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!

First Person: Q&A, please!
Third Person: Waking up was very, very normal. Dawn did it every day. Waking up in a forest that definitely not where she had gone to sleep? Was not normal, and so Dawn had nearly panicked upon waking because these were not her clothes, and where were her Pokemon, and what was going on--
It took ten minutes to calm down enough to start searching for her clothes and Pokeballs through the bushes. It was only after the frenzied search that she calmed down fully, sitting down right where she had woken up to try and make sense of what was going on. Camping out in Eterna forest to get some rest was still the last thing she remembered, and this? Was definitely not Eterna Forest. Still, Eterna or not, there was still the possibility of being ambushed by whatever lived here (she could only hope they could be outrun if she had to), and she had no Pokemon, no Repels, and no way of getting help.
She could work with that. Dawn ventured forth into the wilderness, using the tried and true method of heading the way that looked the most run down, either avoiding or miraculously missing any encounters with local creatures she was sure had to be around. This wasn't Team Galactic's doing. The remnants that had followed Charon had more or less wandered off to do something else, and she liked to think Saturn wouldn't try something like this (both because he seemed to have learned his lesson and because she would soundly thrash the lot of them if they went back to their old ways). So then, who would have the motive for something like this, and would be able to actually pull it off? The answer she had come up with had been completely wrong, of course, but had made perfect sense at the time.
Barry. This kind of stunt was right up his alley, and Dawn wouldn't put it past him to act on his crazy ideas for one second. And so she had made her way through the forest with renewed energy, reaching the village after a walk that seemed almost too short, and was bluntly informed that this was not Sinnoh and Barry was not responsible for this what-so-ever. Well, she told herself, it could be a lot worse. Somehow.
Request and Q&A!
no subject
Strengths:
+ She's a fairly capable strategist. You can't plow through all eight Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, Team Galactic, legendary Pokemon, your Rival and the Champion without being able to plan and figure out the winning moves, man. Fighting the wide variety of opponents she's faced has exposed her to a variety of styles and helped her learn ways to counter them. Dawn also has a good knowledge of her Pokemon's specialties and won't hesitate to put them to work.
+ Plenty of endurance. Throughout the game, she runs and bikes all over Sinnoh, which gradually increased her stamina. Related to this, she can withstand cold temperatures fairly easily, as shown when she makes her way through the snowstorm near Snowpoint City.
+ Very self-sufficient. While she was very very lost in terms of taking care of herself at first, necessity, along with trial and error, lead to her learning the basics of survival in the wilderness. By now she has them down pat for the most part (she still slips up at times, but she won't like admitting that).
+ Has a good heart. When the Lake Trio are imprisoned by Team Galactic, Dawn charges in to rescue them simply because she can't stand the idea of them suffering, something Cyrus notes when he calls her compassion the basis of her strength. Personal gain takes a back seat to helping anyone in need, and she won't turn anyone down if they need her. Her first impulse when meeting new people is to make friends with them. It's likely for this reason that people trust her so easily with their problems.
+ Ridiculously brave and determined. Once she has her mind set on something, it's virtually impossible to stop her, be it conquering the Pokemon League or foiling Team Galatic's ambitions. Despite the challenges all trainers seeking to challenge the league face, she never stopped or considered the possibility it was out of her reach. The appearance of Giratina and the rift to the Distortion World wasn't enough to scare her away, and she tackled the dangers with the same relentless determination she faced her other, safer, challenges with.
Weaknesses
- Physically, she's weak. As a typical human girl, she doesn't have exceptional strength to help her if she's in a jam, and she doesn't know how to fight with her own two hands since she (like many others in the Pokemon world) relies on her Pokemon to handle battling. Stick her in a physical confrontation without her Pokemon and she won't have much of a chance.
- Doesn't know when to ask for help. Since she's used to being the helper, the one other people rely on for aid, she believes she should be able to handle her problems on her own and not need to ask for assistance. If asked if she needs any help she'll usually decline and only accept if it's insisted on. Tying into this, she dislikes feeling like a burden, whether she is one or not. If she can't contribute somehow to whatever situation she's in, it makes her uncomfortable.
- She always gives people the benefit of the doubt. While this can be a good thing, it can also lead to her not recognizing a danger or threat right away. Questionable statements can be chalked up to eccentricity, right up until it becomes obvious something is wrong. (This doesn't apply to people she witnesses doing Bad Things since their intentions are made clear, though she will give those people chances to redeem themselves which could be risky as well.)
- Doesn't always consider the consequences of her actions, as she's impulsive and thinks with her heart. Often, when she wants to do something or she's asked to help someone, she doesn't think in the long term and only considers what's happening at that moment. When rescuing Rad Rickshaw's Pokemon from Team Galactic, all she thinks about is reuniting the Clefairy with its trainer and not what she'll have to do to make that happen. She ends up walking into the Galactic Building in Eterna and battling through four floors of enemies, including Commander Jupiter, all unexpected because she simply didn't think ahead to the resistance they would put up.

( C ) Q&A ANSWERS
1. What is your greatest ambition?
It used to be becoming the Champion, but I've done that already so now it's to explore all the other regions and battle trainers there for as long as I can!
2. Name three of your most favorite memories.
Meeting Professor Rowan, getting my first Pokemon and battling Barry for the first time, for one! Another one is when Esen hatched from her egg, I'll never forget how happy I was to meet her for the first time. Helping Eldritch and his family is definitely one of my favorite memories too, and winning my first badge from Roark, and-- Oh right, you only wanted three. Oops.
3. What's your opinion on species unlike your own? Do you treat them the same, or differently? Are they less important than your own kind or on equal standing?
Of course they're equal to humans, why wouldn't they be? Being different from me doesn't mean they can't think and feel like I can; I know my Pokemon can and do.
I think we could learn a lot from other species if we paid attention, and be really good friends too!
As far as treating them, I try and treat them the same as I would any human. Sometimes that doesn't work because they have different needs and priorities, but having the same starting point for everyone is the best choice to me.
4. Name the most important emotion, in your opinion, and explain why you made your choice.
All of them are equally important! I can't pick just one and say it's the most important out of all of them, it would be like trying to pick the most important person in the world!
5. Describe something you like to do for fun.
Going to the television station in Jubilife and dressing my Pokemon up! It's really fun, and always take my mind off anything I was worried about before! My Pokemon usually have fun dressing up too, so it's win-win for everyone!
6. What do you think creates a guy like Cyrus, to be so deluded and twisted as to go to those lengths?
Loneliness, bitterness and anger. I think people like him didn't have very happy lives for a very long time, and all their anger builds up until they can't live with things the way they are anymore. Then they do what they think they have to in order to change things, and don't see how what they're doing isn't the right way to make a change happen.
ACCEPTED.
