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.

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!

History: Once upon a time, the world's highest religious leader, Fon Master Ion, died. Nobody tried to save him, of course, partly because no-one knew he was dying and, more importantly, because his death had already been foretold. But Ion was an incredibly useful person to have, and so before he died seven replicas of Fon Master Ion were created. All but the seventh were supposed to be discarded as failures, and indeed they were all thrown into Mt. Zaleho, a volcano, like some sort of burnable trash. But there were two survivors: one was saved by the Commandant Van, and became the God General Sync. The other somehow survived long enough to be found by the high priest, Grand Maestro Mohs, when he came by months later. He was kept safe by Mohs then, as a backup in the event that the 'successful' replica died. Which he did.

After being used by a now-insane Mohs (who had turned into a monster) and his God General companions to read the magical Score that only the now-dead Ion and his replicas had the power to read, the not-so-little boy was abandoned. Luckily, the seventh replica's former guardian (and her friends) were there at the time; she named him Florian and put him in the care of the church where the replica and original before him had lived. Sadly he didn't get along too well at first, until they gave him to Anise's parents to watch over. He got along very well with the two, and cheerfully passed the days waiting for the day his friends could come visit again.
Personality: This particular Ion replica has the mentality of a two-year-old stuck in a fourteen-year-old body. Which is exactly what he is. He's energetic and curious, the kind of kid who actively tries to learn about the world around him. When Anise and the gang come to vist him in Daath, he's already raving about stew (which he's only read about) and attempting to play tag (though he gets it mixed up with hide-and-seek).

He's emotionally somewhat vulnerable, too--seeing the way people look at him in Daath (because he looks like Ion) scares him, and when he first entered the church he was hiding behind Anise in fear of all the unfamiliar people and things around him. Despite his wariness, he attaches himself too easily to people; he's easily swayed by a bit of kindness and a friendly voice, and is already noticeably attached to the team the first time they visit him in-game, cheerfully embracing the idea of sleeping together with them and confiding that they're the only ones who don't look at him strangely, which may be a large part of the reason he's so attached to them. With this fondness also comes a cheerful willingness to help out with whatever is asked of him, sometimes even at the cost of personal sacrifice. For example, he gives up a forbidden verse stone, the only memento he has of Mohs and his fellow replicas, for the stated reason that "You come to play with me." Jade, afterwards, says "It was precisely because of his innocence that I expected him to give me the stone unquestioningly if I spoke like that." 'That' referring to his telling Florian he didn't have to force himself to give it up for their sake.

He's also obscenely attached to his name. He's proud of it; it's his pride and joy. Sure he just got it last month or something, but he's Florian and nothing anyone can say can change his mind, beyond brainwashing or the like.
Abilities/Strengths: Florian is technically able to use fonic artes, and is technically a seventh fonist, the rarest of all kinds of fonists. This isn't much of an ability though, as his body isn't strong enough to keep up spells for very long. He's got very good survival instincts though, as can be evidenced from his surviving in a volcano for who knows how long.

Strengths: Florian has no particular physical strengths. That's why he was thrown in Mt. Zaleho. He's technically still able to learn/use Fonic Artes though, even if he can't use them much or often. Of course, physical strength is something anyone can gain with enough exercise, and he's energetic enough to probably reach Sync levels of strength if he tried. Mentally, the only real strengths he can be said to have are his kindness and strength of mind. Despite the terrible things he's gone through, he's able to put on a smile and laugh and play with people, and is still willing to trust almost anyone. Even Mohs is apparently not a bad memory for him, as he has no qualms with talking about him to Anise and the gang.

Weaknesses: He's physically rather weak, part of the reason why he was thrown into Mt. Zaleho; it's a miracle he survived as long as he did. He's gullible and naive as well, his innocence making him incredibly easy to trick. Basically - he's a two-year-old child with the language abilities of a 14-year-old. He barely understands the meanings of the words he knows beyond the basic dictionary definition. Everything he sees is new to him and--that might possibly be a strength, in some ways, but really he's just plain ignorant in a lot of things.

Samples (ALL samples must be set in Luceti-verse.)

First Person: Hey hey everybody, can you really hear me talk with this? If it's true then that's great, because I won't have to wait for people to visit anymore. But I'm not at Daath anyway, so I guess that doesn't really matter anymore, does it?...I'd like it if somebody I know was here though. Do you think Anise has one of these things too? Then I could talk to her, even if I can't see her! I'd like that.

--This place is really pretty though! And nobody looks at me strangely. Though everybody having wings is kind of strange too...[He trails off for a moment, before speaking up again.] I like being me though, because I'm Florian. Anise said so. What's everybody else's name? You've all got names too, right? I'd like to know.

Third Person: Florian was not sure what to do. He could clearly remember being with Pamela just a moment ago, helping out with chores and attempting to get her to play a game or two. But if he hadn't been dreaming that, then...

...Where was this?

He'd woken up in the snow, cold and sore and apparently equipped with wings. The wings weren't much of a consolation though, in the face of things. No, this sudden displacement was worrying for someone barely used to home. Was Pamela here too, somewhere? Or someone else he knew? He hugged himself out of a combination of both cold and worry, looking around for a familiar face as he stood.

"Hello? Oliver? Pamela? Anybody?.....Anise..?"

The last name was said with an extra tinge of hope. This definitely wasn't Daath, Daath wasn't this cold, so maybe he'd have a chance of finding Anise! It was a strange hope, maybe, but the idea spurred him to take the first step forward, barefoot through the snowy forest. The sudden change of clothes didn't bother him, really - he hadn't really worn anything in Mt Zaleho either, and it wasn't as if Mohs had given him anything other than that sackcloth dress of sorts. If it weren't for the cold, he might even have thought he felt freer like this. Less trappings, less tights--

But it was really cold here, wasn't it? Cold and quiet and empty. Maybe if he walked far enough he'd find Anise and her friends. Maybe he'd find a house with nice warm blankets and Pamela in it.

...Maybe he'd died without noticing, and this was where all those other boys had gone. A wave of sadness passed over him at the thought; Anise might cry if she came home and found out he'd faded away, wouldn't she? That wouldn't be good at all.

Florian made to shake the thought out of his head, shivered instead, and began to wonder whether he could find food beneath the snow.
