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.

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: Angeal Hewley
● canon: Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII
● canon point: Death
● age: 25

● (canon) background: here.
● (original) world: N/A

● abilities: Angeal is an excellent swordsman, able to face Sephiroth and Genesis simultaneously in battle, by using his treasured buster sword's handle to block Sephiroth’s blow and a soldier Shin Ra sword to block Genesis. For his sword skills, he mainly uses the soldier sword and only once in a great while does the Buster sword see use. He doesn’t use magic really, except once, but relies on his strength and swordsmanship to handle any difficulties.

His strength is immense, able to wield the Buster sword with one hand, and leap through the air with it. And even though he has the strength and skill to wield the sword, he is shown getting into a fighter's stance with his bare hands and his attacks are physical blows when Zack lines his picture up in the dmw slot wheels, which is a limit break or a move capable of dealing very heavy damage.

Angeal is also skilled with technology such as cell phones or computer or simulation equipment. He can also make copies of himself and they do his bidding, having received Jenova cells, allowing him to absorb creature traits and implant them. But even with all of the things he can do, he is still susceptible to degradation, which is akin to premature aging and graying/whitening of the hair from having received Jenova cells and the ability to produce copies.

He had one other ability and that's the ability to fly with the white wings he has, one is large and one is smaller, both on his right shoulder, and they enable him to fly with ease. And at one point, he had a few different creatures merge with him to create a boss creature known as Angeal Penance. Angeal also had the ability to direct one of the creatures that made up the boss after his death to protect those Zack cared about and deliver a letter to Zack from Aerith. So he could direct these creatures to watch over Zack even though he was dead.

● strengths:

Loyal: Angeal refers to Genesis as 'the wealthy man's son' and that said person was his friend one day when he's walking with Zack to their mission in Wutai. Angeal grew up poor and never took a dumbapple from the 'wealthy man's estate/tree' for that reason. And when Genesis later defected from ShinRa, Angeal took it hard and silently upon himself to go look for him.

Protector: Angeal is very patient with his subordinate Zack Fair. And no matter what the other gets into, Angeal is there to help. In Wutai, Zack had been battling a behemoth and Angeal showed up at the end of it, finishing off a monster so it wouldn't harm Zack. Before that, Angeal had protected him from the computer generated Sephiroth program. And he took the hit on Zack's fallen blade in order to keep his subordinate safe from harm.

Caring:. The three First Classmen had been dueling and Genesis received an injury through a simulator program by breaking his sword and a piece hit his shoulder. When Genesis becomes hurt, Angeal shows concern though the other brushes off the incident saying it's just a scratch. It turned out though that the scratch went further than that, and required a blood transfusion. Angeal is there waiting for news along with Sephiroth, and when they hear the news, Angeal moves Sephiroth out of the way to do a blood transfusion for his friend.

● weaknesses:

Self hatred/loathing - Angeal had sprouted white wings, one larger, one smaller and both on the right side. When Angeal confronts Zack and shows his wings, he thinks that they're hideous and something only a monster would have, saying that he's become a monster. Zack refutes this, and says that they're not monster's wings they're the wings of an angel. Somewhat confused by this, Angeal asks what an angel should fight for and concludes with saying that all angels dream of is to be human.

Confused - He always went on and on about honour and how one should embrace their dreams. But when he defects from ShinRa to follow Genesis, Angeal teamed up with Genesis against ShinRa at one point. And when his mother commits suicide, Angeal doesn't try and defend himself against accusations, even literally turning his back on Zack, walking off alone. He turns and works for the 'enemy' Professor Hollander, and protects him from Zack as well. However, later Angeal comes back to his senses and puts some work in for ShinRa again.

Secretive When Genesis goes missing, Angeal tells no one of his plans to go find his childhood friend. And although he's left Zack in line for a Promotion which he didn't tell Zack of until last minute, Angeal takes off after the Wutai mission to go look for his friend. Also he never stated to Zack that the wealthy man's son was none other than Genesis.

Guilt When Zack faces Genesis, afterwards Angeal shows remorse, saying that he was the one that should've dealt with Genesis. And when his mother kills herself, Angeal is numb, and later states that his mother could not continue to live, nor can the son.

● job skills (optional):
● housing (optional): No preference

● network username: Angeal.Hewley

● network sample: (From a previous game)

[The device turns on to show a garden which belongs to someone else and Angeal is outside in the back looking at a sapling of a Dumbapple tree. The slightest trace of humour is present in the tone.]

I see you managed to actually grow one of these things without killing it.

[The device pans around to show a few more things growing and Angeal kneels down and checks a few, this time his tone is completely serious, being experienced at having grown plants back home.]

Hope you have a watering can, these other ones are going to dry up soon and die if they're not watered.

[Angeal turns and is overheard talking to someone unseen. With a sigh and shake of the head, he's given a watering can.]

I'm not going to do this every day I hope you know.

[The feed shuts off.]

● prose/action sample: (From a previous game)

Angeal's eyes lifted to the pale full orb in the sky, judging by it to be somewhere near midnight. Taking a deep breath of the night air, he sighed and tried to relax, thinking on the mission for tomorrow. Wutai was no different than any other mission, yet Zack was late and Angeal checked his watch a few times. They were supposed to over last minute things and plans and Angeal wanted to make sure Zack had everything straight. In the other's over zealousness and eagerness, it was easy for him to overlook and forget some really important things at times.

Finally Zack appeared and he received a sigh and Angeal folding his arms across his chest. After Zack received a lecture, Angeal then went over the basics like formations and orders. He half wondered if his young student was actually getting all of it, but sometimes (ok well most times really) repeating things didn’t hurt and actually helped because they were missed the first time around. Luckily Angeal had patience and people always benefited from that, Zack especially.

Once Zack left, Angeal shook his head and watched the departing figure. He couldn’t know of the promotion he was about to receive, nor had Angeal let it slip. But it was time, he had other things to do which didn’t involve the current hierarchy, but it was a decision he’d made and come to out of a lifelong loyalty to a friend. That was something Shinra couldn’t even bother to even try to compare to in any way shape or form. He’d told no one of his plans, not even Sephiroth. This was something he had to do on his own. If he was lucky, he could bring Genesis back home, because otherwise he would be hunted down like a dog.
