Entanglement has switched over to a dressing room format for now, so applications aren't needed for the time being.

If they'll be gaining new clothes upon arrival, describe them here) Character History: (Their life up to arrival on Senburu-Trati'salan. You don't need to tell us every detail but enough that we get an idea of what shaped them into who they are today.) Personality: (at least two paragraphs) Abilities and Skills: (Both human and superhuman. Optional section.) Sample: (At least three good sized paragraphs. Please set this within the game's multiverse. You may use NPCs or characters already in the game as foils for your character in this sample if you wish. Format is prose, either third or first person. You may also use a musebox post or one in <lj site="livejournal.com" user="testrunbox"> as your sample. This post may be slightly shorter than a sample written here, as long as your total length of writing (initial post+your tags) fits the length guidelines.)

Whichever application you're posting, please put the character's name, if they're an OC, and their fandom (if any) in the subject line.

Note again that you are allowed to use musebox posts and posts on testrun_box for your sample. In that case, your total amount of tags written will be added up, so the initial post can be shorter than normal for a sample. You're still required to use a prose format and set the sample in the game universe though.

Character:

Character's Name: Jiji
Character's Fandom: Kiki's Delivery Service
Character's Home Universe:Kiki's delivery service is set in a world reminiscent of a cheery Mediterranean country at a time when powered heavier-than-air flight is just coming into being with the airways still dominated by the blimps and zeppelins of old. While not widespread, magic and witchcraft are known of but nothing like widespread or ubiquitous. It seems to be considered an honor for a town to have a witch of its very own, though they seem to be considered old-fashioned by ordinary people's standards. It's one of their oldest customs that when a young witch turns thirteen she sets out into the world to find a new town to call home and make her own way in. As the traditional black witch's cat, Jiji is taken along for the ride when his witch, a young girl called Kiki sets off into the world. Hoo boy, here we go.

Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: While Kiki is visiting Ursula in the forest— though I'd like him to emerge from a pod and thus be unaware of how long it's been since then (implications being that it has been a long time indeed)

Method of Arrival on Station: Emerging from a fully human-sized pod. Except he's a cat. So whatever.
Physical Appearance: A typical black shorthair cat, oriental conformation with perhaps a bit of rex in his genes. Here pictured with kittens of his own creation.

Personality: Sarcastic to squiwardian heights, Jiji acts as Kiki's conscience and surrogate older brother for most of the film. Despite this nominal position of seni-authority, he's frequently subjected to the usual trials of a cat that belongs to a young girl, including being put in cages and fed unusual things. (Pancakes, anyone?) For all that, he genuinely loves his witch, considering himself as much a part of her and her magic as any broomstick or spell. Because of his role as the guardian of Kiki's stupider impulses, Jiji tends to be suspicious towards new people and their motives. This attitude is usually (eventually) trumped by the preeminent catitude; familiarity and food breed eternal fellowship.

Abilities and Skills: As a domestic shorthair, Jiji can leap nearly six feet vertically, depending on how badly he wants to get somewhere. His life on Kiki's unsteady broomstick has trained his already acute feline sense of balance to razor sharpness but, if he does fall, he is capable of surviving a four-story drop with minimal injury, though he may receive significant hurt from shorter distances or dramatically longer ones. Also he is not declawed. He is shown in canon to be capable of speaking to and understanding animal languages and possesses an encyclopedic, if passive aggressive, knowledge of witch history.

Sample: Oh, she was not serious. Jiji decided early on that she couldn't serious, a decision he'd reached about the octopus chef more than once before. But there she was, all the same, tearing around the kitchen like a whirlwind, pretending that whatever it was she was doing with that cloud of paprika was going to make brickmush more palatable than gravel.

She ululated at him encouragingly, and much to the consernation of bystanders he answered in a language the babelfish could handle; cat.

Jiji shook his head firmly, "Uh-uh, I'm looking for salmon flavor. Saaaaa-mon!"

The reply was accompanied by a few gestures which could not have been circulated in polite company.

Oh god, she was serious about this.

"Well that's just uncalled for..." he drawled with deep exasperation, "I'm going to put my paws together and pray you're don't think that's going to taste good!"

She wasn't even listening, digging through her drawers for whatever she thought she'd need. Well, wasn't that just a kick in the tail. Ugh; what could he even say to that? She was going to try and do this, no matter what he said and Jiji would— hey, where was she going? Jiji leapt up onto the short-order counter to watch as the station chef informed his future meal about the dubious nature of his parentage, sexual habits, and likely port of origin. Poor guy, he'd probably thank Jiji for eating him.

Pity that the 'thanks' were likely to come in the form of diarrhea. Oh well; could be worse. He could be dangling ten thousand feet over Koriko from a broomstick.

Small blessings.

You know what to do! (We were on the borderline about asking for more personality but, well, he's a cat, there might not be that much more there)

JIJI!!! JIJI!!! JIJI!!!!
