PLEASE READ:
ALLOWED CHARACTERS

APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!
Notes:
  • 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!
Please do not link from your journal, make sure all the content is pasted into the comment(s).

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?


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

PLEASE NO

Agents of D.E.S.T.I.N.Y., those secretly affiliated with the virus
✘ 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.

IC:

CHARACTER NAME: Wyatt Lawson
CANON: Original
CANON POINT: Shortly after being brought to the Kingdom of Vampires and being adopted into the local werewolf pack by Hunter and Henry.
CRAU: No
AGE: 18
BACKGROUND:
World Information | State of the World.


Wyatt grew up in a version of Earth where werewolves, vampires, and other supernatural creatures live alongside humans. For most of this world's history, humans were unaware of the existence of the others. However, this changed when a pair of vampires, Rafaello d'Este and Nikolai Rurikid, revealed themselves, along with their coven, to the humans. This took place within Wyatt's lifetime; he was a young child when it happened. The world that Wyatt has grown up in is one that is still acclimatising to this revelation; humans know that they are not alone, and some are more friendly towards their supernatural brethren than others.

Wyatt was born a werewolf, and grew up as part of a wolf pack that travelled around the country and rarely stayed in any one place for too long. This was a deliberate choice of their pack Alpha, who was wary of humans and how they might react to the pack. As a result, Wyatt had very little contact with humans in his early years, and was strictly taught not to approach them in his wolf form. He learned early on how to control his lupine instincts, and the pack's avoidance of humanity was strictly enforced.

This didn't always sit well with the young Wyatt. Naive and inexperienced, he looked at the human world as something to be desired, and as he grew older he resented his pack Alpha for keeping him from it. While still a young teenager, he challenged one decision too many and found himself accused of challenging the authority of the Alpha. Wyatt had regrets before they even started to fight, but it was too late to take back what he'd said. He was forced to fight, and lost badly. As a result, he found himself ejected from his pack, and was forced to strike out on his own.

He quickly discovered the human world was not as welcoming as he'd hoped. Angry with himself for what he'd lost, he tried to seek a new pack. He'd never been alone before, and though he didn't want to admit it, he was afraid. He spent a couple of years living rough in human towns, keeping more or less to the nomadic lifestyle he'd always been taught. Eventually he found something of a place for himself on the streets of New York, where he fell in with a group of other young people with nowhere else to go. He got involved in petty crime, earning cash to survive by selling drugs, fake IDs, alcohol and other contraband.

While living there, he was found by the werewolf Hunter, who was visiting the city as an envoy for the Kingdom of Vampires. Wyatt at first was distrustful, wary of involving himself with vampires in general, and unsure of whether he was willing to risk things going poorly with another pack. However, he still missed being part of a pack, and eventually he agreed to go with Hunter. He was brought to a pack whose alpha was Hunter's mate, Henry, and which included not only ordinary werewolves, but werewolves who had become hybrids with vampires, too. Many of them had also lost their original packs, and had created a new life as allies of the Kingdom. Wyatt was convinced that he might have a second chance here, and was adopted into the pack. Hunter and Henry became like adoptive parents to Wyatt, and gave him a new surrogate family. Wyatt will come to Xistentia shortly after finding his place there, thus losing his home for the second time.

Note: I also play Rafaello d'Este in game, who is part of Wyatt's world and is one of the kings in the Kingdom he lives in. Wyatt's interactions in that world are primarily with the other werewolves, mainly Hunter and Henry, and the friends he makes there. His interactions with Rafa are minimal and always handwaved since I play them both; they are mainly connected through both of them having an attachment to Hunter. Wyatt chiefly sees Rafa as his King, while Rafa sees him as a subject and someone important to Hunter. While they care about each other and are loyal to each other, this is as far as their relationship goes. Their interactions would continue to be handwaved here.

POWERS:

Wyatt is a werewolf. This means:

Powers

  • Wolf shift: Wyatt can transform into a wolf. He must turn at the full moon, but can shift willingly at other times. He is twice the size of a normal wolf and is stronger and faster, able to lift approximately 1 ton.

  • Physical enhancements: Werewolves have enhanced regeneration, strength, speed, and senses. These are more powerful when they shift. They have nightvision, ultrasonic hearing, can track by scent, and heal without a scar.

  • Pack bond: Werewolves have an innate desire to form packs. They become attached to packmates, developing a mental link that helps them communicate. Packs are hierarchical; wolves will answer to an alpha, and react to more dominant personalities. Broken pack bonds are very damaging; the loss of Wyatt's first pack left him with lasting trauma.

  • Infectious bite: Bites that break the skin are infectious, and can turn people into werewolves. Wyatt is strongly opposed to turning others and is unlikely to do it while in his right mind. This power will be included in his permissions post.


Weaknesses

  • Harmful substances: Werewolves can be burned or poisoned by silver, wolfsbane, and certain cursed objects. Such injuries will heal more slowly and leave scars.

  • Sensory overload: A drawback to enhanced senses.

  • High metabolism: Wyatt needs a lot of fuel to keep himself going. It takes more to get him drunk, high, or tired than a typical human.

  • Biological urges: He has a heightened sexual awareness of werewolves experiencing heat. He knows enough about it to control himself, but the instinct is still there.

  • Loss of control: Wyatt has a very high degree of control over his shifting thanks to being raised among other werewolves. Under normal circumstances he does not present a threat to humans, though there is still potential for him to lose control.


STARTING EQUIPMENT:
  • Daemon: A large black wolf, around twice the size of a normal wolf, and named 'Hunterd'. It looks exactly like the werewolf form of Wyatt's adoptive dad, Hunter.

  • Clothes: A pair of old, belted ripped jeans, faded sneakers, and a white t-shirt under a threadbare red hooded sweatshirt. All second hand, a little too big for him.

  • Wallet: Plain and black, containing a small amount of Czech cash, a credit card, and various fast food loyalty cards.

  • iPhone.

  • A bag full of weed, a packet of cigarettes and a small disposable lighter.
