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

Personality: Depending on the circumstances you met him in, the first impression Aleos gives is either a perfect gentleman or a brat; in a sense both are true. Being raised in nobility ranks Aleos knows how to be polite on a surface level, but whether the politeness continues is determined by his judgment of the person after he learns more of them and begins to push the boundaries of what is polite. Regardless, he can be a gentleman when the situation calls for it and when he genuinely wants to be. Aleos has also been taught by Janice and Anna to be honest whenever possible, including trying to avoid lying by omission when it was applicable. Though the incidents of the last eleven months have forced him to keep many secrets, when he was able to he gave as much of the truth as he could. The downside is he can be brutally or even insultingly honest; when asked his opinion he tends to hold nothing back and speaks exactly what is on his mind, calling things out as he sees them, though one of the few areas he does not do this is when it concerns his mental well-being. Even then he is willing to open up if he knows he can trust the person, though it doesn't happen often because he doesn't want people to know how battered his sense of self-image truly is. The treatment he has received for being openly soft-hearted has left scarred him, as has his guilt whenever he was unable to do something to protect someone and his tendency to sometimes fall ill frequently. Try as he might, Aleos sometimes dwells on 'what-ifs' that cement his self-image of being useless and weak. Because he has been hurt he attempts to seem distant, sometimes extending to being deliberately cold even though he regrets doing so. Being naturally shy beneath the protective cover he created for himself Aleos can be rather quiet, and it is all too easy to keep to himself despite popularity gained from his status and looks. Knowing some people are interested in him because of those two things he is cautious of anyone who approaches him first, even if he acts politely and amiably. These instances of self-hatred occur most often when his friends are not with him.

But for all his harsh remarks, teasing and sometimes cold demeanor, Aleos is still capable of the kindness Janice had claimed he was gifted with, even toward strangers and his enemies. He develops feelings for people quickly and cares for them as a whole, hating to see unnecessary suffering or lack of compassion and sometimes doing things as seemingly small as helping a homeless man earn a meal, taking a friend out with the intent of cheering them up or simply listening to someone's troubles as a silent support. He is vehemently against bullying and pushing people down, knowing all too well the feelings of being on the receiving end of it thanks to his experience with Lucius and the Hendersons; the degree to which he stands up for victims can almost be irrational, as he feels that strongly about it. He also sympathizes well with those who have been classified as outcasts or "different," having received such treatments in both Rowaddon and Regar. It was this kindness that allowed him to stay by his friends as they were revealed to be Auria, in fact giving him more reason to remain faithful to them. The downside is he tries to keep these instances discreet, preferring to downplay the difference he made and overall being modest. When asked why he acts so kindly he echoes his grandmother in saying someone should because kindness could only survive if it was fueled, occasionally adding on the importance of genuine kindness in saving someone's life as a means of indirectly referring to his experience with the people he holds dear. He never holds regrets for helping out someone when they needed it, and his kindness was part of the reason why he had wanted to learn alternate medicine, the other being that he developed a fear of sharp objects touching his body and sometimes taking medicine after the incident when he was younger.

His sense of dedication is the reason why Aleos is one of the best students in Arash-Meir, and why he has deep connections with his loved ones. Even before leaving Regar Aleos gave his all in everything he did; after all, giving everything he had brought about not only personal satisfaction and a feeling of accomplishment, but often it meant his loved ones' happiness. This applies to everything he does be it his studies, cooking, music, or his friendships. Even with his rough relationship with his brother Aleos would do everything he could for him in secret, always making sure that he did as much as he could for those who had shown him genuine kindness in the past regardless of where their relationship currently stands. For this reason he refuses to give up on a person, and leads us to one of his greatest strengths and weaknesses at the same time: how emotional he is. Even before he became a Le'sachi Aleos would get very worked up or easily emotion, even if he succeeded in hiding it from most people a majority of the time; the only people he never fooled were those who were very close to him. He is easily prone to responding with anger, frustration and sometimes even panic during moments of stress. 'Collected' is not a way he would be described by anyone who saw him on a day-to-day basis outside of class, even if he managed to keep a calm face. Because he is so honest his emotions, especially the more negative ones, leak into his overall demeanor very easily, to the point that if wouldn't be untrue to say he can be passive-aggressive, and as a matter of fact that is how he handles his anger and stronger jealousy. It often leads to shifting through various topics in a conversation, mood whiplash being something that can almost be expected. In dealing with sadness he tends to become quiet and because happiness was never abundant in his life, he will most often express it with just a small smile. He feels strongly, and all too often is overwhelmed and unable to handle it on his own, thus when he tries during a bout of insecurity he often lashes out unknowingly by twisting words into hurtful remarks, coming to regret what he said quickly even if his inner turmoil made it difficult to stop. He recognizes full well when he crosses the line, but is rarely able to stop himself in the moment.

If you ask his friends and those who know him, they will say that Aleos' best trait is his sense of judgment and ability to recognize when people are hurting, seeing in them the hurt he has experienced and generally being empathetic about it. While he has views of what is right and wrong, he does his best to remain open-minded and tends to judge a person not on their past or what they have done, but what on what he has seen for himself and the actions they are carrying out in the present. Though he is capable of holding grudges and does, he still tries to find the best in people, making him closer to being idealistic than being pragmatic. It was what his grandmother taught him, and the way he wishes he could be seen by others would judge even more so now that he has witnessed what he has.
