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: Valvatorez
Character Series: http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Disgaea_4:_A_Promise_Unforgotten
Background: http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Valvatorez
Point in Canon: After end of game, before any post-game content.
Personality:
Valvatorez is a demon. In Disgaea's setting, this means a great many things, not all of them what one might expect - he's evil, ostensibly, but only in the sense that he terrorizes humans on occasion (or did in the past) and refuses to associate with angels (even that is suspect at best). He's accustomed to a society defined by violence and chaos, where might makes right and political debats often end in physical combat. However, despite all this, he's a relatively nice guy - he works educating the lowest class of demons (prinnies), and loves it. When he sees a netherworld lain low by a corrupt government, he fights for social and political reform - literally fights, that is, but this IS the netherworld we're talking about.

Despite being a vampire, Valvatorez never takes the blood of humans, despite repeated attempts from his right-hand man Fenrich to trick him into doing so. The result of this is that he's lost nearly all of his once-immense power, but he doesn't seem to mind. The REASON he won't drink human blood is because of a promis he made 400 years ago - a human named Artina offered him her blood out of the kindness of her heart, and he prmoised not to accept it until he could make her fear demons. She died tragically before he could fulfill his promise, and the event emotionally impacted him gravely. Not only does he keep that promise to this day, but he keeps EVERY promise he makes, no matter what the cost. A particular side effect of this is that, in place of human blood, Valvatorez has developed a bit of a fixation on sardines. He eats them almost obsessively, praises their health benefits to no end, and will go on and on about sardine trivia, even if nobody's listening.

Valvatorez's least demonic trait is his incredible faith in others. He consistently assumes that people are good, reliable people at heart, even when there is little to no reason to. This extends to demons, humans, or angles without discrimination. The positive side of this is that he attracts a tight core of respectable friends, who trust him as well as he trust them, and forms incredibly strong bonds with his friends and comrades. The downside of this is that he's a gullible moron. It's far from uncommon for people to make the most ridiculous claims to Valvatorez, such as all of reality being a dream that somebody else is having, and he'll instantly take the word as law. The only way to dissuade him is for someone he trusts even more to point out how ridiculous he's being, at which point he usually gets back to sane business.

Valvatorez is a politician, but to him, the role is a means to an end. He spends the better part of his canon attempting to ovethrow the netherworld corrupterment (demon equivalent of government) and become the next president, but even that is a side goal - wht he really wants is for the netherworld to be a better place for respectable demons to live. Once he has the role, and learns that the problems the netherworld faces are more complex than a faulty corrupterment, he abandons the title of president to whoever wants it in order to pursue his real goals. As a likely former Overlord, though, he's quite adept in the world of netherworld politics, although he would likely be confused at least initially by the human equivalent.
