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.

Name: Your name or preferred handle, whatever you want us to call you..
Personal Journal:
Contact Info: Any other way of contacting you. IM screen names, e-mail address, etc.

Character Name: If they'll start out remembering a name other than their first name, please make a note of it.
Character Series: Toss a link to a general overview of the canon. Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted! 
Background: 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.
Point in Canon: When are you taking your character from?
Personality: 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.
Sample Entry: 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.

Character Name:
Character Series: Toss a link to a general overview of the canon. Canon-specific wikis or Wikipedia are accepted!
Background: Again, a wiki link to the character's background will generally suffice. If none exists, a bare-bones overview will do.
Point in Canon: When are you taking your character from?
Personality: 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.
Plans: 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.

Character Name: Vriska Serket
Character Series: Homestuck (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Homestuck)
Background: http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Vriska
Point in Canon: Immediately following being backstabbed by Terezi. So, late Act 5-2.
Personality:

...okay, in all seriousness, it's true, Vriska really is a huge bitch. While this is true of most trolls, she takes it up to the next level in a wide variety of ways. Her primary passtime is manipulating people into doing her bidding. Oh, murder, too. She's killed hundreds of people and fed them to her enormous spider guardian. She also murders at one other named character in cold blood, and arranges events that lead to the deaths of many more. She brings about the genesis of the monster that destroyed her world, just so that she could be the one to defeat it. She once built a building for her wheelchair-bound friend entirely out of staircases. Vriska is a monster, and not only knows it, but revels in the fact.

Of course, there's more to it than that. While she is definitely horrible, she's far from as horrible as she'd like you to think. She often tries to reconcile friendships broken by her past atrocities, and is genuinely sad when she fails. Most of the killing she does is because otherwise, the aforementioned giant spider would starve to death, leaving her alone in the world and ripe for the culling. She actually resents it for forcing her to kill so many people. Does this make her a good person? Heavens, no, but it's enough to make the judgment of "evil" a bit harder to place.

At her core, Vriska can best be described as a self-loathing massive failure. Her manipulation skills are far below how she percieves them; she can seldom manipulate anyone without resorting to using psychic powers on them, and is often manipulated by others without realizing it. She refuses to accept responsibility for her actions much of the time, instead complaining at length about her own terrible 'luck,' which is often the direct results of her own actions. If a massive explosion kills your guardian, maybe you shouldn't have suspended a doomsday device above it. She likes having people to be close to, but constantly pushes people away from herself and burns the bridges behind them by being a raging asshole. When hounded or stressed, she is prone to sudden bouts of self-directed insults.

And this brings us to the subject of relationships. Troll relationships are very complicated (http://smell-no-evil.livejournal.com/526.html), and Vriska's self-destructive tendencies don't make them any simpler. With her endless mean streak, you might think that she'd be very successful at black romance, but you'd be wrong - since she sort of hates the world in general, it's hard for her to work up the proper levels of loathing for that special someone. She's more capable of harboring flushed feelings (she has them for at least one other troll and two humans in canon), but that's where her aforementioned bridge-burning tendencies become an issue. By the time she has a crush on someone, nine times out of ten she's already antagonized them to the point of wanting nothing to do with her. Emotionally confused young lady that she is, Vriska will sometimes flip back and forth between calignious and flushed romance if one or the other is left unrequited, leading to her antagonizing and seducing the same person in alternate moments. This makes pretty much nobody happy, and just leaves her more frustrated and spiteful.

Changing canon point to when she was dying on her quest bed. I'll play with God Tier via future canon updating.

Follow some instructions to effectively troll John!
