APPLICATIONS!

Currently: Open!
Applications are checked roughly weekly unless otherwise stated.

We ask that potential applicants post their application in comments rather than linking. If their application contains explicit references to 'hard' spoilers (character death, unforeseen plot twists, big reveals, he was evil all along etc), players should put the application in their own journal or their character's journal and link it, making sure to mention the presence of spoilers within. For further clarification on our spoilers policy and whether or not your application needs to be linked, please check this page. Thank you for your cooperation!

The comment character limit on Dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.

While players are welcome to play multiple characters (five characters maximum are allowed per player!), please only apply for one character at a time, and wait for a decision before submitting another application!

A reminder for those waiting to hear back: Please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!

Please use the form below to apply! If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the mods.

Canon Resource Links: Here we would have the links to wikis and other information sites. If none of those seem to provide enough information, feel free to add more about the character here. However, please do not use this section as a full history section unless your canon is ridiculously obscure. General rule of thumb: if there are a good amount of descriptive resources, please just link them and use this section to add in what may have been left out, as opposed to writing an entire history section.

Original Character Background: THIS SECTION IS FOR ORIGINAL CHARACTERS AND CUSTOMIZABLE/SILENT PROTAGONISTS ONLY! In lieu of canon resources, please write for us at minimum 2-3 full paragraphs describing the following for your character:
- Their world (OCs): Is it magic? Medieval? Futuristic? An Earth like ours?
- Their history (OCs and customizable/silent protagonists): What have been the key events in their lives to date? What kind of background do they have?
- For customizable/silent protagonists: How are you justifying your portrayal of the character? What is your in-canon evidence? Please explain how, if your character lacks dialogue or a set background, you determined their history and personality.

Personality: Give us at minimum 2-3 full paragraphs of how you understand your character's personality. Talk about basic characteristics, any major developments over the course of their canon, their motives, their social behavior, strengths and weaknesses, and anything else you can think of that shows off your knowledge of this character.

Pokémon Information
Affiliation: What career path will your character be taking? Breeder, Trainer? Or maybe even down the dark path of becoming a member of Team Rocket? Note: All Rocket members start as grunts. (For right now, only those three positions are available, whether your character chooses to follow their assigned path or not.)
Starter: What starter Pokémon do you want your character to have? Please use the list linked above to choose from.

Samples
RP Sample: The sample must be a thread, with at least five comments from you, that you have made anywhere with this character in the last four months at the canon point you have chosen for said character. Linking to a post or log containing multiple threads will also suffice, as long as at least one of the threads has the required number of comments. This thread sample can be in any format (e.g. network post, prose log, actionspam, Dear Mun post, and so on). While it does not have to be set in Victory Road's setting, you can use a Victory Road test drive thread for this sample, as long as it's a different thread than one used for the second sample below. What we are looking for here is grasp of your character's voice and a sense of how you operate as a role-player. If we feel that the sample provided is not adequate, we reserve the right to ask for another.

Victory Road Sample: This sample must take place in Victory Road's setting and can be EITHER a written post OR another thread if you would prefer not to write a post. The minimum is 300 words for a prose sample, eight sentences for a network post/actionspam sample, or ten comments total (five from you) in an RP sample. What we are looking for here is how the character responds to the Pokéworld's setting. You can also use a Victory Road test drive thread for this sample, but you cannot use the same top-level for the first sample above.

Current Characters in Victory Road: none !

Character
Name: Jinx
Series: Teen Titans (2003)
Timeline: Post Lightspeed (Season 5)
Canon Resource Links: black magic woman ! Due to how the show was written, we never truly delve into Jinx’s backstory save for a vague hint, and as such much is left up to interpretation however.

Personality: Jinx is an ambitious, hard working teenage girl who wants better for herself than what she’s got. Before, this meant being the best villain she could be, and now she just wants what’s best for her in general- and unfortunately for her former team, this means she wants more respect than they were giving her as a friend and as a leader. Although she can be genial- especially when it’s advantageous- Jinx does have a mean streak, and her temper can flare with ease. Due to her desire for control in her life, she does her best to keep a handle on it but she can lash out at others at times of high stress… or high annoyance. She’s also had no issues with casual petty cruelty, though with Kid Flash’s pleas of being better, and her recent defection, she’s been struggling with a newfound sense of guilt… not that she’ll admit it without prompting.

Underneath the pride and ambition however, Jinx is incredibly insecure about her capabilities- is she strong enough? Smart enough? Hardened enough for the life she’d been leading? Kind enough for the path she’s taking now? Though she refuses to permit any mistreatment from anyone- including her own former idol- she also struggles with treating herself well, and thinks of herself as lesser or undeserving due to her bad luck powers, especially as it’s later revealed in comics that she can’t control them nearly as well as she’d like to and her allies have suffered for it. She generally has high expectations of others, and expects them to be better than her, be it as a criminal or morally. With what little is known about her life, we can only surmise from her desire to be ‘useful’ and in command of her life and her team that she has suffered mistreatment and abandonment from those in her life before Dark Way Prep and later HIVE.

Other traits of note is her affection towards her allies and friends, maturity in comparison with her former team- being focused and driven on her missions and assignments while they wanted to play around, for example- and her flair for the dramatics, such as her quiet, intimidating and eerie persona during heists and her initial attack on the Titans. Jinx is aware of how she’s perceived, and how she wants to be seen at any given time… however, she’s ultimately still a kid, and one who likes fashion, art and unicorns… and also crimes, occasionally. (You can’t expect her to turn around in a day, after all, and she worked hard at being a good thief- loud and attention grabbing or otherwise!)
