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.

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

1. Do you have any regrets? If so, what are they?
Doesn’t everyone? ( there is a bit of a bitter tone to her voice, but it doesn’t last long. )

I mean, everyone has regrets and I can’t really think of anyone that doesn’t. If there is someone out there like that then they’re lucky, but they might not really be living. Making mistakes or doing the wrong thing always leaves regrets; even doing the right thing can make a person feel terrible about it later on... ( she trails off a bit as she tries to recall some of the things that she’s done and regretted. there are a lot of them, some coming to the surface faster than others. )

There was this girl back in my village named Yakumo. She wanted nothing more than to become a shinobi, but she was physically weak, unable to do anything strenuous, but she was brilliant at genjutsu. So, being talented in the art as well I was assigned to be her tutor... Things didn’t go the way she wanted them go and I was forced to seal away her powers by order of the Hokage and I trampled all over her dreams of becoming a shinobi. I know it was the right thing to do; both for her and the village, but I still hate that I had to crush her dreams because of it.

2. What goals do you want to accomplish in your life?
Getting back into the swing of having a team to train and look out for is one of those goals. Being out on leave due to being pregnant has made things a bit interesting with Kakashi watching over Hinata, Kiba, and Shino, but I couldn’t think of anyone else to take care of them. A lot has happened since I became pregnant; like losing Asuma and what happened with the village, so it will be interesting finding the desire to go out there and train. It’ll come back, but I can’t help but thinking about how distracted I’ll be thinking about the baby.

( she laughs softly. ) Never thought I’d be that person, but having a little one tends to change how you view the world.

Without Asuma around I know I won’t be alone in raising this child, but I can’t help but worry about what kind of parent I’ll be. I want to be the best mother I can, but things could get in the way. There are so any orphaned children in the village due to their parents giving their lives while on duty, and I don’t want to leave my child like that... Fate isn’t something I can control and I can’t see myself not being a shinobi... So, I have to deal with these conflicting emotions and just to the best I can with all the help I’ve got.

3. Name the most important emotion, in your opinion, and explain why you made your choice.
Love would be the most important emotion. I’ve witnessed firsthand what a life without love can be like; it can make a person strive for attention, becoming reckless, and in the end it leaves that person hollow and unwilling to love others in return. Just the thought of a life without love doesn’t settle well with me. I hate to think of someone I care about having go to through life without that; I’ve had many great loves in my life, my family, Asuma, my team, friends, and now my child. I can’t think of being without them.

It helps that there isn’t one layer to love; there are many of them. One layer can be a friendly sort of love. Where you care about those you are close with. Then there are the kinds of love that you reserve for your family. And every once in a while you come across that great love that changes your whole world; you want to do everything differently and even change the world for them. I’ve been lucky enough to have two people in my life that give me that kind of love. Lost one of them, but he was able to leave me something behind to remember him by and to continue giving me that love that no one else can replace.

4. If you could change anything about the world, what would it be and why?
If it was up to me, I’d change a lot of things, but the one thing that stands out the most is all the fighting. I know this is how we make our money as a village, but all of this fighting and going to war isn’t worth it in the end. Too many lives are lost, families are destroyed, and it only makes more hate.

I’m a bit of a contradiction to this because I’ll keep fighting as long as there is someone willing to destroy everything that I hold dear, but I can’t sit around waiting for things to get better. But, this just adds to the never ending cycle of fighting and I just hope that one day it will end; I might not be able to witness it, but for all the generations to come, they deserve to have a life and a world where they don’t have to fight.

5. Describe your most beloved memory.
( a warm smile spreads across her face as she shakes her head. her thumb brushes over the ring that’s on her left ring finger. ) Asuma and I were children back then, maybe we were still in the Academy – I can’t remember when it was exactly, but it was either right before we graduated or just after... It was a spring day and for some reason we didn’t have training to school that day, we decided to ditch Kakashi and Gai to go off on our own.

We knew better than to go wandering off like we did, but it was an adventure and we couldn’t wait to start going off on missions. But, in our wandering we got lost in the forest. Our skills were mediocre and we knew that with some trial and error we would be able to find our way back home. It was a bonding experience that I’d never forget. We were both lost and too proud to admit that we were scared, but we had each other for strength; we wanted to be that pillar the other needed.

Of course I was the first to cave and started crying hysterically out of nowhere. I was afraid of what my father would do once we got home and Asuma said that he’d take the blame. I didn’t want him to get in trouble because this was a mutual idea, but he said that he’d always be there for me. He had this – ( laughs as the memories start coming back) determined look on his face that made all these terrible things that I was feeling go away. Asuma stepped up and took my hands demanding that I look up at him. He said that he’d do anything in his power to make sure I never cried again.

Believe it or not, I only cried a few times after that... Even then he was there to give me a shoulder or a hug when I needed it. It was only fitting that I would crumble again when I didn’t have that pillar to help support me, but I’ve learned to keep going without that support because I have too many people looking up to me to give up.
