[APPLICATIONS - 2014-2015]

APPLICATIONS FOR THE CURRENT WEEK ARE REVIEWED FRIDAYS.

UNLESS THERE IS A DELAY... which we'll typically announce. There are no application cycles in Smash! Send in applications whenever you want.
Note: We do not review apps in chronological order, but last-minute applications submitted at the buttcrack of midnight Friday might not get reviewed until the following week, so please be patient.

If you want to make sure no one else apps the character you are thinking of, head on over to the reserves first.


Before you apply or hit "post"...

  • Read our rules. Acceptable Series, FAQ and Premise couldn't hurt either.

  • Take a look at our application guidelines! This outlines what we expect in an application, and gives some inspiration and pointers if you're having trouble!

  • Look at the taken list to make sure the character you want isn't already taken.

  • Copy and use the application form that fits your character, whether they are returning, getting an update, or are brand new.

  • Spell check, spell check, spell check.

  • You may post a link to your application or post it in comment chunks. DW has a maximum character limit of 16,000 per comment, so that's quite generous and you'll probably be able to fit your app in just one or two comments! Here is a handy character count checker to see if that's the case.

  • You may rehash old applications or samples so long as YOU are the one that wrote them. We may ask for a new, more setting-applicable sample, or if we are unclear on the character's voice/personality, however. If you plagiarize, you will be banned.

  • Pokemon are allowed only two per player, and no more than three of the same kind at the same time.

APPLICATION FORMS:



MAIN APPLICATION FORM:
This is for new characters!



CANON UPDATE FORM:
Before you fill this out, and especially if you want to do a complete Character Relationship reboot, remember to talk with your canonmates! Fill this as soon as you can so we know everyone's canon standings, and any extra information that might be needed.

As always, everything will be taken on a case-to-case basis!


RETURNING CHARACTER FORM:
This is if you want to reapp a character you formerly played in Smash (and they currently aren't being played by anyone else)!

Cheers! As you probably figured, this is my character journal (but no icon mule journals).

Additional history:

When Zero fell from the remnants of Ragnarok down onto Final Destination City, Dr. Eggman had the city under martial law. Separated from his Cyber-elf Croire and weakened from plummeting through Earth's atmosphere, the legendary reploid was immediately discovered by patrolling Badniks, who swarmed and captured him. Seeing the potential in his combat capabilities, Eggman opted to reprogram Zero for his own purposes - and though his methods were crude, it was effective.

Thankfully, he wasn't under the doctor's control for long. Zero intercepted Knuckles as he was on patrol, and since neither one of them was willing to walk away, a battle ensued that only ended when the reploid was caught off guard by the echidna questioning his true self, and caught a Deep Impact explosion point blank to the chest. Once the attack knocked him offline, Knuckles took Zero with him to see if he could get the reploid fixed - body and mind.

After a shaky diagnostics from IT, Zero spent a good long while on Knuckles' couch with the gaping hole in his torso covered in duct tape.

A long... while...

In the meantime, his wandering Cyber-elf had been trying to find him. Instead of Zero, however, she found Copy X instead, not knowing who he truly was. After a great deal of confliction regarding his old enemy, Copy X volunteered to help Knuckles fix Zero using Croire's power. With her crazy miracle robot magic, he was immediately patched up good as new - but knowing that it was Copy X (posing as the real X, no less) that he had to thank left Zero distinctly uncomfortable and mistrustful. Still, with nowhere else to go, Zero hung around the city on his own for some time, destroying any Badniks he could while trying to figure out what he wanted to do with this newfound life of his. After the huge battle between Seth's shadowbugs and Eggman's army (during which he found himself mostly babysitting a pair of whiny Pokemon trainers), Knuckles suggested Smash Academy as a possible home for Zero.

He mulled on his options. First thing first, however, he wanted to make sure that the humans and reploids of Area 0 had pulled through the crisis. So he left the city and headed for home... only to find he had no idea how to get there. He didn't even have the first clue to start looking.

A lot of aimless wandering happened, but eventually he found himself back in FDC once more. Well... despite the disappointment, there was nothing to be done about it. Might as well see if Knuckles' offer was still good.

Personality Changes:

Not really. His opinion of Copy X has become a lot more conflicted, but other than that, he's still the same stoic robot.

In-Character 1st person sample:

[The video feed turns on. A somewhat familiar face came onscreen, though most would only recognize him as 'that broken robot that Knuckles was keeping on his couch.' Looks like he's fully functional again.]

