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.

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!

I'd like to see her personality fleshed out a little. Right now it talks mainly about her relationship with the two others she worked with, but doesn't really touch on anything else beyond some basic character traits.

Wah, I'm sorry about that! I'm just reposting the Personality section of the application and enclosing the added parts with asterisks, if that's okay! I hope the stuff I added is all well and good!

Personality: In terms of personality, Alex is typically a kind, soft-spoken person with something of a motherly side to her. Despite her rather provocative way of dressing along with her model-like figure, Alex surprises people with bits of shyness and compassion displayed to others. Out of the three main characters, Alex can be considered the least reckless, usually having a good sense of intuition and reasoning. And although her general personality is shown as someone quiet, Alex is also seen as a woman with an inner strength inside of her and a stubbornness that shows how determined she is to meet certain goals.

As for her relationships with her fellow roommates, Alex is on good terms with Worick and appears much more closer to him than with Nicolas. Despite Worick's lackadaisical and flirtatious nature with her, Alex knows that it's a part of the way the man is, and she can't help but get a small laugh out of it all. Just as she is comforting and kind towards Worick, the man reciprocates his feelings towards Alex and the two appear as good (but still new) friends.

Nicolas, on the other hand, is a bit of a different story... He was the one that suggested to kill her the first time they met, after all... But despite all this, Alex doesn't bear any sort of animosity towards the man, even making an effort to communicate to him in sign language because of his deafness. And although Nicolas is typically aloof and brash towards Alex's attempts of communicating with him, he eventually shows a more concerned side of himself to her and very slightly breaks down his wall that he had built up. From what has been revealed so far, Alex has begun to harbor some romantic feelings and admiration towards Nicolas, and the Benriya has even displayed some kindness and worry for her, in his own way of course... But looking at it more simply, it's evident that Alex does respect and admire Nicolas, while the deaf man is beginning to act less aloof and brash towards her.

(The author of GANGSTA., Kohsuke, has used the Wheel of Fortune tarot to symbolize Alex. Although the meanings for tarot cards are defined by the individual reader, I see it as describing her as a woman bound by fate but also with the potential to change that fate and avert crisis. It also shows that she is guided by the whims and actions of others but is not exactly restricted by them. I've done tarot readings with the Thoth deck for several years now, so yeah...)

*** When it comes to likes and dislikes, Alex has a relatively good tolerance for most things. She seems to have a fondness for things like oranges and Perrier and is quite a good cook to boot. And although she has had some prior experience with sign language before being a part of Benriya, her limited interactions with Nicolas have inspired her to learn sign language so that she can (hopefully) communicate with him better. Not so oddly enough, Alex is quite tolerant of having herself being insulted, but she will quickly come to the defense if someone else is a target. This can cause her to be a bit impulsive at times, like when she had defended a little girl from a group of thugs by swinging at them with a piece of wood. Her sacrificial nature appears to be something that she has just inherently had all her life.

Her thought pattern is one that is typically both calm and curious. Living with Benriya, Alex is exposed to a somewhat familiar yet foreign part of Ergastulum, eyes always glancing at the next, new sight. She is rather complacent and agreeing when approached by people, if only a bit shy and nervous at first. At the same time, she knows when to put on an act around people that tend to be a bit more dangerous, using her sex appeal as a sort of defense against those people. And, of course, when she goes into her episodes of seeing Barry's phantom, Alex becomes extremely nervous and vulnerable. Her speech is nonsensical and barely audible, and tears will quickly well up in her eyes. If she somehow doesn't have access to the tranquilizing pills that she keeps with her most of the time, there's a good chance that Alex will faint from the panic and sudden exhaustion that she is overcome with. As much as Alex insists that she's fine, it's obvious that she's not the greatest at handling herself when she is completely alone without anyone else around. ***
