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!

Unfortunately, he may also be too polite. Shinji tends to say yes to everything and always does exactly what he’s told. After his first experience piloting the Eva, everyone assumed that he wouldn’t be piloting again because of such a traumatic incident (he had never piloted before, so he didn’t know what he was doing—he even ends up passing out from the pain), but when he was asked, he said he’d do it again. Ritsuko suggests that it’s probably just what he’s used to. The manga describes Shinji as a fatalist—he accepts whatever happens because that’s “just the way things are,” that’s how he’s always lived. And yet, even later, Shinji admitted that he had no idea why he agreed to pilot the thing again. Aside from his habit of accepting everything, he also tends to avoid conflict. In the anime, Asuka points out how often Shinji apologizes for things, even for things he hasn’t done. She thinks he’s spineless, and Shinji wouldn’t disagree.

He also really cares about what people think of him. In fact, he cares too much. While approval from his father is the most important, he cares about what others think of him, too. He wants to be noticed and he wants people to treat him well, and if he isn’t, he runs away. After Touji’s death in the manga, for example, Shinji refuses to return to school because he couldn’t face his friends. When Misato yells at him for not following orders, Shinji literally runs away, wandering around the city and even sleeping in the streets overnight. His main motivation is his father’s approval, but people notice him when he pilots the Evangelion—they praise him, they compliment him, and it feels good. This is another reason that he pilots. He pilots because people will like him, they’ll appreciate what he’s doing. At the same time, because Shinji thinks so little of himself, he’ll never be happy with that alone. As long as he thinks he’s worthless, he’ll remind himself that he doesn’t deserve the praise that people give him.

By this point, Shinji’s learning to be a little more honest, both with himself and others. While the other boys are busy fawning over Misato in the anime, Shinji doesn’t hesitate to let them know how much of a slob she actually is. He even tells Misato that it’s no wonder she’s still single by her age when she starts her mornings off with a beer and forgets to cook breakfast for them. He’s received words of praise from his father and realizes that this might be what he wants in life—he even admits this to Asuka when she asks why he pilots the Eva, saying that this might be his reason. Although he used to dislike praise, it felt good when his father told him how well he did. Similarly, while he disliked being around people before, he’s finally making some real friends. He’s a little less closed-off than he is at the start (even if the difference isn’t much), though it probably wouldn’t take anything too big to make him shut the world away again.
