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)

● name: Tracy
● age: 20+
● contact: plurk - lenneths_wings OR PM
● other characters: Ciel Phantomhive

character information
● name: Makoto Yuuki
● canon: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
● canon point: just after his death/becoming the Great Seal
● age: 17

● (canon) background: Just The Journey
● (original) world: N/A

● abilities: Summoning a Persona (also the Wild Card ability which allows him to use any Persona at all. Igor says: "It is like the number zero... empty, yet holding infinite potential within itself.") He can carry 12 at any given time.

If he can't find a way to access the Persona Compendium in Riverview, these are the ones he brings along:

Orpheus (Fool)
Surt (Magician)
Scathach (Priestess)
Odin (Emperor)
Kohryu (Hierophant)
Attis (Hanged Man)
Beelzebub (Devil)
Sandalphon (Moon)
Asura (Sun)
Thanatos (Death)
Messiah (Judgement)
Metatron (Aeon)

● strengths:

CALM - Makoto has an uncanny ability to remain calm is almost all situations, including having a gun pointed at him. And this is in part because he isn't concerned with living or dying.

STOIC/RESERVED - He rarely shows his emotions, or never lets them show so that it doesn't interfere with school or SEES operations. And when he does, it takes a great deal of warming up to people to let them see.

MATURE - For someone who is only seventeen, he acts older than he is, willing to go to great lengths to succeed in school, extracurricular, and even in saving the world by becoming the Great Seal.

INTELLIGENT/CHARMING/COURAGEOUS - Makoto has a maxed out intelligence, charm, and courage traits, making him one of the top students in his class and able to deal with almost any situation he needs to handle for himself and his team.

OBSERVANT - Rather than jumping into things head on, he tends to observe situations when he can or conversations before he's dragged into them so he can make well-informed decisions/opinions.

● weaknesses:

MORBID - Makoto watched his parents burn to death when he was seven and had the Shadow Arcana Death sealed inside him for ten years so he ended up developing a rather dark sense of humor and a disregard for whether he lives or dies. As a result, he'll fight harder and more recklessly, even continuing to fight when he injured.

LONER - Having been orphaned as a child, he's had difficulty developing connections to people and instead avoid them, under the impression that everyone will leave him. A concept solidified by Pharos who tells him for some time that SEES will leave him too after the Dark Hour is gone but is partially ignored by the teen, especially thanks to Ryoji.

BLUNT - Rather than sugarcoating, Makoto will straight out tell someone what he thinks of them or how they're behaving.

PROTECTIVE - He's extremely protective of his friends and people he cares about or respects, to the point where he will throw himself into immediate danger and take it on himself to keep anyone else from getting hurt. (Example: Final Nyx confrontation.)

● job skills (optional): Natural leader, mature, unafraid of death/dying, strategist
● housing (optional): Anywhere is fine

● network username: mementomori

● network sample:

[Makoto has his headphones settled on his ears, music player hanging around his neck, but it's obviously not turned on as he starts recording a message.]

This probably isn't something you hear much but is there somewhere I can get a sword? A good one. One-handed, preferably.

I mean, there's a lot that goes on outside the city so being armed is smart and I can't rely entirely on my Persona's.

-well, I can but it's kind of reckless?

[Running around with a sword is probably reckless as well but he can handle that more responsibly than using a Persona constantly to fight.]

Also, any chance I can find a charger around here for this? [He plucks at his MP3 player.] I can live without it but music is nice to have and I like listening to it when I'm fighting.

● prose/action sample: Test Drive with Akihiko
