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.
(I hope this edit works)
*Marcus in this comic is shown as guilty and remorseful he had to work for Skynet, and woken up from the dead for that purpose. However, as he explains things to John, his annoyance set in as he had to tell John and the Resistance multiple times that Skynet was not lying about Parnell trying to take over its systems.

*https://boomtown-ooc.dreamwidth.org/1637.html- First person/Third person samples in Marcus Wright application which I wrote:
[b]*Third-Person Sample: [/b]
Marcus had distracted his mind lately here in New Dodge, mainly by working on broken down metallic items like radios and motorcycles and various car parts. Here, nobody would care if he was a criminal in his past, and that he died twice to save John Connor.
His latest fix was that of a old radio in New Dodge.
He sat on his bed, taking a few tools and tinkering with the wiring in the back of the radio until the radio started to pick up some hints of music coming out.
“Heh, thought this might need a tune up.”
Marcus’s mood was a little bit better as he gave the radio a place in the Saloon of New Dodge for a little music while times were rough.
While the music played in the saloon, it gave Marcus valuable time to think about past events. He had somehow been brought back to life again, and it was strange, but at least he was still alive.
He had felt guilty for everything he did wrong in his past life, and was willing to make up for it, by making New Dodge a little better than what his world’s condition was in.
Of course, Rooster played on the radio while Marcus held back the urge to turn it to another song over time. It represented a past time in Marcus’s life he didn’t care to mention.
Marcus found himself slumping on the bar for what seemed like a second as he had a lot on his mind for the time being.
What would become of John’s life after he’s a terminator. Maybe Kate would know, who can tell?
Someday he would watch all of the others pass, while he lived in a immortal terminator body, almost a curse and a blessing to watch others die while he lived.

Day 10: Something different
Dear Blair,
I’m sorry that I have to leave our world for a while. Things had come up and it just seemed like my time to help out another place. I’ll be back in 6 months, hopefully if things go well. Watch over the others like I did as the city gets rebuilt as I know you will do.
Tell John I’ll be back later but I am not dead. The war is over and I’d like it to stay that way so all of us can relax.
If everyone remembers, John’s death was not in vain. Keep that in vain.
I’m in this place called New Dodge and hopefully someday you can come as well, you know I’ll miss you.
Oh, if you see Kyle and Star, give them advanced warning I’ll be back in a short while. I hate to see them worry.
Marcus Wright
