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: Riza Hawkeye
● canon: FullMetal Alchemist
● canon point: Around Chapter 102, when her throat is slit in order to force Roy to open the Gate.
● age: Mid 20s

● (canon) background: History
● (original) world: N/A

● abilities: Hawkeye has incredible sharpshooting skills with both handguns and rifles. She also knows a lot about different firearms so that they can be cleaned and maintained properly. She has excellent administrative skills as well, having had to keep offices in order under both Roy Mustang and Fuhrer Bradley. She did things such as paperwork, making coffee and made sure that everyone does what they're supposed to do. She also has basic hand-to-hand combat skills as well and can take on different covert ops, doing what she needs to do in order to complete the mission.

● strengths:

Loyal - Riza is probably the most loyal person that you could ever know. She follows Roy Mustang without hesitation and does what she can to help him accomplish his goals and makes sure that he stays on a path that will lead to accomplishing his goals. She will also do whatever she can to help protect the people under her, even if it means that she might get hurt. She is willing to sacrifice her own life so that others can continue on and

Calm - Riza is calm in some of the most extreme circumstances. She is able to keep a level head and not let her temper cause her to make major mistakes. She's only seen loosing her calm once, when she thought that Roy Mustang was dead. Most of the time when others loose their tempers, she is the one holding them back or doing something to make sure that they don't get themselves killed.

Compassion - While her professionalism may make her appear to be cold to those who don't know her, Hawkeye has great compassion for those she considers her friends. She wants to do what she can to help others, even if they have already passed away, such as after Ishval when she buried a small child that had been killed in the massacre. She does her best to try and shield the Elrics from the darker parts of being in the military, such as preventing them from seeing the bodies of Nina and Shou Tucker after their death and disagreeing with Roy about hiding the death of Maes Hughes.

● weaknesses:

Single-Mindedness - Riza can get very single minded. Her ultimate goal is to see Roy Mustang at the top of the military and she'll do whatever she can to make sure that he does it. When she is told by Lust that Mustang is dead, she looses her will to live, only regaining it when she finds out that he is alive. She will also completely ignore orders to abandon or leave him in a place and she doesn't hesitate to yell at him if he does something that might compromise his goals.

Cold - Riza often keeps her emotions to herself, which means that she often comes off as cold to people that she doesn't know. She doesn't let anything appear to get to her at all, keeping a straight face even when dealing with the worst of information. She also tries to keep everyone focused on the current task, even if something bad is going on.

Dirty Hands - During her time in Ishval, Hawkeye has learned to accept the consequences of her actions and has decided to sacrifice her own happiness and dirty her hands to make sure that peace is brought about for the people. She'll do the dirty work that needs to be done as long as she knows that someone else doesn't have to do it.

● job skills (optional): General administrative skills, experience as a soldier with a specialty in rifles and handguns.

● housing (optional): Close to Roy Mustang if possible.

● network username: r.hawkeye

● network sample:

[She's looking over the phone she was given, unsure if it's recording. The way she is dressed would be rather shocking to those who know her. She's not in uniform for one, her hair is down, and there is a massive bloodstain on the collar of her jacket. After a few moments she finally speaks.]

Colonel Mustang? If you're here, please contact me as soon as you're able. I still don't quite understand what is going on here, but if you did what they wanted you to...

[She shakes her head a bit.]

Does anyone know if the Elric Brothers are here? If so, where could I find them?

I could also use some directions to a shop where I could get some new clothes. Apparently they're unable to get bloodstains out of clothes before giving them back.

Colonel Mustang, Edward, Alphonse, please get in contact with me as soon as possible.

[And after that the feed cuts.]

● prose/action sample:

This place confused her. How could something like this even be possible? Even in a world with alchemy, there was nothing like this. Such advancements in technology. She could get in contact with any number of people just by using the device that she had been given after waking up. That was the least of her worries though.

How could there be multiple versions of the same world? She had talked with the Elric brothers and Roy Mustang. She didn't understand how there could be different versions of the same people and how they can be very different from the one she knew, but still the same as well. At least Roy was from the same version of Amestris that she was, even if it was in the past. That still confused her, but not as much as seeing Alphonse in a human body. With Roy here, she could at least give him information that could prevent a lot of trouble in the future.

She rubbed her neck a little bit as she thought more about what was going on. She had a lot of information to absorb and she would eventually understand it all. For now, she needed to get a job so that she could have some sense of normalcy, even if she was stuck on some moon, quarantined like she had an illness.