I'm Zero. Starting now, I'll be on security detail.

[There was a pause. It seemed like he was more or less done with introductions, but something else on his mind kept him from turning off the camera. After a beat, he continued.]

The database tells me that Knuckles is no longer here.

...

There's someone else... There was a blue reploid that called himself X. I need to know what happened to him.

...Thanks. [End transmission.]

In-Character 3rd person sample:

It had been a frustrating few months. One would imagine that finding Neo Arcadia - or at least what remained of it - would've at least been feasible, considering it was the last human stronghold after the Elf Wars. If he at least had a grasp on its general location then it wouldn't be too difficult to trace Area 0 from there. But ever since he headed out on his own, all he got were shrugs and blank stares wherever he went. In the end, Zero simply found himself in Final Destination City again. It was like every road he took eventually led him back to the place. Maybe it was just fate - but he'd never put too much stock into the idea.

Still, it wasn't all bad. There were things he still needed to check up on. First on the list was Knuckles; it'd been a while since he'd seen the echidna last, and the reploid wanted to see how he was doing. To see a friendly face before he headed for a decidedly less friendly confrontation.

Very quickly, however, Zero encountered another obstacle: he didn't actually know which apartment number Knuckles lived in. The building was one he was familiar enough with, he'd taken care to watch over it during Eggman's reign on the city, but hideously ancient security system wasn't cooperating. Not even Croire could give him an answer when she entered its directory to probe for information.

Well, Zero respected Knuckles too much to try breaking and entering the building he lived in - that would've ended in nothing but trouble for him. But maybe he wouldn't mind if the reploid took an alternate way in. Zero already knew which storey he was on, and which side of the city he faced. All he had to do was to make it onto the balcony.

Obviously, even a machine as advanced as him couldn't make it up there in a single bound. Instead, he dash jumped as high as he could parallel to the building, and as he met the wall, he dug his fingers into the stucco and kicked off to scale higher and higher. It didn't take long for him to wall jump up to the apartment and land expertly on the balcony floor. Feeling his mission nearing completion, Zero peered through the sliding glass door--

...Hm. That wasn't Knuckles.

To the audience of startled faces who had clearly moved into the flat during his time away, the reploid stared blankly back.

"...Excuse me."

To the sound of horrified gasps, he jumped right back off the balcony. Well, that had been fruitless. Maybe the school would have more data on Knuckles's whereabouts.

CANON UPDATE

[personal profile] mohawk_tomahawk 2014-06-18 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Liz
Character's Name: Connor
Character username: [personal profile] mohawk_tomahawk
Game Series: Assassin's Creed
Canon point: Post-Tyranny of King Washington DLC
CR Reboot (Yes or No): Nope!

Age (If there is a change): Nope!
Grade Level/Class Taught/Job: He's still the janitor.
Dorm or Living Arrangement: Still living with Desmond.
Personality Changes (ie, some characters grow are are different based on where they are taken from. Please list any differences there might be compared to where they were taken before): There's really no difference, the canon update is just for experience purposes. But no real change is done to Connor's character.
History Changes (If any):

Connor would awaken in his manor, with no time having being passed since he left.

Of course, it was easy to adapt to life again, despite Connor feeling that leaving was premature. Incredibly. Putting it lightly.

Basically for Connor, a few months would have passed when he was only gone in Smash time for about three weeks. Business was usual. Connor spoke with Washington one night and after an awkward talks about dreams, Connor was transported into an alternate universe. Connor was never an Assassin in this universe, and his mother never died. But Washington became a tyrannical king who took the Apple for himself and became corrupt, burning down his village and killing his mom (yes, he did see him mom die twice by this point). His people drank drugged Red Willow Tea to make them fight stronger by having them be one with the "animal spirits".

His mother told him "no", but a confused Connor wanted to make sense of this world and had to stop Washington, so he drank the tea.

Three times, he felt the power of the wolf, eagle, and the bear. He was stronger, and he...enjoyed it.

He would have seen others under control of Washington and the Apple, and even reunited with his friend (who was also dead) after getting captured by one of Washington's men (Putnam). But he soon died as well.

After a long fight on ships, through Boston and New York, working with the rebels against Washington led by Thomas Jefferson, and storming Washington's fortress (which was basically a giant pyramid), Connor finally would have slain Washington using his Willow Tea powers.

He went to grab the Apple, and the power...did tempt him at some points, and it tried to then. But he rejected it completely, keeping true to himself, returning to the real world after touching it. Washington rejected it as well, ordering Connor to sink it to the bottom of the sea.

