luceti | Applications

Status: CLOSED

A SPECIAL NOTE, PLEASE READ: Due to Luceti entering the end of its plot, officially (DETAILS HERE), applications are open all the time. If we receive a sudden inexplicable spike in apps this might change, but that is unexpected.

Previously played characters can return for the endgame using the basic application at the bottom of the post. We will allow canon-updates of characters using the same application, just label the app appropriately.

PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE APPLYING! Especially the last few, as they establish what characters can or cannot be accepted.

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.

Canon Point: (This is your character’s most recent moment in canon before they arrive in Luceti. Please try to be as specific as possible, providing what chapter, episode, or issue they’re from when possible.) 
Canon Point Explanation: (Please also provide a brief explanation of why you have selected this canon point. It needn’t be a massive justification; we consider this a way for you to ‘show your work’ and show us the careful thought you’ve put into the application. A simple ‘this is the end/most recent point available for my character’s storyline’, for example, would suffice.) 
History: (If you prefer, you may link to an outside source, such as Wikipedia, a pre-existing written biography, or an official site.)

Personality: (Please consider here things such as habits, likes and dislikes, thought patterns, experiences and so on. This section should be fairly detailed!)

Strengths (Provide canon examples and include special powers/abilities as necessary. You may combine sections as needed, but remember to always be thorough.)

Anything else?: (This section is *not* mandatory; however, if there is anything left you would like note that has not been covered in the rest of the application, you may do so here. This is a good place to touch base with us on any specialized items your character may show up with, any pets they may receive early on, or anything else you would like to run by us.)

SAMPLES (ALL SAMPLES MUST BE SET IN THE LUCETIVERSE)

First Person: (Must be ten *complete* sentences or longer. This does *not* include action text, though you may include action as well. Only the spoken dialogue will be counted. If you can, please refrain from giving us a generic arrival post. They make it difficult to judge voice and are one of the most frequent reasons revisions are requested.

Alternatively, we encourage you to instead link to a recent thread or a post from the Training Wings community/Test Drive Meme.

If you feel that a first person sample is daunting because the character is not talkative, you may request an IC Q&A. )

Third Person: (300 words minimum. Remember to write using proper grammar, verb tenses, and paragraphs.)

Confused? HERE is a quick explanation of how to fill out our fandom applications.

Physical Appearance: (Link a picture or provide descriptive text)

World History: (Describe the world where they live. If it’s like our world, describe what’s different, if anything. If they’re from a point in our history, be sure to note when and where. This is also a good opportunity to explore the social pressures, expectations, and assumptions of their setting. For more fantastical worlds, this is where you do your world building.)

Personal History: (Please be thorough! What shaped them into what they are today? What inspired them? Motivated them? What was their childhood like? Or their first love? Obviously, not everyone has the same personal history so use this as an opportunity to tell us about your character’s unique life experience.)

Special Powers/Abilities: (Although the above sections will have touched upon any powers or abilities your character possesses, consider this the place to provide us with an inventory. If a power or an ability does not appear on this app, it will not be available to the character in Luceti without first discussing it with a mod. If your character has no powers or abilities, put N/A.)

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) or Kath (so moe you died) on AIM, or email them at their respective email addresses found in the

luceti profile page or here at the Resource/Link Directory.

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!

RETURNING CHARACTER APPLICATIONS:

As noted above, if you are either:
a) a previous/current player bringing back a character played here before
b) a current player with a current character wanting to canon-update

Here is the short-form application you can use.

RULES FOR RETURNING CHARACTERS:

1) The character must have been played in Luceti BY YOU at some time in the past.
2) The character must not currently be played by anyone else.
3) The application must be accepted by a mod as per usual before the character can ICly return to the game.

If you have questions about this app (it's very much a beta right now, this is the first time we've done this!) please use the contact methods above.

SAMPLES

First Person:
Artemis on the Test Drive Meme

Third Person:
She'd been here a month.

Thirty long days of being in a strange place with strange people and strange technology and strange... well, everything really. Thirty days with no word of her team - ignoring their strange doppelgangers - and no sign of anything changing anytime soon. She goes with the flow of things, but it's hard not to worry. About her teammates, about what might be going on back home. About her mom.

It's sunset and she's perched on the roof of one of the Community houses, watching the people below. It's so much quieter here than Gotham - even that's strange. She misses the sounds of the city, of traffic, of people passing under her. There are days she feels so cut off here, drifting. Without the team, without the League...sometimes without a purpose, it feels like. There's not even crime to fight. Not in the village anyway, although she's been thinking more and more about the missions she keeps hearing about. Something about that seems wrong, though. Fighting for the people keeping them here. Even if sometimes there's no choice, but going out voluntarily? She tries to think what Kaldur would think of that, or Robin, or Wally. She could hear their voices in her head sometimes, if she closed her eyes and focused. Sometimes it makes her feel a little less lonely, but other times it just makes it worse, that wistful feeling of missing them.

The sun's dipping lower and she's about to lose visibility up here, so she pushes herself to her feet and grabs the line she'd left ready. She'd been using the buildings and rooftops as a training course today, and she grasps the line with a careful grip before propelling downwards, landing on the ground below with a careful skill. She's still out of sight of anyone who might happen to be passing by - her habits are deeply ingrained and keeping her identity and skills a secret comes as easily as breathing most days. Gathering up her supplies, Artemis stuffs them in her knapsack and drags the strap up over one shoulder before slipping out around the building and trudging for home. She's a little sore from the strain of how she'd pushed herself, but that's what she'd been after. Tomorrow, perhaps, she'd spend the day on target practice instead. Or maybe she'd try something different entirely. Maybe she'd even take up that standing invitation she'd been offered for training at the Battle Dome, even if the idea of that made her a little nervous and wary if she stopped and thought about it too long.

Everything about this place was an adjustment, but Artemis had always been good at surviving. Adapting. She wasn't giving up, not by a long shot. She had people at home waiting for her, after all. She'd find a way back to them. Somehow.

The Strengths and Weaknesses section should be written entirely by you and not copied from another source. Since you explained that was the case to begin with, we won't mark that against you, but I would like to see the section rewritten.

As for her equipment, there is no trouble with any of that. They should appear immediately or later on in the shops.

Edited the strengths section above with the adjustments requested! :)

You're accepted, have some delicious copypasta.
