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: Augustine Sycamore
● canon: Pokemon XY/XYZ (anime)
● canon point: After Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!, but before Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!
● age: About 29-30

● (canon) background: Here are the wiki links: Pokemon Wikia, Bulbapedia

● abilities: While Professor Sycamore is just a regular human being, he has skills and experience both as a Pokemon Trainer and Pokemon Professor just like most of the human characters of Pokemon.

Pokemon training and battling: As a Pokemon Trainer, Sycamore is able to train and command his Garchomp in a Pokemon battle as well as capture other Pokemon with any type of Poke Ball.
Pokemon Knowledge: As a Pokemon Professor, he has basic knowledge about Pokemon as well with any knowledge of just about any Pokemon species that originates in Kalos. But he mostly doesn't recognize any Pokemon that doesn't originate in Kalos due to his canon point (an example being Pokemon from the Alola region).
Mega Evolution Knowledge: As Mega Evolution is his main focus of his research, he is able to determine which Pokemon can Mega Evolve with a help of his lab equipment as well the knowledge on how to activate the evolution as well as the requirements to use it.

● strengths:

Friendly/caring: As with many other Pokemon Professors, Sycamore is a kind and caring individual who is friendly to trainers, both young and old, and to any Pokemon, he meets. Because of this, he enjoys teaching and giving advice to any new trainers, as well help them improve the relationship between them and their Pokemon, as well as wild Pokemon that might be their future partners.
Calm/determined: Sycamore remains calm and collected no matter what situation he's in. He is also determined when it comes to completing a task, which allows him to focus on any given situation as well being unfazed at any pain he feels whenever he tries to befriend a Pokemon.
Selfless: As Professor Sycamore is a giving person, he is not afraid to share his Mega Evolution research with anyone as long it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. In fact, when he sees someone in danger, he is willing to sacrifice almost anything, even his research, to save them. An example of this was when he gave up his hard drive containing his research to Team Rocket in order to save Serena and Bonnie.
Intelligent: As he knows so much about Pokemon and Mega Evolution, he is very careful with his strategies in any Pokemon battles; this includes any strategies that may help turn a bad situation around.

● weaknesses: While he may be a calm and friendly man, Professor Sycamore is prone to anger and aims for payback whenever someone hurts his friends, such as with Team Rocket after he managed to Mega-Evolved his Garchomp for the first time, and where he protected Mairin from a Team Flare Grunt who attempted to kidnap her. Also, he always put others before himself, to the point where he ignores his wellbeing for the sake of others. He also tends to worry a lot when it comes to his friends' well-being such as when he noticed Alain's aloof behavior after meeting him again at the Kalos League opening ceremonies, and when he tried to find his kidnapped Garchomp. Also with his good looks, Sycamore can be a bit of a charmer when it comes to women as he once tried to flirt with Diantha's assistant with no avail.

● skills (optional): Along with his knowledge on Pokemon and Mega Evolution, he can be strategic in Pokemon battles, I think.
● housing (optional): Since he likes to interact with other characters, I prefer that he might be in a communal housing.

● network username: prof.sycamore

● network sample: Sample from Genessia

● prose/action sample: Sample from Genessia

● Augustine will be housed in Communal Housing; Floor 1, Bed 6.
● Augustine's job, should he choose to accept it, is Professor for "Alternative Fauna: Pokémon" an elective night class at Riverview University.
