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)

character information
● name: Remy Etienne leBeau
● canon: Marvel 616
● canon point: Issue 1, Gambit (2012)
● age: 34

● background: Right here!

● abilities: Through direct skin-to-object contact, Remy can activate the potential energy contained within an object and convert it to kinetic energy explosively. He can control the timing and intensity if these explosions as well. Because of his unique body chemistry, his body always generates an abundance of kinetic energy, leaving his thoughts sounding like garbled static to telepaths. His abilities also give him heightened reflexes and agility. His influence over the energy in organic matter, such as humans, manifests is a sort of charm. It's very subtle, but Remy can influence the tendencies of others, making them more likely to agree with whatever he's saying. This influence isn't foolproof, though, and is subtle enough to be rendered completely unusable when someone knows it exists.

● strengths: Remy is confident and calm under pressure, which allows him to coolly evaluate a situation without making any rash decisions based around his anger. He's smooth and charismatic which allows him to gather information without using brute force, and forge alliances where others might fail. He has faith in the character of others, which allows him to trust others in high-pressure situations, and believes supporting the strengths of his friends is the best way to help them better themselves. He's highly adaptable to various situations and able to improvise believably when he doesn't actually possess the knowledge needed, lending him credibility in several different fields of expertise, or at least giving him the ability to pretend well enough to pass a cursory evaluation. Unlike many mutants, Remy sees people as individuals, rarely bothering to discern between "human" and "mutant", which leaves him more open-minded to alliances and willing to go out on a limb for anyone, regardless of who they may be, and where their allegiances may lie. While his moral compass doesn't always align with what is legal, it is strong, and he's will to risk just about anything to protect the innocent, or help someone indeed.

● weaknesses: While cool and collected, once an idea has occurred to him as to what would work in a given situation, he rarely plans it out in advance, opting instead to rush off into the situation and rely on adapting the plan as the event unfolds, which has nearly lead to his death on more than one occasion. He's a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie who will opt for a 'just for thrills' outing of questionable legal integrity because it "seemed like a good idea at the time". Remy is still haunted by the very bad decisions he made when he was younger that led to the love of his life abandoning him in a frozen wasteland. His life since then has been, amid trying to remember who he really is, trying to be worthy of the love he feels for Rogue. While he fights to preserve the lives and rights of mutants, and to inspire their students as well as protect the world he calls home, he often wonders if those efforts mean anything to those he calls his family (if dysfunctional), and it's that self-doubt that leads to the extreme lengths he's willing to go to protect others and to save the day (sometimes even when it doesn't want to be saved). While he usually has the best of intentions, things like "legal" and "illegal" mean little to him if it means getting the information he needs to help someone or get a mission done, though he'd never stoop to out-and-out murder (he's a thief, not an assassin), but that moral grey area keeps him at odds with the more morally sound members of the superhero community.

● job skills: Speaks several languages, has taught middle and high-school aged students (English classes mostly). Working knowledge of advanced security systems. Can fly a jet. Has worked on combat teams. Highly adaptable. Hand-to-hand combatant, marksmanship, acrobatics, extensive knowledge of gambling and card games. Card tricks (is that a job skill?)

● housing: Surprise me!

● network username: housewins

● network sample:

[When the network feed initializes, Remy is reclining in a chair on what must be one of the balconies in the community housing, arms crossed behind his head as he smiles at the camera.]

Bonjour, mes amis. How's the Quarantine today, eh? I got to say, for a post-apocalyptic society, they sho 'nuff know how t' party, non? It's enough t' make a Cajun homesick.

Got me t' thinkin', too. They're all about community, right? How 'bout we throw a little party of our own, eh? A good, down-home potluck? Who don't like food, eh?
