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!

Personality: Cecilia is, first and foremost, proper. To a degree, of course. Being raised for 7 years as a princess before going to the Curan Abbey to learn Crest Magic helped in that, and she's always very polite. This has kind of ebbed since she's traveled with two Drifters (or Dream Chasers, if you'd prefer) who are a little more rough around the edges, so to speak.

Cecilia almost seems shy at first, though her true personality comes out much sooner than you'd expect. She's very much a happy girl, usually the one bringing a smile to the faces of her friends. She's definitely one of the really good listeners of the trio, easy to empathize with people, or even inorganic life. She has difficulty empathizing with the Metal Demons (for good reasons), though she can sort of empathize with their desire for a new home to a degree.

Cecilia has a very strong desire to be just "Cecilia the person" and not "Cecilia the princess" - she wants to be friends with everyone, not just nobility or royalty. While this happens at the Abbey, she is still muchly "Cecilia the princess" to a lesser degree, though her friends hardly use it against her. Cecilia is not in the habit of using her royalty to get what she wants, and is quite the opposite: she wants to work for what she wants, not just have it handed to her, which is why she undertook the job to save Filgaia. She knows quite well that it's hard work that pays off, and work hard is what she does.

Her determination is what fuels her; not only to be someone different than her title suggests, but to save the world she loves so much. Her connection to the Guardians and her ability to hear their voice through her Teardrop makes this determination stronger, especially at their pleading that she stop the Metal Demons and Mother through her actions.

One of Cecilia's best abilities, however, is her ability to see the good in people. When Rudy shoots off his arm and she finds that he's made of the same material as the demons, it's Jack who shakes her out of disbelief - just because he may be of the same make as one, he is by no means a demon. She steels her resolve and tells him that she'll stand by him, knowing full well that he is by no means a terrible person. Also, despite Jane being something of a rival, she does like her as a friend, seeing her brash attitude and stronge facade as something to keep her going. She probably admires that about Jane, and in turn accepts her as a friend.

All in all, Cecilia is a girl who is quick to smile and has a want to help others. She's one who, while seeing faults, wants to see past them and find out why people act as they do. She'll try to befriend people, and help them out, make them smile.

She's something of a bookworm as well. During the opening she's seen reading in a library; she gains knowledge through her books, and probably uses them to take her to fantastic places that Filgaia cannot.

Oh. And she likes food. All of it. She will out-eat anyone in Luceti. She will win people bets. Chow mein is her absolute favourite food ever.

Strengths: While Cecilia is definitely the squishy mage of the group, she's definitely strong in magic. Emotionally, she can steel herself against a lot of emotions, but it does wear on her after a while. While she didn't show a lot of outward emotion during her father's funeral, it was more of an internal emotional outbreak. She had a face to keep in the presence of the Adlehyde residents.

Mentally, she's strong. It's hard to break her with mental mind games, though fully possible. She has an easy time communing with spirits (or in her case, Guardians) through the use of her Teardrop. She's good at thinking things through, and is very level headed. Even when the party is in panic mode, it's generally Cecilia who keeps a cool head on her shoulders and makes rational decisions. A great mental strength for her is the ability to call out to the Guardians for their assistance: it's Cecilia and her plea to them that brings them out of the black hole the Gate Generator sucks them into.

Her mental/emotional strength also keeps her determination to save what she holds dear going, even if it might take a toll on her. She knows what is right for the world, and even if it's a cursed land, so to speak, it's worth fighting for: it's her home.

Weaknesses: Again: squishy mage means she doesn't take physical hits very well. While it doesn't mean she'll lay down and take the hits and she will fight back, it won't be physical.

Mentally and emotionally, if her emotions cloud her judgement, she loses her cool. Case in point is when Rudy harms himself in the Gate Generator to save the group. Cecilia loses the rational thinking mind she normally has and worries about Rudy, asking why he would even do that. While a logical answer would say "to save everyone," that isn't what Cecilia is seeing. It's one of the few times we can actually see Cecilia's emotions spill out. Her emotions clouding her judgement would most likely cause an emotional outburst, though they wouldn't be violent in any way.

Losing her friends, or the Guardians, or even Asgard would be a severe blow on her ego in a sense, relating back to her emotional/mental state of mind: she tells Asgard that she "...wasn't really needed or loved... Everyone just sees me as 'Princess of Adlehyde'.", showing that if she lost her friends, those who made her just Cecilia who they knew and loved, it would hurt her immensely.
