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!

Current Characters at Luceti: Azusa Miura,
Precis F. Neumann,
Character profile / Personality
Name: Mieu
Fandom: Tales of the Abyss
Gender: Male
Age: Mieu is a young cheagle, probably no more than a year or two old (plus the duration of their journey)
Time Period: Pre-Epilogue
Wing Color: Cream, with green tips!
History: Here!
Personality:
Mieu, at his core, is a very simple creature. He likes it when things are happy and when he’s with his friends. He doesn’t like it when people are fighting, people are getting hurt, or there’s lots of danger. He likes tasty food and doesn’t like it when monsters try to eat him. As a young Cheagle, he still has a lot of growing to do, but he’s learned a lot about life on his travels as well. That is Mieu in a nutshell; a simple nice guy with some growing up to do.
So, about being a Cheagle. Mieu is a monster, technically. He’s only gifted the ability to speak via the Sorceror’s Ring he wears around his body. He can talk to monsters, even if he finds most of them kind of scary. He’s from a very simplistic place, though. He has a lot of respect for the Cheagle Elder, and he lived a very simple life up until the time the game started. His community was very loving, even though Mieu was the one responsible for so many deaths in the community due to a fire he caused, and even as he travels apart from it, he holds out heart that he will return one day! He doesn’t really seem to mind when, though. It can be assumed that he spent most of his time prior to the game starting doing what animals do best. Chasing butterflies, sleeping in the sun, eating, and sleeping. It was the life, but now he’s in everyone else’s!
There are a lot of things that Mieu brings to anyone’s experience, though! Mieu is upbeat and positive, and he can always find something to be cheerful about or distract himself with. He loves meeting new people, too. He latches on quickly to other members of the party and finds himself fitting in the group very well, even if everybody is so tall that they tower over him. He’s curious and he asks a lot of questions when he doesn’t understand something, whether it’s about love or how someone is feeling. He just wants people to be okay, especially those that he’s close to.
Mieu, being so involved in everyone’s lives after being exiled from the Cheagle Woods, has formed a number of strong relationships in his life. Obviously, his strongest is with Master! Luke Fon Fabre is his Master, and Mieu loves him a lot. Even though Mieu gets thrown around, punched, insulted, and just very abused for part of the game, Mieu never stops wanting to be by his side. This is partially because Luke gave Mieu the name of “Thing,” something Mieu himself is very proud of, but also because he really respects him. While other party members come and go, Mieu is always with Luke. When every party member leaves, for example, Mieu is the only one who stays by his bedside and waits for him to wake up from his strange coma (Tear does remain behind, but does not wait next to his bed as Mieu does). This is repeated several times throughout the game; if Luke is alone, Mieu is walking along behind him making comments or being told to shut up. They even form a special bond of sorts...at certain points in the game, Luke uses Mieu to fire...well, fire point-blank into enemy’s faces.
He also has a very strong relationship with Tear Grants, who finds him cute, and Fon Master Ion, who is one of the reasons he started the journey. Since all three of them (Tear, Ion, Luke) were at the start of the quest, he’s very close to all of them. Tear especially stands up for him when he is being hurt or discouraged, so he is very much drawn to her as a friend. Luke abuses him, Tear scolds Luke, and Mieu is happy that Tear is thinking of him and usually assures her that it is okay. Ion, on the other hand, is just someone Mieu has a lot of respect for, and he thinks of him as a friend. Ion understands the relationships between Cheagles and Yulia and as a result is very kind to the Cheagle, like Tear, so Mieu is particularly drawn to him as well. At one point in the game, Mieu learns that Luke is going to die because his fonons are splitting apart...and he tells Tear immediately. This is a proof of how strong his relationship with Tear is; while he doesn’t want to tell secrets about Master, he will turn to Tear if something is so wrong that it can’t be fixed or if Luke is in danger. He trusts her.
