riverviewmod | riverview: applications

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)

player information
● name: Deanna
● age: 30
● contact: PMs mostly, plurk is rainbowbles, but it's rarely used
● other characters: None

character information
● name: Mantis
● canon: Guardians of the Galaxy MCU
● canon point: End of Vol. 2
● age: Mid-20’s-ish (I’m supposing, she was once a larva)

● (canon) background: Here

● abilities: She has empathic abilities, allowing to her to sense and even feel the emotions of those she touches. Mantis also has the ability to alter the emotions of others via touch, including the inducement of sleep, or compliance, but her powers have limits and are only temporary. She is also hardy in terms of an ability to withstand injury and maintain balance.

● strengths: Aside from the previously mentioned abilities, Mantis possess a certain (somewhat newly discovered) moral strength of character, and a strong desire to learn and grow beyond the rather isolated life she has thus far lived. She is generally non-threatening, if that could be considered a strength, and very forgiving. Mantis is also usually willing to capitulate to most any authority figure or authoritative figure in her vicinity (though this can of course be a double-edged sword). In general, she’s pretty delighted with any new experience (which is a lot of them), and eager to be helpful.
● weaknesses: Mantis is shy and completely socially unexperienced, as well as unexperienced with any world outside of the planet she grew up on. As such she’s prone to obliviousness and mistakes, and often the point has a tendency to escape her, but she makes a genuine effort. She’s not really the best at expressing herself verbally, and as the nature of her most-prominent abilities would suggest, Mantis can be pretty emotional.

● job skills (optional): She’s good at helping to calm minds and help people sleep? On the other hand, she’d probably be pretty terrifying as a counselor or a therapist. Is there a market for subduing people? She would totally offer sleep therapy sessions. That’s not creepy at all.

● network username: mantis!
(exclamation included)

● network sample: good morning!!!
i had very strange dreams and when i woke there were funny noises next door
did the noises make the dreams? i wonder..
how were your dreams?

what is a hamster?

● prose/action sample:
[There is a strange excitement vibrating through her, and Mantis lets loose an involuntary giggle and feels the wind whipping her hair back over her shoulders as she leans out over the edge of the balcony wall and stares down at the sea of greenery that engulfs everything. There is so much here, so many beings, so much life - real life – not the life Ego created for himself but true, organic life.

She finds it invigorating, surrounded by it all. So many people, feeling so many different things, and Mantis wants to feel them all. The head-rush of it all, the abundance of freedom and choices she now possesses is so far from what she has always known that Mantis can’t control the nervous, fluttery, nauseous feeling that accompanies it]

I might be sick! [she exclaims cheerfully to no one in particular, the sound of it somewhat drowned out by the rumble of a SkyTram speeding by. It is kind of a new feeling, and also one Mantis isn’t sure is entirely her own, but if she starts to question that, she might really be sick. She hardly knows what to do with herself, though she supposes, exploring would be a first step. She endeavors to meet at least one new person, and perhaps try not to get herself killed on her first day.]
