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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Just a few details! Things I'm sure you've thought of but haven't included in the app. For example, what sorta time period are we talking? I can tell it's modernish, but beyond that? Present day? Mid-2000s?

Second, could you give us a more pointed explanation of how the houses/vampire political structure works? I know you gave it to us from Alex's learning POV in the history, but I just wanna make sure you have it solidified and decided upon before going in.

Third, a note on her abilities. You mention she's 'very strong' when her vampire advantages are in play, but didn't give any references. How strong is very strong? What can she do? How does being only a half-vampire affect her strength? Can you describe her mental abilities more concretely for me? Specifically the limitations re: willpower and how it will be affected by the power cap within the village.

Sorry. Totally forgot to actually note the time period. Alex is 18 in the summer of 2011, so 2012 or so when she's pulled into Luceti.

There are nine vampire houses. They are known for the regions they are made up of residents from. North America, South America, Northern Africa, Southern Africa, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Australia, Northern Asia, and Southern Asia are all represented. Each house has one head, most often elected, and they meet in the Assembly as a kind of United Nations. Consensus is difficult, as there are varying cultural views, so things don't generally happen on a global scale. Within each house are numerous clans who choose their leaders their own ways. The clans are made up of a group of families. Families consist of a sire and their vassals. Families can range from just a few members to many, as the vassals of vassals are considered part of the family as well. These units often look a lot like monarchies, as the will of the sire directs that of the vassals. In clans, however, since sires must come together, there is usually more discussion, though it can still be rather dogmatic. Usually, by the combining of clans into houses, the approach resembles the democratic. Families and particularly clans tend to take care of justice in their local areas, as waiting for the Assembly to act can take a long time, if it ever does anything.

A full vampire is about four times as strong as a human of their body's age and physical type. Being half-blooded, Alex is about twice as strong as a moderately fit nineteen-year-old girl would normally be. She can cut through bone with a hard stroke without much effort and stab or shoot and arrow through the same. She could easily move a solid table of moderate weight but would struggle with, say, a full sized couch. Her speed, likewise, is doubled, as is her stamina. However, all increases are in effect only during non-daylight hours.

Alex's mental powers are pretty firmly nullified by Luceti's power cap. Even at 100%, the most they tend to allow on a day to day basis is that, after the sun goes down, people are less inclined to question her little lies or willing to agree to something she wants that isn't an imposition to them. It's a very subtle influence that, even at 100%, will be entirely opt-in with a permissions post in the works for if she's accepted into Luceti. The only exception to the "almost non-existent" powers would be if she made a vassal, where her desires would influence their actions. It is not direct control, more like subliminal messaging pushing them toward a certain end, though it can be taken to too little or too great an extent depending on the vassal's personality. The likelihood of her ever making a vassal is extremely low, and I am willing to entirely nix that ability upon bringing her to Luceti, if it would be preferable.

You're accepted, have some delicious copypasta.
