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.
Aoba Seragaki | DRAMAtical Murder
PLAYER NAME: Sau
AGE: over 21
CONTACT:
IC:
CHARACTER NAME: Aoba Seragaki
CANON: DRAMAtical Murder
CANON POINT: During Noiz' route. After Aoba and Noiz blow off some steam (the notorious "bite" scene) at Glitter.
CRAU: Yes
AGE: 23
AGENT OF DESTINY: No.
BACKGROUND:
POWERS:
Scrap: A very overpowered and not very well-defined ability that Aoba has in DMMD canon. The key to it's use is Aoba's unusual vocal chords, which already has a passive effect - basically it just sounds very attractive, represented by frequent callers to the junkshop he worked at in Midorijima who become obsessed by his voice (and he uses this to score big sales). But when he uses it more actively, it allows him to merge his consciousness with other people's and it functions like a sort of mind control via voice command. A more powerful version of Scrap has additional effects: It can control, render unconscious, cause seizures, induce comas... or even kill. When Aoba knows someone well, it can go even deeper to expose deep seated problems or mental/emotional blocks that he can then destroy. Through careful application of Scrap, Aoba can perform miraculous feats - curing a man from the incurable condition that rendered him unable to feel sensation on his skin, or diverting a man's self-destructive lifestyle and averting suicide, etc. Aoba very rarely uses this ability as it induces painful and eventually debilitating headaches and runs the risk of 'Other Aoba' asserting himself and taking over.
Multiple Personality (Other Aoba/Shiroba): Aoba has never accepted his other self and has suppressed him. Other Aoba is described as mentally unstable and destructive, this side of him is very strong, violent and cruel - seems to revel in abuse even to the point of translating pain into pleasure and threaten the lives of others around him. This fragment of his personality seems to represent his ability, Scrap. He craves destruction (including his own) and thrills in provocation. As such, he's physically stronger than normal when he's in control, and has no hesitation or drawbacks to using Scrap to it's fullest potential. When this other personality takes over, or when Scrap is used, Aoba's eyes change from a warm hazel color to bright yellow.
Aoba's Weird Hair: This isn't a power so much as a weakness that's worth noting? Aoba's hair functions like nerve endings on their own, so he cuts his own hair (which is why it looks terrible) and having it touched, pulled or held can feel uncomfortable or inflict a lot of pain.
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
- Attire consisting of very dubious fashion
- Coil (think Apple Watch with a projection type screen)
- A small bag he usually uses to carry his Allmate around in while he's in sleep mode, or other stuff.
- His animal-type Allmate, Ren. Allmates are robotic companions that function like a a smartphone, Fitbit and cuddly pet all rolled into one.
- His daemon (Rend) assumes Ren's Avatar form and looks like this: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/23/2d/66/232d66834d9f0e0947ff69b475348c9f.jpg
SAMPLES: https://xistentiaooc.dreamwidth.org/15517.html?thread=689053#cmt689053
EXIT STRATEGY: Aoba was trying to get to the escape pods but as the attacks on the Station grew more devastating, the structural damage became so bad that an airlock failed, sucking him out into open space. However, Aoba was instantly pulled into a wormhole that threw him onto the snow-covered beach of Xistentia with no sign of other survivors from the Station that he could recognize.

I tried to view the plot announcement but I don't appear to have permission to view it! Can you help?
