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!

Strengths:

Physical: Although Arthur lacks any supernatural powers, he is an accomplished knight and shown himself to be among the finest warriors in the Five Kingdoms. He trains rigorously and daily among his knights and with Merlin, pushing himself as hard as he can to be the best and prove himself worthy to his people. As a result, he is skilled in all manner of weaponry available to him in Camelot. Few swordsman have ever been able to beat him, with only Lancelot and Morgause ever defeating him (the first only through trickery). He has shown himself to be able to take on multiple enemies at once, as well as many magical beasts that have attacked Camelot. He is just as adept with other weapons, showing incredible accuracy with the crossbow, spear throwing, or even throwing his own sword. He's a clever fighter and quick moving, in spite of the heavy chainmail and armor he wears. It's a testament to his strength that he wears his armor anytime he leaves the castle, going so far as to scale cliffs even while wearing it, or even sleeping in it. To his credit, he never seems to suffer for wearing it and is a quick moving fighter.

Beyond that, he is also now in possession of Excalibur. The properties of the sword are not fully understood yet, but it was forged in the fires of the Great Dragon and has many magical properties. Known among them is its ability to destroy the undead, immediately breaking whatever magic that keeps them alive in the world of the living. It is unknown what other powers it possesses, but the dragon warns Merlin that the sword must not be used by any other than Arthur, as it has the potential to do great evil. Beyond that, real world legends and myths of Excalibur credited the blade as being able to cut through anything and being unbreakable.

Mental: For his era, Arthur is actually very well read and educated, as befitting a person of nobility, especially in a world wrought with illiteracy. Although he is not particularly academically inclined, he is fairly intelligent and cunning, especially when it really counts, such as military strategy or getting on with his allies or enemies. He has a very strong sense of what is right and wrong that he holds to, as well as his own sense of honor.

Emotional: Arthur is usually a calm person and tries to present himself as being as stoic as he can. He listens to the advice people have to give and will usually consider it, even if he doesn't like what he's hearing and initially dismisses the person's concerns. His courage and dedication inspires loyalty and friendship. He does his best to cheer up others when they are down and can be gentle and reassuring when trying to get information from others.

Weaknesses:

Physical: For all his accomplishments as a warrior, Arthur is not a perfect fighter. Many of his foes would have killed him were it not for Merlin's secret magical assistance. He is only mortal and subject to all the same perils and weaknesses as any other human. Indeed he has been cut, stabbed, and hit by arrows more than once and a sufficient wound can immobilize him. Even his own armor won't protect from everything, even from other normal fighters, much less those with special powers.

Mental: Though he may be more educated that 90% of the people of Camelot, that's not saying that much, especially by modern standards. Arthur has little interest in the sciences or history and has admitted to neither of them being his strong points. In fact, Merlin was even able to trick Arthur into believing Excalibur was centuries old by taking advantage of Arthur's lack of interest or knowledge of ancient times.

Emotional: As royalty, Arthur does not allow most of his emotions to show. He is not always as confident as he presents himself, especially after after losing Camelot. He carries a lot of regrets for the past and they sometimes will gnaw at him. He can also be too trusting, especially to those who he has known a long time and can react angrily to those who question their loyalty. In fact, there are certain things that can really set Arthur off and cause his hot temper to flare up. One such incident made him angry enough that the only way to stop him from killing Uther was for Merlin to lie to him about his mother's death. He also takes insults to his pride and honor seriously and once nearly doomed Camelot because he would not ignore the heckles of a man who had taken advantage of his charity.

Samples

First Person: I don't know how anyone is supposed to be able to use these clothes cleaning contraptions. It's bad enough I had to toss them all in there myself, but now all my white shirts are pink. What bloody good is that going to do me, running around in pink? And it's no use lecturing the damn thing. At least when it was Merlin, he would get marginally better at his job. Admittedly, I might be giving him just a little too much credit there. But really, these machines are absolutely and completely useless.

Forget it. I'll just go find some new clothes. There's a never ending supply of them, after all. I might as well just get a new pair every day, if this sort of thing is what I can expect.

Third Person:

Arthur had been living in this strange village for a week now and he still could not get over how strange it all was. He had arrived here alone, without so much as his own clothes on his back. At first he counted himself fortunate to find his armor and the sword of Camelot's first king, but his attempts to escape had proved useless. He remained still trapped, with no way to return to Camelot or send a message. He had been assured that time would not move and that he would return, someday, in time to save his kingdom. But it did little to reassure him. It was hard not to imagine that Merlin, Guinevere, and the others dying at Morgana's hands. It drove him crazy just to think about it.

At the very least, he had his training still. Though he lacked Merlin or his knights to assist him in that training, he still had a sword and could at least keep his sword arm strong for when it was needed. Even though the chainmail was a painful strain on his new wings, he considered it best to ignore it and keep the blows coming. When it came to the point where it would really matter, he couldn't afford the luxury of providing those annoying wings the comfort they seemed so intent on having. They were yet another evil enchantment about this place that he despised.

In fact, this whole village was full of sorcerers and people with strange, inhuman powers. It was more than unsettling. For as much as they claimed that they used their abilities for good, he knew full well that even their good intentions would likely lead them to being corrupted and evil. After all, their own captors frequently used enchantments called 'Shifts' to curse the people of this village. It left him to wonder how long it would take his fellow villagers to become just as corrupt. And it made him wonder if he would be able to deal with them when that time came.
