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.

CHARACTER NAME: Hunter Lawson
CANON: Original
CANON POINT: post fae war
CRAU: Yes
AGE: 284
BACKGROUND:
  • Born to a small pack outside a town. The pack and the villagers had a tenuous peace built on the pack protecting the village and the villagers shared their food with the pack.
  • Hunter met a boy. Their first, and only, time together resulted in the boy's father catching them. To protect himself, the boy blamed Hunter for the incident. The village became angered and wanted to eradicate the werewolf menace in their area. To protect themselves, his pack exiled him.
  • Eventually comes to a forest that houses a door to fae guarded by vampires.
  • Meets another werewolf, Jessie, who welcomes him into her small pack of only herself and one other, Hoxley. A gathering of misfit werewolves finding a home among vampires.
  • Finds a lone wolf out in the woods. Wolf turns out to be dangerous and uncontrollable. Turns out, he's a human that was turned into a werewolf. Hunter ends up bringing the unconscious man back to the pack in the morning. Henry then decides to join the pack, hoping to find some stability in his life.
  • Finally attends a party at the vampire's home where he meets the vampire prince, Rafaello d'Este.
  • The two spend a wonderful night together. Hunter always had a bit of a crush on Rafa, and was surprised the vampire was interested in him at all. Having just lost one of his great loves in a fae battle that had taken place before Hunter's arrival, Hunter tried not to put too much stock in the relationship.
  • Meets Lucas, a local vampire that Hunter finds a fast connection with.
  • Over time, Hunter starts to develop insecurities. More like they had already existed, but slowly they start to worsen and his emotional health deteriorates quickly. He turns to Lucas to help numb the pain and chase the darkness away.
  • cw: suicidal ideation: Eventually, the pain starts to feel too much. Hunter decides to ask Lucas to help him end his life, only to be caught by Rafa and Henry both who stop him.
  • The emotional damage done, Hunter struggles to recover to who he once was. He now realizes he was never that person, and these issues can't be buried anymore.
  • Seeing his struggle, Rafa ends the relationship in order to give Hunter space to heal and imagining himself to be part of the problem. Hunter stays with the pack, and ends up becoming Rafa's bodyguard.
  • Once Rafa returns to Sicily to dethrone his father, Rafa's adoptive sister, Lark, takes Hunter under her tutelage.
  • Takes the leap to be turned into a vampire/werewolf hybrid after Jessie was the first.
  • Hunter spends the next few centuries focusing on himself, Henry, and his training. Becomes an effective and dangerous soldier during this time and marries Henry as well. Eventually, the capital of Rafa and his fellow king, Nikolai's, empire is moved to Prague.
  • When it turns out Lark never fully recovered from her captivity in fae, Hunter replaces her as general for the new empire's army.
  • The door starts to open again, and Rafa's missing lover, Shane, is returned. The gap between himself and Rafa feels even larger now, until Shane helps advise Rafa to rekindle things with Hunter.
  • Hunter and Rafa eventually marry.
  • Rafa finds a quieter way to end his war with the water fae in Italy, earning allies to defeat the winged fae in England.
  • Hunter aids in the war that ultimately results in the death of the dark fae queen Belladonna, replaced by a king named Eran, the brother of Shane.
  • Henry takes over as pack leader with Hunter's support.
  • Hunter tries to assist Rafa as an envoy, instead ends up bringing back Koda, a faerie/incubus whom he's fallen in love with, and Wyatt on another trip, a young werewolf whom he and Henry adopt.
  • Life's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close and Hunter loves it.


EUDIO CRAU:
  • Goes to Eudio in order to find "a peaceful end to the war at home." He's seen too much of what the war has cost those he loves, and he wanted the war to end. He also wanted it to end in a way that would spare those he loved any further pain.
  • Gets a growlithe and names it Hoxley after his dad.
  • Also reunites with Rafa during their breakup. Eventually the two patch it up together.
  • Formed deep relationships with others he considers to be family, such as Vex, Mark, Alec, and Magnus.
  • Marries Rafa ( the first time ) in Eudio with Vex as his best man.
  • Works at the Wolf's Den and the Bloody Mystic, ends up becoming co-owner of the Bloody Mystic and the Wolf's Den briefly.

