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.
FANDOM CHARACTERS
Confused? HERE is a quick explanation of how to fill out our fandom applications.
ORIGINAL CHARACTERS
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!

Arietta the Wild | Tales of the Abyss | Reserved
Arietta is a girl that one could consider both mature, and at the same time still childish.
Thanks to her circumstances, Arietta is very familiar with death. Before she was even old enough to speak, there was a tidal wave that swept her original home and killed her entire family. She was subsequently taken in by ligers, omnivores who are particularly carnivorous when young. She spent several years growing up in an environment where killing was a natural part of surviving. Her attitude towards survival and death was heavily shaped by this period of her life. Unlike one would expect of her age, she doesn’t shy away from the idea of killing. Despite being spared by the party in more than one situation, she still threatens to kill them as retribution for killing her “mommy”, the liger queen, many times. She’s also directly responsible for a rather high body count, having ordered her monsters to kill all the soldiers on the Tartarus.
One of Arietta’s strongest attributes is her loyalty. Once she has decided to follow someone, she’ll fight even to her own death. Her strongest loyalty is to the original Fon Master Ion, who rescued her from her loneliness. While it’s never fully explained what happened, the original Ion was the one who brought Arietta back into human society and taught her how to speak the human language. As a result, Arietta became fiercely attached to Ion, going so far as to throw herself directly in harm’s way to protect him. Despite being told by Ion that she would be discarded if she ever became weak, she remained by his side until soon before he died, at which point she was separated by Van to shield her from the truth. This loyalty was then transferred to Van, though she never discards her loyalty to Ion, and in fact pleads with his replica to come to her side every chance she gets, unaware that he is actually a different person.
Arietta rarely ever decides things for herself, usually opting to wait in the background and do as she’s told. She is perfectly content with following orders as long as they don’t go against something she believes strongly in. The only glimpse of this willingness we see when she confronts Legretta, which she does because she believes Legretta is going against Van’s wishes to not kill “Ion”. This is the only time we see where she directly disobeys an order from someone on her own side, and it’s in order to protect the person she’s most loyal to. Despite her desire to be with Ion, however, she repeatedly listens to him when he tells her to cooperate, showing that even her strong feelings for him don’t take priority over orders she’s simply unhappy with. It’s because of Ion that Arietta is finally moved to decide on something for herself: challenging Anise to a duel over Ion’s death. She sticks to her loyalties, but beyond that, Arietta doesn’t have a strong will of her own. All of her greatest emotions are in fact formed around these loyalties: her hatred of Anise stems from her love of Ion and how she blames Anise for her own loss of the position of Fon Master Guardian, and her anger at the party is for them killing the liger queen.
From her speech, it’s easy to guess Arietta is younger than she actually is. Though she seems to have no problem understanding others, her own speech is a bit simple. This is likely due to her not learning human language until later on in life, possibly as late as age 9. She also isn’t skilled at hiding her emotions. When she’s sad, she gets upset, and when she’s happy, she shows it. Her way of thinking is uncomplicated, and she believes strongly in things like an eye for an eye. She isn’t one to seek diplomatic resolution, and all of the tactical operations she’s a part of are under someone else’s orders. The fact that she repeatedly threatens to kill the party for what they’ve done is proof of this: she doesn’t really know of any other way to give them retribution.
One of Arietta’s greatest fears is loneliness. She’s almost never by herself, constantly surrounded by monsters or other people. She’s in fact the only God General who never fights the party alone (aside from Dist, who never fights the party at all). The reason Arietta became so attached to Ion in the first place is because he rescued her from loneliness after almost all of her liger family died, and she’s loyal to Van because he was going to revive the Isle of Feres and give her back her original home. Even when Van brings Ion to her for the first time, she’s shown to be clutching the skull of her “sister”. With the rest of the ligers gone, she still clings to the skull as a companion, as if her “sister” were still there to keep her company and protect her.
Strengths:
Physical: Arietta is able to use magic, specializing in support spells but also able to use offensive magic. While she is not very strong, she’s presumably tough enough to have survived in the wild for many years. She’s able to communicate with and understand monsters from Auldrant.
Mental: Arietta doesn’t give up if her mind is set on something, even if she has setbacks along the way, as is shown by her insistence that the party will pay for the liger queen’s death up until her own demise. She’s extremely loyal once she’s been won over.
Emotional: Because of her harsh past, Arietta doesn’t have a problem moving forwards after loss. She’s able to put others ahead of herself without a second thought if she’s loyal to them, and is very protective of those she cares about.
Weaknesses:
Physical: Arietta does not have any particular areas where she excels, and is in fact reasonably fragile once she’s under attack.
Mental: She’s stubborn and can be rather childish. Arietta doesn’t lie very well, if at all, and she has a somewhat simplistic way of thinking.
Emotional: Arietta holds grudges, and lashes out when pushed too far. Despite being able to move forwards, she isn’t very good at letting the past go, and this can in turn torment her and possibly others.
Samples (ALL samples must be set in Luceti-verse.)
First Person:
Huh?! Where is this?! What happened to my friends?! We were supposed to head back to Feres! Where did they go?!
[ She shifts and catches one of her wings on a bush. ]
Ow! A... wing? Where did this come from? I thought only monsters had wings...
... That doesn’t matter right now. I have to find out where my friends are! If we’re not on Feres, we must have been attacked. I need to make sure they’re okay. Anyone who hurts my friends will pay!
Third Person:
She’d been walking for too long already.
It was too cold out. Even the woods had never gotten this cold. It didn’t snow much where she’d grown up, and by the time she’d been to Mt. Roneal, she’d been given proper clothes. The thin dress she wore wasn’t enough to keep her warm, and without anyone around, she was soon far too cold.
Still, Arietta stumbled on, trying to find a monster, any monster, to talk to. She’d seen a few small ones around, but none of them would talk to her as much as the others she knew. She wondered if they could still smell the scent of her hraesvelgr. That might be scaring them. But if that was true, why weren’t any of the larger ones coming out?
What had happened to her friends? Why weren’t they here? Had they been hurt? The longer she walked, the more frightened she became. No one was here. What had gone wrong? She’d gone between Daath and Feres plenty of times, and she couldn’t even remember what had happened. Despite the snow on the ground this didn’t seem like Mt. Roneal, and besides there weren’t any of the usual monsters.
All she wanted right now was to get home, back to her island. It still hurt from when she fought Legretta. She had to get home to recover, and then she’d tell Largo about the duel. When she finally fought Anise and the others, she had to be in her best condition. For the sake of avenging Ion...
Anise had... Anise had killed him! How could she?! If Arietta had still been Fon Master Guardian, none of this would have happened! Ion would have kept helping Van, he never would have sided with her enemies, and everything would have gone fine. That’s what the duel was for. To take revenge for all the things Anise had done. Anise was so stupid. She’d messed everything up.
Maybe Arietta being lost had been Anise’s fault, too.
