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.

Character:

Character's Name: Yuri Lowell
Character's Fandom: Tales of Vesperia
Character's Home Universe: Sparsely populated, relatively low-tech world with lots of dangerous monsters. Most people live in settlements protected by barrier blastia (”http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Blastia”) and rarely leave the town they were born in. There is an Empire which attempts to enforce itself through various means, chiefly the Imperial Knights, and there are also the Guilds, who consider themselves outside of the Empire's jurisdiction. Clashes between the Imperial Knights and the Guilds happen rather frequently.
Physical Appearance: Yuri is 5'11 and slender, with dark hair to midback, an almost pasty complexion, and somewhat feminine features. He looks more or less his age (21) although he has from time to time been mistaken for a tall woman, but the issue is generally resolved once he says something. He is a compulsive sleeve-roller and generally tends to look rumpled, but in an intentional “Yes I know my shirt is unfastened, deal with it” sort of way rather than looking like he just rolled out of bed.

Personality: Yuri has a deep-seated grudge against nobles and almost anyone richer than he is (which is almost everyone), and his snobbish hotheaded snarkiness about it can make him very difficult to deal with at times. His brief stint in the Imperial Knights gave him an equally deep-seated grudge against the Empire and authority in general. He is brash, sarcastic and cynical, unwilling (or unable) to show any sort of social graces, and tends to be grumpy when faced with annoying problems like saving people. Yuri does not suffer fools, he makes fools suffer, and if it weren't for his own (often reckless) heroic impulses, would fit perfectly into the stereotype of jaded anti-hero. He considers heroics in general to be stupid, and sees his own inability to stand by when people are in trouble as proof of his own stupidity. He likes a challenge though, and will often excuse his actions by saying that he wanted to fight that bad guy anyway, and the fact that he saved people by doing so was irrelevant. Lately he's been finding that saving the world makes him more of a hero in most people's eyes than he's comfortable with, so he's been off-loading much his fame onto his best friend Flynn, figuring that a member of the Imperial Knights should be used to such things. His loyalties are ultimately to himself and the people he considers to be under his protection, a group which seems to be expanding at an alarming rate. His fee for this loyalty is making witty (read sarcastic) remarks and the right to tease his companions mercilessly.

Abilities and Skills: Yuri is a somewhat better than competent swordsman, who through a combination of flashy gymnastics and using all four of his limbs has managed to put together a fighting style that nicely makes up for whatever disadvantage he might have due to a lack of skill. He also has a bodhi-blastia in the form of a somewhat ornamental gold cuff on his left wrist that makes him a bit faster, stronger, and more durable than the average human, in addition to letting him do simple spell techniques. He is ambidextrous, tending to favour his left hand.

Even for his world, Yuri is poorly educated and knows it. This does not particularly bother him, since he considers the skills he does have to be just as useful, if not moreso than any kind of book-learning he has come across. He's been proven wrong about this several times, but stubbornly insists that even if it is more useful, he himself is not smart enough to make proper use of it and should stick to what he's good at, IE hitting things. Give him a book, and he will probably look at you funny. Try to explain something complicated to him, and he will either tune you out and walk away or interrupt you to explain that he doesn't really care how it works, as long as it does and somebody understands it. He can read and write in his homeworld language, do simple arithmetic, and cook good (if not always pretty) food, with proper supplies. He's not as stupid as he thinks he is-- he's a quick thinker, learns quickly when he thinks something is relevant, is fairly good at reading people and situations and at using both to his advantage, and usually has the good sense not to touch something if he doesn't know what it is. He is also able to use tech even when he doesn't understand it, assuming that someone gives him very clear directions on what to do with it (ie, “press this button when the light flashes”, “pull the pin and throw toward the enemy”, etc) and would probably make a decent go-fer assistant for someone who needs an extra set of hands and to get things off high shelves, and doesn't mind putting up with Yuri's inability to keep his mouth shut for any extended period of time.

Sample: There were some things about this place that Yuri liked, he decided. The spot he'd claimed for himself near the main kitchens was quiet, but not so out of the way as to be inconvenient. The people were... interesting if nothing else. Everyone seemed to mind their own business for the most part, and he hadn't come across anyone particularly annoying (yet). On the whole he was making the best of having been randomly pulled out of his admittedly starting-to-get-boring life and plunked into the middle of something that he still wasn't sure he understood. Some other things though were just plain bad.

For instance, the food. Yuri had managed to choke down enough brick-crumbs to keep hunger at bay, but this stuff would put Flynn's overseasoning to shame. If this was what everybody was eating, he seriously feared for the future of whatever it was that these people were doing.

“Still,” he muttered aloud. “I suppose if you were to deep fry it might not be so bad...” Deep-frying required fat. He'd seen a dubiously-labelled can of cooking fat in the kitchen, sniffed it, and decided not to bother. Worst came to worst, he might be able to find something useful in the “habitats” he'd heard mentioned. “Looks like it's time to go hunting...”
