Application Post

[anemoisity]

Please read over the rules and information posts before applying in order to minimize confusion.

• Players are limited to five characters.


• Samples can be written in first or third person.

<b>Name:</b> Your name or preferred handle, whatever you want us to call you.. <b>Personal Journal:</b> <b>Contact Info:</b> Any other way of contacting you. IM screen names, e-mail address, etc. <b>Character Name:</b> If they'll start out remembering a name other than their first name, please make a note of it. <b>Character Series:</b> Toss a link to a general overview of the canon. Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted! <b>Background:</b> Again, a wiki link to the character's background will generally suffice. A combination of this and the above canon overview should give a good explanation. Given the nature of the game, this is not only necessary, but we will require you to write something yourself if there's no explanatory source. <b>Point in Canon:</b> When are you taking your character from? <b>Personality:</b> The more detailed here, the better. This lets us get a good feel for the character. Please try to back up your details with canon examples when you're getting past their basic character and more in-depth. Generally, we want to see at least four good-sized paragraphs. <b>Sample Entry:</b> Please write as if you've already been accepted and playing for some time. Introduction posts of "what is this where am I what is this crazy place" are likely to be shot down if there's nothing else there. Musebox posts will be acceptable, posts at testrun-box are preferred, Dear Mun is not acceptable.

VILLAIN APPS:

Villain apps are currently OPEN.

• There is a limit of three villains in the game at one time. There is currently one villain slot available.


• Playing a villain will not count against your five character limit.


• Be sure to note somewhere in the title of your app that you’re apping into a villain slot.


• For more information on villains, see this page.

Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted! <b>Background:</b> Again, a wiki link to the character's background will generally suffice. If none exists, a bare-bones overview will do. <b>Point in Canon:</b> When are you taking your character from? <b>Personality:</b> This doesn’t have to be as detailed as an app for a normal character would be, but it still has to demonstrate an understanding of your character and how they operate. Three solid paragraphs is a good estimate of what we’re looking for. <b>Plans:</b> You don’t have to outline a whole plot right here and now, just give us an idea of why you’ve chosen to app this character as a villain, and what sort of things you have in mind for them to do to antagonize the other characters. <b>Sample Entry:</b> Please write as if you've already been accepted and playing for some time.

Character Name: Yuri Volte Hyuga
Character Series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Hearts
Background: http://shadowhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Yuri_Hyuga - he’s taken from the beginning of Covenant
Personality: Yuri is a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, and a Perverted Idiot Hero – that’s the first impression most people will get when encountering the guy. And in a way, that’s not actually too far off the mark. He can quite rude to strangers, and with the exceptions of Alice and Karin, he can be a jerk even to friends and traveling companions, though not out of malice but rather he doesn’t have the proper understanding of how to show his emotions to others. And with most beautiful women, Yuri tends to be openly lecherous – kneeling in front of Karin to peek up her skirt, or Oogling a dancer. While he may complain about going out of his way, he will help those in need.

While he acts like he is the only sane person in the group – he really isn’t. The man’s terrified of ghosts despite being able to turn into god-like monsters, is sarcastic and rude when he really shouldn’t be. And he also behaves like a horny teenager as stated above – making his age really surprising to people. There is also that crippling seasickness of his.

The idiot hero comes from that Yuri had little formal education due to being an orphan, and his general disinterest in seeking out information if it isn’t an urgent business – half the time, while someone gives plot exposition, he will be napping, dancing with a wolf, or otherwise not paying attention. However, he makes up for his lack of book smarts with street cunning and genre savviness – correctly identifying a creepy town as being full of cannibalistic monsters, or that the vizier (or rather Russian Mystic) is evil. He can’t tell you the names of famous Chinese Generals, but he can create some cunning ambushes if he set his mind to it – he just generally doesn’t, he's too lazy.

With this savvy comes cockiness. Yuri had punched out things that’s virtually Cthulhu, and thus he tends to not take enemies seriously – usually openly mocking them, or in one hilarious example, ignoring the guy’s ranting completely to ask where he got his cool floating pillow. Generally his power level is such that this level of nonchalance usually isn’t a problem, but he had on occasion got his ass handed back to him.

But on the other hand, he’s still in mourning over Alice, and blames himself for her death – pulling a Lancelot and running away from all civilization for nearly a year after her death. He also tries to hide how much his Harmonixer powers scares him, since before gaining control in SH1 and losing it after the Mistletoe Curse, Yuri feels forcibly fused with vengeful demonic souls – and the Mistletoe Curse’s eventual draining of his memories and willpower terrifies him to no end. To Yuri, the risk of permanently becoming a rampaging monster is the worst fate conceivable to him, he felt the sensation of mindless destruction once during a botched fusion with the Seraphic Radiance, and he never wanted to feel that sensation ever again.

Sample Entry: http://testrun-box.livejournal.com/271116.html?thread=9112588#t9112588 - Jerk
http://d-versus-d.livejournal.com/48469.html?thread=1908565#t1908565 - Moron or that scared of ghosts?

ACCEPTED

[anemoisity.livejournal.com]

Thanks for applying! Your app has been accepted, but I am going to give you a note to please refrain from using tropes as a description in the future. Not all of them are clear/known to us and it would take longer to look them up. But as you described them right after, we're giving you a pass this time. Also because it is partly our fault we didn't think to note that in the rules.

Anyways, please
follow the directions given here, and welcome to the game!
