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)

● weaknesses: list at least 3 personality weaknesses your character has and elaborate on them; this section should not be more than 300 words

● job skills (optional): if you would like your character to be placed in a job to start out, list three work-related skills so they can be assigned something suitable; this is different than the abilities section, and should only be three words or very short phrases - the character will not be placed in a job if there are no traits listed here; This is something that is asked in orientation, and would be volunteered by your character. But please feel free to specify if they have a skill they might not mention but that you would like considered in their job placement and I'll take it into consideration as a "funny coincidence."

● other characters: N/A

character information
● name: Eames
● canon: Inception
● canon point: The end of Inception
● age: In his 30s

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

● abilities:

- hand-to-hand combat
- marksmanship with small handguns and ability to use grenade launchers as well as explosives, at the very least
- pickpocketing
- forging of documents
- dream sharing: Eames uses a PASIV to enter people's dreams and manipulate them, as well as steal information or plant ideas. Eames requires the PASIV machine to dream share.
- forging: While he's in a dream, Eames is able to forge or shapeshift into different people. He's forged into different ages and genders.

● strengths:

- charming & humorous: Eames is quite the teasing charmer, teasing multiple members of the inception team throughout the movie, like when he startles Saito in the elevator with his forge, or when he tips over Arthur's chair. He seems quite amused by a lot of things, and his charm easily wins people over.

- intelligent: He's also a pretty smart guy. In regard to Saito wanting Robert to dissolve his father’s empire, Eames says 'Well, you see right there you have various political motivations and anti-monopolistic sentiments and so forth, but all of that stuff, it’s really at the mercy of your subject's prejudice.' He also hits it on the head that they need to target the father/son relationship and comes up with the idea to have Robert give himself the idea by suggesting it to him as a forge of his godfather.

- kind: He is also (though he doesn’t show it as often as he should) pretty kind. Despite obviously disliking Cobb, when they think they’ve failed, he says 'It isn't me who doesn't get to see their family, is it?'. He also is concerned about Saito's wound, and tells Saito to not be silly when he repeats what Eames said about how there’s no room for tourists on a job like this.

● weaknesses:

- shaky morals: He is, after all, a thief. A dream thief, too. He frequently steals from people, enters their mind and messes around in there without their permission, forges things, etc. I tend to lean on the side of that he finds it interesting, but I do think he enjoys the money too, with his gambling in the beginning.

- bit of a temper: He’s annoyed and angry when Cobb reveals that they're stuck in Robert’s mind, 'battling his own private army, and if [they] get killed, they’ll be in limbo' - the place deep in one's subconscious where one ends up if they go too far layer-wise or are killed while sedated in a dream - 'till [their] brains turn to scrambled egg' (as Eames so eloquently puts it.). He even decides to quit working, but Cobb guarantees they'll be killed no matter what if they quit.

- bit of a jerk: Cobb asks him to distract a guy while he runs, and Eames barely even tries. He also tips Arthur's chair to demonstrate what a kick is and to bother Arthur because he thinks it's funny. He also found humor in Yusuf testing his compound on Arthur and pushing him out of the chair to prove that the inner ear function remained untampered with. He's usually a jerk for a comedic effect, but he can just be annoying.

● job skills (optional):

- proficient in languages
- really good with people and psychoanalyzing them, though he has no psychology experience or anything like that
- good at fighting

● housing (optional): no preference!

● network username: couldbeadream

● network sample:

[Eames smooths a hand over his hair to tame what the wind has made crazy before switching his phone to video.]

Morning, all. Just getting some fresh air. Lovely day. I’m Eames, no 'mister' necessary. I'm a people person. Also a dog-lover and I love long walks on the beach. I don't, however, know my sign; sorry to disappoint.

If we're stuck here together, I should like to get to know you all. Let's start with: 'Who in all the universes would you most like to be stuck on a deserted island with and why? '. Anyone at all.

[He grins.] Bonus points to anyone who picks me.

If anyone recognizes my name, give me a ring, hm?

[And he hangs up.]
