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.

Character:

Character's Name: Eridan Ampora
Character's Fandom: Homestuck
Character's Home Universe:wwiki link (http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/Homestuck)
Canon Point you're taking him/her/it from: After escaping to the Veil
Method of Arrival on Station: Pod~
Physical Appearance: kickass royal blood (http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100830030349/mspaintadventures/images/1/14/CaligulasAquarium.PNG)
Personality:
The first thing of note is that he has a notable fondness for tales of military history and achievement, conquerors, and great leaders. As a royal troll, he aspires to live up to these stories, which has led him to develop a rather large ego and somewhat overdramatic mannerisms and personality traits. He has a passion for the idea of conquest and glory, so much of what he does is an attempt to win glory for himself. Unfortunately, all of this makes him "a bit of a tool". (The whole hipster appearance likely doesn't help matters.)

He has a particular hate for landdwellers, and spends a good deal of time plotting to kill them all. There is no actual reason for this given in canon other than the fact that he hates the amount of garbage they produce, particularly because it ends up in the ocean. Although one could extrapolate that, based on what we know of troll culture, this is partially the result of internalised beliefs of superiority due to blood colour and physical traits. Thus, not only are land trolls inherently inferior, they are deliberately spitting in the face of their betters by polluting the living environment of the royal blooded trolls: the oceans. Still, if this entire genocide thing is the result of littering…

His hatred of landdwellers is so deep that he even lives above water. Why? To spy on them and better learn their habits. After all, one needs to know their enemy to be able to defeat them. Of course, he does mention that of all the landdwelling trolls, he would not kill Kanaya Maryam, as they are friends. Which hints that he does, at least, have the ability to form attachments to individual persons even if they fall under the broad spectrum of people he hates because of what they are. Although, Kanaya has also shown a remarkable ability to put up with his theatrics, which leads to the next part of his personality.

He is quite theatrical in mannerism. He has a tendency to exaggerate and embellish things, such as when he described his relationship with Vriska Serket as one that had not been seen in this universe for ten thousand sweeps, and one that would make the stars turn into rainbow rivers. This also extends to insults and slights. He is remarkably good at holding a grudge (although one can't quite blame him for being a little bitter that he was left to spend most of the 600 hours the trolls spent playing SGRUB alone).

He is inordinately focused with filling his quadrants, particularly after his moirail, Feferi, breaks up with him. He has a tendency to flirt with everyone, regardless of actual interest or chances of compatibility, and disregard being told that his advances are not welcome... to a certain extent. He lacks the temperament to ever force himself on another, but that doesn't stop him from being annoyingly persistent with his flirting, even after he has been told in no uncertain terms that he. is not. wanted. Eridan is also a master of selective hearing. Act nice to him? You must be harboring secret flushed feelings. Get snappish and insult him? Secretly, you have a hate boner for him. And nothing will convince him otherwise.

Also, despite his flirting with everyone, he is still extremely desperate to convince Feferi to be in a relationship with him once more. To this end, he gets into fights with who he perceives as his main rival for her affections, in a bid to convince Feferi that if she won't be his matesprit then she should auspistice between himself and Sollux (said rival). He's desperate enough that even though his goal is for Feferi to be flushed for him, he'd accept ashen feelings.
