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.

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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Personality: At first glance, Stiles comes off as nothing more than your average teenage boy with a smart mouth that never stops moving, a surprising intellect, and a very strong case of ADHD. And while all of these things are true, they’re merely to first, visible layer to a boy that has so many layers he’s constantly dressed in three or four of them.

The first of these layers is his sparkling wit and sarcasm. It’s his first, and often times his only defense against the crazy things that go on around him and the world at large. He’s a regular human surrounded at all sides by people who are stronger, faster, more violent and less human than he is. So he compensates the only way he knows how; through the use of sarcasm and self-deprecating humor. And sometimes-just sometimes- it’s enough to throw their enemies off, or at least make them think that Stiles is harmless and therefore not a threat. But mostly…it just gets him hit, or thrown violently into things. But aside from that, Stiles also uses his humor as a way to disguise what’s really going on with him. He isn’t the kind of guy that opens up about his problems, and part of that is probably because he’s too busy dealing with his best friend Scott’s problems, or looking after his dad’s health, or trying to comfort his crush Lydia and make sure she’s safe. He throws himself into other people’s problems instead of caring about his own because they mean more to him than he means to himself. So it makes it difficult sometimes for people to know what’s he’s thinking because he either laughs their concern off or finds a way to direct the conversation away from him and onto others.

Now, it would be impossible to talk about Stiles without talking about his mom. The only thing we know about her is that she died at some point years before the series began and that she left a giant hole in the Stilinski household. But more importantly, she left a huge wound on Stiles. Since his mother’s death, Stiles has formed a small group of people in his life that he would do anything for. Those people being his dad, Scott, and Lydia. He’s loyal only to them and he’s fierce in protecting them. But he only feels this way about them. He’s so protective of them that he’d risk his own life-and if the need calls for it other people’s lives-just to keep one of them safe. That’s not to say that Stiles doesn’t care about people in general, just that he doesn’t care as much about them as he does the special three people in his life. And how this connects back to his mom is because after she died he had to live with the knowledge that people can go away and never come back, and he’s so afraid of losing someone else that he keeps the amount of people he really cares for small and imposes himself into their lives to make sure nothing will happen to them that will take them away from him.

That being said, Stiles does actually care about people and can act quite selflessly if it means saving a life. The best example of this is the handful of times he’s helped saved Derek Hale’s life despite the fact that neither of them likes each other very much. Sure he’ll bitch and moan while doing it, but the point is he still does it. Just don’t expect any selfless acts like to happen if you’re drowning at the same time his dad, or Scott, or Lydia is being attacked or threatened in anyways, because then you’ll be on your own. And he doesn’t do that to be callous, but simply because he can’t trust that people won’t one day eventually leave and hurt him even more. His dad and Scott are safe choices because he knows he’ll always have them and then there’s Lydia who he never really had a chance with anyways. He cares about them above all else because they matter to him but also because they’re the safest options.

So what my last paragraph is hinting at is the fact that Stiles doesn’t trust easy. In fact, I think his trust issues are about equal to those of Derek’s, who has legendary trust issues for some very good reasons. He trusts his dad, Scott and even sort of Lydia, but no one else because, again, opening yourself up to more people just leaves a greater chance of them leaving you behind. So while Stiles is a pretty over-all friendly guy, he holds a lot of stuff back and isn’t really in the market for some new friends.

Now, flipping that around a moment, Stiles trusts his core three people, but they…can’t always trust him. Because in his ever struggling effort to protect those he loves, he’s not above lying to, manipulating or withholding information from said loved ones if he believes he has good cause. Case in point, his dad is the Sheriff of Beacon Hills and yet he knows nothing about their little werewolf problem. Why? Because Stiles wants to keep his father away from the problem as possible, which…really isn’t too far since it’s his dad that gets to deal with all the dead bodies that keep popping up. In season one; he went as far as refusing to call his dad to the school where he and his friends were locked in with a killer Alpha because he didn’t want his dad getting hurt. And did I mention Scott and Lydia where also there and in as much danger as he was? Yeah, so even that small group is prioritized one through three with his dad being at the top of the “keep safe” list.

Stiles also happens to be quite the genius, or at the very least a master in google-fu with a lot of time on his hands. What makes him such a vital asset in the show is the fact that he’s quick thinking and always researching things. He craves knowledge and it’s become even more important to him since the series started because it makes him feel needed and important. He might not be able to sprouts claw out of his hands or move exceptionally fast, but he sure as hell can spend all night researching lycanthropy to help his best friend through his first full moon. He’s the brains to Scott’s brawns and honestly, Scott would be totally lost without him. But he also has ADHD which causes his focus to bounce around and he has a prescription for Adderall which sometimes makes him hyper.

One change, or discovery, that Stiles made in season two is that he’s starting to realize exactly how dangerous things can be and how powerless he is to stop it. In episode 2x10 Stiles was poisoned with the Kanima’s venom that paralyzes the victim’s body and he had to watch while the Kanima’s master, Matt, knocked his dad unconscious. That was a turning point for Stiles because, one, despite everything he does to protect the people he loves, he has no defense against the supernatural elements in his life, and two, because he’s put in a position where he’s useless and can’t help his dad or protect him from the things lurking around Beacon Hills. And in the last two episodes of the season he has to take a step back and figure out whether there’s a point to keep fighting or not. In the end he chooses to help out his friends, there will always be that thing lurking in the back of his mind wondering whether he should walk away.
