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!

But, that is just the overview of the old cat. Jubei never lived a very fruitful life as a young cat, living in a world that did not think well of his kind. It is implied more than a few times in the game that there is a sort of bigotry toward beastkin, which is what Jubei is classified as being an animal with human like attributes. Beastkin are considered second-class creatures in comparison to humans and are generally looked down upon with some disdain. This hasn’t changed much in the past hundred years, as the game shows with another beastkin being discriminated against frequently, but it doesn’t quite affect Jubei personally. There are more things for him to be upset about than the opinions of others, particularly for someone who has been through as much strife as he has. Beastkin are said to be facing extinction after the Black Beast wiped many of them out, including Jubei’s family and friends, and that alone puts many things into perspective for the old cat. Thus he tries to live a life full of optimism and without hatred or ire, even when things seem bleak, because he knows that is the way his family would want it. Not to look down on others, even if they look down on him, but to treat people with respect and kindness and try to make them smile as well.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Jubei is a pushover. Far from it – he can be very tough on people when he has to be. He treats Ragna with a healthy dose of tough love, putting him through grueling challenges since boyhood in order to make him into the fighter he is today. Falling into the ‘mentor’ role in the story, Jubei tries to leave those he encounters with a positive message and a lesson. That isn’t to say he’s going to mentor anyone he meets, but he certainly won’t abandon someone in need. Carefree for the most part, when it’s time to get serious he can bring out the claws (literally and metaphorically) and teach people how to behave in front of their elders. You don’t want to see him angry either – he’s referred to multiple times being the strongest creature in the entire world and he’s more or less a complete normal. No super powers, not an immortal and at most an advanced weapon, which he rarely even pulls out to use at its full potential. When the final boss and main villain even has trouble fighting him one on one, it sure isn’t a laughing matter. Still he does understand his limits and knows that he’s getting too old to fight against the growing powers of insanity in the Blazblue world, such as Terumi’s growing immortal powers and even the mysterious Phantom’s magic.

On the sillier side, Jubei is a cat. And, as a cat, he has cat like urges. He has a secret fondness for catnip for instance, and even seems to have a penchant from crawling in the darkness and in trees. For the most part he can keep these things under wrap and no one would be wiser, but it isn’t always easy. He also can let out quite a nasty look, almost akin to a snarl, whenever Terumi is involved in something that is going down.
In short he is a “live life one day at a time” kind of cat and has a heart for good and looks for things to be optimistic about, while keeping a clear and level minded head and carefully observing any sort of situation he finds himself wrapped in. A believer in second chances, who doesn’t seem as gruff as fellow heroes Hakumen or Valkenhayn, always keeps a good attitude even to the bleakest situations. He constantly looks out for others and would even interfere in a situation unrelated to him, like stopping Iron Tager from killing Litchi, if he felt that the other person needed to be helped and yet would leave them to make their own decisions about their life after giving them his advice. If you cross him however then get ready to feel pain. They don't call him the strongest creature in the world for nothing.

