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: Troy's fairly athletic due to his time playing football. He's also a graceful dancer, having originally taken dance to work on his coordination and coing to find a liking for it. His time at Greendale has also caused him to discover some hidden talents: he is a prodigy at repairing machines and pipes. He has been hailed as the legendary "truest repairman". As proof of his skills, in the episode "Advanced Gay", Troy was able to quickly repair a compound coil facture in the air conditioning unit at the school's cafeteria, an operation which Laybourne deemed was impossible to accomplish so quickly.

Mental: Despite often seeming dim, Troy is sometimes surprisingly self-aware of himself and has shown himself to be responsible from time to time. In "Mixology Certification", he wound up passing on drinking altogether on his 21st birthday in order to see all of his friends safely home and to help Annie through what was bothering her. Troy has also displayed great patience and understanding, particularly in dealing with Abed and his problems. He was able to step up to the responsibility of telling Abed that he had gone too far and had to stop before he got hurt at the end of the celebrity impersonation episode.

Emotional: Of the group, Troy is almost pure emotion. He helps to balance Abed out and to keep him grounded. Aside from his humorous nature being able to generally lighten the atmosphere, there are also points where Troy is able to help the group after tough times. This is most evident after they were all kicked out of Greendale, and Troy pointed out that they were all still alive and together so that this was not the darkest timeline, and he went as far as to call Britta "the best". Troy also went as far as to sacrifice his freedom to the air conditioning repair annex in order to save the lives of him and his friends. His role as the "truest repairman" also implies that his presence may have been subtly "repairing" the lives of the study group around him, helping them to evolve so that they could prevent darkness without him in "Introduction to Finality".

Weaknesses:

Physical: Troy's main weakness is simply that he is an average human. Also, despite being a star football player, Abed has been able to outmatch him as an athlete in "The Politics of Human Sexuality". And his lungs will not thank him should he ever try to defeat any type of flaming troll by swallowing it, as what happened to his dark timeline counterpart in "Remedial Chaos Theory".

Mental: Troy is often very weak-willed and is easily swayed to believe others. Until he turned 21, he believed that everyone is 10 twice, which caused him to miscalculate his age until the study group caught onto this childhood lie. He is not especially intelligent, either, which goes hand-in-hand with his naivete. This caused him to not "get" Inception and it also holds him back from reaching Abed's level of meta. One example from the first season was when Troy had a subplot which was a parody of Good Will Hunting. Troy never noticed it, but Abed caught onto it and quoted the movie earnestly. Troy confused this with Abed's actual wishes about him and became angry at him for it. Sometimes he is just slow on the uptake, as in one episode where he was shocked by wondering whether or not he parked by a meter before realizing the actual revelation which the others were already being shocked by. He also has a very crude and immature sense of humor.

Emotional: Troy is emotionally fragile. It does not take much to make him cry; it's as simple as playing Styx's "Come Sail Away". He also has a number of phobias which plague him, many of them irrational. And although, like many, he seeks some sort of acknowledgement from a celebrity, he hopes for nothing more than an autograph due to an intense fear of disappointing someone he admires. This was displayed in "Intermediate Documentary Filmmaking", when Troy could do little but freeze up upon meeting his idol, Levar Burton, and he underwent an emotional breakdown afterwards. Troy also used to have a problem with how overinflated his ego was, but this problem was overcome as he befriended Abed and overcame most of his insecurities. His primary remaining insecurity is the one regarding his intelligence.
