirts of Ul'dah and was found by a traveling merchant who helped her choose a new name.
She joined the Adventurer's Guild and studied combat while traveling Eorzea.
She is invited to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and began slaying primals and fighting the Ascians.
With the Ascians defeated for the time being, Era and the Scions are forced to flee Ul'dah after being framed for regicide. The Scions are scattered and many thought dead, so an ally smuggled them into the Holy See of Ishgard.
While in Ishgard that Era befriended the noble House Fortemps as well as the Lord Commander Aymeric, and learned more about the Dragonsong War - a thousand year war between the Ishgardians and the Dravanians.
Era soon uncovered the truth behind the war and the Archbishop's plot to become a god himself. It was a whirlwind of quests to bring peace, ultimately ending in her killing both the Archbishop Thordan VII and Nidhogg - the two leaders of each warring faction.
By the end of the war, Era had made two new allies: Estinien, the Azure Dragoon, and Ysayle, leader of the 'Heretics'.
It was also during the war that her friend Haurchefant was killed. He took a killing blow meant for Era, saving her life. He died in her arms and it is her biggest regret.
The return of Thancred and Y'shtola, her fellow Scions, was a bright spot after the war.
Alphinaud's sister Alisaie was injured and brought to House Fortemps, beginning the saga of the Warriors of Darkness.
The Warriors of Darkness explained that they were once Warriors of Light just as she had been, but that the forces of Light and Dark were unbalanced now, threatening to destroy the world they hailed from. By destroying Era's world they would save their own.
Rumors of the Ala Mhigan resistance stockpiling crystals to summon Rhalgr lead Era to be reunited with Yda and Papalymo.
The Warriors of Darkness manipulated the beast tribes and forced a confrontation with Era and her companions. The battle ended when Hydaelyn summoned them all to her domain.
They encountered Minfillia, their former leader, who they had long suspected dead. Saying her goodbyes, Minfillia took the Warriors of Darkness back to their home and would continue serving as Hydaelyn's avatar alongside their former enemies.
The Scions continued with their mission in Little Ala Mhigo, reuniting with Yda and Papalymo. They failed at preventing the resistance from assaulting the Imperial stronghold of Baelsar's wall.
At the heart of the battle was old traitor Ilberd, using Nidhogg's eyes, the death of the battle, and his own death to summon the primal Shinryu.
Papalymo gave his life to bind the creature before it could destroy Eorzea. This was only a temporary measure. To eradicate the threat Shinryu posed, Era, the Scions, Cid, and the Garlean traitor Nero split up to re-activate the ancient Allag machine used to bind primals: Omega.
Omega had been summoned. There had been a fearsome fight between it and Shinryu, ending with them both crashing into the Garlean occupied city-state of Gyr Abania.
There was now no choice in the matter: The Scions of the Seventh Dawn and the Eorzean alliance had been drawn into the Ala Mhigan resistance. War was now inevitable.
