applications: open

Applications will be open from 10:00 PM EST on the 1st of every month until 10:00 PM on the 7th of every month. They will be processed as quickly as possible after they are submitted; if you have not received a response by the 10th of the month, feel free to contact the mod.

Applications will be open from October 1st until December 7th, and will be processed on a first-come first-served basis.

● Please post the entirety of your application in a comment to this entry.

Applications may receive a verdict of Approved, Declined, or Revisions.

● Declined applications can be reworked and resubmitted during the next application cycle. If an application is declined 3 times, it cannot be resubmitted.
● Revisions must be submitted within 48 hours of the revision request being sent out. If this is impossible due to extenuating circumstances, please contact the mod.

● There are currently 58 Character Slots still available in the game.

● While the game is close to character cap, reserved applications will be processed before unreserved applications, with unreserved applications being processed at the end of the cycle until cap is reached.

● Application Queue: All applications that would put the game over character cap will be placed in the queue below and processed on a first-come-first-serve basis. Applications in queue will be processed as drops happen, regardless of whether the application cycle is complete.

● Casts at or close to Cast Cap: Marvel Cinematic Universe: 15/15; Marvel Comics: 12/15

application guide

● Accepted character types: fandom, original, canon AU
● Non-accepted character types: fandom OC, AU
● The character limit is 2, with 2 apps allowed per month; players can buy up to a maximum of 4 character slots with AC bonus points. There is a cast cap of 15 characters per cast at this time.
● Linked samples should be no older than 1 year.
● Application challenges are not allowed at this time, but if you would like to apply for a character that is on reserve, please submit the application with "not reserved" noted in the subject line, and your application will be considered if the reserved application is declined or not turned in.

● CLARIFICATION ADDED 04/02/2017: Applications must fit in ONE COMMENT on the application page. In special situations such as original characters or canon characters without an information link, please try to keep the summary concise and stick to major turning points. If you have been as concise as possible and it absolutely will not fit in one comment, please store the background section in an entry on your journal/musebox/website and link it to keep the application within one comment.

● CLARIFICATION ADDED 02/03/2018: The Strengths and Weaknesses sections are a stand-in for the usual personality section and should relate to the character's personality strengths and weaknesses. These sections should not include anything related to abilities and the weaknesses should not be 'positives in disguise' (for example, stating that a character has a weakness to iron because they are a fairy would not be an acceptable response to the weaknesses section, nor would stating that a character is too generous). Every character has good and bad personality traits, please include both.

● CLARIFICATION ADDED 03/10/2018: Linked samples must be from a publicly available source. Friends-locked samples are not acceptable for use (via screencaps or other methods), unless they have been unlocked and made public.

● A mod-created sample application can be found here. This is an example of a canon application. The strengths section has been filled out in bullet point form, and the weaknesses have been filled out in paragraph form - both options or a combination thereof are acceptable.

● Sample Applications: Ronan Lynch (Canon Character; Written Background), Yuuri Katsuki (Canon Character; CRAU), Derek Hale (Canon Character; CRAU), Tolemi Pagoda (Original Character), Benjamin Holt (Original Character)

character information
● name: Sailor Galaxia
● canon: Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon
● canon point: Stars 10, Act 59 of the manga
● age: 20s

● (canon) background: Wiki link

● abilities: Galaxia's main abilities are teleportation and destructive forces (such as strong winds, lightening, etc). She transforms from a relatively normal looking human to a powered up version called a Sailor Guardian. Her brooch, known as the Saffer Crystal, is the main source of her power and is basically a conduit of her "soul."

She has two main attacks:
Galactica Super String - A massive attack of energy erupting from her body.
Galactica Inflation - Electricity based attack with lightning surrounding her.

All of her powers are based around mass destruction and she has been shown destroying not only a whole city but also an entire planet. Her powers in general would probably need to be nerfed down due to their nature.

