PLEASE USE THE NEW APPLICATION POST!

Please be aware that apps are only open from the 1st (12:00 AM Eastern Standard Time) to the 7th (11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time) of any given month. This means that as of 12:01 AM, the 1st, apps are open and that as of 11:59 PM the 7th, they are closed. If you post an application after that time, it will be deleted and ignored. Please pay attention to the application times and the status at the top of this page!

PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE APPLYING! Especially the last few, as they establish what characters can or cannot be accepted.

If you want to canon-update your character, you must re-apply for said character with the relevant changes (history, personality, strengths and weaknesses, etc). For re-apps and canon updates, samples must be rewritten; we do not accept recycled samples.

The old application posts can be found on Livejournal, using the Applications tag.

Here's the application. Copy and paste the text box info into a comment and fill it out. You must apply with the following format, otherwise your application will not be accepted.

Confused? HERE is a quick explanation of how to fill out our OC applications.

You may link to threads on the

trainingwings community for your first person samples, as long as the thread in question is no older than three months. The thread or post must still have at least ten lines of dialog from your character to be considered.

HERE is a word-counting tool to check your 3rd person samples.

If a mod does not accept your app right away, please be patient. We all have our own personal and busy lives to attend to, and there might be a period of time when it might take us days to get to the applications. There is also the possibility that we do not know the canon you are applying for, and we need time to study it. So please be patient and we will work as fast as we can to get you an answer. If it has been a week with no word, please feel free to message Akai (guynophobic), Masamune (masamune3x), or Emily (spark memories) on AIM, or email them at their respective email addresses found in the

luceti profile page.

Note: Applications are not always processed in the order they are received, due to the way they are divvied up between the moderators. If your application has been skipped, do not fret. Another mod will be getting to it soon enough. Additionally, you now have ONE WEEK to complete revision requests and Q&A's. You will be reminded of this deadline three days before it's up. After that week has passed, your application will no longer be considered for the current round. We apologize, but please be patient with us!

A note for applying here on Dreamwidth: Due to the character count limit being higher on DW, it might be tempting to toss the whole thing in one comment and leave it. However, we ask that you split the application up into at least two comments- the first containing your player information and (if you want) basic character info, the rest in another comment (or more, if you wish). This is to avoid having entire applications spanning the page and making it huge.

Splitting them up will make it easier for mods to process the applications. Thank you!

Strengths:

Physical: As both a witch and a mutant, as well as the son of the Scarlet Witch, Wiccan has some pretty formidable (and kind of meta) powers in his arsenal. He describes them as "magic powers [that] essentially come from wishing on stuff really hard", but it's technically a derivative of Wanda's reality-bending ability. Most of his more powerful spells (and sometimes the easy ones, if he's not thinking clearly or if there's no sense of urgency) require him to chant his wishes aloud, and the length of time or amount of chanting varies from spell to spell. Almost all of his magic takes the form of a blue energy, forming from his hands and spreading to wherever he wants it to go. His abilities are outlined in detail on his Wikia, but I'll summarize:

Reality-altering = he can change appearance - either his own, or his clothes, or the clothes of the people around him - and can often make things happen simply by chanting his wish for it to occur. Only the strong spells require chanting.

Teleporting = "IwanttogotoNewYork" and suddenly he's in New York. He can teleport other people at the same time as well, though there is a limit on the number of people he can move from place to place. This ability requires chanting.

Generation of the elements = he prefers lighting as a method of attack, but has been shown to use fire, heat, and light too.

Flight = he can fly himself around willy-nilly, as well as grant flight abilities temporarily to others.

Miscellaneous = force fields, binding spells, location spells, changing a person's size, healing. Whether or not this requires chanting is hit-and-miss.

...So basically he's pretty hax, power-wise. It's kind of unfair that he can basically make up his powers as he goes, but Luceti's limitations should help to keep it from being too god-modey. And there's also the fact that superhero = good and therefore he's not likely to abuse said powers.

