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 - Will Solace - Eudio CRAU
PLAYER NAME: Riley
AGE: 18+
CONTACT: unwrittengold on plurk
INVITED BY: April
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Will Solace
CANON: Camp Half-Blood Chronicles
CANON POINT: Post-The Hidden Oracle
CRAU: Yes - Eudio
AGE: 18
BACKGROUND:
POWERS:
- Natural talents: He has a few things he's naturally talented in as a son of Apollo, although not nearly as much as his siblings (he's more of a healer). These are archery, athleticism, and music.
- Healing abilities: He can sense what is wrong with someone physically through touch and channel healing energy into them to help them heal faster, although doing so physically drains him. There is a limit as to how much healing he can do to save someone - if it's something along the lines of what a regular doctor can do quickly to save someone's life, Will can do it with a speedier recovery for the patient but he can't perform a miracle. For example, if someone has a wound that he can't patch up quick enough to prevent too much blood loss or if someone has been poisoned and the poison has spread too deep, he can't save them.
- Other healing knowledge: He knows how to do a variety of 'normal' medical things like bandaging wounds, setting broken bones, stitching people up, and even performing surgery as complicated as reattaching limbs. He also has some demigod medicinal things, like a silver paste he smears over a poisoned wound and medicinal gum he says will keep someone 'alive and alert' for awhile when they're close to passing out from overexertion.
- Misc. stuff: Can curse people to speak in rhyming couplets. Can do a loud ultrasonic whistle that hurts people's ears and stuns them slightly. Almost all demigods are said to have ADHD and dyslexia because they have innate battle reflexes and their brains are hardwired to read Ancient Greek, but Will doesn't have these as noticeably as some other demigods do.
STARTING EQUIPMENT: His daemon is going to be an male orange tabby cat he is going to dub Garfield and probably just call it Gar for short. Bow and arrows, celestial bronze dagger, his medical bag containing first aid supplies and other stuff of his own making like what's described above in his abilities section, bottle of nectar and a bag of ambrosia for demigod healing, and his guitar.
SAMPLES: Network from the TDM and Actionspam from Eudio
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: Eudio was literally falling apart due to severe storms and earthquakes, so Will found Nico and the two of them tried to find anyone else they knew to make sure the people they cared about were okay and getting out too. However, a stray rock from a falling apart building hit Will in the head, resulting in his head bleeding enough to stun him for a little bit and also freak Nico out, so Nico grabbed him and shadow travelled them away. Nico will either arrive with him or have gotten separated from him somehow during the transition (Unsure if Nico player is planning to app this round too or is going to do so later).
MORALITY: Will's self-defined morals and actual limits are pretty much the same. He's a selfless healer who will do whatever he can to save someone, running into battle without question to act as a combat medic. Killing someone is only something you do if there is absolutely no other option left. He'll put his life in danger with no problem if it means he can help or save people. He is the kind of person who, if forced to chose between saving the person most important to him or saving 100 other people, he would save the 100 other people even if it would emotionally destroy him to do so. If people are fighting, no matter how violent it got, he'd try to diffuse the situation with talking first or try to physically step in and break up the fight if there was physical fighting. While he has looked the other way when people do things for personal benefit sometimes, he only does that if what they're doing isn't going to hurt anyone. He doesn't agree with breaking laws like stealing, but in an emergency situation, he'll do so if it's necessary to help someone - for example when he told someone to go steal medical supplies during a major battle but insisted that they leave money behind to pay for it.
WAR ATTITUDES: Will would be interested in both helping to build the community and going out on missions. He's lived through two wars of which he participated in at least three major battles as an archer and a combat medic, so he wouldn't shrink away from going along on missions to make sure people don't die on them if something bad happens. While he's not a front line fighter, he is capable of reasonably defending himself.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Will is absolutely open to positive relationships. He's calm, friendly, caring, and not opposed at all to physical affection. With friends, he'll hug them with no problem and he wouldn't have a problem hugging a complete stranger he just met either. As far as anything beyond that, he'd need to know them more before he'd be comfortable kissing them and he'd only sleep with someone he genuinely wanted to be intimate with. He sometimes pushes people to consider stepping out of their personal comfort zones but he'd never push someone to do something they were truly uncomfortable with or flat out didn't want to do. There wouldn't be a lot of obstacles he'd face in regards to this - for example, he's completely fine with his boyfriend seeing other people. Will gets along with just about everyone. He's even shown calming down the camp bully in the series he's from. He'd much rather make friends than enemies.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Will would absolutely throw himself into the role of being a healer. He's well experienced with it back home and while he appreciated the break he had at Eudio from the intensity of being his camp's best combat medic, being one has been his life for probably a good solid five years or so. He would immediately step back into the role. He'd be interested in exploring and discovering things, but he'd also want to set up some sort of health clinic if there isn't one, to make sure people have a place they can go to if they're hurt or sick.
