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: Damian Wayne
● canon: DC comics: Rebirth
● canon point: Batman #35
● age: 13

● (canon) background: wiki link
● (original) world: N/A

● abilities:

Martial arts: When Damian learned to walk he was taught to fight, and before age 10 he was skilled in martial arts, hand-to-hand combat and sword fighting.

Voice mimic: He can alter his voice to sound like anyone be it a woman or full-grown man. This skill has proven to work in even fooling Batman’s voice-controlled security system.

Weapon proficiency: He has mastered the use of most weapons but excels in things like swords and projectiles.

Acrobatic: Being a Robin and the pupil of Dick Grayson, Damian is quite agile and quick. Often using acrobatic flips and maneuvers in combat.

Enhancements: Born out of an artificial womb, his mother has said that Damian was “Perfected”. Damian has displayed above average strength making him able to deal punches just as hard as any adult, sensitive hearing and heightened endurance. He is by no means invulnerable, but he can take some pretty hard hits.

Intelligence: Likely tied to the enhanced genetics. Damian is capable of retaining a lot of information and accomplish things that no child should. He was raised with the very best tutors from around the world and has stated that had his mother not killed his teacher he could’ve received a doctoral degree by age 5.

Bilingual: He has been seen speaking Spanish and Chinese but is said to know upwards of 8 different languages.

Mechanic: Damian likes to build his own custom motorcycles and has even added Jet capabilities to a Batmobile.

Tech savvy: It is rare to find him without an electronic or a gadget and like every Robin, he is a decent hacker.

Artistic: The boy can paint and draw.

● strengths:

Quick-thinker: Damian will often think up plans on the spot to take control of a situation or make a quick escape. Like using Maya’s sound tech to stop a raging bat-dragon, throwing Superboy off a roof to distract Lex Luthor, or quickly piecing together a tracking link from a dislocated Robot head... as he’s being chased down by an army of said robots.

Maturity: Damian has been through a lot, even death itself. So things like murder, death and the general horrors of humanity don't shake him. He can walk into a fresh crime scene and not bat an eye. He can be hunted by assassins or tortured by villains, yet still, manage to form plans and keep his cool.

Loyalty: Trust is hard earned with Damian, but once he trusts someone he’ll stick with them through thick and thin. Sometimes putting himself at risk to protect his friends and family. Like handing himself over to his grandfather to stop the man from sending assassins after his Titans, giving his life to protect his Father’s city from a meta bomb or engaging Deathstroke in a challenge to get his attention off trying to kill Maya. Things that Damian loves come rarely and far apart, so when they do, he tends to hold tight.

● weaknesses:

Ego: Prideful, stubborn and determined. Damian can’t stop. Won't stop. His whole life the boy has been told to be the best and has had a lot to live up to, so it can make him cocky. He often takes on more than he can handle because he believes he can handle anything.

Impulsiveness: Quick thinking is all well and good, but his choices don't always end well. He tends to rush into things believing himself to be right which has gotten himself and others into trouble. Batman has even stated that Damian’s lack of control over his impulses is his greatest concern for his son.

Loyal to a fault: While being a strength, his loyalties can give him tunnel vision. It not only makes him far too self-sacrificing, (See Loyalty in strengths section) but Damian tends to take things too far, believing he must do what his loved ones are not willing to do. Even going so far as breaking his father’s “No-kill” rule on a villain that came close to taking Bruce’s life.

Social skills: He has near to none. Damian was raised to be an assassin and to dispose of anything in his way, which often meant killing. This has given him a pretty bad attitude and can be really off putting. While he now has sworn to no longer kill he still has trouble telling right from wrong and his responses to things can be pretty overkill. Like interrogating a jaywalker because obviously Jaywalking is just the gateway to a life of bigger crimes.

● job skills (optional): Detective, genius intelligence, martial artist, organized and great with animals.
● housing (optional): Surprise me.

● network username: Robin or d.wayne if Robin is taken.

● network sample:
network - w/Sans || network - w/Jason

● prose/action sample:
action w/Jon || action w/MJ
