the_measurers | Application

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

FANDOM CHARACTER APPLICATION:

Mun: Your Name: Your Journal: (optional) Your Email: Your AIM: (optional) Character: Character's Name: Character's Fandom: Character's Home Universe:(Please either describe a bit of your character's universe or link to a wiki that does so) Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: (If your character's spent a signifigant amount of time in the game universe, please include it here, including whether they've been on Senburu-Trati'salan a while) Method of Arrival on Station: (see the FAQ for a list of options) Physical Appearance: (You may link to a picture if you like. If they'll be gaining new clothes upon arrival, describe them here) 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.)

ORIGINAL CHARACTER APPLICATION:

Mun: Your Name: Your Journal: (optional) Your Email: Your AIM: (optional) Character: Character's Name: Character's Fandom: (if an original universe based OC, put 'OC' here) Character's Home Universe:(Please describe it. What's it like? Magic? Technology? What is their home culture like?) Method of Arrival on Station: (see the FAQ for a list of options) Physical Appearance: (You may link to a picture if you like. 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.

Further proof of his whinginess is that, despite his rather tough façade, when push comes to shove he has a tendency to crumble. This is exhibited numerous times. First is when Feferi breaks up with him, he panics and begs her not to. Then he tries to get in contact with Karkat to complain about being broken up with, he can't get a response. When he bothers Gamzee to find out what's going on, and he finds out that Karkat is inadvertently responsible for Sollux's death and is very broken up about it, he immediately backs down and admits to being an asshole. Another prime example is whenever he talks about fighting on his planet in the game, because his usual bravado quickly becomes complaining about how it was lonely and difficult and no one came to help him or even talked to him.

Negative emotions such as sadness, disappointment, upset all lead to complaining and begging. Annoyance or aggravation lead to posturing, ranting, and also complaining and begging. Given most of his emotions exhibited fall into the negative side, he tends to be complaining a LOT. Because he is often faced with rejection, accept him at your own risk. He can be very clingy; after being Feferi's moirail for an unspecified length of time, he cannot accept that she is no longer interested in him in any fashion.

In certain ways, he is quite guileless. That is, he does have a difficult time obscuring his true intentions when it comes to relationships. On the other hand, he does later show himself capable of a certain level of deceit. Obviously if the other trolls had known he was considering trying to defect to Jack Noir, they would have stopped him sooner, yet the shocked reactions to his declaration that he intended to do this shows that they had no idea that he'd been thinking of such a thing. In fact, it came (or rather, will come, as I am taking him from before then) rather out of the blue. Which means that he is capable of keeping his own plans and motives to himself if he deems it important enough. His own survival and that of the girl he loves does appear to be important enough that he wouldn't risk anyone trying to foil what he sees as the one way that might have a chance of that happening. (Of course, then he kind of just ruins all that… but that is neither here nor there considering that happens well after they get to the Veil.)

This also means he puts his own interests first. This was exhibited even during the game. He spent much of his time on his planet alone, yes, but in certain ways it was his fault, as the only time he really left before fighting the Black King was to duel Sollux. Otherwise, he spent much of his time killing the inhabitants of his land, some rather fearsome angels that weren't meant to be destroyed, despite being told by the other trolls that it was a stupid idea. Add in his earlier desperation to talk to Karkat and being angered until he found out just why he wasn't getting a response, the fact that he has extreme difficulty taking no for an answer, and how he does his best to evade people blocking him from talking to them, and it's fairly easy to see that he's very selfish.

With all this in mind, he would probably agree to oppose the Fay'lia, but depending on how things go (especially in the realm of building any sort of relationship with the other members of the Resistance), he could easily see that it's in his better interests to switch sides. Of course, he can also see the benefits of a successful opposition against the Fay'lia. After all, he believes very much in troll supremacy, and it would be extremely difficult to rebuild the troll race to its former glory if there were some other, more powerful race in the way… As such, for the present time, he's working with the Resistance willingly, albeit with a certain amount of distaste seeing just how poorly outfitted they are.
