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!

aoto | ar tonelico qoga | iii
Aoto isn't a people pleaser. While he will often hit it off with people he just met, he's not about to bend over backwards to get someone he dislikes to change their opinion of him. Firmly a believer in being one's self, he works hard to remain light hearted and make the people he cares about smile through his antics. His canon is largely about changing people's viewpoint by being yourself - showing that you care and that you can make a difference, simply by making your feelings known to other people. It's through this simple ideology that the party manages to regenerate their entire world, using kindness and their own eccentricities to cast light into the darkness of other people.
But this doesn't mean that he's honest about his feelings or particularly in tune with other people's. Aoto can be a shoulder to cry on and a shield to protect whomever needs it, but he's not very good at the aspects inbetween. He sees someone in trouble so he rushes in to do what he can, often brushing off the reasoning behind their troubles if he can't really understand why they would be in this situation or do something like that to themselves. If he wants to protect you, no one is safe - not even your own mental defenses, he will get in there and become your strength if he absolutely has to. This sort of steadfast determination combined with his easy going personality often has him saying or doing things that come across as being somewhat of a jerk. Which, admittedly, he is. He often says what's on his mind and how he feels regardless of consequence, even more so when it happens to relate to the attractiveness of the ladies he's surrounded by.
Aoto spent much of his life being surrounded by people much older than he was, lost his parents young, and was raised by a gruff old man who loved him like his own but lacked the emotional side sensitivity for things. When it comes to actual romantic feelings about someone, he's really not very good at expressing himself. The best way he can think of doing things is to act like himself or to dodge the touchy emotional subject with an over the top reaction, or a typical tsundere glance away and denial. He's not fooling anyone, though, and when the things boil down he's absolutely willing to lay it on the line.
It can also be said that he treats people differently depending on how they come across to him. Vulnerable and childish Saki is almost favored and treated differently than say, the brash and loud Finnel, even if he he cares about them equally. And Tyria, strange as she is, is really no more than a normal girl to him even if she is practically the goddess of their world.
Strengths:
Aoto is actually an incredibly creative young man. This stands out in his solutions to problems within the soulspaces, within the game, and when grathmelding. Give him a handful of materials and he'll somehow craft an amazing piece of armor or a weapon, with little to no regard for how things should have been put together to create this. It's eventually so great that he's able to make a slab of rock float with no explanation other than he thought that it would be a good idea. He's also a very skilled painter and carpenter, as he'd been working as a steeplejack apprentice for five years prior to the game.
This kid takes things in amazing stride. If someone tries to kill him, he's completely alright with accepting their apology and trusting them if they've even so much as shown a hint of regret. Despite his lack of finer sensitivity, he's all for protecting people and being honest. He's not one to play with someone's heart and lying leaves a bad taste in his mouth if it's for anything other than jest.
Aoto's a pretty strong fighter. He's able to hold his own in a battle against most enemies humans would run screaming from. He has no training other than what he's taught himself to do, and considering the weapon he fights with is a bizarre fusion of a sword, drill, and clamps? It's no big surprise. He's very much in shape and can run up flight after flight of stairs without getting winded. He can also apparently fight in his skivvies without any adverse affects.
Weaknesses:
Aoto's pretty simple by nature. Even if he's a great craftsman, he lacks the finesse to make things look... normal. his fashion sense is more than a little skewed, and the rest of the party is often left commenting that while the functionality is great, the appearance is simply hideous. He's not very good at following the technical speak that makes up the majority of the plot's reasoning, ignoring that in favor of what he can do to help.
Aoto's also not exactly the king of handling traumatic experiences. While he can take most of it in stride without freaking out, there is a limit and when that is surpassed he runs the risk of developing Border's Disease. He's only human, after all. Along with this, he's not very bright in the common sense department sometimes which can lead him into further trouble.
Trusting way too easily is one of his biggest faults. While it often works out in the party's favor, it's clear that he's a bit of a bleeding heart and would prefer to protect everyone and see them happy than to leave them alone and out in the cold. He's often blinded by his own promises and rushes headlong into things if it means keeping a promise.
And in the end, Aoto's only human and can go down just like everyone else.
Re: aoto | ar tonelico qoga | iv
First Person: This place sort of reminds reminds me of home. Heh, kidnapping and the wings aside, I could almost be back in Blue Canyon Hamlet if I squinted. 'Course there are a lot more good looking girls and people my own age here.
But, anyway, this isn't about that. This is an announcement to declare that the Something Random item shop is now open for business! The name's a work in progress but we're here to stay. We don't just make new things, we can also take your old weapons and make them awesome again. All I need is some material and a few hours.
Third Person: Aoto couldn't tell you what happened between point A and point B. He couldn't describe what it was like being yanked from one world and thrown into another, he could only vaguely answer that he remembered thinking that he had more important things to do than to go on a trip. He couldn't tell you what was after Point A, he was too busy focusing on the fact that after this they could regenerate their broken planet and he could take his friends out to see the ocean.
What he could tell you was that Point B was cold, wet, and deeper than he expected.
The ocean was so vast it was practically suffocating. Not just because he'd found himself sucking water in when he should have been holding his breath, but because once he broke the surface it simply seemed to go on forever. The young steeplejack apprentice kicked his feet, coughing and wheezing while doing his damnedest to avoid the water-ship that rocked nearby. It would be absolutely breath taking, if his breath hadn't already been taken by the nasty waves rolling over his head.
It's cold. Really cold. The chunks of ice should have been a dead give away but he should not be in here. What was his luck these days? Aoto twisted, turning to look at the high ledge of the ship. The sides were probably too slick to climb, but...
There!
The rope! Aoto braced one hand against the thick block of ice in front of him, kicked one foot out to propel himself forward and reached, flinching at the blast of pain that raced down his shoulders at the action. Almost, almost - there!
The climb wasn't his best. He managed slowly, inching up the rope until he was able to clamber over the side. Once inside, he shuddered, jumping from foot to foot in an attempt to keep himself warm. "Whoo, I thought I might really be done for that time..." A glance over the ship. Completely deserted... Was this some trick? This certainly wasn't anywhere on the Tower. "... Tyria, Saki, Cocona, Finnel, Gojo... Are they here too?" A stubborn shake of his head. As much as he'd like to go look, he'd freeze at this rate. "Clothes first. Gotta warm up. I'd have heard it if they were in there with me."

But, anyway, this isn't about that. This is an announcement to declare that the Something Random item shop is now open for business! The name's a work in progress, but we're here to stay. At least until these Malnosso jerks send us back home. I specialize in armor and weaponry, but accessories and toys aren't that hard. [ They just come out somewhat... deadly. ]
And we don't just make new things, we can also take your old weapons and make them awesome again. All I need is some material and a few hours. I can do pretty much anything just as long as I've got the right materials.