That isn’t to say that he doesn’t have a relationship with the rest of the party, though. He’s fond of them all, but merely interacts with them less. He can be scared of Jade at times, since Jade leaves the impression of someone who might eat him more than once, but he gets along with Natalia like he does Tear, just to a lesser extent. Being naive and kind of silly, he’s also prone to fun conversations with Anise, since she can be as optimistic and goofy as he is. When his friends are suffering, he wants to console them just as badly as everyone else does. He’s in pain when Natalia’s parentage is in question, it hurts him to see Anise suffering at the hand of Mohs and over Ion’s death...and, well, Jade is Jade. He’s kind of just...Jade. Mieu respects him, and will run away from him if he thinks Jade is going to dissect him.
It’s true that, at times, Mieu can be a coward. He’s scared of things, like when they land in the miasma and he doesn’t know what’s going on, or when particularly dangerous enemies or events are taking place. This is only natural, given his size. Sometimes, someone has to pick him up and carry him, just to get him out of the way fast enough. But as their journey went on, Mieu became more brave. He showed this first when he was able to talk to the Liger Queen, who was very scary! Though, in Keterberg, the night before they go and fight Van Grants, a scene reveals that Mieu is willing to help out no matter what. He’s told to just stay in the item bag like always, but he wants to really feel like he’s helping. He makes it all the way to the final battle despite the scary enemies, just so he can support his Master for as long as he can.
And this is part of Mieu’s journey, too, learning to help people and showing that he can pitch in just like they can. He’s thrilled to learn he can use Mieu Attack to open new paths for them, and using his Mieu Wing ability to get them to higher places. He has a not-so-secret love of being praised (especially by Master!), but that’s not why he helps out, either. He helps out and tries his hardest just to be helpful, to be useful, and because his friends are his friends and he’s on this journey to learn, just like Master is! He’s learning, too, what he can do in the world, and seeing and experiencing things like deserts and oceans.
Even with all of this optimism, love for his friends, and willingness to work and play hard, Mieu has another side to him. As aforementioned, Mieu is an exile for his tribe. A fire he accidentally caused damaged a large part of a Liger’s homeland, so they moved into their woods. Without a food source, they ate several of the Cheagles, and Mieu was the cause of it all. As a result, when Ion, Luke, Tear and Jade came to the Cheagle Woods, Mieu was exiled and became their guide, able to speak the monster’s and human’s language. That was the start of his journey. It’s revealed, though, there are times that he relates to his Master’s own accidental deaths (he destroyed a city, Akzeriuth). He feels guilt over the deaths he inadvertently caused, and like Luke, it will never go away. So just as he’s growing along with all of the characters, he has his own burden to bear, and it’s another reason he works so hard at everything.
Despite all of these things, though, Mieu has another very special thing working against him. Yes, he tries hard. Yes, he has his own burden, and he loves everything. He’s also very much not the brightest person around. It’s mostly because of his age. He doesn’t understand a lot of things; he once relates love to apple gels. While there are all of these country feuds going on in the game, Mieu often pops up in skits to say that he doesn’t really understand or that it sounds really complicated. It can be both a gift and a curse, though; his simple view on life and willingness to fit into every situation makes him more endearing than annoying...most of the time.
That’s who Mieu is. He’s a simple, hard-working little Cheagle who loves his friends. He has the humblest of beginnings, and he has plenty of learning to do. He’ll do anything for Master, but he’ll never leave his side, even if he tells him to. Like most characters in Luceti, he has a past to deal with, but he has friends to overcome it with. He’s brutally honest and doesn’t understand a lot of things...but he’s not bad to have around, honest! Here, let him prove it to you. Mieu...Wiiiiiiings!
Strengths/Weaknesses and Samples
Physical: Mieu is super strong...when he needs to be! He has a number of abilities that come in crazy hand during the game of Tales of the Abyss. His Mieu Fire 2 lets him shoot a small fireball over a pretty large space, and it can light torches, melt ice...it’s pretty hot, apparently! His Mieu Attack is strong enough to break boulders, and his Mieu Wings skill lets him fly into the air while someone is holding him. He also fits into small places and can kind of go unseen...
