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!

History: Ingo has no official backstory, nor any involvement with the main plot of his canon, so the following has been reasonably headcanon'd. It can be changed/discarded as needed!

Ingo was born in teeny tiny Anville Town with his twin brother, Emmet. Their parents both worked on the subway, the only transportation to reach the town, and so Ingo grew up with an early admiration for the trains. He was also very attached to his father, a stern and stoic man, and young Ingo looked up to him and strove to emulate him. He and Emmet went to school in Nimbasa, the city most closely connected to their hometown and the city harboring the main subway station. They rode the trains back and forth, first accompanied by their parents and then allowed out on their own.

When Ingo turned thirteen, he was given his first Pokémon, a Litwick, and sent out alongside his brother on a traditional Pokémon journey to trek the Unova region and try the gym challenge. He used the familiar subway when possible to reach where he could, and fared quite well against several gyms, but he decided that the gym challenge wasn’t for him and returned to his home in Anville. He still kept up his battling skills and trained with Emmet until they could battle fluidly together.

Three years later, his mother became gravely ill. While Ingo hadn’t been as close to his mother as he was to his father, this still troubled and overwhelmed him. His father, too occupied with staying by his wife’s side, didn't provide well for his children, so Ingo took it upon himself to keep the household going.

His mother’s health fluctuated, keeping her in bed for weeks at a time, and she inevitably passed away. Ingo’s father, losing all sense in his grief, completely abandoned his children and job and disappeared, leaving Ingo and Emmet to pick up the pieces. Ingo held it together for the sake of his brother, but his admiration of his father was shattered completely. He couldn't afford to stew on it, and instead buried his disgust with his father under the responsibility he shouldered in order to support Emmet. They pulled through, and his father returned from his anguished flight after a month, but Ingo had been left with a significantly darkened worldview and stayed cold towards his father whom he previously admired so dearly. Eventually being around their father became so awkward that Ingo and Emmet moved to Nimbasa, taking jobs in the subway as depot agents. They rose quickly in rank and respect because of their knowledge and skill, becoming some of the youngest higher-ups in the system. It wasn’t long before they became the heads of the entire Subway.

A few years before the events of Black & White, the idea of adding a battling aspect to the subway arose; the thought was embraced heartily by Ingo and Emmet, and they were ~~crazy enough~~ convincing enough to sway the other workers into agreeing to set it up. It became an instant hit with trainers, and was advertised as another attraction in Nimbasa and as the Unova equivalent to the Battle Towers in other regions. It kept Ingo occupied and busy, and that is where he has stayed ever since.
