riverviewmod | riverview: applications

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)

player information
● name: Fidgey!
● age: 28.
● contact:

justaways
● other characters: Karamatsu Matsuno from Osomatsu-san.

character information
● name: Gintoki Sakata.
● canon: Gintama.
● canon point: Episode 328.
● age: 28.

● (canon) background: Boop!
● (original) world: N/A.

● abilities:

✗ Skilled samurai: He's a legendary war hero who is feared by his enemies and grew up learning how to fight with a sword with his own fighting technique.

✗ Skilled at close combat & fist fighting: A good strong punch from him can send somebody flying across the room.

✗ Excellent physical endurance & strength— even though he's a mortal human being, he's hard to kill and has immense strength.

✗ Intelligent with military and battlefield tactics as a former patriot.

✗ Speed: He's said to be as fast as a ninja.

✗ Musical talent: He has a decent singing voice and has been noted to play the shamisen.

✗ 4th walling / Self awareness: Gintama is infamous for it, but Gintoki is known to especially do it.. with player permission.

● strengths:

✔ Brave: Hardly anything scares Gintoki. He doesn't really like the dentist or ghosts, but he doesn't fear death or getting injured. He presses his luck with people and doesn't mind starting or ending confrontation when it is necessary.
✔ Protective: The most important aspect of his life is to use his sword to protect those who are dear to him. Without anything to protect, Gintoki considers his life empty with no purpose. He states his when he lost his mentor during the war and will gladly risk his life for the people he cares about.
✔ Loyal: Gintoki is an orphan, and being so, he is accustomed to being a lone wolf, but that doesn't mean he exactly likes it. Gintoki has a habit of forming his own family where ever he goes and has been known to sticking to the sides of people no matter what they do if they mean a lot to him. It takes time, but the second you become his friend, it is hard to lose him by your side no matter what you do.

● weaknesses:

✘ Insensitive: One of his most noticeable and first traits of his personality is how crass he is with his way of speaking. Gintoki has been noted to point out traits about people that they could be self-conscious about, or make verbal insults to people he hardly knows. He's also infamous for going a bit too far with flirting and making sexual innuendos without much thought.
✘ Lazy/Apathetic: He is a motivated worker when given the right leverage, but otherwise, Gintoki prefers to take it easy and relaxing if he doesn't have to work. He has no problems sitting on his ass or sleeping and will sometimes avoid work in an irresponsible way so that he can do nothing. He also appears to not care about a lot of things, sometimes brushing off important topics of conversation without batting a lash.
✘ Childish: Gintoki grew up very quickly, joining the military when he was just a teenager and trying to survive when he was a child. That being said, he hasn't properly grown into an adult and show responsibility in all things. He's noted to avoid paying his rent and bills and using his money on frivolous things. Gintoki is also very argumentative with almost anyone, showing his immaturity. Gintoki seems to be aware of this, often saying he still has the "soul of a boy."

● job skills (optional): He's a freelancer, so he can really do any job he's given. Gintoki has experience in many different ways since he takes on any job he is given back home. His notable job skills would be any kind of mentoring along with swordsmanship. All of these things he would not mentioned when being interviewed, but if he has the opportunity to work with sweets, he will gladly volunteer there first before anything else.
● housing (optional): Floor 9, private housing.

● network username: strawberrysamurai

● network sample: Network thread from El Nysa.

● prose/action sample: Action sample from Riverview TDM.
