luceti | 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.

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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Strengths:
PHYSICAL: Canti is strong and tough. He's made of metal, so he is naturally hard to destroy. He's good at baseball (episode 4), and can fly, which he does in both blue and red mode. He has incredible strength, especially in red mode, where he can destroy robots much larger than himself.

EMOTIONAL: Canti is calm and easygoing. He doesn't get angry if you shout at him or hit him. He likes to please others, and is very friendly and helpful towards everyone. He tries to satisfy others as much as he can.

INTELLECTUAL: Though this is not explored as much in the anime, Canti appears pretty intelligent. He knows a lot about a lot of things, and can do a variety of tasks, from vacuuming to working as a crossing guard. He is adaptive and can deal with any situation, up to being mistaken for a god.

Weaknesses:
PHYSICAL: Canti spends most of his time in blue mode, and is incapable of combat in this form, despite his strength. He can be clumsy, and he is very tall, so it can be hard for him to fit in places, though he does fine in a normal home. His broken head embarasses him. He can't talk at all.

EMOTIONAL: Canti is easily embarassed and somewhat shy. He can get confused or misled, and is easily manipulated because he likes helping others too much.

INTELLECTUAL: He's no whiz; Canti's head is broken, and he thinks he can fix it with glue! He makes bad judgment calls, and does some things incredibly foolishly. He can have memory issues(like forgetting what volume of a "perverted magazine" to bring home), though this is more absent-mindedness than amnesia. He's easily distracted, and will stop whatever he's doing to help others.
(For the strengths and weaknesses section, feel free to include powers or special abilities if they apply.)

Samples (ALL samples must be set in Luceti-verse.)

First Person: Q&A, please?

Third Person: Luceti is a strange place. Not necessarily a bad one, but most definitely strange. Canti had been here a while, and no one had stared or asked questions since he arrived. It was almost disconcerting.

Picking up a basket of clean but wet laundry, Canti stepped outside, ducking his head under the door. He didn't wear clothes, of course, except for his jacket, but his housemates did, and he was sure they would appreciate his hanging them up to dry. The weather was cool, but the wind was brisk, even though dawn was hours away. Though the clothes wouldn't dry without the sun, doing this chore now would give him some free time before the others woke up. As he pinned a shirt on the eye level lines, the wind stirred his feathers.

Ah yes, his wings. Admittedly, that had been more shocking then waking up in a new place(at least he didn't come through someone's forehead this time... that he knew of). At first, he thought they were the ones Haruko had insisted he wear back home, but no, these were real. And sensitive-- he was still getting used to them, and had bumped them once or twice. They hurt more than the back of his head. Speaking of which... After all the clothes were hung on the line and flapping in the spring breeze, Canti reentered the house. His housemates were still asleep as he stepped up the stairs, surprisingly quiet despite his weight. He slipped into his room, latching the door behind him before checking his kit. He was grateful the malnosso had brought the pieces he had already gathered with him to Luceti, otherwise he could never have made progress on his repairs. Fishing out the box he kept the parts in and the superglue, he sat down to work.

((All the answers will be displayed on the facial screen.))

1. Do you have any hobbies? Explain them.
I enjoy doing errands and repairing things. I work for Haruko and Naota's family, and I do odd jobs around the house. Haruko always has something for me to do. She taught me how to play baseball, which is quite enjoyable. I also like to spend some time every day in the adult section of 7-11. The pictures there are very interesting.

2. What do you like most about yourself?
My strength. I can be very useful with it. People seem to appreciate the things I can do, and that means I'm doing a good job, which is satisfying. It's good to help others.

3. What is your greatest ambition?
I don't really have one. Usually, I just do what others need done. I might be forgetting something; I will try to remember.

404 Error: Ambition not found.
Details: Data has been corrupted by hardware malfunction. Please contact your service provider or sysadmin for more information.

4. What is more important: friendship or power?
Friendship is more important, but it is also important to have the power you need to help and support your friends. So both are important.

5. Do you have a dream, or something you want to accomplish? What is it?
Get my head finished. Something has been missing since it broke. I want to be fully functional. Also, help Naota stop the other robots. I know that's important, and he is the only one I've met who can help me do this.

6. So... did you remember to record the big game? I mean, I was really trusting you there for that one.
??? ... !!! [Hangs head in shame.]
