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.

PLAYER NAME: Charlie
AGE: 28

INVITED BY: April & China
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Alec Lightwood
CANON: Shadowhunters (TV)
CANON POINT: The end of season 2a, so after reuniting with Magnus and having a conversation with Jace.
CRAU: Yes, from
AGE: 23
BACKGROUND:
POWERS:
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
» Sophiad, daemon in snow leopard form.
» Bow & arrows.
» Seraph blade.
» Stele.
SAMPLES: action; network.
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: Alec, along with Magnus (
MORALITY: Alec has a very strong moral belief system, with a good sense of what is right and wrong. While he can be driven by his more negative emotions, he's stubborn about crossing lines he's not willing to cross, going as far as challenging authority figures when he believes them to be in the wrong. He will not hesitate to put anyone promptly in their place, even willing to physically fight someone to stop them. However, there's very little he wouldn't do for his family and loved ones: if Alec can be pushed to doing something he doesn't find moral, it would be for the sake of keeping the people he loves safe.
WAR ATTITUDES: Alec is a trained soldier. His life so far has been spent leading groups of Shadowhunters into combat and missions to insure the safety of humanity. While he had a higher ranked position for some time and is capable of leading and being responsible for a group, Alec has had hours of terrain experience and will be a good addition to any mission, regardless of his position within the team. He'll be actively seeking to participate in the protection of the city and it's refugees, while helping the community on any allowed downtime.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Romantically speaking, Alec is married to Magnus and will not be creating other romantic bonds. His time in Eudio has however opened his mind in regards to friendship with people outside of his society, regardless of their kind and origins, as well as having allowed him to step outside of his comfort zone. He'll be forging bonds with new people and strengthening pre-existing friendships. Alec is more open to getting to know people than he's ever been, but this does not mean he'll get along with everyone. Some of his traits may cause him to clash with others, though this will never get in the way of any duties or cause for him to let someone come to harm.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: While Alec will be participating in missions and fighting to keep the community safe, he will also participate in a more direct way by offering lessons in weapon use, archery, and combat to anyone who wishes. Long term, he might seek to establish some kind of organization with the other refugees, so there's a semblance of order and law established. Not only that, but Alec is curious and suspicious by nature, and would like to learn about the world they're in, the threat they're fighting, and what D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. and F.A.T.E.S. consist of in as much detail as possible. He will as easily sign up for exploration and recon as he would for battle.
