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!
Re: Fattycakes | OC | 2/2
Name: Fattycakes
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown, but an adult Puffski. Maybe, if he were a human, he'd be 18-20 or so? Maybe a bit older?
Wing Color: White
Physical Appearance: Here's a picture of him. Or you can just look at the icon, but this one is bigger.
Fattycakes is a small (about five inches high), round, puffy creature called a Puffski. His head is shaped like a nub. His eyes are almost totally black except for a small ring of white sclera around them. His fur is tan in color, but in some lights it can appear golden. He's a very simple being; there's not so much to describe about him physically.
History: Fattycakes was born on the Puffski home planet- or rather, he was created by their mother goddess, making him one of the first-generation Puffskis (future generations would be born through natural reproduction). In his early years, he didn't even have a name; he was just an ordinary Puffski, puuing and buuing around the home planet. However, when Puffskis were given their multiverse-traveling powers, he took off around the multiverse in search of adventure. He visited a great many worlds of varying qualities- high-tech worlds, fantasy-type worlds, and even normal worlds like our own (though probably no worlds occupied by current Luceti residents). His travels gave him skills not possessed by many other Puffskis, including his keen navigational sense and the ability to naturally speak a few more syllables than most Puffskis could, including the ones required for the name he would be given in the future.
In one world much like ours, Fattycakes met a young human girl who became his best friend. He would return to her after traveling elsewhere, and the two became so close that he kept the name she gave him as a badge of their friendship. From the day she gave it to him onward, he would introduce himself with a "Fa-tty-cakes!" whenever he encountered a new person. To this day, even though he is away from her more frequently than he used to be, he will still return to her every so often to tell her the tales of far away worlds.
Speaking of tale-telling, Fattycakes eventually became a sort of traveling bard to the Puffskis on the home planet and to those who had settled elsewhere, a Puffski that would travel around the multiverse and then return with fantastic tales. When not residing with his friend, he would find a Puffski settlement and hole up with them for a while while relaying the stories of the worlds he had been to. Before being brought to Luceti, he was getting ready to make a trip back to the home world from his friend's world for another round of tale-telling, but it seems that he would have to explore another world before going home...
Personality:
If he is anything, Fattycakes is incredibly cheery and happy-go-lucky. He is practically a little ray of sunshine, always happy and curious. However, he is also very childlike, and prone to the occasional tantrum when things don't quite go his way. Curiously, he can flipflop between playful, childlike behavior and a surprisingly adult demeanor, showing that he has a mature side to him that isn't all fluff and puff.
One thing that should be said is that, if he cries, it doesn't always mean that he's sad. He can be a tad manipulative in his own cutesy way, and sometimes he cries just for the sake of crying, or out of frustration or to get his way.
Like most Puffskis, he is quite mischievous and has no qualms about getting up to silly pranks and antics. He loves amusing others; playing with humans and joining in on their activities is his favorite thing to do. He is sociable and will try to interact with others whenever possible. He tends to avoid sad people because he doesn't like being in situations that are too serious, but if he thinks he can cheer someone up, he will.
Strengths:
Physical: His small size lets him sneak into places that others can't reach.
Mental: Fattycakes can actually be quite smart when the occasion calls for it. His experiences traveling the multiverse have given him a good navigational sense, giving him an ability to read maps and sense direction that's better that that of some humans'. He can also speak English to a better degree than most Puffskis, but this is rendered moot by how Luceti enables him to talk without impediments.
Emotional: His cheer is quite resilient- he will remain happy and upbeat even when times are tough.
Other: Luceti's "animals can talk" rule applies to him, and so he has speech where ordinarily he would just have puu and buu noises. Fattycakes has the same glamour that most Puffskis do that lets him evade evil and prevents people from disliking him too much. Of course, this glamour is dampened in Luceti, so people can become as irritated with the little puffball as they desire, and things that intend to hurt him may not be kept away so well...
Weaknesses: (Physical, mental and emotional)
Physical: He's a five-inch-tall puffball. It should go without saying that he's not terribly strong!
Mental: Just as much as he can be smart, he can also be quite dense. More technical or arcane things will elude him.
Emotional: He can be a bit of a crybaby and prone to temper tantrums. His mischief can also come at inappropriate times- his fun mode doesn't always turn off when it's time to turn off, which is an aspect of his childish behavior.
Samples
First Person:
Puu! Hello! My name is Fattycakes, and I am a Puffski. I don't know how I got here, but I find this place to be very exciting! For one, I can talk here! In most worlds, all everyone hears is puu and buu. Only my fellow Puffskis can hear what I have to say. But now I can talk to humans, and that makes me happy!
Also, now I have puffy and soft wings! They are white, like angel wings. I've heard of angels on my travels. Have I become a guardian angel? That would be funny, wouldn't it? A puffy puu buu like me, being a guardian angel!
Well, I'm going to play with this journal thing some more. If you want to play, you can find me... by the fountain! Byebye!
Third Person:
Fattycakes awoke in the small hut he had constructed for himself in the forest. The sun was shining, a pleasant breeze was blowing, and the forest had a lovely natural smell to it. Today would be a great day!
The first thing he did was check his journal to see what was happening with the people of Luceti and where they were. Today seemed to be an active day, if the number of journal entries was any indication. There would be lots of people and places to visit, so he had to make an itinerary of some sort right away. Who would he go to first? He brought up the map in the journal to help him confirm where he thought everyone was. Even though he had a good directional sense, he still didn't know the place quite as well as he'd like to, and so a map was a necessary tool. Thankfully, he had good map-reading skills from his travels, so all he needed to do was give it a quick looking-over for the time being.
