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 - Declan Lynch | The Raven Cycle
Your Plurk/DW/Discord Contact:
Invited By: Sarah (
Reserved Character/Canon: Declan Lynch | The Raven Cycle
Application - Declan Lynch | The Raven Cycle
PLAYER NAME: Mici
AGE: Over 18
CONTACT:
INVITED BY: Sarah (
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Declan Lynch
CANON: The Raven Cycle
CANON POINT: Post The Raven King
CRAU: No
AGE: 19
BACKGROUND:
POWERS: N/A - Declan is a normal normal normal human.
STARTING EQUIPMENT: Daemon: Remaind - white barn owl
SAMPLES: Sample 1 (TDM/in universe)
Sample 2 (in canon universe)
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: While one brother was being unmade by a demon and the other brother (the one near him, that is to say, Matthew, who was being also unmade by the same demon) the unmaking started to spread. In that time and while Matthew was coming literally undone (booooo) Declan got up to try and find something - anything - to stop this, and found, instead, a portal. Hoping to find help, because his life is a magical shitshow and he’s the only normal thing in it, instead he found, well. This.
MORALITY: Declan is extremely family oriented, despite the fact that some might not believe so, and he’s also intensely protective of the people in that family. Even when he’s fighting with or not speaking to or strictly on punching terms with them, he’s still keeping an eye out. His morality is always to protect his family, and he’ll do anything for that (which includes killing people). He’s pragmatic to the core, doing what needs to be done, without heed for his own comfort (he did, after all, allow a fight with his brother to wage for two years instead of sitting Ronan down and explaining why Niall chose what he chose for their family, which might have actually saved everyone a lot of grief, for the sake of keeping Ronan a little innocent a little longer of his father’s carelessness). In that regard, his morality always turns to what needs to be done. It must also be said that he has a politician's heart and so he is driven by his ambition as well.
WAR ATTITUDES: Declan is a fighter in as much as he’ll fight for his family, and that being his family survival. This doesn’t mean he’s passive, and he understands that survival can mean the survival of his whole world, so he’ll likely take an interest in the needs of fighting D.E.S.T.I.N.Y to perpetuate his own world and to protect it for that reason. His pragmatic side will absolutely see a need to establish himself well here, so he wouldn’t just be for that, however, and he would take an interest in the affairs of this world as well.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Declan is pretty bad at intimate relationships, possibly due to the fact that he was raised to keep an eye out on his brothers. This isn’t to say that he’s not good at faking it, however, and has been said to be a bit of a playboy (man-whore is actually the term used) when it comes to ladies. He makes friends fast, because he’s extremely charming, but those relationships seem to mostly be on a surface level in his own world, because naturally, he has so many secrets that he absolutely needs to protect, particularly the ones surrounding his brothers and his family. In this one, he might be willing to be a bit more open if the relationship becomes particularly meaningful, but it would take a great deal of work. Romantic relationships are absolutely possible, but in general will likely be very easygoing affairs; Declan has a particularly low perception of love when it comes to himself.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: He’s likely to really get involved in the situation of his family’s involvement, which is to say: he’ll always do whatever needs to be done to protect them. If that means getting involved in missions, then that’s what he’ll do. As pragmatic as he is, he’ll likely measure everything out in terms of value, both in value for him, and value for the greater good. He’s a politician at heart so part of him would want to get involved in that as well - not necessarily politics, but in the inevitable leadership that would arise from a situation like this one, with a very distinct bent of personal gain as the end result.
