riverview: applications
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
● 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.

● prose/action sample: write out or link to an example of how you write your character in interactions; this sample should be a bit longer and can be done in prose or action bracket style and can be set in the game or your character's canon, though please avoid over-use of NPCing other characters - this is about your character; links can be from the test drive meme, other games, PSLs (as long as they are not AU), or memes - but should not break the fourth wall (Dear Player etc.)
Please fill out the information in the form below and submit it in its entirety in one comment to this entry. If your application doesn't fit in one comment, it needs to be trimmed - application standards are weighted to quality rather than quantity.
kara danvers ● supergirl ● reserved
● name: Pax

character information
● name: Kara Danvers
● canon: DCTV (Supergirl)
● canon point: 2x09
● age: 25
● (canon) background: Wiki
● (original) world: N/A
● abilities: Here is a nice rundown of everything. She will most definitely need to be nerfed because she's basically godlike, but I'm going to leave that up to the moderators.
● strengths:
Compassion • She saved a mother and baby who'd gotten in a car accident weeks at most after she'd crash landed on Earth. Ever since, Kara has aspired to protect and help others and she hadn't been able to do for her cousin, who'd been a grown man already when she came along. Her desire to help others manifests in every facet of her life; with her friends, on the job as a reporter at CatCo, as a superhero. She'll even go to a whole other dimension to save a reality that isn't hers. Because that's who both sets of parents, biological and adoptive have raised her to be.
Loyalty • Kara doesn't have a wide social circle, so those she lets in are treated to her unwavering faith. She'll believe in the people she cares for, even when the evidence against them is pretty damning (such as Lena Luthor in 2x12.) Even when other friends and loved ones are doubtful.
Moral • Doing the Right Thing™ is important to her. No killing, no hurting innocents--and get the truth out there, no matter the cost.
● weaknesses:
Naive • As much as her seeing the best in people can be a strength, it's also a weakness. Case in point: the version of Clark she knew warned her against putting blind trust in a Luthor. Chances are it may come back to haunt her. And for all her faith in her aunt Astra, Kara could not accept that the two of them might be at odds, and in trading her (she'd been a hostage) back in return for J'onn J'onzz's freedom, that put everybody else she cared about in danger. It's a flaw she still bears as of Season 2, despite reveals that even her parents weren't as squeaky clean and upright as she'd thought.
Hotheaded • This girl has one bad temper. In season 1, it was largely fuelled by her intense grief and abandonment issues, and that largely unexplored subtle resentment between herself and Alex (revealed prominently in the pilot and the episode 'Falling.') Now, she still gets her rage on, becomes frustrated easily and rushes headlong into unknown situations without having done any recon or formulating any plan. Something Barry Allen cautioned her to work on, and Mon-El chided her for doing. She thinks she can handle everything on her own, no matter what.
Arrogant • Which provides a nice segue to this final point: in season 2, she's a bit full of herself. Saying things like It doesn't bother you that I got all the credit for this one and I'm the personification of the American Way and every single time she berates Mon-El for not being eager to use his powers to 'save' humans, and lay down his life for people he's never met. Season 1's resolution taught her that she was powerful, in ways even her cousin was not. And being intensely jealous of him; for his success, and ease in fitting in on Earth, she jumps at every opportunity to fly out from his shadow. She's in need of a good helping of Humble Pie, and reminder that she really isn't a god and her word isn't law.
● skills (optional): Putting out fires, hitting things, hand to hand combat, and writing articles for CatCo Magazine.
● housing (optional): floor 2
● network username: Kara is going to be rather unoriginal (and ordinary!) and simply go with: kara -- all in lowercase.
● network sample: I • II • III
● prose/action sample: I • II • III
