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: Gamora
● canon: MCU (Guardians of the Galaxy)
● canon point: Post-Vol. 2
● age: 25

● background: Here is her wiki page!

● abilities:

» MODIFICATIONS: There are a number of physical implants and modifications that have been made to Gamora, courtesy of Thanos. These include a CYBERNETIC SKELETON, OCULAR AND RESPIRATORY IMPLANTS, and a BIOAUGMENTED HEALING FACTOR. The cybernetics make her far more durable than what was already natural for her species, while the implants in her eyes and lungs allow for enhanced vision and respiratory functions, respectively. The healing factor allows her to recover from injuries and infections incredibly quickly, though more extensive damage will take notable time.

» ALIEN PHYSIOLOGY: Gamora is a Zehoberei, who naturally possess strength, speed, and durability that surpasses the average human. Her nervous system is also much more developed, and this gives her a higher sensory perception than other species. She also has two livers, which filter toxins (including alcohol) through her system at a faster rate.

» COMBAT TRAINING: Gamora has lived most of her life being constantly trained to be a master combatant. She's skilled with both hand-to-hand techniques and many varied weapons.

» WEAPONS MASTERY + MARKSMANSHIP: As mentioned above, Gamora has been training for years to reach peak performance with all manner of weaponry. Her preference is her sword, Godslayer, but she's also highly proficient with guns, knives, and whatever she may have on hand.

● strengths:

» COURAGEOUS: Gamora is flat-out incredibly brave. She will risk her life for the other Guardians and throw herself into a situation if it means saving someone she cares about (or, in general, to do the right thing). She's confident in herself and her abilities, and that translates into her willingness to face challenges head-on.

» COMPASSIONATE: Though she often presents herself as someone unmovable and uncaring, Gamora is kind. She cares a great deal for her friends, but she's also willing to care for strangers and innocents. She has a big heart, and she'll go out of her way for the people she loves (but also probably stab anyone who actually tries to expose how very much she cares).

» HONORABLE: Gamora values honor, and though her own ethics may seem grey at times, she has a moral code that she adheres to, now that she has the chance to make her own decisions in life.

» INDEPENDENT: Though Gamora sees the value in teamwork and collaborates well with the other Guardians, she's also fiercely determined to exercise her own freedoms. She is discovering what it means to be her own person, rather than a weapon or a tool at someone else's disposal, and that's important to her.

● weaknesses:

» STUBBORN: Gamora has an iron will, and while she's the type to stick to her guns, that can often mean she's uncompromising or reluctant to see others' viewpoints. She will argue and question and intimidate, because if she thinks she's right, it's hard to make her budge.

» RUTHLESS: There is little room for mercy when Gamora is determined to kill or maim someone. She's brutal when she fights, and she isn't afraid to take a life — though she's far more discerning about it than she was while under Thanos's control. She doesn't like collateral damage, but her aggression and tendency to defer to violence isn't exactly the best approach.

» ABRASIVE: Gamora is blunt almost to a fault, and her harsh responses to others come more easily than they probably should. She doesn't spare feelings for the sake of flattery, and she's likely to be forthright and a little too honest. She doesn't trust easily, and she'll make sure you know it.

● job skills: Combat training (hand-to-hand and various weaponry), assassin's training, extensive knowledge of tactics and strategy.

● housing: Shared housing with that one loser— I mean, Peter Quill.

● network username: gamora

● network sample: Here!

● prose/action sample: Here!
