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!

“Hayate’s been through a lot, although you can’t tell at all by looking at him.”

Hayate has terrible parents, really. He wasn’t able to recognize this during his childhood though, which often got him into arguments with Athena until she kicked him out and he came to realize it. Before abandoning him with a huge debt and selling his organs to the yakuza (which disgusted even them, but they took up his parents’ offer anyway), they forced him into work at a young age, most of which was rather shady. His parents spent all of their money and savings gambling to “invest in their dreams,” leaving Hayate to make up for the income loss by lying about his age and taking on various jobs. As shown in the beginning of the series, he lost his job after his boss found out about his age, and by his parents, no less. On top of that, they ruined his education until he became Nagi’s butler and was able to attend school again. He was even blamed for stealing lunch money from his classmates when it was actually his parents who did it. Absolutely no one trusted Hayate because of his parents. Neighbors, classmates, teachers… no one. It had even gotten to the point where he truly believed—and perhaps even wished—he was going to die. It wasn’t until Athena found and cared for him that he was able to pick himself back up (and only to fall once again for some time due to the huge fight he had with her). Despite all of this, he manages to keep a smile on his face as if nothing is wrong, making characters like Hinagiku unable to tell that he has such a harsh background unless they are told that. And although he may not show it, he does get upset rather easily. (And apparently, he actually concentrates better when he’s like that.)

Piggybacking on that, he can be pretty optimistic at times. When Hinagiku finds out about his past and he finds out about hers, she questions whether or not there was a reason their parents had abandoned them. Hayate’s response was: “There may have been a reason, or there may not have been one. We may seem really unfortunate to others, and we may carry a deep wound in our hearts. But where we stand now isn’t that bad, is it?” Their pasts and wounds don’t really matter to him. To him, what’s important is where they are at the present, and maybe even where they will eventually go.

Unfortunately for him, he’s incredibly feminine-looking. Between that and the fact that Nagi and Maria enjoy making him crossdress, he can really confuse people sometimes. Aside from the fact that nearly the entire female cast in the series has some sort of crush for him, his feminine-look (and maybe even personality) can get even men (and tigers) to fall for his “alter ego” and ultimately in love with him, whether they know it’s him or not. His moe moments and ability to change his voice and sound exactly like a girl don’t help his case at all.

Hayate is very easily moved, as well as embarrassed. He’s definitely not a man who’s afraid to cry, either. For example, he did so after finding out that Maria had infiltrated the school just to check up on him because she was worried about him. Being the neglected child that he was, he really hadn’t ever had someone do something like that for him before, so he was really touched by it. As far as being embarrassed goes, pretty much the entire series is a good example of that…!

Adding on to that, he can be rather innocent and slow about some things. At his school, he has even been dubbed as the most innocent student there. He blushes furiously upon seeing a porn magazine, and while staying with Hinagiku after being kicked out of the mansion by Nagi, Hinagiku suggested that they take a bath together (or so he thought). Hayate’s reaction wasn’t even coherent. It just came out as “HUWAH UWAH BUWAH UWAH BWAAAAAAAH” and consisted of all the flailing. There was also a time where he and Nagi were alone in a hotel room and on a bed together, and she was freaking out. Of course, he didn’t see anything that was wrong with this. Though, that could also just be because she is a lot younger than him, so he doesn’t see her in a way that could get him flustered in a situation like that (someone in the cast had even once suggested that Hayate doesn’t really see Nagi as a grown woman). Had it been someone like Maria, Hinagiku, or even Ayumu (especially later in the series), the situation would have probably played out a bit differently, whether it be through constant blushing and flailing, or even… not-so-innocent thoughts.
