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: Dr. Caitlin Snow
● canon: DCTV: The Flash
● canon point: Post 3x12
● age: 27

● (canon) background: Caitlin Snow on Arrow Wikia

● abilities: When she isn't wearing her specially-made necklace to neutralize it, her Killer Frost ability is cryokinesis, meaning that she can freeze anything. If she's not careful, using those abilities can change who she actually is, turning her into a cold-hearted killer. Her humanity sort of slips away and she loses control of herself. When this happens, her lips can turn blue and her hair white; her eyes also begin to glow. Finally, she has an abnormally high tolerance for cold temperatures. For example, she is largely unaffected by holding a piece of ice whereas a normal human being might feel the cold escalating into a painful sensation or reddened, chapped, or damaged skin.

Besides her metahuman abilities, Caitlin is also a very intelligent and skilled doctor, focused in biomedical engineering. She's a computer specialist, but it isn't necessarily her focus. Lastly, she's a trained neurosurgeon. Given her medical and biomedical engineering backgrounds, she's able to create antidotes and cures for ailments when given the data about the infected party and the ailment itself to analyze, first, and she's done this sort of thing in canon, usually with assistance from Cisco.

● strengths: Caitlin has a big heart and she loves with every ounce of it. She's resilient, having been through the loss of her husband (twice, actually) and her subsequent partner. She's good at solving problems and trying to find solutions, especially when she can use medical or technical knowledge to do so. Caitlin genuinely cares about people and she tends to see the best in them, even if that isn't always to her benefit. She's incredibly intelligent and adapts well to new surroundings when necessary.

She's compassionate and empathetic; she's a good listener and a great friend to have. She might not be much, but she'll fight for what she believes in every chance she gets and she'll always be loyal to someone she trusts and cares about, even if it might not be in her best interest, in the end.

Additionally, she's incredibly patient and genuinely wants to help people work through their issues. A prime example of this is from the second season when she put so much time and effort into trying to get Jay to understand that she really did love him and he really didn't have to be a bad guy; he could change if he wanted to. She tends to hang onto this until it's completely impossible for her to deny anymore that she's fighting a losing battle. This is largely because, as mentioned before, she wants to see the best in people and wants to help them reach what she perceives to be their full potential. It sincerely hurts her when she fails in these endeavors because she cares so much.

● weaknesses: ...Caitlin has a big heart and loves with every ounce of it. No, really, that's actually a big flaw on her part, more often than it isn't. The thing is that Caitlin tends to think with her heart more than her mind, which is a shame, because it tends to bite her in the ass at least as often as it doesn't. She's manipulated fairly easily because of this, as well. She wants to believe that all people are inherently good and she'll look for the tiniest inkling that she's right in that regard about a person, which can and has made her incredibly vulnerable to manipulation. It has put her in more than a couple of bad situations and she tends to get hurt that way, emotionally, as well.

As a doctor, Caitlin sometimes has a tendency to come off as a little bit cold and clinical. That's a reflexive objectivity coming out and when she gets called out on it or notices it on her own, a much warmer side of her comes out and that is who Caitlin truly is. In addition, the way her emotions tend to control her does make it a little more difficult for her to keep herself stable as Caitlin instead of slipping into Killer Frost if she's using her abilities. She can be brought back from that, but it takes the right approach with the right sentiments, so it's better if she can avoid using Killer Frost's abilities at all.

Her alter-ego, when taking control, creates a sort of split personality. When Killer Frost takes over, it is quite literally Killer Frost and Caitlin Snow ceases to be in control. Killer Frost is crueler and more sarcastic. She's angry and vindictive and becomes completely disassociated from empathy or regard for human life. Her tunnel vision and rage combined with the cryokinesis can be — and have been — incredibly dangerous. This is the reason she keeps the necklace on at all times, because it blocks Killer Frost from bubbling to the surface. Lose the necklace and she can turn fairly quickly into something dark and ugly.
