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: One
● canon: Drakengard 3
● canon point: Branch D, before being killed by Zero.
● age: Physically, One is 15. Mentally, however, she is at least in her late twenties due to being the wisest and most knowledgeable of the sisters. But due to being revived as an Intoner, she is only two years old.

● (canon) background: Here!

● abilities:
One is an Intoner, and in her world that means she's essentially a god-like being. Intoners are strong, and they possess enhanced magic capabilities through the manipulation of magic via Songs. Intoners, while powerful enough on their own, can gain even more power if they choose to take on a disciple (someone that essentially exists to protect an Intoner and functions as a tool to control an Intoner's high sex drive). While not immune to magic, the fact she is an Intoner means she is a product thereof. Because of that, she can't necessarily be killed seeing as how she isn't human. Only other a dragon can (a blade made of a dragon's tooth, for example, can be utilized to kill Intoners). Because they're so strong, they always have some sort of side effect to it.

One's side effect is heightened senses. As said above, One is extremely sensitive. Things like her sense of taste, touch, smell, sight, and hearing are affected. Another thing to note is that every Intoner has an unusually high sex drive, One not excluded, however she is in better control of it than her sisters.

During battle, One has the ability to go into "Intoner Mode", which basically allows any Intoner to enter a state of extended power, allowing her to battle her enemies with a monstrous strength and speed. The flower that grants the Intoners the powers gives them a few other powers, such as a small amount of regenerative abilities.

● strengths:
MARTYR: One will always put everyone else, including her people and family, before her own needs. She dislikes the idea of imposing herself on others, and even to those she considers friends she becomes apprehensive about the idea itself. Because she's an Intoner, she puts the needs of others before herself in a heartbeat.

CAN'T TURN A BLIND EYE: --to injustice. One is someone who believes strongly in doing what she feels to be right. Which is true, to say that One will stand by when someone is being subjected to something worse than death is a misunderstanding. Throughout her time working to overthrow the corrupt lords, One makes different points as to why she's fighting: her purpose as an Intoner, her own desire, and the cruelty her people are suffering through. She goes as far as to fight in the front lines herself, against the men who fight for the lords she opposes. Despite your affiliation, so long as you're working with them, you're grouped within the category of "evil". One never has any hesitation to kill those that take away lives.. And by doing that, she'll be saving them.

KNOWLEDGEABLE: One, having her own private library, reads up on many topics. She's the type of person who finds it useful to digest any kind of information she can in case she can ever use it for herself, or against someone. She knows many spells, and more than likely knows the history of many cities and people who helped create the city she lives in. She is someone who enjoys learning new things, but if it isn't the type of information she wants, it's useless.

● weaknesses:

LOGICAL: One is a very serious and composed woman, someone who doesn't express what she may feel and often views things from a logical perspective rather than an emotional one. She has the capability to understand someones beliefs, and why they fight for them, but can choose to disagree. It's that reason why (among many) she remains in charge of the capital of the land shared between sisters. She acts with others best interests in mind, and that typically includes herself as the last subject.

CONDESCENDING: She takes satisfaction in knowing she's right, that reassurance that what she's doing isn't for naught and that she finally has a grasp on the situation. While she cares for humans, generally One considers herself to be a higher being because of her status as an Intoner. She likes the idea of being one step ahead, of gaining some kind of confidence in being an Intoner, and to be prepared.

CALCULATING: One is someone who will try and adapt to any sort of situation, or fault. She's a tactical thinker at her very best, using her intellect to aid her. She has no qualms on carrying through with a plan to kill someone so long as it means a better peace or outcome for those she is looking out for. Because she's so observant, she uses what she sees to formulate plans to benefit either her cause or herself, with no real regard for what may happen to the other part.

● job skills (optional): Knowledge of magic, great leadership skills, strategist.
● housing (optional): No preference!

● network username: 1

● network sample:

Hello.

[ The feed opens with a view of One, just her face. While not having this kind of technology in her own world, she's managed enough to figure out how to get the video on herself and broadcast. Her expression doesn't let on much of anything, only her voice giving away to her curiosity. ]

In regards to when we were all pulled to this quarantine, this city, I have a few questions. Do any of you think there was anything that could have triggered it? [ She pauses to elaborate a little more. ] That there was any purpose to choosing us specifically?

[ You can still see her roaming through the city in the background, brows raising slightly as she notices the drastic difference from building to building. ]

While having already spoken to a local, I'm curious about everyone's own thoughts about it.

Thank you.

[ It ends abruptly after that, with One reaching towards the device to cut it off. ]
