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!

Legend of Korra / Ikki / Reserved

[breezing]

Strengths:

physical: Small and built for speed! Ikki is basically able to keep up with her motor mouth in a physical sense, bouncing around without seeming to need to slow down, and she's not that easy to catch - ask her father, Tenzin. Always seems to have energy to spare and then some, it isn't out of the ordinary to find Ikki as one of the root causes of Tenzin's frequent child-rearing-related stress. Ikki is also an airbender - one of the four types of benders in Avatarland, airbenders can manipulate the air - Ikki typically uses her bending to bounce around, fly up in the air in joy, land gracefully when someone (KORRA) launches her into the air in a fit of annoyance, or to air scooter it up. That said, she's also used it for fighting, in the sense that she air scootered over some really rude people who invaded their island. Ikki is a pretty accomplished kid when it comes to airbending, which shouldn't be any huge surprise, considering who her grandfather was.

mental: When Ikki actually focuses on something, she focuses. She loves her home a lot, and knows it down to every single tree - seriously, all 10,552 of them - for one example. For another? She's actually capable of shutting up and meditating, although Korra storming off from her first-ever lesson did get Ikki's hopes up that she could go off for juice, too. Unfair! Given that airbending has a huge spiritual component (lol Korra), Ikki is pretty in-touch with herself and the world around her - although most people would (correctly) assume that Tenzin and Jinora have more calm-spiritual bearings. Despite being seven, Ikki is pretty well-spoken (when she isn't squealing incoherently, at least) and intelligent, if incredibly blunt and childish; one can assume it comes from living on an island with very few children (read: she and her siblings? only kids in the place), and from her big sister always having her nose stuck in a book. Despite Ikki interrupting Jinora's explanations 97% of the time, she does actually learn things from her sister. It'd be sort of impossible not to.

emotional: Optimistic pretty much 99% of the time, Ikki is hard to get down. She seems to bounce back pretty quickly from anything that happens to her, and she's very strong-willed. Ikki very much personifies the "airbender spirit" Aang once saw in Teo and the other refugees at the Northern Air Temple. She's fun-loving, upbeat, and curious about everything and everyone. She's willing to try anything once (or twice, or three times...) and she very clearly adores her family, her home, and her life. Even after horrible things happened - after her home, Air Temple Island, was invaded, and Republic City fell under attack - Ikki still found reasons to smile. She managed to introduce herself and her older sister and younger brother to Rohan, the newest memeber of their "super great" family, with a smile.

Weaknesses:

physical: Ikki is, after all, seven. Her physical strength isn't really top-notch, and if someone actually catches her? She's not going to be able to physically overpower them. She relies a lot on her bending without really thinking about it - she's always been an airbender, after all - and can't imagine not having that around, although she has been forced to consider the possibility of life without airbending following her capture by Amon (thankfully it didn't come to that - Korra swooped in to rescue Ikki and her family from having their bending stolen, and they escaped unscathed). In terms of her bending weaknesses, Ikki is still in training! No mastery tattoos here. Also? Seven. Despite her seemingly boundless energy, Ikki does need to rest, and she crashes pretty hard when she's tired.

mental: Ikki is fairly easily distracted, for starters. She barely gives people any time to listen to her questions before going off and asking more, and she loses interest in things just as quickly as she becomes interested in them, as far as anyone can tell. She also doesn't really have the best grip on things like "logic" and "reality" sometimes, in the way that seven year old girls don't always have the most realistic views of things. The following is a legitimate canon quote from Ikki: "No! No! No! The best way to win a boy's heart is to brew a love potion of rainbows and sunsets that makes true lovers sprout wings and fly to a magical castle in the sky where they get married and eat clouds with spoons and use stars as ice cubes in their moonlight punch for ever and ever and EVER!" Asking Ikki for advice on romance is clearly an ace idea, Korra. Ikki also reads a lot less than her sister, and has only so much interest in reading herself - a lot of the time she just doesn't know the actual legitimate facts, and she may or may not make them up and/or just ask Jinora or Tenzin or any available victim nonstop what she needs to know rather than going out to look it up herself.

emotional: Ikki, while upbeat in general, does have her down moments. She can get scared, for example - and to be honest she has good reason, when her father is frequently drawn into conflict in Republic City, and when her entire world has very recently been turned upside down. She can act independently but is not independent; Ikki is very much a person who needs other people around, and not just due to her age. She needs her family around, and she clings to them a lot (literally, a lot of the time, as she can often be found hanging off of Tenzin or holding Jinora's hand, or playing with baby Rohan, now). Ikki is a people person - she doesn't do well when she's separated from others for long periods of time, and she doesn't really like being apart from her family, although for Ikki that can mean just being on the same island rather than being directly beside them, depending on what she's up to. She can also get upset with people fairly easily (although it's just as easy to appease her, and after making faces she doesn't do much anyway).
