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 [community profile] 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 [community profile] 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!

Cheyenne | Original Character | 2/idk

[personal profile] distressedude 2012-01-01 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
History:
Cheyenne was born in a nation known as Aregania, where a powerful monarchy had kept the lands and their citizens at peace for centuries. In the lowlands of Aregania, people known as Elemen lived. In this world, there were two kinds of humans: those without powers who lived in northern Aregania, and those with elemental powers that flow through a separate circulatory system in their body.

The elemen, believing they were a higher form of evolution in the timeline of humanity, rebelled against the reigning Areganians. Their elemental abilities gave them a stronger advantage against the powerless humans. Each elemen possessed only one of the following: fire, water, lightning, (plant) life, wind, and light. By the time Cheyenne was born, most of the Areganians had been wiped out by war and their royal family was massacred. Aregania was under control of the Elemen.

However, the crimes of their people paid a heavy cost. The elemen had prayed to their deities for help in removing the Areganians from power. Using the power of the Gods, their armies acted like barbarians, tearing through cities and murdering innocent citizens. Seeing the way their blessings had been used in such twisted ways, the gods punished the fore-runners of the rebellion: the leaders of the different elemental clans. Their souls were painfully torn from their bodies, leaving behind mere traces of who they once were. Only one person survived this process: Valorini, head of the Light eleman clan. Instead of death, she had been transformed into a monster, craving the souls of others to make up for her own lack of one. Using her ability to manipulate light, she created illusions of terror that incited strong emotional responses within her fellow elemen and tore out their souls, feeding on them rather like a vampire. She had become the first Illusionist.

To an Illusionist, a soul is a near-physical part of what makes up a person. All living things possess a soul. Each soul is broken up into four distinct categories: length, strength, potency, and power. For Valorini, the only section of her soul remaining was Power, allowing her body to continue living indefinitely. The souls she took were converted into more Power, which prolonged her life for decades. And yet no matter how many souls she devoured, her hunger was never satisfied: she still lacked the rest of her own soul.

Fifty years later, Valorini had decimated the populations of elemen. Wars began sprouting between the existing Elemental clans as the people struggled to appoint new leaders and deal with the monster that could decimate all life and create ghost towns in just one night. As the flames of chaos tore across the planet, the elemen were faced with just one solution: they had to leave. Aregania is a large nation on a small planet and there were no alternatives for them outside the country. Pleading once more to their gods, the elemen were given an answer with the discovery of the Enchanted Forest.

Believed to be a hub that connected every world in ever universe amidst a sea of evergreen trees, the gods sent signs directing the elemen to enter the forest in the hopes of discovering a new world to inhabit. There was a stark rift between those who trusted the gods and those who did not. In the end, only the Light eleman clan stayed behind as the rest of the remaining elemen clans marched towards an unknown future. In the course of a hundred days, the wars grew quiet and the cities were emptied. The Light elemen, still distrustful of the gods because of what happened to their once beloved leader Valorini, stayed behind even as their numbers continued to dwindle. Within a few short years, only one village remained. Within that village was where Cheyenne lived.
