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.

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!

Personality: Anything that is iffy or may be explained in possible later canon adaptations is in italics. This is just fanon to support weak points in canon.

Yuzuru Otonashi lives and breathes to assist people, quite literally. He possesses a powerful sense of morality and humanitarianism, though tend to get emotional when he fails to save someone who is depending on him; the redhead doesn't take this particular flavor of failure very gracefully. Despite his young age he will go to heroic lengths to help someone, even if this compromises his own health and welfare.

Otonashi is naturally careful and well-mannered unless a life is at stake. Generally, he prefers grounded logic and struggles to wrap his head around the supernatural for instance, and can only accept otherwordly concepts after experiencing them first-hand. Overall, he is a thinker, not a dreamer. That said, before his death he was shown to appreciate playing video games, so he enjoys fantasy and gaming as much as one might expect out of a teenaged boy, and he is familiar with gamer terms (NPC for Non-player-character, for example).

Due to his warm demeanor, he is typically quite easy to talk to; though sometimes he has very little to offer in terms of reassuring words, he is an excellent and willing listener. More than once has someone spilled deeply personal events to him, and each time he has been accepting and accommodating. The act of listening to someone vent may be a step to that person healing, which in turn is a massive fulfillment to him.

In everyday situations, Yuzuru appears a touch meek. Even though he will step in to assist someone when they need it, sometimes he just cannot connect with them otherwise and might not converse with them outside of missions. Rarely does he approach people just for the sake of approaching them despite how friendly and soft he is. The people around him often have to drag him into a situation to force him to be social, but without their interference he struggles with it a bit more.

In Episode 4, Hinata drags him into a group immediately to play baseball, but in Episode 6 when he approaches Angel alone to offer a brief social outing, his voice sounds shakier and he stammers more. This is most likely due to his asocial tendencies pre-death. He spent his time away from people and his parents are never shown. (From the information given, he may not even remember them.) Therefore, Otonashi probably lived a lonely life. Being a social butterfly and life of the party is out of the question, but Otonashi is not a social reject either.

Asocial does not mean anti-social, however. Otonashi will not unabashedly insult or count someone out unless under duress. He was rather brash when he arrived in the afterlife, but only because he was being fed unbelievable information all at once, all of which lead to distress and confusion. When Yuri asks him for an opinion on their group's name early on, Otonashi replies with "Screw You Battlefront." Beyond extreme pressure and confusion, he tends to keep harsh opinions to himself and if he has the knowledge to, he can even be a decent leader. He just has to stay level-headed and there has to be a need for him to lead.

Though he is usually polite, he will not stand for outright abuse from others and will at least express his displeasure if someone hurts him. Nothing unusual there. He is not prone to grudges, but he does remember when someone has lashed out at him. Take Noda, for example; Otonashi doesn't hate Noda, but he is never really close and friendly with him either. Just neutral.

Once he is comfortable with a friend, he will happily jest with them. This is most commonly seen in his interactions with his canon best friend, Hideki Hinata and their infamous questions of each other's sexual preferences, along with playful badgering and borderline flirting (Usually on Hinata's end).

In a dire setting, he'll easily voice his opinions, concerns, and even be willing to fight when he needs to. Just because there are rules in place doesn't mean he will blindly stick to the program if his feelings conflict with it. As one might imagine, injuring a fellow human being is not his favorite thing in the world, but he won't let himself go down without a fight if he can help it either. Monster-like or otherwise faceless enemies seem to be less of an emotional challenge for him since he really cannot relate to them on any human level. He will step up to challenges, but that doesn't mean he'll always be the most confident person out there. Yuzuru will never be a hardened, calculated warrior.

And on that note, there is such a thing as being too kind for one's own good. This selfless behavior, while admirable and desirable in a person, has cost him his own health and welfare in the past. Whether he is overworking himself for the sake of another or internalizing too much of his own hurt, this trait has bitten him quite hard. During an earthquake, a train he was riding fell victim to a tunnel collapse, killing most of the passengers on board and injuring the few survivors. Otonashi himself suffered from internal bleeding, but kept the injury secret from the other survivors for the sake of keeping morale. Due to the disaster, the rescue effort to dig the other passengers out took 7 days, and Otonashi succumbed to his injuries as the tunnel was being uncovered. Everyone, sans one heavily injured passenger and Otonashi himself, survived the ordeal because of Otonashi's medical knowledge and selflessness.

Otherwise, when asked he will talk about himself to the best of his ability, but he will only do so if he is certain ― absolutely certain ― that the person he is speaking with is in good health and of sound mind. He refuses to unnecessarily tax someone else.

Overall, though? Yuzuru is generally sweet, often quiet, and just out find his place in the world. While he's at it, maybe he can make it a better place.