Connor did that gladly, feeling contempt for the Apple, as no one should be able to wield such poisonous power.

He would have returned home, slept, and awaken back at the academy again. Now with a story to tell, as if the place let him experience this just to be able to share it.

DUR REAPP

[personal profile] roses_are_blue 2014-06-19 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Liz
Character's Name: Garry
Character's username [personal profile] roses_are_blue/[personal profile] the_blue_rose
Game Series: Ib
Link to previous app: grose
Age (If there is a change): 22
Dorm or Living Arrangement: Teacher's Dorm!

Canon point changes (If any): Nah, he's just a year old and lamer.
Additional history that happened since the last application (their history at the school before they left, what happened and caused them to return): After the Eggman and Seth war, Garry felt out of touch with himself and what he was supposed to do on the academy's front. He felt like he let a lot of people down and that included Mary and Ib, whom he wasn't sure where he relationships with them stood.

Garry decided that he needed to evaluate himself to what he needed to do, so he left a note to all of his friends before he left. He needed to clear his head.

For a few days, Garry felt out of place when he got to his old apartment. His painting resumed and life was back on track, sort of, a little after. Ib was at school, and couldn't see her for a few days more. Not until the weekend, at any rate. Ib was there, they were still friends, everything just felt as close to normal as it possibly could be. He missed a lot of the people at the school, but where did he fit in there? Was he meant to be there at all?

Feelings arose again.

The weekend came, Garry's work had suffered tremendously. Then Ib paid him a visit and they went to a cafe, their usual. They sat down with tea and the usual macaroons, Garry felt like his head would finally be cleared. Then Ib asked the question; "How was it at the school?"

Garry didn't know how to tell her, so he decided not to, instead talking to her about her school.

This continued for a few days, Garry avoiding talking about the school. Soon enough, it turned into a couple weeks.

That was when Garry started feeling horrible.

He missed teaching, he missed his students, he missed it all. He could do without the zaniness, but he...kind of grew to like the school.

That was all he needed, on their next meeting, Garry told Ib he would be returning to the school. He just took a little vacation, after all! Knowing what he needed to do, he packed up to leave.

Ib was happy for him, and Garry was happy to have a friend with a good understanding. Garry didn't even need to say anything about it, she was still happy for him.

Little did he know, the weeks turned into months in terms of academy time, oh boy.

Personality Changes (ie, some characters grow are are different based on where they are taken from. Please write down any changes in personality compared to the first app): None, still a dork.

In-Character 1st person sample:
[Suddenly, a man with a strange seaweed hair style. He looked rather upset, or did he? It was unclear. Because at some degree, Garry was happy about being back; but there was a very big confusion.]

I...I don't believe this! How could so much time have passed since I left! I was only gone for a couple weeks and now this place tells me it's been months??

That makes no sense!! I didn't want to have been gone for so long, now the school year is over!

[He took a moment to then calm himself down. Forgetting that this meant there were those who didn't know him, or hadn't seen him for a while. This made for a great impression/return to the school. Garry had to recover, quick. After all, he wanted to come back to the crazy. People he missed and the teaching he missed, let's not screw this up.]

Anyway-! I'm Garry and I'm your old, er, or new Painting teacher. Nice to meet you all, or see you again. Whichever!

In-Character 3rd person sample:

Garry was running late, very late. His large sketchbook in hand, Garry made a headway through the halls of the school, and was increasingly becoming winded. He wasn't an athlete, but he had the gumption of one. He had to get somewhere, and fast; else he would be seen as "that lazy teacher that doesn't care enough". No, he cared a lot, and he wanted to show that; he wanted to be right on time.

He was huffing loudly, almost so much so that he didn't notice the paint tubes in his sweaty hands slipping. In fact, he really didn't notice them slipping. He had all of his paints in the room, he thought he did. With the moving back in, he wanted to be prepared. Little did he realize, he forgot the acrylics. He was about to demo an acrylic paint technique before allowing the students to do sketch work in preparation for their acrylic pieces. They could practice the technique too, but they didn't need all of the possible colors. So he could handle not having all of the acrylics in his room today.

Soon enough though, a red tube of paint fell out and it was like a circus of errors. He slipped, the paint flew out of the tube, he fell to the floor, and was then covered in the paint.

Well then, now he had two options. Look like a doofus and go to class with all this paint, or change out of these clothes and be late.

Regardless, he was upset his shirt was ruined.
