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 | Toothiana | Rise of the Guardians
Your Plurk/DW/Discord Contact:
Reserved Character/Canon: Toothiana / Rise of the Guardians
no subject
PLAYER NAME: Pudding
AGE: 26
CONTACT:
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Toothiana
CANON: Rise of the Guardians / Guardians of Childhood
CANON POINT: Before the resolution of the final battle with Pitch Black.
CRAU: No
AGE: Toothiana's actual age is never canonically stated but I play her as about 800+ years old. She looks to be in her late teens/early twenties.
BACKGROUND:
POWERS:
→ Toothiana is able to fly using her wings. Being half hummingbird, she is quick and agile during flight. Her wings are also as sharp as blades. She can use them when fighting if she needs to.
→ She has superhuman strength and agility. While she may not be as strong as, say, North you don't want to challenge her to an arm-wrestling contest. Her speed can make her seem like a blur to the regular eye sometimes but she is not always that quick.
→ Tooth is able to make miniature copies of herself. These tiny fairies are the ones who collect the teeth when she does not herself. The amount of them varies as they are equivalent to the amount of children's teeth that need to be gathered each night. She has a telepathic link with these tiny versions of her and can command them with only her mind.
→ Toothina and her fairies are the only ones able to unlock someone's memories using their teeth besides the person themselves.
→ She can speak every language that there is on Earth and also communicate with any Earth animals. She can learn other non-Earth languages, too, if given the opportunity and time.
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
Nothing but the feathers on her back and her daemon Asterd. The daemon is a replica of her dear friend E. Aster Bunnymund, in his weakened state due to a lack of belief in him after a failed Easter.
SAMPLES: 1 (Action), 2 (Text)
In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: Imagine a scenario where Pitch Black got exactly what he wanted: a world cold, dark, and full of nightmares. That's exactly what Toothiana is coming from. Despite her and her fellow Guardian's valiant efforts, they simply weren't strong enough to fight back against Pitch with belief in them dwindling to practically nothing. North managed to throw out a snow globe portal just before things took a turn for the worst. Toothiana, however, appears to be the only one to have made it to Xistentia (despite the appearance of her daemon, it's unfortunately not the Bunnymund she knows).
MORALITY: Toothiana is an example of lawful good character. She has a strong sense of duty when it comes to her responsibilities as the Guardian of Memories. The woman also has no shortage of pride in her work. Sometimes to a fault. She also respects and follows strictly the code set by the Man in the Moon with regards to her title. Still, she is compassionate and cares deeply for the children she's been tasked with protecting. She would never do anything to harm them or to lessen their belief in her if she can help it.
WAR ATTITUDES: The Sisters of Flight were known for the prowess in combat and Toothiana is not exception. She has her mother's warrior blood in her. As such, she will likely not hesitate to fight if the opportunity presents itself. And especially so if it threatens the safety of those present in Xistentia. Honestly, she'd probably prefer to be at the front lines and actively doing something to help restore her world instead of hanging back in the city.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Toothiana is a very tactile person to begin with. By nature, she is very affectionate when it comes to those she is familiar with and even those she's not. She doesn't seem to understand the concept of a 'personal bubble', as she has her hands on Jack Frost's shoulder (and also poking around his mouth) within minutes of meeting him. While very physically intimate, emotionally is a bit trickier. For one thing, she used to going unseen by anyone but children. She is also long-lived and spent most of her life independently. Even as part of the Guardians, they tend to operate on their own schedules and only see each other rarely. So it might be hard to get out of that mindset at first. That isn't to say she isn't friendly, however, and is certainly willing to give new relationships a chance. She'll likely be excited at the prospect of being seen by adults for the first time in centuries and actually able to make connections with others.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: While she is more suited to battle, Toothiana has some practical skills. She can craft jewelry out of gems and feathers, which a resident crafter (*cough*Era*cough*) might be able to turn into accessories to boost people's skills. And, of course, she will likely take on the task of being Xistentia's local dentistry expert! She'll make sure everyone is brushing their teeth, flossing, and just overall improve the quality of dental hygiene in this city. You're welcome.
