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: The Dag
● canon: Mad Max: Fury Road
● canon point: At the end of the movie
● age: No canon age but likely around 20??

CW: sexual assault/captivity from here on in
● (canon) background: Here's the wiki with a plot synopsis

● abilities: While it's not confirmed in any way, she does seem to have a preternatural sense for danger, noticing things a long time before the others do. This could just be that she's hyper-alert/perceptive, but there are vague hints by the creators that it's Something More.

● strengths:
> compassion: It's implied that all the wives except Toast have been captives from a very young age, and all aside from Cheedo have all been sexually assaulted by Joe. Despite this, all of them, including the Dag, have a strong sense of compassion towards others, even people who've been complicit in their captivity and abuse. Their final goal in returning to the Citadel is to make a better life for everyone, not just themselves. They also have a great deal of compassion for each other, and are willing to risk their lives to help each other, Max, and Furiosa.
> strength/bravery: It takes a lot to survive the conditions the wives were living under, and it takes even more strength to take such a huge risk to escape. They all gambled their lives (and in the Dag and Angharad's case, the lives of their babies) on the hope of finding something better,
> perceptive/quick on the uptake: The Dag is the first one to notice danger, and often the first to pick up on hints or plans that the others drop. She sees the approaching convoy before the rest of the wives, when Max attacks them, and she spots the lights from the Bullet Farmer's rig before anyone else. When Max starts describing his plan about retaking the Citadel, she and the Keeper of the Seeds are the first to pick up that he means to blow up the ravine, cutting off Joe's forces.

● weaknesses:
> anger: The Dag is the most quick to anger, she cruses at Nux when the others don't, and bites him while the rest of the wives are trying to pull him off Furiosa. It's understandable that she has a lot of rage after all the shit she's been through, but it ties into the second point below, because it leads to her making poor decisions. Regardless, it's definitely something she needs to work on, especially since it's likely a result of trauma. Someone get this girl to therapy.
> impulsive: As Max has them all at gunpoint, both Angharad and the Dag talk back, but she's the only one to outright try to antagonize him, which is stupid at best and incredibly dangerous at worst, since all they know of Max is that he fought Furiosa and tried to abandon them in the desert. She nearly throws herself out of the war rig trying to grab Angharad, and does the same again for Max, making split second decisions that put her in danger, just trying to save the people she cares about.
> inexperience: Though entirely not her fault, the Dag... hasn't really had much of a life. Kept captive since a young age, with most of her interactions limited to the other wives, Joe, and Miss Giddy, she doesn't have a whole lot of worldly experience. The wives are taught to read/write and while canon varies on whether books exist or not, they've at least received some lessons from Miss Giddy. The Dag has no experience in fending for herself, or with the world outside the vault she was kept in, and it's going to take her a while to adjust to the world.

● job skills: If asked, she genuinely won't have anything to tell them, but she may mention being interested in horticulture.
● housing: She's probably going to be uncomfortable rooming with any dudes, so shared w/ a lady roommate or private is fine!

● network username: dag

● network sample: the first thread here!

● prose/action sample: and the second thread here!

● note: She's pregnant! She's not showing at all yet, so it's still very early, but she'd definitely got a bun in the oven. Since there's already a pregnant character in game I figured this was cool, but thought I should make a note.