Emotional: He is very open. Mieu doesn’t see a need to struggle with keeping things to himself, and he’s also usually very optimistic and upbeat by nature. In a way, his mood can help set the mood for the entire party. He might do it unintentionally, but a goofy remark from him is enough to lift spirits. He’s even good for stress relief; just ask Master.
Mental: Mieu is very inquisitive, and he loves to learn. He’s not very smart yet, but he shows a distinct love and excitement for new things. Seeing the ocean for the first time was especially impressive to him.
Weaknesses:
Physical: Aside from his aforementioned skills, Mieu doesn’t have a lot going for him. Being so small, without the use of his Soceror’s Ring he doesn’t have much power to give. He can barely keep up with people at times, slowing down the party in the beginning (much to Master’s annoyance) and he occasionally has to be picked up and carried because he’s just that little. It also probably hurts to talk to him, since he’s so far down on the ground...
Mental: Mieu isn’t the sharpest cookie in the shed. He doesn’t understand love, and as mentioned in his personality section his role in skits is often reduced to “I don’t really get it” and to offer condolences to the other party members or to ask weird questions such as “I don't smell anything. What's it smell like? Apple gels?” when talking about love being in the air.
Emotional: He can get discouraged fairly easily. While it’s true, he’s normally upbeat and happy to be around, being thrown at the ground or yelled at while result in a soft “Miiieeuu....” while he shrinks away to not get in Master’s way (that’s a very important thing). Conversely, one of his emotional strengths is that he bounces back quickly. Also, with his weird questions, Mieu might come across as insensitive rather than honest...the creature doesn’t have the most tact, much like his Master.
Samples (ALL samples must be set in Luceti-verse.)
First Person:
[There’s some soft humming as Mieu opens his journal. In the space behind him, there’s a vending machine. He must be at the battle dome.
It is here that Mieu constructs a filter so weak, Luke sneezing at it would break it.]
[Filtered from Luke fon Fabre // 1%]
Look, everyone! I found apple gels! Don’t they look delicious? If everything is free, then I could have as many as I want, right?
[He moves away from the journal and flies up to look at them more closely. He could be super helpful, getting these for Master!]
They’re super useful and very important, so I can’t eat too many. They’re like medicine. So if Master gets sick again, I can take them to him. They also taste very good!
[He flutters back down and walks over to the journal, tiny hands clinging to the sorceror’s ring around his waist.]
How do I get them out, though? It looks like they’re being held prisoner, mieeeuuu... [He looks back to the vending machine behind him, and then back to the journal.] Do you guys have any ideas? Someone in Luceti must know how to get them out. They aren’t very useful behind this glass wall, right?
Third Person:
It was really cold outside. It reminded Mieu of St. Keterburg, actually, except for maybe a little warmer. Yet, there he stood, right on the doorsteps of his Master’s house, watching people walk by every so often. The snow fell pretty consistently, and he shivered despite the warm fur that he had been gifted with.
“Only a little longer,” he told himself. “Master will be home soon!” He pulled his arms close to his chest and walked in place, trying to make himself just a little bit warmer. He knew that he’d be warmer if he took off the Sorcerer’s Ring, its cold metal rubbing against his stomach with every small step he took, but he couldn’t think of doing that, either! It was his responsibility to watch the house while Master was away, and it was also his responsibility to take care of the Socerer’s Ring! Both were very important jobs.
That didn’t mean they weren’t difficult ones, though. He let out a soft cry of “Mieeeeuuu....” as he slowed, stepping out from his safe perch under the awning to look down each way. Maybe Master and Tear were just around the corner and about to come back! His ears drooped when he realized that they weren’t, so he stepped back to avoid getting his ears covered with snow.
Another few minutes passed, and the shivering started back in even worse than before. It was tempting to just turn around and walk right back in the door, but he vigorously shook his head and tapped his face to keep his attention focused. His Master said to watch the house, so that’s exactly what he was going to do! No one was going to get inside without his permission.
“Mieeeuuuuu! I’m not going to let him down!”
And so Mieu stood, waiting for his Master and friends to return from their secret meeting. If only Mieu had remembered to watch the back door, too; that’s the one that his Master ended up using when he went inside.
