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.

Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: During the revolution of Quell's homeworld, known as the Unsettlement, before her death.
Method of Arrival on Station: Her new sleeve (body her personality inhabits) was retrieved just prior to her tank being popped.
Physical Appearance: image (http://www.thecinemasource.com/moviesdb/images/Julianne_Moore%20-%202%20-%20Freedomland.jpg)
Personality: Quellcrist Falconer is an anarchist. After living the conditions of the low class, she became sympathetic, and helped lead a revolution against the First Families of Harlan's World. She believed that power must be overthrown when the beliefs of a people no longer align with its government. Power, no matter how little, accumulates, regardless of government style, and a new regime must eventually take over when the people no longer matter to them.

Quell was a feminist, regarding the greatest minds as having been female, and that many conflicts were started because of the whims of men. This being said, she treated men as equally as women, as long as they proved competent in her eyes. She had little time and patience for long-winded political dealings, much preferring to work in the here and now.

Quell had an extreme sense of justice. To cause harm to another person merely because one had the ability to do it angered her greatly. When someone thought of another as inferior, she empowered them to rise up and prove the oppressor wrong. She believed piece was an ideal setting for discussion, but had a realist's streak; too many times had she seen things go awry in "peaceful discussions."

On the other hand, she didn't like that even her supporters had become blind followers. During the unsettlement, she wrote in her campaign diaries about how few in her camp seemed to care about the numbers lost in battle, lauding her with "choral fucking approval for everything I do."

Abilities and Skills: Quell is an excellent guerilla warfighter. For every conventional strategy the First Families came up with, she seemed to be one step ahead with a decent counterattack. Because of the ability for her cortical datastack to be transferred into a new body, she was able to live through the Unsettlement until its final day, when she experienced Real Death. Her body is a custom-built genetically engineered body, able to see in infrared, as well as receive strategic updates in her mind. Her bones, muscles, and tendons are enhanced to be durable far above the level of a normal human.

Sample:

It's always a shock to wake up in a resleeving chamber when you die on the battlefield. You remember everything that was going on, can see the very instant that your life was ripped from the mortal coil. When your datastack is placed into a new body, there's no point in time where they set it so you're calm. One instant you're staring at the wrong end of an orbital angelfire strike, and the next you're waking up, spasming and slightly drowning as you inhale the amniotic fluid they've been holding your sleeve in. A friend in the Black Brigades once told me if you prepare yourself for the shock, when you wake up again, you won't feel so bad.

He was full of shit.

All of the above happened as my conscious returned to an active state. I doubted I'd been under for more than a day, a week tops. The Quellists wouldn't want their beloved leader on ice for too long. Not that I minded too much. It could have been just as easy to stick my stack into a virtual suite and let me ride out the shock in there. But it seemed not to be. I sat up bolt straight, sputtering and hacking as my throat burned to clear itself of the fluid. My mind was stuck between the shock of being blown up in a helicopter and trying to remember that it was over, my stack survived.

After some time I blinked my eyes open, slightly pained from their virgin usage. As they focused, something became immediately apparent to me. This wasn't any known sleeving station supporting the Quellists. The thought that the Harlans had managed to obtain my stack was out of the question as well. This barely put-together scrapheap spelled nothing that would dream to be a part of the First Families or anyone that respectfully called themselves residents of Millsport's upper class. This was something new. Something...different.
