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)

Survival Skills

● strengths:

Hope

Rey grew up in an environment of opportunistic betrayal, survival of the fittest, and limited resources. Despite this, she has managed to remain optimistic. This extends beyond her persistent dedication to waiting for her family to come back for her. Rey believes if you give life an inch, it will find a way to survive. She collects dessert plants from Jakku's wasteland to remind herself of this.

Courage

While Rey is far from fearless, she often pushes past her fear for the sake of courage. She is brave, resilient, and does not back down from fights on Jakku, even when outnumbered. In Jakku, the weak do not survive. A display of weakness leads to people trying to take advantage of her, take her things, or attack her further. Rey has learned to fight for her survival and act confident.

Persistence and Resourcefulness

Beyond her refusal to give up hope on a return she knows is never coming, Rey is tenacious. She taught herself many languages through constant interaction with crews passing through Jakku. These included the language of droids (Binary) and Wookiee (Shyriiwook). She scoured flight and ship manuals to learn which parts from the ships were useful or not, and how to repair them. Through flight simulators, she taught herself to be an excellent pilot. She also learned how to defend herself ad fight with a staff enough to best even Plutt's goons at times. She did all this on her own.

Compassion

Jakku is a world filled with violence, death, and betrayal. Rey experienced all these first hand. While she did learn to be a loner and look out for herself first, she remains kind and compassionate.

● weaknesses:

Fear

Despite her courage and outward confidence, Rey is still a young woman who lives a lot of her life looking over her shoulder as she fights to just make it day to day. She's afraid of admitting that she has waited for nothing, afraid to leave Jakku and miss the return of those who left her, and afraid of her destiny when it finally catches up to her in Maz's castle. She fights not to let it show but it bleeds through at her vulnerable moments.

Stubbornness

Rey has survived on her own for so long she has a hard time accepting help from others. She stubbornly fights to stand on her own, even when she could really use an extra hand, shrugging off attempts at hand holding (figurative or literal) and proudly boasting or claiming in frustration that she can take care of her self

Longing

More than anything, Rey has been seeking a sense of belonging. She wants to belong and she wants her family to come rescue her so badly she ignores even her own awareness that they are never coming back for her. She was also prone to imagining herself in far away green worlds, having adventures with her imaginary friend as a kid.

Inexperience & Naivety

Rey is very clever when it comes to survival and technology, but she has lived an isolated and lonely life. She isn't quick to trust, but she can be very naive about the universe beyond the familiar wastelands of Jakku. Everything she knows she taught herself or learned from gossip in cantinas. Not the most reliable sources. She's fresh to many experiences and can be a bit brazen and reckless for it.

● skills (optional):

● housing (optional):

Rey isn't used to living so close to people and would prefer a private or shared room, but will take whatever is offered without complaint. She is not likely to remain there longer than necessary. ● network username: Ræh

● network sample: TDM Network 1 TDM Network 2

● prose/action sample: TDM Prose TDM Action
