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.

Physical Appearance: When MISSINGNO takes physical shape, he can appear in one of several forms: a pterodactyl-like fossilized skeleton, a strange skeletal mixture of a praying mantis and pill-bug, a black, misty ghost with a glowing face, or a bunch of jumbled static. The lattermost is his favourite form, since it has the least effort involved. In addition, thanks to the internet, MISSINGNO. can also temporarily take the shape of a human, with limbs phasing in and out of view with the same jumbled static as his preferred form. He can speak, but he prefers to interact via electronic text.
Personality: Rumoured to be the Ultimate Corrupter, MISSINGNO. is actually significantly less volatile than his little brother M. If caught, MISSINGNO. will not actually corrupt your game unless you REALLY make him mad. For the most part, he occupies himself by trolling your save data in small ways here and there. The allure to make friends with him, though, is because he can magically grant you 256 of whatever item you have that is sixth in your bag. He refers to himself in the masculine declension, even though he is neither female nor male, and prefers to be called such. He used to be kind of a recluse, only showing up on Cinnabar Island and the Seafoam Islands in South Kantou, but once you are exposed to the internet, you can't go back.

MISSINGNO. enjoys making friends, but somehow they always end up being upset at him for the things he does for fun. He'll mess with your telephone's address book, for instance, or switch around your photos on Facebook and add new ones you've never seen before. Sometimes he thinks he wasn't really meant to be, but one cannot live healthily with regrets. One can, however, live off of bits of unused data. He especially likes munching on save files for games.
Abilities and Skills: In addition to the two Water Gun attacks and the one Sky Attack for which he is well-known, and the Bind, Pay Day, and Water Gun moveset that he learned in Yellow, MISSINGNO. can freely edit any data that he can touch. He cannot change it from one intelligible thing into another, however; his power there is limited to jumbling and scrambling. It can't be undone. He can also, for periods of between five and thirty seconds, slow down or speed up time for himself and the one person that is acting as the “player” at that moment (this person may be completely arbitrary, or may be a friend. Who knows?), switch tempos and keys of any music that is playing through an electronic source, and even make temporary copies of a person who interacts with him. He can exist in zero-atmosphere environments, since he is really just a data bug. Perhaps the most useful thing he can do, however, is multiply physical items. As long as you have more than five items in your bag or pockets, whichever item was put into it sixth can be increased to 256 of the same item. This may or may not be a terribly thing, especially is there is not enough space in the area for 256 of said item.

Sample:

Bohr's data services were an easy target when it came to playing jokes, but these days he was tiring of scrambling up the pornography trideos and bootlegged intelligence softwares that most often crossed his path. He sat in a piece of hardware, chewing absently on some zeros and ones, and recalled when he was first discovered.

Those were the days! When he could invade and utterly disarrange the Hall of Fame that Red and Blue and Green held so dear to themselves, when Blue was glad to see him only because apparently he really liked candy, when Red started visiting just to listen to him change music up and watch him horribly mutate random Pokemon into ungodly spliced versions of their previous selves. He missed Red the most, probably. Sure, Blue was a cool guy, and Green visited sometimes too, but Red was the guy he missed most. But now, such is life. He'd been given existence by this miraculously large space called the Internet, and had thrived for this long on all the new datae he'd been able to play with!

Until the day he came to Bohr, and they encrypted the output of their data exportation channels. It was like putting a big lock on the gate out of there. He sighed to himself again. Sure, he could slip out on any mook's purchase, but who would want to live in a porno? No, he was sure that he'd spend the rest of his existence in this place.

But wait, what's this? An unencrypted channel? Radio waves! This was a medium upon which he had not travelled in decades! And to boot, it went to a space station! He'd hitched rides on space stations before, and he really liked interfacing with navigation programs. Grabbing fast onto the crest of a wave, he jettisoned himself into the input channel of a station he now knew was called Senburu Trati'salan.

The first thing he should to, he thought, was make some acquaintances. He forced himself through the barrier between the realm of data and that of matter, and took the form of a young boy, clad in a grey, flowing, much-too-large tee shirt. Now and again, patches of his “flesh” would crackle like television static, become transparent, fade away for a moment. One day he'd learn to fix that. In the meantime, though, his first mission was to seek someone else.

We think that this application does not contain enough information on what exactly the fuck Missingno is.

Also it is not clear about his/her/its canon status. Is Missingno an actual character in the Pokemon universe or an out of control digital entity that originated in a Pokemon cartridge?
