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.
FANDOM CHARACTERS
Confused? HERE is a quick explanation of how to fill out our fandom applications.
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS
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!
Wario
Name: Wario
Fandom: Super Mario/Wario series
Gender: Male
Age: late 20s
Time Period: After being ripped off by Captain Syrup at the end of Wario Land: Shake It!
Wing Color: Purple
History: Gamehiker
Personality: Greed. That one word would suffice to sum up Wario's personality. There isn't a person who has ever been quite as greedy as Wario and it so often exists as his sole motivation for anything he does. He'd do anything to earn some cash and shows no loyalties to his friends. It's not that he's a bad guy, he's just got a very very simple mentality. He wants to have everything and screw anyone who gets in his way. In actuality his greed has proved to be useful in defeating some rather powerful foes. Because all his motivation comes from getting richer, he works out often and uses his strength to bully those smaller than him. He's extremely arrogant and loves to mock those who try to stop him. Even if there's no money in it, Wario takes particular delight in seeing other people miserable, be they man, woman, or child. He wouldn't hesitate to kick a puppy in his path, in fact he'd probably take a detour just for that purpose. Despite being a terrible human being in general, Wario possesses a cunning and sometimes brilliant mind. If there's something he wants enough, he'll do anything to get it. Even if it means inventing a device to send him to television land or learning to program games or starting a huge mega corporation to sell video games.
There's other aspects to Wario, remote as they are. For one, he still has a long standing rivalry with Mario. Though Wario has long ago abandoned making a foe out of Mario, he has kept the rivalry going strong, mostly in the form of competing with Mario whenever he has the chance. He's desperate to make Mario look bad and prove himself better. While there are many theories as to why this might be and where it all came from, there's really a simple reason for it. In the Mushroom World, no one is better at everything than Mario. So what better rival for Wario than the best guy in the universe? Wario is just as eager to prove himself better than everyone, but Mario is the one guy who is almost always better than Wario. Why? Because Wario thinks he's 'all that' and his ego and vanity are very important aspects of who he is.
It's because of his massive ego that Wario is so abrasive and insulting to everyone he meets. Right away Wario likes to establish himself as the dominant figure and the absolute best around. He won't take no for an answer. In fact, the only answer he'll take is, "Wow Wario you're so amazing!" or the person lying face down on the ground, having been thoroughly educated in Wario's superiority to everyone. (In truth, Wario is not quite that violent, but he would pretty much be happy to punch anyone who disagrees with him.)
Despite how cruel and mean tempered Wario is, his acts are juvenile at best. He may not care about anyone, but he isn't a killer. He might insult someone mercilessly, but the insults are what you might expect on an elementary school playground. Everything about him is really like him being an overgrown manchild, determined to get everything he wants because he happens to be uniquely capable of getting it. As a result, no one tells Wario what to do. When he's done adventuring and counting his riches, he'll sit on his couch and watch TV, eating unhealthy food, and not bothering to clean after himself. Really, when it all comes down to it, Wario is everything that you don't want your child to grow up into.
Strengths:
Physical: In spite of his girth, Wario is a powerhouse of muscle. It's hard to get an exact idea of how strong he is, but given he is in the same category of characters like Bowser and Donkey Kong, it says a lot. (Especially since Donkey Kong once punched the entire moon into the planet.) Wario is just a strong guy. He's shown to lift weights pretty consistently, despite his slobbish lifestyle. More than that, Wario is just durable. The guy can take a hit and another and another and keep on trucking. Even things that would kill or harm Mario - like being flattened, burned, frozen, spiked, stung, poisoned, shrunk, zombified, bitten by a vampire, thrown off a building, eating rotten garlic, electrocution, obesity, trapped in a bubble, and other problems will usually do little more than cause Wario to react in unusual (and sometimes helpful) ways, until he gets himself back to normal. Also, on top of that, Wario possesses superhuman sports powers. Yeah, he'll beat you at Golf. And basketball. And hockey. And polo. And then he'll inform you of how much you suck compared to him. (Spoilers: It's a lot.)
Under the right conditions (such as eating some particularly funky garlic), Wario has the ability to transform into Wario Man. This mysterious superhero who is totally not Wario has all of Wario's powers, but amplified! As Wario Man, he is capable of flight and... well, that's kind of it. He's already stupid strong, so he just gets a dumb costume and the ability to fly. He also seems to be impervious to damage, but his superpower supercharge seems to only be temporary.
Also, his farts are downright atomic.