● strengths: Galaxia's main strength is her ambition. When she decides she wants something, she will go out and get it and not allow anything to stand in her way. Because of this she is very manipulative, going out of her way to find weaknesses in others and exploit them for her own goals. She does this especially in her use of minions, preying on their own desires for power to turn them into pawns for her own amusement. She seeks out the weakest point in others to learn how to destroy them. Whatever hurts someone the most, she'll find it. And she'll use it.

Her determination made her a very successful leader in her empire. She does not allow for mistakes, and will follow through with all of her plans until the end.

● weaknesses: Ambition is also a major weakness of hers. As much as it drives her goals, it also blinds her. She wants more than she reasonably should and it drives her to commit evil acts. Power that is out of her reach causes never ending obsession to try and get the one thing she cannot have.

She has major inferiority over who she used to be. She grew up alone in a hostile environment and she overcompensates with a need to become more than her origins. She cannot possibly be a nobody in the universe or be seen as weak.

Above all else, she is a lonely person who does not understand the values of things such as love and friendship. She never had those things so she doesn't quite get it. This gives her a deep void in her heart that she tries to fill by seeking power instead.

● job skills (optional): Combat, Leadership skills, murder
● housing (optional): No preference.

● network username: goldenqueen

● network sample:

[Why is she using this thing? Even she does not know.]

I struggle to understand the usefulness of massing together in groups for the sake of entertainment. What do you gain from introducing yourself to random strangers whom you might not ever speak with again? Why? The situations are loud, annoying and give nothing in the end.

I implore someone, anyone, to explain to me the purpose of parties.

● prose/action sample: Test Drive post

revisions

Thank you for your application! Before it can be fully processed, a bit of additional information and clarification is required. Please complete the following revisions within 48 hours and submit them in a reply to this comment.

● While the strengths and weaknesses sections should still be under 300 words, please provide a bit more detail in these sections to give a clearer idea of her personality.

we hope to see you soon

I hope this is better:

● strengths: Galaxia's main strength is her ambition. When she decides she wants something, she will go out and get it and not allow anything to stand in her way. After learning about the "birthplace of stars" (the place where life begins) she decides that she is the one who needs to become its new ruler. She wants to become what would effectively be the equivalent of being a god -- to be able to recreate the universe in her own image.

Because of this she is very manipulative, going out of her way to find weaknesses in others and exploit them for her own goals. She does this especially in her use of minions, preying on their own desires for power to turn them into pawns for her own amusement. She seeks out the weakest point in others to learn how to destroy them. Whatever hurts someone the most, she'll find it. And she'll use it.

Her determination made her a very successful leader in her empire. She does not allow for mistakes, and will follow through with all of her plans until the end. The over all cost of her goal is of little importance, how many people she hurts of lives she destroys does not matter. If someone gets in her way or fails her in some fashion, then they deserve to be eliminated.

● weaknesses: Ambition is also a major weakness of hers. As much as it drives her goals, it also blinds her. She wants more than she reasonably should and it drives her to commit evil acts. Power that is out of her reach causes never ending obsession to try and get the one thing she cannot have. She yearns for the unobtainable because if she can somehow achieve that impossible goal, it'd prove just how great she feels she should be, how great she wants to be.

She has major inferiority over who she used to be. She grew up alone in a hostile environment and she overcompensates with a need to become more than her origins. She cannot possibly be a nobody in the universe or be seen as weak. Anyone who has greater power or strength than her is viewed as threat to be eliminated. Not someone to keep around or admire. Not someone to look up to. But rather a target that needs to be taken out of the picture.

Above all else, she is a lonely person who does not understand the values of things such as love and friendship. She never had those things so she doesn't quite get it. This gives her a deep void in her heart that she tries to fill by seeking power instead. She believes that a persons own strength is the only merit of their worth. Relying on other people is a sign of weakness. If you can't depend on yourself and yourself alone you aren't worthy of existing. This is how she ultimately views herself -- as someone who has to be great. What would be the point of living otherwise?
