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
↳ Appearance: Though he's less glam these days, Tahno has a pretty face and a good build, both of which could easily be used for manipulating others – something he may still be be prone to doing. We see him trying and failing to manipulate Korra with his looks in The Spirit of Competition, but that isn't to say the same attempt wouldn't work on other people.

↳ Muscle: He may not have his bending, but Tahno retains all the muscle he gained from training. With the body of a pro athlete, he's somewhat stronger than the average male. Not that it actually provides much of an advantage (see weaknesses).

Mental/Emotional
↳ Charisma: His charm is of the sleazy variety, but it seems to work for him regardless. During the height of his success, he had an entire posse that followed him around and supported his every move. They abandon him after he loses his bending, making it clear that the fame and fortune was the most important part of his personality to them, but the fact that they let him be their leader says something about his capabilities. He's good at getting people to do what he wants. It's doubtless more difficult without fame backing him up, but in the right circumstances could provide a social advantage.

↳ Cleverness: The cheating he engaged in, though cowardly, was pretty clever. If Bolin wasn't there to warn Korra in The Spirit of Competition, she almost certainly would have hit Tahno and disqualified her team. Without ever having spoken to her before, Tahno was able to accurately assess what would make her angry and used it against her. During the pro bending match in And The Winner Is, he uses illegal but innovative techniques in conjunction with his teammates, such as hiding rock pieces in water. He's not using that competence for anything good, but it's there.

Weaknesses:

Physical
↳ Bendingless: Tahno has muscle, but that doesn't mean he knows how to use it. Unlike other nonbenders like Asami and Sokka, he doesn't have any training in nonbending related fighting. Without his bending, he is rendered effectively useless when it comes to physical confrontation.

Mental/Emotional
↳ Emotional instability: As proven by his reaction to Naga popping through the restaurant window in The Spirit of Competition and starting to lose the match in And The Winner Is, Tahno unravels whenever things don't go his way. Rather than trying to calm himself down, he throws childlike tantrums and focuses on taking others down. He shows little regard for the feelings of others in general and comes off as self absorbed, even after he's lost his bending. Aside from not apologizing to Korra The Aftermath, he also doesn't ask if she's alright despite knowing that she went after Amon. For all he knows, she could have lost her bending as well, but he's too wrapped up in his own problems to inquire about it.

↳ Narcissism: In The Spirit of Competition and And The Winner Is, he's obsessed with his successes. In The Aftermath, he's obsessed with his failures. The subjects change but the focus does not – throughout everything, he cares most about himself.
