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.

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: Cayla was born into a relatively well off family in a mid-sized city in Ontario, Canada. She was the only child of Jonathan and Natsumi Reed. Her mother was a first-generation Japanese-Canadian. Both her parents worked, her mother as a 4th grade teacher, her father as an actuary. She was given a lot of opportunities to try new things, and fell in love with ballet and gymnastics at the age of five. She continued in these activities for the rest of her life. When she was eight, she also started in self defense lessons. Both her ballet teacher and her karate instructor praised her high kicks.

Cayla was raised doing what she loved. She enjoyed ballet, gymnastics, and karate, but also loved spending time with her family. Her mother taught her a lot about japanese culture and cooking, which affected her tastes in food and art for the rest of her life. Cayla was also a remarkably intelligent child. She learned how to read at age three, and grew up with that love of reading. She also enjoys music, though she has no talent at making it.

When Cayla was 11, tragedy struck her family. Her father's younger sister, "odd" aunt Samantha was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Although Cayla was too young to understand what was going on at the time, she did understand that things would get harder for her family. Though times were tense, Cayla's aunt did manage her condition well with the help of her family. Even Cayla had to help out, occasionally, and she gained an understanding of the condition as she got older.

When Cayla started high school, she was relatively outgoing. She maintained an A- average, and made a lot of friends, though was not particularly close to any of them. As she continued though, her stress levels increased and she began to distance herself from her friends. Though she was asked out many times, her relationships never lasted or had any meaning. As the years passed, she lost a lot of her friends and fell off the social radar. By graduation, she was all but an outcast.

Cayla attended Windsor University on several scholarships, including some related to her racial heritage and one from the school itself that covered tuition. In university, Cayla pursued a degree in teaching, with two minors minor in japanese culture and movement. She was still an exceptional student, and also took classes on many subjects unrelated to her degree. However, her social condition continued to deteriorate. She became obsessive, reading into things far deeper than was warranted and making judgments based on completely irrelevant points. She retracted from society; her grades fell, and she became delusional. Recognizing that something was wrong, her parent's staged an intervention. They talked to her about what happened to her aunt, what they had seen happening in her... It was difficult to convince her that anything was wrong, but eventually she did see a psychiatrist who diagnosed her with Paranoid Schizophrenia.

Although Cayla is Schizophrenic, she does not have it as bad as some. She does not hallucinate, but can become delusional. This can happen at any time, but stress and anxiety are likely to trigger it. She controls her condition with atypical antipsychotics; the side effects, while normally severe, are less so for her. She exercises too much for weight gain or high blood pressure to be all that much of an issue. However, she does suffer from one side effect: Restlessness. She can't sit still for long periods of time. She also shows signs of decreased emotions due to the drug. Fortunately, she did manage to graduate college and make a few friends. She participates in support groups occasionally, but is not the most interactive person there.

The headphones were something she bought in college. She uses them to focus. They help her combat her restlessness.

Cayla is more or less a functioning member of society. She still enjoys reading, and works at a library until she can find a better job, although she does enjoy her current occupation. She also does dance recitals and occasionally assists at karate demos. She is still supported by her parents, though, and has to constantly watch out for new side effects of her drug usage.
