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: Badou Nails
● canon: DOGS: Bullets & Carnage
● canon point: End of chapter 101
● age: Not canonically stated, but like early to mid 20's.

● (canon) background: There's not a good wiki page for the series, so I had to write a brief summary of his involvement in the story myself.

● abilities: As one of the normal people in the series, Badou doesn't have much in the way of powers. Or abilities, for that matter. He's good at running, fairly decent at shooting, and it's been shown that he's good at stuff like sewing because his older brother was a loser that couldn't take care of them. When it comes to weaknesses, the only major one is his addiction to tobacco. Lack of smokes does still, on occasion, cause him to go into a horrible rage.

● strengths:

level-headed: Badou has grown to be able to deal with pretty much any situation he ends up in pretty calmly. In the beginning of the series, he's shown as having a crippling nicotine addiction that causes him to go off on rampages if he goes without, but he progresses past the point where that is an issue and is able to keep his cool even when faced with the cause of his brother's death.

loyal: Like everything else good about him, Badou's loyalty constantly puts his life at risk. He'll step into a situation he knows he has no reason to be in to save one of his friends or find out more about his brother's death.

compassionate: Despite all the times that various people around him have tried to kill him, Badou accepts everyone as a human worthy of compassion. When Noki is injured during the fight to get into the facility under the city, he puts himself at risk to make sure she gets back out to the upper levels of the city and to safety.

● weaknesses:

closed off: While he's not as cold as Heine or Naoto, Badou doesn't really talk about his past or his emotions unless prompted to. Not that he has an issue with it once it's brought up, but he doesn't go out of his way to talk about himself.

reckless: His loyalty and compassion puts his life at risk more than he cares to admit. It isn't something that he blames anyone else for, but he is usually having to fight for his life in order to also save someone else.

selfish: The other side of his loyalty is that everything he does is with the intent of finding out more about what happened to his brother. Even when he's going to do something that will save a friend, his mind is still on what he can do to get more information.

● skills (optional): Pretty much a jack of all trades, but excels in journalistic or investigative ventures.
● housing (optional): No housing preferences.

● network username: badou

● network sample:

sample 1 and sample 2

● prose/action sample:

sample 1

sample 2:

[It felt like he'd already been in this weird city for years, even though it had only been a couple weeks. Not that he really had any room to call this place weird, considering where he'd come from. The general feeling of "weird" came more from pretty much immediately needing to find a job and almost live life as if he'd never be going back home again. Lucky for him, there were plenty of jobs to choose from. But, he chose to work at a convenience store as something easy to do while he figured out what to do next. He could help people with their purchases without needing to stop thinking about his plans.

As the days went on, he found himself wondering if he even wanted to go back home. But of course he did, right? Heine was obviously in trouble, and he needed to get back to help him and make sure everyone else was okay. But the more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that he might be dead. Sure, everyone insisted that this wasn't the afterlife, but what reason does anyone here have to tell the truth? There had to be somewhere he could find some actual information. There was a library in the city, maybe that could have something. He thought it was unlikely that there would be anything there but... It was as good a place as any to start looking.

Finally having a direction to go with his search, he leaned against the counter and smiled. His mind was suddenly clearer than it had been in days, all the useless clutter of his doubts swept away by actually having a potentially attainable goal. A small goal, to be sure, but a goal nonetheless.]
