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.

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.

Yuri Petrov | Tiger & Bunny | not reserved 2

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

Personality:
Yuri Petrov is a man with two faces: one he shows the world, and one he keeps a secret. Outwardly, he is calm, controlled, and polite. He is a man concerned with his civic duty, dedicated to making the community a better place. Though not particularly warm and somewhat reserved, he isn't an unfriendly person. He might be more formal in manner than most, but he can appear affable enough in social situations. He has a subtle, slightly dry sense of humor that some find appealing. In spite of his largely logical, practical attitude, he has a love of and flair for the dramatic that others might catch glimpses of every now and again. He is confident without being arrogant, but he doesn't suffer fools lightly. There is an end to his patience, and he can become frustrated with those he finds particularly trying. He does his best to keep his temper in check, and this frustration usually shows itself as sarcasm or a certain iciness of manner. In some ways, this persona is a façade, for Yuri leads a double life. His identity as the impartial judge serves as a cover for his alter ego, for he is also the vigilante Lunatic. As polite and even-tempered as he appears outwardly, inwardly, he is much more negative, critical and cynical.

When not at work, Yuri keeps to himself. He may be mannerly and eloquent in public, but he is difficult to get to know privately. He has little personal life to speak of. He spends much of his free time in contemplation and research. His hobbies are quiet ones. He likes to read, research, and sew, and he has a great fondness for tea, often brewing and tasting different varieties. He trains in secret, becoming ever more adept at the use of his power. He does this because he has a dream, a passion that drives him.

For Yuri is haunted by his past and by the hidden depth of his suppressed emotions. He has never recovered from what he views as his murder of his father. He has not sought help of any kind, and he copes with what he did to his father by trying to convince himself it was the right thing to do. In spite of the fact that he'd been a terrified child, he considers it his fault, but he'd used his power to rid the world of a villain, hadn't he? That's what he wants to believe. Beneath his calm surface is a man who suffers from severe depression and delusional thinking, though he struggles to control himself and maintain his external composure as well as he can. Yuri's love of justice and his distorted way of thinking have combined to inspire in him the desire to wipe out crime as Lunatic. He wants to bring peace to the world by eliminating all criminals, killing them as he killed his father, so they can never harm people again. His ultimate goal is the protection of the weak and defenseless. He doesn't kill because he enjoys it.

Without his memories, Yuri would have none of that obsession with punishment. He would genuinely be that calm, serious, yet amenable person he appears to be, the person that the sensitive, introverted boy he once was would have grown into if not for the trauma he experienced. He would be gentler and less relentless. Yet when his memories begin to return, so too would that inner turmoil--as well as Lunatic. That is not to say that Yuri, even with his memories, is not capable of change and growth. He has become particularly interested in the hero Wild Tiger, whose different view of justice intrigues him. The end of season one shows that his view of the Heroes and Tiger in particular has softened somewhat, though he still views himself as their adversary.

Sample Entry:

[His memories may be gone, but not all of his past has been taken away. Some of it remains in the scar on his face. Such a large, odd, localized scar, unmistakably shaped like a handprint. It makes him uneasy, not because of any residual memory, but because logic tells him such a scar is unlikely to have a pleasant story behind it. He studies it in the mirror sometimes--never for long, but he can never resist looking again later.

Today, he believes he may have come closer to learning something about it. Again, not because of a memory, but the past is not all contained within memories. There are clues to it elsewhere. He'd been feeling upset, agitated, frustrated by the absences within his mind, at the whole absurd situation--when suddenly, his vision had filled with flames.

Blue flames that he'd created.

Could the flames have something to do with the scar? It resembles a burn scar, though he would hardly have injured himself with fire--he hopes. Unnerving. Yet fascinating. He is able to make fire, although, if he could once control it, he does not remember that. After several hours' diligent practice, he is able to produce a flame above his palm at will. It is then that he turns to the network.]

Have any of you found yourselves manifesting abilities that you did not know you had, which your knowledge tells you are not ordinary among the population of the world of your origin? Is that a common occurrence here? [It seems unlikely that they are given new abilities when their memories are taken, but it's not impossible.] I wonder if it's something we might have in common. It strikes me as potentially dangerous.

There is something wrong. [These words slip out before he can stop them. An obvious statement. Is he referring to himself, or their general situation? He isn't sure, but he means more than is readily apparent.] I'm concerned for all of us here. It could be quite psychologically damaging to take away an individual's memories and then restore them piece by piece, not in their proper order.
