Applications
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.
FANDOM CHARACTERS
Confused? HERE is a quick explanation of how to fill out our fandom applications.
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS
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!

Weaknesses: Emotionally Presea goes from deadpan to in a horrible rage. While it takes a LOT to enrage her, once you've sparked her ire, she will single mindedly target the source with all her energy and fury. It also takes her a long time to calm down so if enraged in a fight she will lose all focus save for the target of her rage. Presea also can't attack someone who is unarmed and not posturing in a threatening way.
Samples
First Person: Please give me a Q&A. Presea is rather quiet and direct.
Third Person:
Morning, it was odd that how little changed despite being in such an odd place from home, how easy routines were to fall into. The sun hadn’t risen yet but she was headed out to the edge of the woods with axe in hand. While now the wood wasn’t for holy ceremonies and she wasn’t doing it to support her family, or to cover for her sick father, she had her own mind at least. Now she was doing it to pass the time, to get wood to make trinkets for the people here and to keep from getting overwhelmed by this place.
“Hrm, this axe still doesn’t feel right. Not for this.”
Letting out a breath she swung, the sound of metal to wood ringing through the early morning sending a flock of birds from the trees. Ignoring those there were a few more strikes before the tree fell and the small girl quickly pulled out a whittling knife and began removing the small branches from it, setting the larger ones in a pile and tossing the small branches to the side, occasionally looking up at the slowly rising sun.
“Hrm, a few of these will be good for a few brooches. It should be a good distraction for the week. I just wonder if anyone will want them.”
Sitting on the trunk and pulling out a small parcel of fruits and bread she looked up at the clouds before slicing the fruit up and putting a bit on the bread. Setting the food next to her as she took a smallish branch and began to whittle with it, occasionally taking a bite as the wood began to take on the form of an animal’s paw.
“At least paw pads are cute here too, though sometimes I get the feeling the animals avoid me. I wonder why that is. Well it’s probably best I get this back to the village.”
Finishing her lunch she wraps up her wood and begins dragging the trunk back home.
Request and Q&A!
Re: Request and Q&A!
2. How would you describe the most important person in your life? I'm not certain I could bring it down to one person. Importance requires connections and I've just started to relearn how to have those. That being said my friends are very important to me. Lloyd has a wonderful attitude and never gives up, it's something I wish I could have. Collette is a kind soul who somehow can forgive, a talent I really wish I had. Genis is incredibly kind, even if he is always nervous about something. Regal is complicated. He's my sister's killer and lover, and I know he killed her to set her free from her own exsphere curse so I'm really not certain. It's almost like he's from the world I lost and I can connect with him in ways that I thought I lost. All in all they are the reason I am a person again, and am no longer just a thing that cuts wood.
3. What is the most difficult thing you've ever done? Come to terms with being lost in time. It helped that the person responsible died on my axe but either way finding out your life has become meaningless and everything you suffered for is gone hurt. Being completely alone at the time made it worse, and I really didn't want to open up to new people because it may happen again.
4. How do you think you will benefit Luceti? From a community base I am a skilled lumberjack and craftswoman. I have a logical mind and am not prone to getting overly emotional. I've also heard that the captors like to experiment on people. That happened a lot at home. I know how to use an axe to deal with people like that.
5. Do you have any fears? What are they? Why are you scared of them? Yes. It used to be that I had no one left, that I had no place left in the world where I belonged. That everything I cared about vanished with time. To some degree I have recovered from that and found new friends. I also have a fear that I may lose myself in my exsphere again and be lost to time. Losing 16 years, one’s family and still having what caused that as part of you can do that.
6. What do you feel are the chances of you leaving Luceti once you arrive? I can’t give accurate odds without data on what leads to coming and going. I am however an experienced test subject and not positive about that aspect of my life. If there is research material on this though I can probably formulate at least rough odds.