Fattycakes had one other mission on this day: to continue his search for Nala, the healing spirit. He may have been just a small puffball, but he was going to make himself a useful small puffball. Learning magic would certainly be an experience; the closest he had ever gotten to magic was the passive glamour that all Puffskis possessed that protected them from harm. Getting to use real, active magic like some of his (human) friends did would be exciting!
Also on Fattycakes's to-do list was learning how to fly. He had wings now; surely they were useful for something other than just being soft and feathery on his back. He had been told that he wouldn't be able to get very high or very far with them, but anything he could do with them would make him happy. Maybe flying would be faster than his usual scooting? He would have to wait to find out.
Having decided what to do, he set out on the day's journey, looking forward to his plans.
Request
In summation, we're interested in seeing more information solidifying his characterization in these two sections.
Revised Personality/Strengths/Weaknesses sections + Revised Powers section
Personality:
If he is anything, Fattycakes is incredibly cheery and happy-go-lucky. He is practically a little ray of sunshine, always happy and curious. However, he is also very childlike, and prone to the occasional tantrum when things don't quite go his way. Curiously, he can flipflop between playful, childlike behavior and a surprisingly adult demeanor, showing that he has a mature side to him that isn't all fluff and puff. That serious side is something he picked up from his adventures, which have had a few solemn situations; not all Puffskis have the ability to even switch on a serious mode, except when there's danger (in which case they might just panic instead of getting serious) or when Pufflings (baby Puffskis) are involved.
One thing that should be said is that, if he cries, it doesn't always mean that he's sad. He can be a tad manipulative in his own cutesy way, and sometimes he cries just for the sake of crying, or out of frustration or to get his way. He is known to periodically eat pies cooling on windowsills and then cry about them being too hot (even though it was his fault he ate something too hot anyway).
Like most Puffskis, he is quite mischievous and has no qualms about getting up to silly pranks and antics. If he eats something messy, he might pout and grumble until someone wipes his face off for him. He loves amusing others; playing with humans and joining in on their activities is his favorite thing to do. He is sociable and will try to interact with others whenever possible. He tends to avoid sad people because he doesn't like being in situations that are too serious, but if he thinks he can cheer someone up, he will.
When push comes to shove, Fattycakes can be surprisingly brave and show some leadership skills that other Puffskis may not possess. While he may not be able to do any fighting himself, he can use his reputation to lead his fellow Puffskis. If he can't quite lead them into battle, he can lead them on small missions that humans set up. On one adventure, he had to do just this. With a triumphant puu, he led his fellow Puffskis on an espionage mission of sorts through a villain's castle in order to get a grasp of its layout.
Strengths: (Physical, mental and emotional)
Physical: His small size lets him sneak into places that others can't reach. When he was investigating the aforementioned villain's castle with the other Puffskis, he was able to secretly squeeze into the castle via a Puffski-sized crack in the wall. His small size also allowed him to squeeze into the castle's messaging system (a series of tubes) for quick travel.
Mental: Fattycakes can actually be quite smart when the occasion calls for it. His experiences traveling the multiverse have given him a good navigational sense, giving him an ability to read maps and sense direction that's better that that of some humans'. When given a town map, he's good to go and he can navigate a town with ease. He can also speak English to a better degree than most Puffskis, but this is rendered moot by how Luceti enables him to talk without impediments.
Emotional: His cheer is quite resilient- he will remain happy and upbeat even when times are tough. During the adventure where he had to investigate the castle, it seemed like the castle would be totally impenetrable and the villain would be able to destroy the heroes' stronghold without any risk of retribution. At a time when most people were panicking or giving in to pessimism, Fattycakes became inspired to lead the Puffski espionage mission through the castle.
Other: Luceti's "animals can talk" rule applies to him, and so he has speech where ordinarily he would just have puu and buu noises. Fattycakes has the same glamour that most Puffskis do that lets him evade evil and prevents people from disliking him too much. Of course, this glamour is dampened in Luceti, so people can become as irritated with the little puffball as they desire, and things that intend to hurt him may not be kept away so well...
Weaknesses: (Physical, mental and emotional)
Physical: He's a five-inch-tall puffball. It should go without saying that he's not terribly strong! Other people can abuse his size to capture him easily. When he was discovered by the villain, the villain simply put him in his pocket, zipped it up, and kept him there for a bit. Thankfully, he was able to escape when the villain unzipped his pocket to put something else in.
Mental: Just as much as he can be smart, he can also be quite dense. More technical or arcane things will elude him. One time, he was sitting in on an important strategy meeting... and he absorbed absolutely none of it. He had no idea where the human he was traveling with was going, leaving him lost when she rode off to battle. She did come back and get him before she went too far, though.
Emotional: He can be a bit of a crybaby and prone to temper tantrums. His mischief can also come at inappropriate times- his fun mode doesn't always turn off when it's time to turn off, which is an aspect of his childish behavior. During the above strategy meeting, he had trouble sitting still, so he was scooting around the table and puuing and buuing and bumping people during the meeting. Eventually, he had to be shoved into a bag to make him hold still.
Revised Powers Section:
Other: Luceti's "animals can talk" rule applies to him, and so he has speech where ordinarily he would just have puu and buu noises. Fattycakes has the same glamour that most Puffskis do that lets him evade evil and harm and prevents people from disliking him too much. Of course, this glamour is dampened in Luceti, so people can become as irritated with the little puffball as they desire, and things that intend to hurt him may not be kept away so well...
Fattycakes also has two emergency powers: a powerful bite from fangs that he can pop out at will (normally they're hidden, so if he nips you as a joke, you'll be totally fine), and a laser he can shoot out from his mouth. The mouth laser is only in cases of extreme emergencies though, so he might not get to use it much if at all. Also, its strength is dampened as it should be by Luceti's rules.
