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)

● name: Joly

character information
● name: Yonah
● canon: NieR Gestalt
● canon point: End of Part 1
● age: 10

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

● abilities: She can cross her eyes and roll her eyes to the back of her head. Other then that, she's an average, but sickly child with no supernatural abilities.

● strengths:

Friendly and Caring - Regardless of whether you're her family member or not, Yonah is openly friendly to all kinds of people. She shows concern over someone she'd never met face-to-face and hopes for happy endings for fictional characters in her story books. She's the type of child to offer or share a cookie while putting her own needs behind her. In her letters, she worries for her father while he's gone for days and warns him not to push himself too hard. It also hardly bothers her that her father is friends with Weiss, a talking and flying book, which isn't something an average person would see every day. She's quick to treat Weiss as a friend, even giving him a cute pet name like "Weissey."

Energetic - As expected of most young children, Yonah is a cheerful bundle of energy, despite her frail health. She keeps an upbeat personality around others. While she's unable to perform most physical activities, she's always excited to talk about her dreams and how her day went. She allows her imagination to run wild, picturing herself as a princess when thrown a large birthday party by the people of her village. Indoor activities keep her entertained, such as reading books, writing letters, creating new entries in her diary, or singing out loud.

Dedicated - She devotes herself greatly to the people she cares for, most especially her father. Whenever she can, she tries to be helpful and find ways to make her father happy. Her strong devotion leads her to attempt learning new tasks such as trying to cook and sing. Her dedication can even drive her as far as wandering off to a temple to find a cure for her illness, without any regards how dangerous it may be on her own.

● weaknesses:

Physically weak - The Black Scrawl is incurable and though Yonah can sometimes go for days acting healthy and cheerful, there's no telling when she'll suddenly turn over aching in pain or coughing violently. Though there is no cure, she takes medicine to temporarily ease the pain. Unknown to Yonah, she's a Replicant, a clone of a Gestalt. Gestalts are the souls of the original humans, meant to fuse with the Replicants. She has no soul, but gained her own will like many other Replicants. Secondly, she's unaware that her "illness" is actually a malfunction. Her Replicant body was created from the data of the original Yonah, a half-relapsed Gestalt kept in stasis. As a result, Replicant Yonah will always have the Black Scrawl.

Selfish - Her selfishness mainly stems from her loneliness. More than anything, she wants her father to spend more time with her. She puts on a cheerful face when in reality, she's lonely and frightened of what might become of her. Even after Devola and Popola spend time with her, she's immediately saddened the second they leave her. In one of her unsent, trashed letters to her father, she had written "I just need you by my side." She mostly keeps her selfish desire to herself or within writing, knowing that her father has to work to support her.

Guilt-ridden - Due to her health, she feels responsible for her father's hardships and grief. She feels a sense of guilt being unable to make herself useful. Her father worries about her especially, but it also pains her to see him spend energy on her. It's difficult to keep up the smiling facade for long and in one instance as she's being tucked into bed, she pleads for her father not to hate her.

● job skills (optional): N/A
● housing (optional): No preference, but hopefully near people who won't mind having someone as young as her around.

● network username: lunartears

● network sample:

Hello everyone!

I'm Yonah. Is this like writing letters to people, but faster? Can everyone see this? I see so many messages on this network thingy. It's amazing! It's never lonely.

Some of the messages are kind of hard for me to read. Can someone help me read them?
We can read it together! My dad used to read me his letters whenever he came home. It'll be fun!

Thank you for your application and welcome to Riverview! Please see the arrival page for an explanation of what will happen to your character on arrival.

● Yonah will be housed in Communal Housing; Floor 2, Bed 8.
● Yonah is too young to be assigned a job, but she will receive a bi-weekly stipend to live comfortably off of. She is invited to attend Riverview Elementary School after completing a short aptitude test to place her in the proper grade. Due to her age she will be assigned a government case worker who will drop by once a week to ensure that she is attending school and provide home-cooked meals, and who will help with finances and shopping to ensure she is thriving. This case worker will also accompany her on any outings to supervise and ensure her safety. While the case worker will have Yonah's best interests in mind, the case worker's personality/temperament is up to you. If you wish her to attend school, please fill in the information on the Occupations Page.