Physical: Jubei is considered to be one of the strongest characters in Blazblue physically, regardless of his height, age, or overall age. We never see him actually fighting and he isn’t a playable character, but much of his strength can be assumed through what we know of his past. Hundreds of years ago, a monster threatening to destroy the world called the Black Beast existed and was wreaking havoc without discrimination, was fought against by Six Heroes of legend that brought it to an end. Jubei was one of these heroes, though not the leader, and is still regarded as a symbol of strength. Whether he is the strongest hero is debatable, but both Hakumen and Terumi refer to him as such and the two were part of the group that fought against the Beast with him. In this category he is considered to be a general Badass Normal, with no real special super powers and only the trained strength his race provides (beastkin are said to be physically stronger than the average human) honed for over decades.
Mental: Even with old age, Jubei is sharp and quick minded when he has to be. He can easily analyze a situation and map out a strategy quickly, acting mainly on his instincts and coordinating with his knowledge to reach a desirable solution. He’s more street smart than book smart, knowing when the right time to get involved is and trying to see how an enemy fights before confronting them head on.
Emotional: This cat is one smooth operator when it comes to dealing with people around him. He is very casual and friendly, doing his best to make others optimistic with his own uplifting attitude, but knows when it’s time to be realistic as well. His age and role in the story reflects on this, as he acts as a sort of wise monk to others. Kind and well-meaning, yet mischievous when he needs to be, Jubei can easily get along with anyone he meets if they are receptive toward him.
Weaknesses:
Physical: While he is considered the strongest creature on his planet, Jubei admits that he is getting old and losing some of his spark. What he says about it can be a double-edged sword, where he may try and lead someone into a false sense of security or sometimes genuinely means it. He isn’t immortal and knows he isn’t going to live forever, even with his expanded life span thanks to the grace of his species. When going against opponents who use magic, for instance, he appears to be at quite the disadvantage and is easily trumped by the mysterious Phantom working for Terumi.
Mental: Following along the ‘street smart’ line from the strength portion, Jubei is not as eloquent or well-versed as his fellow heroes. That isn’t to say he isn’t smart just because of his casual style of speaking to others, but he has been a nomad for the majority of his life since the Black Beast came along. Even he does not always have as full a grasp of a situation as he desires, in comparison to someone like Rachel, and perhaps looks out for others over himself too often. He gets nearly killed by Phantom and still finds time to send a message to Hakumen and even meet Jin before the other runs off to Ragna. Not because he has time, but because he cares too damn much to not. And the entire reason he even gets into a fight with Phantom is because he stopped the woman from trying to destroy Lambda-11, the Murakumo unit with the soul of the 13th unit that was the other half of the Black Beast. Suffice to say, Jubei cares sometimes too much and simply doesn’t let it show to keep others and himself safe.
Emotional: Though normally composed and cheerful, the cat has his own share of emotional rages. Anytime Terumi is mentioned he suddenly becomes very serious and is prone to fits of anger when the man begins to mock his deceased lover Nine, which the former murdered after the Black Beast was destroyed, or causes trouble in general. His anger issues are not as profound as Hakumen’s for example, but they still exist and even he can lash out if not contained.

Ah, nothin’ like another mess of trouble to keep you up and moving. [Says a gruff 'man' off camera.] I was a little busy, but I won’t complain too much. The air is nice and crisp and it's been a while since I've seen a real nice looking forest and not just some meadow with trees around it! I'll enjoy it while I can. The animals wandering around also look friendly. One of them squirrels started talkin’ to me for a bit, but I think I scared it off. Never thought I'd make myself look tough without trying.
[He makes a raspy laugh and then picks up the journal. The camera finally catches a picture of him – a black and white furred cat, wearing a yellow poncho-esque cloak. He doesn't seem to realize there is even a camera yet, but who knows with how he's moving the journal to specifically focus on himself.]
Puttin' wings on me is pretty crazy. I heard of "when pigs fly" but cats? I look like a circus freak with these things. They're also uncomfortable under my robes. But I don’t think I can tear 'em off if I even could, from what you folks are sayin' over this device.
[For a moment he thinks how a certain pink cat would like to analyze a book like this, but he quickly lets that thought slide.]
Hey I hear a lot of new folk like me confused. How about we chat with one another and be out of our wits together.
Third Person:
He was really thankful for the large amount of trees. His stature makes it easy to hide in shadows and blend into surroundings if he needs to. The large amount of trees, least in comparison to his home world, made this a lot easier. Navigating them was no trouble, as he hopped from one to another with ease, as the moon hung over the night sky. Jubei never was one to be an early sleeper and yet he could always tell what time it was back home by just looking around the night sky. In here, it was much different. He would have to get use to it, among other things. Wings, naturally, along with a healthier planet and less people. The people were interesting enough.
And yet, just as he thought that, he could hear the sounds of something crashing in the forests. The curious cat immediately perked his ears and began leaping toward the source. It was not long before he came across a small pack of drones, carrying off someone he did not recognize deeper into the woods. Another kidnapping. Jubei frowned and slowly continued to follow the drones as best as he could without giving away his location. It was not to stop them, but to get a better look at the stranger they were hauling away. As soon as he perched between a couple trees and caught the right angle, he was able to see who they were dragging away.
And, closing his eyes, he committed that person to memory. They were going to need help whenever they returned. There was nothing he could do for them, as horrible as it was for him to admit it, but he would at least help them. Once he was sure he could recall the features of the prisoner, Jubei jumped away in the opposite direction through the trees. It was just another night, really.
