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: Zacharie
● canon: OFF
● canon point: Post game, the Batter's ending
● age: Unknown. His voice clips sound young-ish, so I put him somewhere in his twenties

● (canon) background: OFF's wiki | Zacharie
● (original) world: N/A

● abilities:

First off, Zacharie breaks the 4th Wall with the grace of a rhino in a China tea shop. In addition to being able to address the Player by whatever name they entered at the beginning of the game, Zacharie is aware that the world of OFF is just a video game. From commenting on the graphics to instructing the Player to read the Read Me page in the game's files, he's not exactly subtle about it either. This applies to OFF's canon only. He will not be able to tell that he's in an RP game, nor does this extend to any other player's canons (he wouldn't be able to tell Batman he's from a comic, for example). As far as Zacharie's concerned, only OFF's world is just a video game in the end.

Zacharie has a tendency of 'showing up' when someone just so happens to need a merchant or a guide-like character. This is treated as a sort of teleportation ability. However it won't let him get into any places that other characters normally can't, bar mod permissions.

As the items merchant in the game, Zacharie has access to an unlimited amount of the items he sells. The items in question can be found here under the General and Equipment sections (aside from the Days). If this is too much, please let me know and I'll provide a list.

Finally Zacharie's shown to speak French, English and a bit of Spanish and some Latin.

● strengths:

Chill - Zacharie is someone who rarely looses his cool. There is only one event over the course of the game that upsets him (if the player defeats the Bonus Boss, Sucre) and even then he's rather quiet, simply remarking that "It's better like that.". Aside from that Zacharie is content to roll with OFF's plot - although it helps that Zacharie likely knows everything about said plot to begin with. Even winding up in another world will be met with minimum surprise. "I am in another world? Excellent. Would you like to buy something?"

Business man - Unsurprisingly as the only items merchant in OFF, Zacharie is good at selling his products. While he prefers cash - or credits, as it's known in his world - he's not against trading for items either. He'll likely adapt to Riverview quickly so he can get started on selling people junk, be it by buying with money or trading.

Helpful - Zacharie takes on the role of the Judge during Zone 3 to provide helpful information for the Player, making him a sort of part-time guide character. In Riverview Zacharie will also take on this role to help others by gathering as much information as he can since the plot isn't at his fingertips here. So if someone new needed a helpful guide, he's your slightly creepy friend!

● weaknesses:

Strange - While Zacharie doesn't bother hiding the fact that he's an NPC in a video game and doesn't find anything weird about it either, others likely will. After all, would you be willing to trust a strange, mask-wearing weirdo who says he's from a video game and sells even weirder items? Probably not.

Secretive - In addition to the above, Zacharie is someone who plays his cards close to his chest. OFF leaves a number of things up to the player's imagination and the merchant is one of the more mysterious characters in the game. We never find out what his relationship with Sucre is, how he knows Japhet or Hugo or how he met the Judge and his brother Valerie. He's not one to lie but at the same time Zacharie doesn't seem interested in explaining much about himself beyond the fact that he's the merchant of the game.

Neutral - Zacharie is the items merchant and people buy stuff from him. He's not too concerned with the type of person who buys from him is nor what they'll do with said items after they've left his hands. It doesn't matter if you're a good person buying healing items to help out a friend or a man on a mission to purify the world by destroying it, Zacharie will sell you something. For better or for worse.

Elements - This is a minor one but the elements in OFF (Meat, plastic, metal, smoke and sugar) are far different than water and so on, thus it may take him awhile to get used to the shift.

● skills (optional): N/A. Zacharie will likely start his own business as soon as he can in Riverview.

● housing (optional): Somewhere private please, even if it's matchbox-sized.

● network username: zacharie

● network sample: Post from Entranceway

● prose/action sample: And a log
