Join the Game

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.

Sonya Simonson ☁ ❝Dreamer❞ | The Gifted

[personal profile] dreamisted 2018-03-07 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
OOC:

PLAYER NAME: Tessa
AGE: Over 25
CONTACT: PM [personal profile] dreamisted or plurk [plurk.com profile] figureskating__

IC:

CHARACTER NAME: Sonya Simonson | aka "Dreamer"
CANON: The Gifted
CANON POINT: 1.10 — 'Exploited', right as she's (fatally) shot in the chest by Dr. Roderick Campbell.
CRAU: No
AGE: 28 (canon hasn't specified so this is my best guesstimation)
AGENT OF DESTINY: No

BACKGROUND:
Here!


POWERS/ABILITIES: Sonya's mutant powers allow her to access the minds of people (specifically to do things like scan their memories, implant false memories, or otherwise remove and manipulate them). I've a permissions post located in her journal here.

STARTING EQUIPMENT:
Her prison uniform (with a hole in it from the bullet, and blood stains) + collar that shocks her when she uses her powers. She'll be getting rid of that collar ASAP. Image references: onetwothree
Her daemon, a monarch butterfly named Astrid.

SAMPLES:
Sonya awakens to a monarch butterfly gently resting on her nose; the pain in her chest is telling her not to move, but she sits up slowly anyway, and the butterfly then perches on her knee as she stares down at it. She smiles; it's a simple thing, the beauty of nature -- and her world had so been thrown into disarray, it was peaceful to see something like this.

What is surprising to her, however, is when it actually speaks to her. Damn, butterflies don't do that where she's from -- so yeah it's pretty cool. She's not sure if everything it's telling her is making her head spin, or if that's just her injury -- but she listens with great concentration nonetheless. And then she names it Astrid.

She finally pulls herself all the way up, standing now, with Astrid flying in gentle circles around her head. "I don't suppose you can tell me where the nearest shower is?" She asks Astrid, an eyebrow cocked up slightly in mild amusement. She really needs to wash this blood off and get a change of clothes. And then get this fucking collar off of her neck. "And maybe a crowbar or five?" Well, it's not like she has a power that can blast thing this off.


EXIT STRATEGY: In Gifted canon, the Hound program was started by humans to turn mutants into weapons to use against other mutants. For purposes of Xistentia, Sonya's exit program was that D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. had gotten their influence into this program, she saw it and tried to escape (since she'd been captured by the man running this program), and when she tried, she felt a shot to her chest, and then woke up on a beach instead of dying like she thought she was about to.
