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!
Yun // Suikoden III // Reserved
Since she had always been treated like an equal rather than a child in her own village, she finds it cute when outsiders act otherwise. It really doesn’t bother her at all! It’s refreshing to meet people who don’t expect a serious amount of maturity from her, even if it causes misunderstandings here and there. In fact, not a lot at all seems to bother her, not even when people call her weird or possessed. She knows it’s rarely out of malice and how odd she must seem to those outside of her village with all her talk of spirits and fate (not to mention how she speaks to plants and animals, if Kidd’s investigations are to be believed). That, too, amuses her and she can usually defuse any worries about her with how friendly or assuring she is. Of course, despite how responsible and grown-up she may act, she still retains the curious nature of any other child, full of questions, never too shy to approach anyone with them, especially if there’s a good story to be had out of them.
And while Yun does possess a fair amount of tact, something expected, amongst other things, when one is a shaman of the village, she is fairly open about what is going on and what is on her mind. Of course, that doesn’t stop her from pulling the mysterious seer card to get people to go along with her plans. That, however, is reserved for times when something absolutely needs to happen, like when she needs an escort to travel with her or to convince certain people to go help a village win a fight. In that way she is well aware of her power and uses it to her advantage, but never excessively so; just as she knows how to take advantage of that power, she also knows how abusing it would only do harm, which a peaceful girl such as Yun would never dare cause.
Yun // Suikoden III // Reserved
Mentally, she is bright and alert and displays an immense understanding of life and death and various other deep topics. As a Grasslander of Alma Kinan, she already had a close connection to the spirits, but as a shaman, her communication with them is much more open and direct (not that it made them all that much clearer) and has taught her a lot about the way the world works, while her ability as a seer has tempered her to act wise far beyond her years; she has been relied on by her village to guide their path and has been the one who pushes people far older than herself into motion before. The ultimate example of all of this is when she, a twelve year old girl, is the one consoling a grown and war-hardened knight when it is Yun, not the knight, who is leaving to die, and explaining why what she does is for the greater good, even if it will make a few people sad. Also, I will note here that her abilities most likely fit into this part: her ability to communicate with spirits (as well as animals and plants to some extent, as noted by Kidd’s notes on her in-game) and her ability to see the past, future, and likely instances of the present.
Emotionally, Yun is pretty dang strong. She’s calm, steady, and patient, even under duress. She was able to accept the end of her life with her only regret being that she did not have at least one more day to be with someone, but nothing else. Then there’s a general lack of fear or anxiety that might riddle the average life; she grew up knowing exactly where her life was going and never had to worry about or fear any unexpected surprises. Admittedly, this made things somewhat dull, but what can you do?
Weaknesses: As mentioned before, Yun is average for a girl her age when it comes to feats of strength. As a shaman, learning to hunt and shoot an arrow and all of that wasn’t a big concern for her, so she never became as athletic as the other women of Alma Kinan. Besides, she’s twelve.
Mentally and emotionally, though, doesn’t have quite as many weaknesses; her mind is her strongest card to play and she’s fairly adept at controlling her emotions. There is a disconnect between how she lived and how normal people live, though. She may know a lot about spirits and fate and mystical whatever you may have, things like the overall functions of the world, but the details of day-to-day life of, say, a regular kid? It’s unlikely she’s ever done things like build a snowman or play a game of hide-and-seek. In addition to that, the greatest hurdle she has ahead of her would be living again rather than some failing from within her canon. She was never supposed to live on past a certain point, up to which she knew quite a lot about what was going to happen to her. An unforeseen extension would be the first real surprise she’s encountered and that’s a jarring introduction into the world of uncertainty.
Yun // Suikoden III // Reserved
First Person:
Is this how it goes? Hmm. I think I’ll get something to write with for this later...
[Talking to a book is still a strange concept to get used to, but if that’s how everyone else does it, it won’t hurt to try, at least until she locates a pen.]
The forest here reminds me a lot of home, but that’s really as far as it goes. Not that that’s bad! It’s interesting to be somewhere new, though I wonder if I’m in the minority thinking that... [She actually doesn’t mind.] Everything sounds different here, you know?
[Here she pauses, thinking back on that.]
Or maybe you don’t, though I think I heard that everyone can hear them a little. I mean all the spirits. The ones from home were tricky on their own to talk to and these ones won’t even use words. I wonder... Maybe they don’t let interaction with us influence them enough to, or maybe they’re all too old to change from how they communicate now. Does anyone else know?
Third Person:
Experiencing the unexpected was, simply put, unexpected. The unexpected had been something Yun had never had to consider before. Before now, of course. Now was clearly different, since the misty realm within the True Water Rune was not prone to forests and skies with mountains in the distance. Snow wouldn’t have been that much out of the question, but the rest was telling enough. Oh, well, and being alive, too, she supposed counted amongst the sudden differences. To be fair, she had never felt all that much different between being alive and being a spirit, but that was something she could dwell on later. Supposedly there would be a later...
She wasn’t sure if there would be, actually! It was a strange feeling, not knowing. Yun wondered briefly, as she got to her feet and brushed snow off of herself, if she should be scared, but that thought was discarded almost immediately. No, that would be silly, being afraid. It wasn’t like there was some threat looming over her, unless you counted the cold weather and that was passive as far as threats went. Now excited, that would do. A place she shouldn’t be, with no idea of how she got here, no clue of where she should be going, and... wings?
With no one around to see (though whether that would have stopped her or not, who knows), Yun had no issue with nearly spinning in a full circle to try and catch a better glimpse of the new feathery weights attached to her back. Well, they at least looked to be wings, what she could see of them. Finding a mirror was now on the list of things to do. To find a mirror, though, she needed to find somewhere that would have one, along with a lot of other things. A quick scan of the horizon was enough to point her in the right direction. The middle of winter meant someone, somewhere, would have a fire going, and sure enough, she could see smoke!
“Alright. That way it is.”
Whatever that way was. She didn’t know. It would finally be an adventure!
