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!
Chun Li | Street Fighter | reserved Part 2
A note about continuity: Street Fighter has a very, very convoluted storyline that has been subject to many retcons over the years. In my head, the timeline of the character is: Street Fighter Legends: Chun Li (Comic) Street Fighter Alpha series (Games) Udon’s Street Fighter 2 (Comic) Street Fighter 2 (Game) Super Street Fighter IV (Game). Moreover, in my head the true ending to Street Fighter 2 is Guile’s ending. Capcom never stated a canon victor, but all of the Street Fighter IV storylines seem to point to Guile having won the tournament, though Bison was killed by Akuma no matter the ending.
Chun-Li was born in Hong Kong during the British occupation. Her father was an officer in the Hong Kong police force, and was heavily involved in the anti-organized crime unit. When she was very young, her mother passed away, and while it is never implicitly stated it is implied that it was a targeted assassination by the Hong Kong mafia. Chun-Li’s father was also a well known master of wushu, Chinese martial arts. When she was around 5 years old, Chun-Li saw her father practicing forms and decided that she wanted to learn martial arts.
Her father accepted her as a student, and taught her a great deal before sending her to various other teachers for training. The most notable and influential of these tutors was her father’s friend, Gen. Gen was an extremely skilled, deadly martial artist known and feared throughout the criminal world. He made a living as an assassin, and shared with Chun-Li many of the secrets of his art. However, he never intended for her to know about his criminal activities. While the two were training one day, Gen and Chun-Li were attacked by a ninja of unknown origin. In a fit of rage, Gen killed the ninja in cold blood and in the process robbing the 10 year old Chun-Li of her innocence. After that day, the elderly assassin told her to never associate with him again, and that he could never share the final (and lethal) secrets of his style with her.
Chun-Li’s teenage development remains largely unknown, though several comics state that she went to a private high school and made friends with a girl named Po-Lin. The two developed an intense rivalry that carried on until well after college. Chun-Li attended Hong Kong University and shortly after graduation moved on to the Hong Kong Police Academy. She and Po-Lin graduated with high honors, receiving commendations from the Academy for shooting, unarmed combat ability, riot control, and detective work.
Two years after graduating from the Academy, Chun-Li and Po-Lin were put onto the Shadaloo Task Force, a unit investigating the criminal organization run by M. Bison. They spent some time with absolutely zero leads, until finally they received a call regarding a Shadaloo agent named Sagat. He had killed local dojo owner Go Hibiki, and was in the process of absconding with a series of priceless Chinese artifacts from the Hong Kong National Museum. Chun-Li, Po-Lin, and her father tracked down and engaged the Shadaloo thugs, apprehending all but Sagat. Sagat wounded Chun-Li’s father and Po-Lin and made off in a submarine.
Only a few months later while he was on the verge of locating the Shadaloo main base, Chun-Li’s father was abducted by Agent Killer Bee. Killer Bee, later known as Cammy, eventually killed him on orders from M. Bison. This was a major turning point in Chun-Li’s life, causing her to reevaluate her position on many things.
Swearing revenge, Chun-Li dedicated herself towards ending Shadaloo and putting Bison behind bars. To this end she was transferred to Interpol and began to make contact with other investigators working on the case, most notably Guile of the United States Airforce. Guile’s best friend, Charlie Nash had disappeared while working the same case, a few months after initiating contact with Chun Li, and the duo turned their attention towards locating Charlie as a possible link to Shadaloo. Shortly after they teamed up, the two discovered that Bison was actively attempting to capture fighters from around the world, and that his latest target was a talented young martial artist named Ryu. They tracked Ryu to Japan, following him to a remote mountain dojo whereupon they were attacked by Shadaloo agent “Shadow.” In the brawl that followed, “Shadow” managed to subdue Guile, but was subsequently defeated by Chun-Li. It was then that they learned a terrible truth: “Shadow” was Charlie, who had been brainwashed by Bison’s insidious “Psycho Drive.” The repeated blows to the head, as well as Guile’s presence managed to snap Charlie out of the brainwashing and they headed up the mountain in search of Ryu. Halfway up the mountain, they were attacked by yet another Shadaloo agent, M. Bison himself. Bison was soundly defeated by Charlie, who performed his signature move “Somersault Justice” and brought the mountain down on both himself and Bison. Guile and Chun-Li left, thinking it was all over.
A few weeks later, Chun-Li reported in to an Interpol agency, where she spotted MI6 agent Cammy (AKA Killer Bee). Attacking, thinking mainly that she was an undercover agent, Chun-Li thrashed Cammy until the remainder of the MI6 agents in the building broke up the fight. Cammy had lost her memory, recovering from Shadaloo brainwashing herself, and so Chun-Li forgave her for the murder of her father, saying only that “It wasn’t her, it was Bison.”
Her quest to end the Shadaloo organization took Chun-Li back to Hong Kong, where she teamed up with her old master Gen and the action movie star Fei-Long to take out a pair of Shadaloo agents posing as movie directors. Shortly after this incident, she learned that through some dark means, M. Bison had revived from the dead.
A short while later, she received a letter from Shadaloo, inviting her to participate in the Street Fighter tournament, a martial arts tournament that Bison was hosting. She entered, along with Guile, Ryu, Cammy, and many others who had been wronged by Bison. Each fighter had their own reasons for participating, but in the end it was Guile who earned the right to challenge Bison and later defeating him. At Chun-Li’s urging, the soldier spared Bison’s life, planning on giving him over to the authorities for a proper trial. “Better to not become a man like him,” she said. However, another fighter had plans for Bison: Akuma. Akuma was a powerful and deadly martial artist who had so fully dedicated himself to fighting that he had become something akin to a demon. When Bison was defeated, Akuma snatched out his soul and sent it to hell to await judgment, breaking Bison’s ability to resurrect from the dead.
A few years later, Chun-Li had all but quashed Shadaloo, which had begun to crumble without Bison’s leadership. Rumors began to fly, however, about another criminal organization that had risen to fill in the void: S.I.N. While investigating with her old friend Guile, as well as Ryu and his friends Ken Masters and Sakura Kasugano, Chun-Li was attacked by S.I.N. Agent Juri Han. Yuri, her body altered by S.I.N. initially defeated Chun-Li, but this only fueled Chun-Li’s desire to unravel the mystery of S.I.N. After more investigation, she was again confronted by Juri, and managed to subdue the Korean fighter. Han escaped police custody while Chun-Li entered the main S.I.N. HQ, intent on destroying the sinister BLECE devise that had so altered Yuri.
