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.

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!

First Person: Q&A, please!

Third Person:

Sophie had a big problem: she needed to decide which game to play next.

Her options were pretty limited right now. In the absence of Norma and her bubble straw, Sophie had chased imaginary bubbles all over the garden until, puffing away, she’d plopped down on the grass. Wally was gone and Fen was busy. Gee Girl was in the garden with her, but she said that she needed to help the flowers. Probably she could help the flowers with Gee Girl, but she didn’t want to. And she couldn’t go find Wally because she wasn’t supposed to go out of the garden by herself.

Maybe Gee Girl was done helping the flowers. She should go look.

She pushed herself to her feet. “Gee Girl!”

The answer she got back wasn’t “Yes, dear?” or “Hmm?” but a loud squawk. She looked up. Ques looked down from his nest. (Ques was a peepit, a giant bird at least as tall as Fen with really big feathers. Fen said that he was from the Legacy, which was why he was the only one in Luceti right now. )

Oh. She was under his tree.

…Now she knew who she wanted to play with.

“Ques!” she called up to him. “Come here!”

Ques squawked at her again but stayed in his nest.

“Come here!” she repeated.

Ques just looked at her.

Sophie glared up at him. “Come here!”

When he didn’t move, she nearly yelled even louder, but then she remembered that Ques always came down for a treat. He liked peaches, but she didn’t have any and she didn’t know where to find them. But that was okay. She knew what to do.

She bent down and ripped up a handful of grass, then held it up. “Come here, Ques! I gotta treat!”

Ques made a sound that seemed pretty happy, she thought, and hopped out of his tree with lots of wing-flapping. When he was on the ground, he nudged her hand with his beak.

“Here,” she said and opened her hand. Bits of grass drifted away on the breeze.

Ques kept nudging away at her hand, looking for the food. She pushed it at him. “Here.”

Ques croaked and gave up. He started preening his feathers.

Sophie let the rest of the grass fall away. She then patted his side. “Down.”

He swung his head around to look at her.

She reached way up and thumped on his back. “Go down.”

Finally, Ques sat down with a grumbly noise.

“Good Ques,” she told him.

She then swung a leg over his back and sat down. She got a good grip on his long neck.

Okay. She was ready.

“Up, Ques!”

“Sophie, what are you doing?”

Sophie glanced over to see Fen running towards her with a grocery bag in each hand.

“I’m going on a ride,” she said. “Up, Ques!”

“No, you aren’t – get off that bird right now!” Fen said right back.

“But I wanna go on a ride,” she insisted.

“You’re too heavy – Ques can’t carry you.” Fen bent down and picked her up; Sophie scowled but clung on. “Ask Walter when he gets home.”

Sophie stuck out her lip for a moment – then blew out a sigh. “’Kay.”

At least she had somebody to play with now. She’d just have to go for a ride on Ques later….

Quick note: her Ferines traits (even something as seemingly slight as the ability to breathe underwater) also belongs with strengths and weaknesses. If she has anything beyond that, I'd like to see an expansion.

Here's a Q&A for you, apologies for the delays:

Damn, sorry about that. You'd think it would have occurred to me, but apparently not. I'll go edit that in.

In the meantime:

1. What's the most important thing you remember about your parents?

Daddy is a good singer. He singed me songs. Albert showed me how to hear him in Fen's journal. I gotta do this.

Mommy had a nice bed. It was warm. I could go in it when I had bad dreams. Then they weren't bad, because Mommy is really good at that. That's important.

2. What do you want to be when you grow up?

I dunno.

Maybe a treasure hunter like Norma. I could find lots of stuff.

Or I could fight the bad guys. I could save lots of people, like I saved Ginny.

I dunno.

3. Do you have any hobbies? Tell us about them!

Yeah. I like drawing. I'm a good drawer. Yossuba says I'm not, but she's mean and she tells lies.

And I like using my eres. Wally is teaching me. It's easy. I wanna do harder ones.

I like playing with Norma, with the bubbles. She blows really big ones. And I like playing with Ques but Fen won't let me go for a ride.

I like my blocks. I can make them go really high. I want to make them go higher, but I need more ones.

4. What's your favourite part of the day and why?

I like the afternoon, because I can play. I don't like before, because I gotta take a nap. I don't need a nap, but Fen says I gotta.

Sometimes I can help Fen in the afternoon. That's fun I guess, if I don't hafta help too much. Sometimes it's boring.

5. Describe something that makes you sad.

People going away. People go away a lot. Gee Girl says they come back and I just gotta wait. But I waited forever and they didn't come back. Daddy isn't back and Mommy isn't back and Aunt Shirley isn't back. Gee Girl is wrong.

...I want my Mommy and Daddy.
