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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Physical Appearance: http://kurogane.animeblogger.net/image/misc/seikai_no_senki.jpg
Personality:

Poor Jinnto is a milquetoast kinda guy thrust into a stellar conflict that is beyond the scope of what he's comfortable with. A somewhat shy, studious lad, he's the kind of boy who would have been the valedictorian of his class if he were allowed to live out a normal childhood.

Circumstances didn't allow that though. Now legally not just an Abh but Abh nobility, he struggles with his place in the universe. Abh or lander? While the Kin of the Stars have welcomed him as one of them, he still feels sometimes like an outsider. Undoubtedly he longs for his native Martine, its gently rolling hills and farmlands, but that's no longer possible for him. An exile, he seeks comfort in routine and with his friends.

The aw-shucks adorability hides a quick mind though, enough to earn the interest of the notoriously difficult to please Admiral Spaurh.

Complicating all this is the Abh princess he's grown close to over the years. He feels an overwhelming need to be by her side. The nature of this feeling remains confusing for the both of them and they are both rather nervous and awkward whenever the idea that they might be more than just good friends comes up. The difference in their physiology adds an additional complicating layer. He'll age while she remains youthful forever. He's not sure he'd want to inflict that on her.
Abilities and Skills: Jinnto is legally a count of the Humankind Empire Abh, making him in fact rather wealthy, although being in the star forces and underage makes most of that wealth inaccesible.

He is trained in the operation of Abh starship systems, having a very basic knowledge of engineering and piloting (although true piloting duties are restricted by physiology to genetic Abh).

As a supply officer, he's the Abh equivalent of a certified accountant. Count on him to count the piles.

He's trained in the Abh tongue and all aspects of their ettiquette, including formal dinner and tea and dancing.

He can stomach Martinese food which is apparently heavy on both the spices and cheese.

Sample: Although he knew it was impossible, Jinnto felt as if the starlight filtering through the star dome was shining a hot spotlight on him. Undoubtedly the formal robes he was wearing were contributing to this effect, as were all the bodies pressed inside.

There were so many eyes on him. Some expectant, others lazy and intoxicated, searching, evaluating, eyes that were compound or yellow and slitted like cats.

He stood up cleared his throat.

"I've completed the evaluation. Our food stores are as follows: five thousand three hundred and twenty eight individual boxes of surplus grain-o-max. Twelve hundred seventy two cans of expired Slurm. Eight six foot high barrels of fermenting kombucha. Five cabinets worth of bulk spices." It had been (Abh) hell convincing the octopus chef to let him inspect that. "And a refrigerator full of...brick liquor? It's drinkable but very alcoholic."

"And what does that mean in time?" Asked Enitan in his low-pitched, grandfatherly voice. He leaned on his power-cane.

"We have between three and six weeks of food left."

"Thank you, young man. Well everyone, you heard the Count. We need solutions and we need them now. I need you all as clever as Anansi!"

Hands shot up and the conversation mercifully moved past him. He'd done his duty. Now he sought Lafiel in the crowd.

She wasn't difficult to spot. She was sorrounded by those who thought she was a Fay'lia, glaring or fascinated, but none daring to approach. She sat cross legged on an old carpet and glared back. He sat next to her. A friend of an Abriel's duty was never done...
