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 - Tony Stark [Marvel Cinematic Universe]
Your Plurk/DW/Discord Contact:
Reserved Character/Canon: Tony Stark / Marvel Cinematic Universe
no subject
PLAYER NAME: Chinatown
AGE: like 30
CONTACT:
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Anthony Stark AKA Tony
CANON: Marvel Cinematic Universe
CANON POINT: During Spiderman: Homecoming just after the scene where he takes the suit back from Peter, having chastised him, and sends him home
CRAU: No
AGE: 45
BACKGROUND:
POWERS: Tony's main 'power's have always been extremely high intelligence and equally extreme wealth. With those combined, he could create equipment that gave him the ability to go toe to toe with some of the most powerful Enhanced in the universe.
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
- A nice suit and other undergarments, shoes, etc. to make outfit
- Iron man suit
- Set of 20 portable small thrusters
- Small jet
- A rudimentary version of Friday, his AI companion, to become his daemon; the body will look like an awkward human android (along the lines of Vision but more rudimentary) who may eventually be upgraded to look more seamlessly (but creepily) human
SAMPLES:- Log with Skye from Systemwide
- In-universe network post:
In-Universe:EXIT STRATEGY: The world ended with red-armored military forces that wouldn't stop and raging electrical storms that overwhelmed the vast majority of even Tony's powerfully protected tech. Tony actually took Steve up on his offer at end of Civil War and brought the gang back together in hopes of fighting them off, but it was futile. In the end, Tony packed everyone into a jet he'd devised in the last final moments of the world-- unbeknownst to him, divine inspriation (F.A.T.E.S.) had struck and allowed it to jump worlds. Less cool: he was alone when he fell into the world.
MORALITY: Tony is an inconvenient and self-frustrating paradox— a person motivated by vast remorse from having enabled terrible loss of life in the past, and even profited on it, and almost obsessive in his pursuit of redemption. However, he is so emotionally fused to this journey and the past that his heart tends to screw with his incredible brain, recruiting his egotism, and he'll tend to miss the forest for the trees. After all, he is still entrenched in violence himself and feels terrible for it; he'll imprison Enhanced because he feels responsible for what they have done to alleviate his own guilt rather than coolly examine problems and procedures; he'll break a spider teen's heart to protect his life and limb because he gets mad when he's scared. A suitable metaphor might be that he scores high on Knowledge and poor on Wisdom, which darkens his morality to a murky grey despite its sparkling intentions.
WAR ATTITUDES: You might say war is in Tony's blood, given his family business was directly involved in supplying weapons that killed soldiers of all countries around the world back home. It's a legacy Tony both struggles against and nonetheless has an unique, uncanny knack for, especially in terms of creating weapons. Whether those weapons are always lethal or focus instead on capture, containment, etc., they are always weapons. He fundamentally believes that violence is often a necessary answer to hard questions, although since Civil War he has begun to think more and more about finding the line where it is not. Relevantly, he's also adept at lying.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: In romantic relationships, Tony is a disaster. He spent most of his life with short, fiery affairs and casual one-night-stands, which he considered mutually beneficial despite some part of him knowing, for sure, that he broke a few hearts along the way. In recent years, since becoming a somewhat more authentically avoidant and troubled person (as opposed to a faking it til you make it kind of avoidant and troubled person), he fell in love with Pepper Potts. He has had a long and contentious relationship with her, off-again on-again, a mess of clashing priorities and poor communication. In Xist, he'll be hung up on her, but also more capable of genuine feelings with others. With regard to friendship, he's-- similar, actually, direly missing his old friends, especially Rhodey but including the Avengers. He feels he has unfinished business especially with Steve.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Tony tends to use his mechanical brilliance and creative genius for destructive purposes, but he is also very capable of contributing to civilian prosperity, such as his renewable energy project. All of it is guilt motivated and he is guilt to motivate him for days. Years. Centuries, but luckily he won't live that long! So just years. He'll make AI tractors and a flying train and all kinds of other stuff for the city, given the chance.