Mental: At first glance, no one would look at Wario and consider him a fortress of mental prowess. And then they would be wrong. Horribly wrong. And Wario would make fun of them for it. While Wario can be incredibly dense and miss the most obvious of social queues (like take a shower or go away), Wario can actually be pretty intelligent, provided he is properly motivated. Tell him he can make millions making video games and he'll hunker down and learn to program them. Tell him that there's a show on TV where he can steal tons of riches and... yes, he'll somehow make a dimensional transporting device to warp him into TV land. In other words, Wario is a waste of brainpower unless he is properly motivated by his own greed, at which point he can pull off superhuman feats of superintelligence.
Emotional: Emotionally, Wario has one concern: Wario. But his concern is primarily motivated by greed. He loves to be rich. Being rich means having all the steaks he could want, it means having an awesome car, it means living in a castle, and it means being better than that loser Mario could ever be. As a result, Wario's emotional strength is that his world is centered entirely around himself and no one else matters. You can't 'break' Wario because even if you steal all his gold, he'll just track you down and beat you up and steal it back. And probably steal any other gold you have in the process!
Weaknesses:
Physical: Despite his apparent inability to actually be killed by anything, Wario is far from invulnerable or all powerful and most of the scenarios above are enough to knock him down a few pegs. Also, for all his boasting, he's actually not all that great of a fighter. He relies so much on his brute strength that his entire combat style involves pushing around weaker people.
Mental: Although Wario may be gifted with situational genius, most of the time he's actually just a moron. He never thinks of the consequences of his actions and just does whatever he wants at any given time. Consequently, he's easily tricked or fooled. For instance, he built a television helmet to warp into a TV show to steal a bunch of gold, only to return home empty handed, because he had no way to bring it back into the real world. Likewise, Captain Syrup tricked him into going on a huge quest to loot another world of treasure, only for her to steal all his loot after his quest was over. He's Wario. He just doesn't make good decisions. Not paying his employees at WarioWare may seem like a good idea for making more money until they all decide to open a new gaming company of their own.
Emotional: Although Wario has a penchant for the usual vices (food, women, and wine), they are nothing compared to his insatiable lust for gold. Although money can give him the resolve to do just about anything, it also has a tendency to distract him from what he's doing (even if it's saving the world!) and there's been quite a few times where his blind greed has led him to returning home from his adventures empty-handed. His own greed and selfishness is very often his own undoing.
Samples
First Person: I've done it! AT LAST, WARIO HAS DONE WHAT YOU ALL THOUGHT IMPOSSIBLE! That's right chumps, you told Wario, "Nyahahaha! You can't do that!" But look, I've done it! I bet you all feel so smug realizing that you shmucks were wrong by every possible definition conceivable, up to and including: "utterly and totally thick in the cranium"!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I'd make a list of all the losers and shmucks who didn't believe in me, but that would mean I might have to remember your names, which are too ridiculously stupid to bother even articulating. So I will insult you by referring to you as morons one through ten. Moron one, you suck! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Moron two, you're a chump! Hey three, you're even more ugly than you give yourself credit for! Oh, and four? You're not even worth insulting! I could go on, but I won't, so get over it!
What's that? You want to know what I did? Try and not be such a stupid chump and maybe you'd know!
Have a rotten day!
Third Person: Where did the castle go? That was the question that dwelled on Wario's mind as he stared at the overflowing sink in his dingy home he had 'bought' in this backwater world. Of course he realized it was free, but Wario never accepted charity. Especially not when he had sissy wings on his back and had a barcode on without so much as a price scanner around. That had concerned him at first, because while he knew that there was no doubt he was probably worth a ton of money, he had yet to be convinced that everyone else realized that about him either. It was a rather unfortunate case of everyone being complete morons, but that was hardly any different than attending some stupid party by that big-nosed freak with the red hat.
And yet here he was. Something was definitlely amiss in all this. By all accounts, it made no sense. He had a castle and it was full of treasure and he should know! After all, what with pirates stealing it away and the treasure trying to kill him, he certainly was positive there had been lots of gold. Yet now he was in some dingy house in a moneyless economy. What do you sell to people who can get everything for free? He recalled distinctly being a major corporate mogul thanks to his enormously successful video game business he had opened called WarioWare. But now he was stuck with a leaky faucet that he was just going to have to fix himself. Those dumb wings were going to get in the way too. It made him wonder if Paratroopas found it as much of a hassle as he did.
Well, wings or not, he wasn't going to fix that sink. That was a plumber's job and you'd never catch Wario under a sink fiddling with pipes. That was the work of that faucetfreak whatshisname who was always trying to steal Wario's style. With all the chumps in this dump of a place, he figured he would be able to 'convince' someone to do the work for him. He smacked the knuckles of one hand into the palm of another. Oh yeah. This would totally work.
Wow, Wario. Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
