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 - Hanako 'Rosalina' Nurumi | Original Character
Your Plurk/DW/Discord Contact:
Invited By: Chinatown
Reserved Character/Canon: Hanako 'Rosalina' Nurumi, Original Character (Eudio CRAU)
Application (Eudio CRAU)
PLAYER NAME: Pudding
AGE: 25
CONTACT:
INVITED BY: Chinatown
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Hanako 'Rosalina' Nurumi
CANON: Original Character
CANON POINT: Ninth Life, in which Charlie is murdered and an attempt on Rose's life is made as well
CRAU: Yes (Eudio)
AGE: Chronologically: 339, Physically: Mid-20s
BACKGROUND:
POWERS:
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
EightSeven Dogs + A Cat A Growlithe, two Leonbergers, three Huskies, and one Akita. Plus, Charlie the Somali.SAMPLES:
Hello, Xistentia, Rosie has arrived. + Harassing Axel on the network.
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: Everything in Eudio was going great, until it wasn't. It started, at first, with a subtle 'glitch in the system.' Then it became more obvious something behind the scenes was wrong. Before they knew it, the representatives were evacuating everyone as fast as they could as the world around them began to fall apart at the seams. Rose was supposed to flee to Tamriel with Vanyel Greyjoy using the LINKS system, but for whatever reason the portal didn't take her there. Instead, it dropped her in Xistentia. How rude of it. At least it let her keep her dogs.
MORALITY: Rose is the epitome of chaotic good. Freedom and rights for all species is an extremely important driving force for her and she'll do anything to obtain this. She does everything that she does for what she believes to be this 'better' cause. The methods in which she goes about it all, however, can often times be a bit outside the realm of truly good though. For example, she believes murder is wrong... unless the person was without a shadow of a doubt deserving of it and the world is likely better off for their death. She also tends to forego traditional law-governing systems and take as much weight as possible on her own shoulders and vigilante her way through things. It's worked out so far. Mostly.
WAR ATTITUDES: Despite her leaning more towards peaceful resolutions and pacifism, Rose is not wholly opposed to have to fight when it's deemed necessary. If there is a threat to the safety of the people she loves and cares for she will absolutely fight to protect them. It's because of this that as long as she sees it as helping everyone she will definitely take part in missions and fighting should the need arise. In the down time, however, she will be happy to help with community building in the literal and figurative sense. Her strength Karaoke or open mic night at her house, anyone?
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Having spent a year in Eudio, Rose has come a long way in the intimate connections that she makes with others. Though she has some issues to resolve regarding romantic feelings, she is very open now to physical intimacy and closeness with people in that way. In fact, she might even be a little too into it. However, Eudio taught her the importance of boundaries. Plus, she had bad experiences in the past with having little to no control in situations so it's doubtful that she'd ever cross any set lines with people. Her interest lays is in cultivating positive relationships even if she has been known to butt heads with people occasionally over philosophical and moral differences.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Having spent many years in isolation in the Makai, Rose is aware that the particular skillset she gained during is going to be especially useful for hunting/gathering in Xistentia. She will likely try to take on a mentor role for others in ways of living off of and in tune with the land. It isn't the first time she has been a teacher (she worked at the Wolf's Den in Eudio, instructing in fighting practices) so she has experience with it and will do her best to at least have people versed in basic survival skills. How to make fire, what will and won't kill you if you try to eat it, etc.
Additionally, she will gladly go out for any exploratory missions whenever they are available. When you look up the word 'adventurous' in the dictionary, it is very possible that a picture of Hanako Rosalina Nurumi will be attached next to it. She lived a very nomadic life for some thirty years before Eudio. While it was a lifestyle originally born of necessity for her own safety, she grew to love life on the road. It was exciting to seek out new places, meet new people, and experience new cultures. So, it's very likely that in Xistentia she will go back to her roaming ways and be very interested in exploring and potentially mapping the place they've found themselves in.
