Application
Entanglement has switched over to a dressing room format for now, so applications aren't needed for the time being.
FANDOM CHARACTER APPLICATION:
ORIGINAL CHARACTER APPLICATION:
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.

Re: Protomen!Protoman, part 2/x
Protoman is a robot - a six-foot-tall, extremely human-looking robot, but a robot nonetheless.
He wears a red helmet with a visor that covers almost his entire face, leaving only his mouth uncovered. His body is clad in a most unusual manner - a side-buttoned red tunic, black trousers, and dark brown leather boots modeled on those used by military pilots of his father's era.
Around his neck is a wide - and fairly long - yellow scarf, and on his left hand is a white leather driving glove that reaches up to just below his elbow.
On his right arm is a bulky, multi-barreled energy weapon that looks to be part of his body, but which can actually be detached, revealing a black-gloved hand underneath the weapon.
Personality:
Protoman is, for lack of a better term, a reluctant soldier, having fallen twice in battle - first to Wily's army of evil robots (due to sheer weight of numbers and the cowardice of the inhabitants of the city), and then again at the hands of an unknown sniper when he confronted his younger brother, Megaman.
He's also rather cynical about the whole "hero" thing, as he now believes that heroes - at least, as traditionally portrayed - encourage weakness and dependence in the people they're supposed to protect.
If it can be proven to him that the people who he's asked to assist will be able to take care of themselves once he's gone, he'll do his best to help them - but given his cynical nature, anyone who tries this will likely have a hard time convincing him.
"Why should we save them when they stand for nothing? If they deserve life, let them stand for themselves!"

Re: Protomen!Protoman, part 3/x
Powershot: Protoman has the ability to channel energy directly from his reactor core into his weapon, allowing it to fire much more potent shots than it would normally be capable of.
Proto Shield: Protoman can deploy an energy shield from his left arm, capable of deflecting or absorbing many different types of weapons fire. However, it has a limited capacity for such, and once the shield's energy is depleted, he will be unable to use it until it has recharged.
Sample:
"No."
Protoman glared at the man before him, the one who had asked for his help. True, he had no love for the Fay'lian - from what he'd heard, they had an empire that Albert Wily would probably love to emulate - but nor did he particularly care for the Resistance, despite the cause they professed to serve.
"Let me make this absolutely clear. I will not fight for you. I might fight beside you, but I will not fight for you."
His eyes smoldered as he remembered that one fateful day. "I did that once - I fought for the inhabitants of a city, hoping to free them from the man who held them in thrall. There was not a man among them who would stand by me, who would take up arms and fight by my side. They could easily have done so, but they didn't."
He leaned forward, speaking to this man as he had spoken to his brother long ago.
"If you want my help, show me you can stand for yourself."
