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: Clarice “Blink” Fong
● canon: The Gifted.
● canon point: End of episode 13, ‘X-Roads’
● age: 29 ( there’s no canon age so I’ve just guessed. )

● (canon) background: Gifted Wiki / Marvel Database.

● abilities:
Portal Creation: Clarice’s power gives her the ability to create spacial warps - these are like doorways or portals that she can open in her near vicinity. Most often she uses them for travelling as she and others can jump through these portals. Clarice does need to have seen her destination to be able to use these powers correctly, as shown when she accidentally cuts a dog toy in half. It can also be affected by her mood - at one point she panics and can’t make it work.

Though it isn’t shown in Gifted canon, with time and training she may also be able to use her powers offensively ( like in other x-media ) by using portals to turn attacks back on people.

● strengths:
Caring: Despite being almost standoffish, Clarice is definitely one of those people who will go above and beyond to help. We see this quite often throughout the show. She’s either in the background gathering supplies for the wounded or she’s directly comforting those who are hurt. She’s quick to help the Underground because they helped her - trying to aid them in getting Lorna back, telling John when Marcos is in danger. So regardless of the fact that they’re relative strangers to her, she still does what she can in order to help.
Resilience: Life has not been kind to Clarice. She spent much of her youth in foster care due to her appearance. At fifteen she decided to leave the home and make her own way because she was tired of hiding. She’d been on her own since then, spending much of her time on the run from both Purifiers and later, Sentinel Services. This would break most people, but Clarice comes across as capable. She knows how to survive in a cruel world and what she needs to do to keep going. She’s there to help when it comes down to it, to make sure other mutants don’t have to go through what she had.
Adaptable: Clarice seems to bounce from place to place a lot. Before the Underground she did odd jobs with a group ( though they later turned out to be part of the Brotherhood ) and she uses her powers to help her and others get what she needs. Despite often voicing her concerns when a situation changes, Clarice doesn’t give up. When the mission to save Reed and Lorna goes wrong, she waits for her moment to be able to help, creating a different portal for which the Underground mutants to escape.

● weaknesses:
Self-Esteem: Clarice hides as much of her mutation as she possibly can. Her pointed ears are covered by her hair and in the beginning of the series she doesn’t tend to look at people head on due to her unnaturally bright eyes. She’s self-deprecating about her “beauty mark”, a scar that runs across one eye. She also finds it difficult to believe that people would want her around for anything but her powers, concluding that John didn’t tell her about Sonia’s memory trick because of it and referring to herself as a “portable door maker”.
Avoidance: She is always running. When Clarice can’t deal with her feelings she flees. We see in canon that she sleeps with her shoes on, obviously so that she’s ready in case she needs to escape. She also portals away when she thinks John is using her, choosing to live the same homeless life as she had before even if it means she’s not safe. She also struggles to voice her concerns, instead using sarcasm as a way of deflecting from what really matters.
Trust: There have been times in Clarice’s life where people have betrayed her because of who she is - like her boyfriend refusing to stand up to the Purifiers - and this has created a suspicion of everyone she comes into contact with. She finds it difficult to accept that the Underground want to help keep her safe, choosing instead to believe they want something out of her. She also tends not to be as honest as people would like because she’s sure they’ll turn their back on her or send her away. This is why she keeps her involvement with the Brotherhood a secret.

● job skills (optional): The only thing she’s ever mentioned in canon is being a dishwasher, but she might make a really nifty delivery girl if it’s needed.
● housing (optional): No preference.

● network username: blink.
● network sample: sexting ( sfw / mostly misfires )

● prose/action sample: riverview test drive meme / riverview test drive meme ii.
