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:
+Zeff has an extremely powerful kick. He’s kicked Sanji through walls so many times, it’s hard to keep track. He eventually taught it to Sanji, though his was more powerful than Sanji’s kicks before he left the Baratie.
+He is an extremely good cook, and the proof of this is that he runs the Baratie, and made Sanji into the extraordinary cook he became. Along with this is his great respect for food and will never allow any of his crew or chefs to steal it, and kicking a crew member when they tried to.
+His restaurant is very important to him, and making it was his dream. He therefore won’t let any harm come to it, and does everything he can to protect it. To help ward off attackers, Zeff even built on an enlarged floor that can come up and be a battlefield. He was obviously smart for coming up with this idea, as his restaurant is one of former pirates. Who are naturally going to fight a lot.
+All the chefs on the Baratie greatly respect him, because of his firm hold over the restaurant and his excellent cooking skills. They’ve come to see him as a great man, not just a pirate or a cook.
+Zeff understands the pain of nearly starving to death, which is why he’s willing to feed any and all hungry people, no matter who they are. Pirates, marines, murderers, he’ll feed them all. Such as he did with Don Krieg, even though it was obvious he was going to attack the Baratie.

Weaknesses:
-He’s pretty bad at showing his true emotions. He constantly tried to get Sanji to leave the Baratie to make him leave and fulfill his dream of finding All Blue. A dream they shared. But he was rough and crude about it, making it seem like he just wanted Sanji gone because he was annoying.
-He’s missing a leg. And though his kicks are still incredibly powerful, if you take out his peg leg, you’ll manage to knock him to the ground. As did Gin when Don Krieg attacked Zeff’s restaurant. He had managed to be taken hostage because his leg was taken out.
-Zeff has a very short temper, and often shows it by means of violence. For example, the many times he beat up Sanji when they got into arguments, or Sanji did something such as injure a customer.
-The fact that he always has a serious expression really makes him feel like a guy you can’t get close to because you’re afraid he’ll bite off your head or something. The people on a ship he attacked years ago were scared of him, and not just because he was a pirate, but his expression helped to make them scared.

Samples

First Person: Tch. Oi, what kinda shitty joke is this? Someone had better tell me how the hell I can get back to my restaurant, or I’ll be pissed. And no—SHIT. Why the hell’s there so much damn snow?! Who the hell dropped me on a shitty winter island!? [More incoherent grumblings and anger go here.]

Goddammit all, does this place even have a city or town or SOMETHING!? These shitty books aren’t exactly gonna help me much! Listen up, if anyone can actually hear me on this thing. I gotta know if I'm still in East Blue, and if anyone here knows about the Baratie. It's really important that I get back there now. [His tone changed from angry to serious.] Those idiots there can get along fine without me, but that doesn't mean I wanna be away from it any longer than I have to be. I'm not supposed to be away from it at all, so someone here damn well better show me the way out of this shithole.

Third Person: As Zeff trudged through the snow, he lifted up his peg leg again to shake off excess snow that was clumping around it. He kept looking around the unfamiliar terrain, trying to find out how the hell he got there in the first place. It certainly wasn’t any island he was familiar with, and he had to pretty much assume that the Baratie wasn’t going to be anywhere near here. It was cold, he was away from his restaurant, and he was mad as hell. The person (or thing) that did this was going to have a nice introduction to his leg. Oh, they definitely weren’t going to get away with this.

“There sure as hell had better be a way for me to get off this damn island,” he grumbled to himself. And the more his leg got stuck in the snow, the more irritated he became. Zeff definitely didn't plan to stay here for long. He was more than ready to pack up and get the hell out of here. After walking around in the snow for a good hour, he was relieved to see there was a town nearby. He saw the smoke coming out above the trees, and immediately began heading in that direction. He kept grumbling to himself about the "shitheads who brought him here", but was more focused on getting his questions answered. He shook off the last of the snow that clung to his peg leg, and he realized he should probably clean it after this.

He hobbled around as best he could, the new surroundings being somewhat pleasant, but it still annoyed him. He couldn't see any people he recognized nor any places that looked familiar. As Zeff turned, though, he saw a building that resembled a restaurant. Now THAT was definitely a place he should check out. It was odd, but the smells coming from it were vaguely familiar, and it gave him a sense of nostalgia. Like something he hadn't felt in a while suddenly came back to him. It calmed him a bit as he pushed open the door, ready to demand some answers about this place.
