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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Strengths:
Physical :
+Tough hide, Renamon’s Diamond Storm attack didn’t do a lot to him.
+Pyro Sphere, is his main attack. Where he fires a blast of fire from his mouth.
+Digimon, made out of data and as such only data based attacks can do a lot of harm to him. (This is told by the government attacking the Devas, logically it also applies to Guilmon)

Mental/Emotional:
+Childish wisdom, he doesn’t dwell on things that he doesn’t understand, he accepts them and moves on.
+Straightforward, he doesn’t lie or make any attempts to hide the truth, even if he may have gone against Takato’s wishes he’ll tell him. He says when he spends time with Impmon, even when Takato said he shouldn’t.
+Optimistic, even when he’s being pulled away from Takato he fully believes that they’ll see each other again one day.

Weaknesses:
Physical :
-Cannot digivolve unless Takato is around, he relies on his partner’s power for that.
-Bond with Takato. If Takato isn’t around, Guilmon can’t reach his full potential. He’s also emotionally linked to his tamer. If Takato gets angry, so does he.
-Vaccine types, as a Virus Digimon he’s weak to Vaccine Digimon.
-Dark digivolution, if he’s forced into digivolving he can end up as Megidramon. A mindless, destructive beast, and his personality is pretty much gone.

Mental/Emotional:
-Temper, if he flies into a rage it’s difficult to calm him down, as seen during Leomon’s death.
-Childish, he’s still very young and as such very gullible.
-Disobedient, occasionally Guilmon will not do what Takato asks him to do. The order “stay here” had Guilmon follow Takato to school.
-Simple minded, he doesn’t question very much. He just accepts what Takato says at truth.

Samples

First Person:
Wow, this sure doesn’t look like the Digital World. Well, not the part we landed on before. [pause] I wonder where I am. And where Renamon and Terriermon and everybody else is. We were gonna go back together, right? Maybe they’re somewhere else... The digital world sure is a big place. It was real easy to get lost before. Maybe a data stream picked them up! Aww, then we’re all over the place!

It’s alright, I’m sure we’ll find each other. Even if it takes a while.

Third Person:

He wakes on his stomach in the middle of the woods. He takes a moment to get up and look around. The funniest thing about it was that he didn’t remember ending up here. Guilmon’s last memory was starting to dedigivolve into his In-Training form, but looking down at his claws he was definitely still Guilmon. Forest was the only thing that surrounded him. It was a far cry from the desolate wasteland with data packets rolling all over the place. There were trees and everything. And he didn’t remember the funny layers before they made it to the surface the first time he went to the digital world. There wasn’t any floating around, or falling that he could remember. Gosh, that sure is strange.

Guilmon shakes himself off, getting rid of whatever leaves and dirt were on him. And huh, that’s funny he doesn’t remember having wings before. Takato didn’t use a card on him before he left either, so where did these things come from? He turns his head to try and get a look at them, they kind of looked like the white wings that Takato gave him before, but there were only two instead of the card’s six. Did somebody give him wings while he was asleep? He didn’t think anybody could do that, but he has been wrong before. He puts the thought aside for now. It didn’t really matter where the wings came from, after all. He had friends to try and find.

He sniffs the air, it all smells crisp and clear, but it seems that his friends aren’t anywhere close by. That’s alright, he’s sure he’ll find them again. Maybe not right away, but at some point he will. He picks a direction and starts walking. Starting to look was the first step to finding. And Guilmon really wanted to do some finding.

Sorry for the long delay on response to this. However, I would like to ask for some revisions here.

Firstly, I'd like to ask for an expansion of his strengths and weaknesses. You describe some of his specific Digimon-related weaknesses/strengths without translating what those things might mean in a panfandom RP setting such as this. Try to think of his strengths in a more literal sense - what would he be strong enough to do or lift? Also, while we do accept bullet pointed lists, I simply don't think you provide enough detail, so a few sentences each more expansion in each section would be great.

Secondly, I'm having serious trouble actually hearing Guilmon's voice in his sample - it unfortunately comes across as kind of generic. I'd like to give you a Q&A to fill out.

Finally, there's not a lot about Takato in Guilmon's personality! You have about four sentences, and considering just how vital Takato is to Guilmon, I'd like to see a little expansion on their relationship and how it affects Guilmon. Another paragraph or so would be great.

Again, sorry for the delay, and if you have any questions feel free to PM the mod account or my own personal account,

revolutionary. Thanks!