POWERS:
  • Stamina & Strength: a little stronger than a typical vampire and able to take a beating a lot better, it takes a lot to get a hybrid down.
  • Immortal: impervious to sickness and aging
  • Better senses: his sense of smell is best of all, but his sight and hearing are also heightened for better hunting purposes.
  • Wolf form: he's able to fully transform into a fairly large black wolf, larger than the average wolf. He can also extend his claws and teeth at will without fully turning.
  • Addictive blood: his blood can get someone high, and too much of it can turn them into a thrall that desires only his blood and will do anything for it.
  • Incubus blood: no real effect on powers, but does enhance his natural features, gives him bright eyes that do tend to glow, and increases his libido.


weaknesses
  • Stakes/beheading/fire: typical vampire weaknesses that still effect him to a full degree
  • Sunlight: he can stand to be in the sun, but he's sensitive to it and can't be out in it for too long.
  • Thirst: he needs both human blood AND human food in order to survive
  • Magic: not as badly affected as a vampire, but still can make him ill and weaken him in a fight
  • Religious iconography: same as magic, to a degree but not nearly so bad.

STARTING EQUIPMENT:
  • the clothes on his back
  • a cellphone
  • loose change
  • a growlithe named Hoxley (that's going to evolve into an Arcanine)
  • daemon named marshmellowd found here

SAMPLES:
Log from Eudio Test Drive
network sample:
[ Hunter really hates trying to figure out how to text on this keyboard, so he's going to go with a video instead.

Once it starts up, he runs his hand through his hair to push his bangs back, staring into the camera.... eyes of his daemon. ]
Is it good? We good?

I am recording, yes. You are "good."

Okay, cool. Sweet. So yeah.... [ Leans back a bit more so he's not directly in the camera's face. ]

Holy fucking shit.

Well, that was one hell of a trip.

So sound off if you're still alive out there? Also sound off if talking into a bunny isn't just a little bit weird. No? Just me? [ He breaks out in a grin and leans in real close to the camera. The sound of fur being ruffled can be heard as his hand settles on the head of the daemon. ] I'm just playing. Mellow knows I like him, don't you Mellow?

It's Marshmellowd. And if you say so, then I know it.

See? [ Leans back, and sighs, looking around at his wild surroundings. Smile fading just a little bit. ] But really, what's up? What can I do to help? Let me know, guys.

In-Universe:
EXIT STRATEGY: Hunter had been in Eudio when the worlds began to fall apart. Having learned that multiple worlds were affected, he tried to go home with his husband, Rafa. They asked Eudio to send them home, but neither ever made it home. Hunter left at the same time as Rafa, but whatever magics brought him here took longer for him to arrive than it took Rafa. For him, though, it'll be like no additional time has passed.
MORALITY: Morality has never been something that Hunter has ever struggled with, because he has a very blasé attitude towards it. He's not a murderer, but he's killed before. And he doesn't find anything wrong with vampires who've killed either. His morality tends to be more personal based on what affects him or those in his life. Outside of that, he doesn't have a many strong feelings one way or the other. He lives in a world that is constantly straddling the line between black and white. He was born into it, and it's only gotten grayer the longer he's been alive. He has no real interest in taking a greater stance on good and evil on the overall. He's only concerned about staying alive and keeping those he loves alive. His morality might extend just enough outside that to not wishing for the destruction of the universe. The reality is if his friends are all happy and he's happy because their worlds are all safe, then he'd probably lose some interest in the rest of the universe. Unless someone he cared about asked him to take an interest.
WAR ATTITUDES: It's not that he likes war, he hates it actually. He's seen what it does to those he loves, and he went to Eudio to end the war at home as peacefully as he can. He's good at it, though. He's a good fighter, a good soldier, and a good general. For all his lightheartedness, when it comes to war Hunter knows how to buckle down and strategize attacks and defenses. He's good at it, and he does enjoy it. If he could get that without the dangers and threats of a real war, that'd be his favorite thing ever. Unfortunately, he's good at something that brings a lot of people pain regularly. He's willing to fight in a war to protect people and help find an end, but he'd never wish for war. Even if that meant his talents went to waste for the rest of his long life.
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS: Hunter has a very rough history with romance that he tries not to think about or talk about. He's come a long way in his life to recover from it, but the truth is doubts still plague his mind from time to time. He loves too easily and too quickly, and that caused him to be burned severely in the past. So he constantly wars with himself to try to avoid those pitfalls, but he finds himself tripping up in them all the time. It's a constant struggle, and he's been lucky in recent years. However, the warning bells still go off in his head sometimes. He's open to many relationships, however. He has three husbands, and he still has room in his heart for more love. He has his son Wyatt, as well. He's open to multiple relationships and willing to love anyone who truly wants him.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS: Unfortunately, Hunter doesn't have a lot of skills. He never cultivated much beyond hunting, and then killing later in life. Hunter is great at war. He's great at battles and fighting. His best use would be defending everyone now, and fighting when needed. He'll offer any other help needed, of course. After all, he has other natural abilities that others might be able to depend on. But for his personal talents, he's best suited for fighting.
