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.

Invited By: chinatown.
Reserved Character/Canon: andrew minyard / all for the game
ANDREW MINYARD. ▎all for the game ( eudiocrau )
PLAYER NAME: shari
AGE: 24
CONTACT:
INVITED BY: china.
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: andrew minyard
CANON: all for the game.
CANON POINT: mid the raven king.
CRAU: Yes
AGE: 20
BACKGROUND:
POWERS: skilled with a knife. otherwise human.
STARTING EQUIPMENT: Mulder ( listed with Axel ), his daemon Phoned which is a gray flip burner phone, a few packs of cigarettes, some bags of cracker dust ( canon drug ). Andrew's regular outfit consists of black clothes, with a long sleeved shirt hiding two black arm bands that extend from his wrist to his elbow on either side. Under that are some number of knives tucked away in case of a fight.
SAMPLES: action and text ( eudio ).
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: Andrew is arriving with Axel Johnson. When the D.E.S.T.I.N.Y virus began to manifest in Eudio, they figured out that maybe a way out could be had via the city's volunteer intake technology, and made their escape through the portal.
MORALITY: Andrew's morality is a bit difficult to define -- he is not a ruthless person, but he isn't kind or gentle, either. Gray is a good way to describe all things that become him, his morals included. His hard 'I would never' would definitely have to relate back to his issues with consent, but even that much you have to earn from him, once he trusts someone not to hurt those he's close with. There's a trial period with Andrew, but if you aren't evil, you'll pass. He is a good person who doesn't mind doing bad things to get a better end result, due to the fact that Andrew doesn't believe he's a good person at all. He would do literally anything for the people he cares about, but it isn't a very hopeful or emotional connection. Instead, it's possessive, where he considers the people he protects to be part of his property and the morals he instills to protect them are simply getting people to stop touching his things.
WAR ATTITUDES: Andrew is not keen on the idea of staying in this place, which means he won't be looking to settle down anytime soon. Although he won't be the leader of any missions or fighting, he'll likely consider tagging along, if it might means he'll leave this place. If not, he's more likely to stay largely uninvolved, likely helping Axel out with his restoration methods. Ultimately, I think he will inevitably settle here, a bit, despite his initial loathing.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: All of this is a fairly moot point, because Andrew is not interested in any shipping or intimacy, provided that he is here with his romantic partner, Axel. He would not consider himself available emotionally to anyone else, and generally acts this way in response to friendship and casual acquaintances, too.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Andrew isn't a very community-orientated person, but I could see him training people to fight and learning how to further his skills, too. He also has this habit in canon of trying ( and succeeding ) at fixing all he teammates' problems, generally by being a giant asshole.
