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: Yuri Plisetsky
● canon: Yuri!!! On Ice
● canon point: Post S1
● age: 15

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

● abilities:

Yuri has no supernatural abilities to speak of, however he is a world class athlete. He has an incredible range of flexibility, an ingrown sense of timing, and strong endurance. He has been on the top of the podium since he began to compete, and while he hasn't competed at an Olympic level in the series yet, it's definitely implied that he's ready to compete at an Olympic level.

● strengths:

At the heart of him, Yuri is a perfectionist. Nothing else will satisfy him, and once he sets his mind to a goal he focuses on it with an undivided, single minded drive. He will not bend, he will not compromise. He will only allow himself to achieve. His driven nature and determination are one of his greatest strengths, and with it even when he loses he is able to pick himself up, and push himself to do better.

For all of Yuri's hard edges, there is no doubt that he cares, and cares deeply. He may hide it beneath thorns and crass words, but he is utterly devoted to those whom he considers worthwhile. In his own prickly way, he'll defend, and even challenge when necessary, those he cares about. His loyalty is lifelong; not easily earned, but unflappable.

Yuri is extremely confident; he knows he's talented, and wields this knowledge as a weapon of it's own. He has moments of self-doubt, but he tries not to allow others to ever see these moments, or covers it up with his abrasive behaviours. In his world, there's very little room for doubts. His ambition is to be the best- and he cannot achieve that if he allows himself to be caught up in such things. Even if it means fighting tooth and nail with everything he has, he's hard working enough to get what he wants, and back up his mouth with his actions.

● weaknesses:

Yuri is rude. Period. He's loud, vicious, swears, and unafraid to speak his mind if he feels it suits him. He puts on a tough act, and can be quite arrogant, but it's in part to keep people at arms length. That, and he's a teenager! Going through puberty is never easy, let alone in the public eye as Russia's next rising star. This pressure adds to his desire to act out; looking to carve out his own place in the skating world that isn't in Viktor's shadow.

Whether it's getting on the back of a stranger's motorcycle to escape his fans, or flying to Japan alone to track down a rinkmate to hold up a promise, Yuri is definitely impulsive. He doesn't consider the results of his actions beyond whether or not they'll achieve something he wants. It can lead him to overlooking the bigger picture, causing him to come across as narrow minded, or even cause him to underestimate those around him.

He is also deeply competitive, and his drive to win and be the best that he can, and to push himself can cause him to worry. He fears what will happen as he grows up, making him a known worrier about the changes his body is experiencing as he moves into adulthood. These fears are things he keeps tightly under wraps, and can often be seen taking his frustrations and fears out on others. He thinks he's great at hiding these fears and feelings, but he isn't, and lashes out whenever anyone notices or tries to address these fears of his. He struggles with expressing emotions that aren't anger; he's used anger as a defense and expression for so long that in some ways, he can come across as emotionally stunted and lacking in empathy for it. But he does try.

● skills (optional): N/A
● housing (optional): shared ~~he would spend way too much time screaming at everyone in communal~~

● network username: ice.tigrrr

● network sample:

I want to know whose stupid idea it was to inhabit this shithole. Seriously; have you morons even taken a look around lately?! There isn't even a crappy Starbucks to be found! Starbucks isn't even that great, but then at least you know you aren't in some backwater rat trap! Listen maybe some of you think being shoved in a room with a stranger is perfectly normal, but I think it's BULLSHIT!! I've been here half a day and I'm already this close to kicking in somebody's HEAD!!!!

What the hell do I have to do to get some decent lodgings around here? Or even a half decent god damn meal! I'm not going to be some beggar on the street for this place's scraps! If the lot of you are happy to sit around and wait to be monster food that's your prerogative, but I for one have already had E N O U G H.

● prose/action sample: from the tdm

"welcome to riverview quarantine"

Thank you so much mods! This will be the journal I'll be using.

Just a quick question regarding housing. You mentioned that you didn't think he'd fit well with communal housing. Would you prefer him to have to deal with one roommate, or would you like him to live on one of the private floors? I just realized I had not included one in my dummy text layout, so you may not have been aware of the option.

● There are 3 private floors, which have 10 individual units for one person each; every unit has a private bathroom, single bed, and desk; kitchen, dining room, living area with entertainment center, and balcony are all shared space.

Let me know your preference and I can reassign his room if needed!

I definitely want him to suffer a little and him having to deal with a roommate is perfect for that. Communal housing would be too much but a roommate is just right! So I'm really happy about the current arrangement. :3 Thank you so much!

Perfect, thank you.
