luceti | 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.

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!

Strengths:

Physical: Zidane's a pretty fast and agile fighter. Generally, he fights with two daggers. He doesn't have much in the way of abilities, at least not in the way that the other characters in the game do. He mostly relies on his own strength, with the ability to steal thrown in there as well.

He can also turn into a Trance form, which means that he gets a little more powerful and is able to access more abilities by doing so. This is basically the only time in a game that he actually uses offensive abilities like this; and these generally take form in the way of energy attacks.

Mental: Zidane's quick thinking. Being raised on the streets gave him street smarts that the rest of the party didn't have. For example, telling Garnet to be a little more wary of things concerning her identity and trying to shut Steiner up about calling her princess. Even though this may have been a no-brainer for some, it was still necessary for him to say.

Emotional: He'll do literally anything for his friends. Even for people who tried to kill him half the game, he'll risk his life to go back for to save. Take Kuja, for example. Zidane sent the others away in the end in an an attempt to get them to safety before going back to the dying Kuja. He had wanted to help him in the very end, even though he had done horrible things to him and his friends. Of course, this sort of 'I'll do anything for you' treatment extends to his other friends as well.

Weaknesses:

Physical: Even though Zidane's quick on his feet and fast, he doesn't pack the strongest punch. He doesn't have the greatest defense either, and seeing as how he normally doesn't use abilities he's at a slight disadvantage there too. In the case where the party can only use magic to defeat an enemy, Zidane has to sit those fights out.

Mental: There is a slight disadvantage for being raised on the streets. Zidane's had no formal education, which means he doesn't have a whole lot of knowledge on some things. Some of those, being etiquette. Even though he's rude to some people, though, may not be because of lack of discipline but his own decision making. He singles out Steiner for most of this rudeness, even though he shouts his rank at Zidane until he's blue in the face, it makes no difference to him.

Emotional: There's a point where it can be said that Zidane cares too much. Especially when it comes to Garnet; as his mood is somewhat influenced in certain parts of the game because of things that happened to her. When she becomes queen, he goes into a depression - even though he should be happy for her, he's rather upset at the thought that he might not see her again. At least, not in the familiar way he wanted.

With that, he also has a temper when people mess around with him. Even though he remains calm on the surface, do something to his friends and he'll be quick to get angry.