Mental: Billy's knowledge of "spell-casting" is in actuality just a collection of what he's learned by reading self-help books. Rather than genuine incantations, he simply wills himself to form the spell. As such, he's got some incredible focus when push comes to shove, generally keeping his cool in dangerous and intense situations, and he's been known to meditate when he believes that it'll make his casting more effective. He's very tenacious too- during his capture by the warden of The Cube, he chanted a constant mantra in an attempt to cast his spells even knowing that they wouldn't work, possibly for hours without stopping.

Emotional: He's very emotionally supportive and caring about the people who are important to him. He won't hesitate to be touchy-feely if he thinks that the situation allows for it, and he bonds very easily with people- case in point: when he discovered that Tommy was his twin, he warmed pretty much instantly to the idea, accepting Tommy as his brother and even loving the idea of it, while Tommy himself had his doubts and took a while to agree that it was the truth. He looks up to the older superheroes a lot and just loves having good role models so much as give him the time of day- not that he isn't afraid of challenging them, mind you...

Weaknesses:

Physical: First we'll tick off the obvious- Wiccan's reality-altering powers are only as powerful as he can tell them to be. He chants his spells like a mantra (ie. "IwanttobeinNewYorkIwanttobeinNewYork" and suddenly he's in New York) so if his sense of hearing is disabled, he can't use his abilities. It's possible that this weakness can be overcome, since at a latter canonpoint he's shown to cast major spells without a word, but at his current point it's still a noteworthy weakness. There's also the fact that since his powers come from his will to make things happen, he can't do anything he doesn't actually want to do- he'll try, but it generally doesn't work. (An example would be trying to heal someone he hates.) He's also pretty inexperienced and in serious need of actual training, so his abilities are very unrefined and experimental- often times he'll just try stuff for the first time and then be amazed after the fact that it works. Because of this he's been known to lose control if his emotions make his powers flare up. Magic aside, Billy is kind of a waif. He's short, he's skinny, and when he can't use magic he's basically useless in a fight. He's also pretty easy to take down- often times it only takes a couple of hits to knock him out, so he relies heavily on his allies to defend him when he's casting. Teddy is basically his meatshield 95% of the time.

Mental: He's really not the most levelheaded guy when it comes to emotional issues. He'll often think that his powers will solve any problem he runs into, and even if he has doubts about such things, he'll just shrug it off and do whatever hair-brained scheme is on his mind anyway. Running away from home to chase after the Scarlet Witch (when her last appearance in the world involved mass mutant genocide), entering Dr. Doom's fortress alone to find her, getting involved in a fight with four (questionably super) villains just because they're looting Asgard... yeah, he's not really big on the "let's think this through" train of thought when it comes to things that he views are important. As mentioned in the personality section, he can be a little too trusting, and that can get him into trouble if he's not careful.

Emotional: This will start to get a bit redundant but I'll start with the obvious one: Teddy. Billy will pretty much go supernova when anything happens to Teddy- at one point during the Children's Crusade he actually has a whiteout and stops a nuclear explosion because Teddy got shot. His power goes into overdrive and he loses control, and it's probably just his strong moral compass that's kept him from killing anyone thus far. I think it's fair to assume that this explosive overprotectiveness would apply to anyone he gets really close to, romantically or otherwise.

Besides Teddy, one of his biggest issues is that he's really sensitive. He cries easily, he takes things too personally (such as the Young Avengers showing concern about his excessive power in Children's Crusade- he interpreted it as a betrayal and chose to ditch them instead of hearing them out), and he can be kind of selfish. He's also been shown to fall into a deep funk of quiet brooding when something particularly upsetting happens, and it can take a lot to drag him out of it again. At the end of the day, even after all he's been through, he's still just a sixteen-year-old boy trying to be a superhero, and he's far from grown up, and whether it's teenage hormones or just his personality, he can be a real emotional rollercoaster.