7. I'd like to hear your deepest most inner thoughts on paw pads. They’re the cutest things, the way they squish when you poke them, or how you can stick your finger in one and wiggle it around. The costume Regal gave me, it has them too, maybe I should work some into my normal gloves, but then I may need to get some ears to go with it. It's a shame I really don't know much sewing. Paw pads were the first thing that I really got a positive emotional response out of after I was given my control metal.
Re: Request and Q&A!
Strengths:
Super strength given from her expsphere: Can lift and wield an axe that weighs at least her weight if not more in combat effectively. She was able to move a tree trunk that Lloyd and Genus couldn't even roll with no difficulty or sounds of struggling at all. Also several of her EX skills (from gems that are not going to be attached but are based off of the character's latent abilities) allow her to parry blows without taking damage, and focus her strength to hit harder. Also later on in the story she was able to struggle free of a vine that was designed to trap the whole party long enough to set her axe up and prevent a passage from sealing.
Super endurance given from her exsphere: She can drag wood that weighs more than 2 party members can even move across multiple continents such as from Ozette, through the woods, and across the bridge to the capital of Meltokio (sadly there is no distance given in units that can be given). She is the highest HP member of the party and has several EX skills (from gems that are not going to be attached, but the gems are based off of the character's latent abilities) that recover HP, quickly recover from stun and make immune to poison. She is resistant enough to poison to gather lumber in an marsh area that is considered too toxic for normal people. Also her Destruction technique attacks by breaking the earth with the ground and there is no way for her to avoid the explosion of rocky bits, yet the technique does not harm her.
Rage: Anger is really the first and strongest emotion Presea feels and if someone makes her mad enough by mentioning her sister or hurting her friends she can focus that to ignore incredibly strong magical deterrents which immobilize the party long enough to smash them and when it happened in game scare the hell out of the Desian (enemy general) who was going on about his plan to use the chosen's energy to power his mana cannon.
Combat Artes: Only will bring over the most basic ones, she'll be losing strength and since they are all built on repeated uses of basic level ones adding up to more advanced ones she will only have the most basic ones, or the building block ones.
Beast: Her trademark move which channels her battle rage into the form of a spiritual being (a bear in her case) that lashes out and strikes the target with her full fury.
Infliction: An upward vertical slash attack where the crescent moon flashes at the end of the axe swing.
Punishment: Presea takes her axe and spins around like a top, cutting at anything dumb enough to get close.
Destruction: Presea slams her axes into the ground sending up clouds of earth that damage through the force of the explosion and the rocks slamming against the body of those nearby
Devastation: After Beast Presea's favorite attack where she leaps into the air and slams her axe down on her target.
Weaknesses:
Emotional weakness: She lost connections with her emotions and while her control metal has allowed her to reclaim them slowly, she's uncomfortable with them and frequently flounders in social situations. She tends to be a wallflower at the formal party event and if put in a social situation gets very quiet and almost computer sounding as she's afraid to fail in that aspect. Presea is also distant because she is afraid to get close to people and loose them again like she lost her father and sister.
Rage: Presea can focus her rage to do positive things like overcome barriers and such, but also when she gets angry, she does not calm down until either completely exhausted, or knocked out of it by someone very VERY close to her. She was about ready to kill Regal until the spirit of her sister intervened and when the person who implanted the exsphere on her and later her sister tells her this she does not give the party a chance to discuss things, she goes right into "hit it with pointy end till it is gooey mess" mode.
Slow: Presea is kind of short, and kind of slow in moving around. Not in reflexes, just she won't be winning any races anytime soon and as such it's easy to get away from her unless she is so angry she's focusing everything on you.
Lousy chef: Most of Presea's recipes are at two stars (the minimum in the game) and are not very effective. She can find fruits and such easily, but the second she starts to cook them she can render even the most savory meats and vegetables into a bland mush that while not being toxic is in no way good.
Fear: She is terrified that she'll never regain her emotions fully. She confides in Collete several times that she is envious of her ability to get past her anger and doesn't know if she has anything else. She does regain other emotions but since anger is the most prevalent one she is afraid of her anger frequently.
