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!

Len is friendly. In crowded place and with people she trusts around her to keep an eye on her, Len knows no stranger. She will approach almost anyone if the atmosphere does not seem condusive to being abducted and dragged back to a slaver ship or otherwise seedy place. Len is always willing to lend an ear and offer sympathy, and she is always ready to give advice-- whether or not it's asked for. It may not always be good advice, but she means well.
Len is impulsive. If her gut tells her something, Len goes with it. It isn't panic when things go wrong. She usually has a plan when she does something. It's almost instinct, listening to the first part of her brain that comes up with a decent idea. She likes and dislikes people based on first impressions, though even moderate actions to the contrary can change her opinion dramatically. Some people see this as being "fickle." Len sees it as being "flexible."
Len is optimistic. In general, Len tries to think people are good on the whole. Aliens? Totally count as people in her book. She also tends to think things will work out like they should. This doesn't mean that she goes into things blindly. There's a healthy dose of realism as to dangerous situations and the knowledge that there are bad people in the world... She just thinks the good outnumbers the bad and that if competent people are involved in said dangerous situations, the right ends will come about.
Len is good at technology. Len borders on being a prodigy, and it comes quite naturally to her, but she also devotes herself to the work, too. She likes to practice with any piece of technology from any culture in Crystalis that she can get her hands on, and she learned (from a few pieces of pilfered Wyar technology) the basics of one of the most advanced forms of technology in her solar system. She has a long way to go before she can rival an Atrivis (the natives of Wyar) in terms of technical skill, but she outpaces most humans in her solar system.
Len has trouble focusing. While completely devoted to her technology and her hobby of Earth research, Len has difficulty concentrating on anything else. Despite over a year on Confidante and having been raised by a military father, she fails to grasp the difference between a boat and a ship (the number of engines) and such things as what separates a sloop from a first-rate figrate (the number of guns). She forgets the offical titles of most of the crew on ships on a regular basis, and she only knows a handful of Confidante titles without regular reminding.
Len is self-reliant. After having run away from home, Len quickly learned that nothing would be handed to her anymore. She went from being a well-off girl to a bum on the streets and learned to beg and steal, anything to keep from going hungry. When a crisis hits, the first person Len takes care of is herself. If she can then stop and safely worry about another person, she will. But if she isn't safe? She won't consider anyone else or any responsibilities she might have to anyone or anything until she is safe.
Len is always pushing herself to do better at her job. After being taken on as part of the crew of Confidante, Len strove constantly to prove she deserved to be there. She ran regular maintence on the ship's security system and set to hacking it herself to find out where the weak points were so she could fortify them. She learned to get through other ship's security systems using her logpad to turn their own guns against them or disable their shields or cut off their power. In one particularly vicious attack by a pirate vessel that was determined to kill as many of the Confidante crew as possible (also the battle that claimed Riley's life), Len hacked into the enemy ship and released their airlocks, sucking all the oxygen out of the ship and killing every pirate aboard. It was that stunt that proved to Captain Nodolt that Len could take over the late Riley's position as Technology Officer.
Len is a coward. The moment danger appears, Len is somewhere else. If she cannot run, she will do whatever it takes to diffuse the situation or put herself in a position where she can run. She will abandon anyone and anything at a moment's notice if her safety is obviously in danger. While she may feel remorse some time after the fact (once she is safe and the threat is gone), she does not show any hesitation during the course of her actions. When the Confidante engages in battle, Len can often be found hiding somewhere (usually under her bed) with her logpad, working on disabling systems on the enemy ship from the safety of her hiding place.
Strengths:
Physical-
Len is small and flexible, able to climb and fit herself into small places. She is fast when she runs long distances and has good stamina.
Emotional-
Len rarely panics. She makes quick decisions, but they are usually based on what is presented to her, rather than something she has made up in her head. Stress makes her react quickly and fully, but she does not act blindly. She tends to be very warm-hearted and likes helping others, often offering unsolicited advice that borders on the idealistic.
Mental-
Understanding technology comes easily to Len, as does the math for calculating probabilities, which helps in her gambling. When faced with new information, Len learns quickly if she is interested and applies what she can from prior knowledge.
Weaknesses:
Physical-
Len is very human with a moderate immune system. She is not very strong and has no healing abilities beyond a normal person's.
Emotional-
Len is a coward. In a crisis, nearly every thought of hers will turn toward the best way to escape. In high-stress situations, Len is very self-centered. If she is best served by a course of action, she will take it, regardless of how well it serves the person she might be with at the time or anyone who might be relying on her. Len is also very impulsive. If someone makes a good first impression, she will usually trust them, but her faith can be lost just as easily, and she will cut all ties if she thinks she has cause to do so.
Mental-
Outside her field, Len's ability to retain information is limited. She pays very little attention to anything off her computer screen, unless it has to do with her one major hobby of learning about Earth. When not invested in a subject, she is easily distracted by a new conversation, something else to look at, or even her own mind. She can barely write, raised almost entirely on typing, and her knowledge on anything non-Earth-related before about 2300 AD is shoddy at best. Even where Earth is concerned, her knowledge is a mix of fact and fiction, truth and conjecture, without much regard for which is which.
