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.

You may also link to a thread or post on the Training Wings community to use for your first sample.

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: the Joker may be scrawny and untrained, but he is still a dangerous foe. He’s capable of beating guards in fights, mainly due to his sheer unpredictability and vicious nature, and he has beaten a crimefighter trained by Batman to death before (admittedly, there’s no indication as to how old Jason Todd was at the time, or what the circumstances were, but it’s still fairly impressive given the boy’s mentor). As well, the Joker seems to be immune to his own Joker Venom, presumably from years of being exposed to it.

Mental: despite his appearance, the Joker can be quite cunning – this is someone who can outsmart Batman from time to time, after all. He also has quite a skill in chemistry – demonstrated by his Joker Venom, a mixture of laughing gas and lethal injection that leaves corpses with unnatural smiles on their faces - and is able to turn comedic props into deadly weapons. He seems to have an almost MacGyver-like skill at turning random objects to his advantage – anything from common chemicals found in a janitor’s closet to silverware could be a potential weapon in his hands. Though he would not be able to make a large amount of Joker Venom with the supplies that he could get in Luceti, even a little is still dangerous in his hands.

Emotional: the Joker is a master manipulator – he tells people what they want to hear, and makes them believe every word that he says. He is capable of changing his attitude like if it were putting on a mask, painting himself as an abandoned child-like figure crying out for acceptance, a harmless prankster, or an oblivious buffoon – whatever the situation requires. As well, he has no shortage of self-esteem – despite numerous failures, he still believes that one day, he will kill Batman.

Weaknesses:

Physical: the Joker is a normal human, and a fairly weak one - though he can beat up your standard rank-and-file police officer, a person with any sort of martial arts training would annihilate him in a fair fight. Hence, why he doesn’t fight fair. The Joker has no superpowers, and though coming to Luceti will cure him of his Titan sickness, he’ll still be a great deal weaker than usual, given that he’s had one foot in the grave for months now.

Mental: the Joker’s pride often gets in the way of his own victories – in his mind, he is the only one who can beat Batman, and will kill anyone who might kill Batman to prove it. It doesn’t help that he feels that Batman needs to be broken, physically and psychologically, before the Joker considers him beaten, meaning that he tends to avoid simpler solutions in favour of grandiose and impractical deathtraps. The Joker is also very volatile – he’ll kill people if they fail him, if they succeed at their task, or simply if it would be funny. Fittingly, as the polar opposite of Batman, he virtually craves the spotlight and the attention that being a supervillain gives him, openly bragging about his plans to anyone who will listen and putting on grand televised demonstrations when a more subtle approach would work out much better.

Emotional: the Joker is, to put it simply, incapable of considering basic human decency. He assumes that, deep down, all people are as twisted and psychotic as he is, and all it takes is one bad day to create another person like him in the world. Because of this, many of his schemes tend to fail because he underestimates the human spirit. Love is a foreign idea to him - even though he's in a relationship with Harley, it's really just because it makes her easier to manipulate. He is also quite childish at times, and he refuses to take anything seriously. As well, he can be overconfident to nearly-suicidal levels, assuming that he’ll survive whatever life (or, at least, Batman) throws at him.
