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.

Character
Name: “Glamrock” Freddy Fazbear
Series: Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach
Timeline: post “Canon ending”
Canon Resource Links:

Regarding Freddy’s personal history.
Regarding the canon until split endings option.
Regarding specifics of “Canon ending”.

Personality:
Freddy was built for entertainment, and as such is a show man in many regards, but rather than being thirsty for fame he simply genuinely enjoys being among people and doing something that fulfills his purpose. Bringing happiness, or joy, to many or just one is equally powerful for him. Inversely he feels the need to apologize for things he, himself is not responsible for when they cause even mild frustration or upset in those same individuals. He is empathetic in a way that shows he takes responsibility for not only the happiness of others but their upset as well.

Intentional in his build or not, he has a tendency toward being a positive role model of sorts. Freddy is uplifting of others, positive and an optimist. He supports those around him consistently and struggles to say anything negative about people even when they have been directly unkind to him. Through his encouragement he demonstrates a considerable parental interaction with Gregory, bolstering him and pushing him to do some things for himself, while being ready to be a fall back if things don’t go as planned. Even when he would normally be unwilling to disobey or unable to go places, if Gregory is in need of him, he finds his way there.

He is a very loyal individual and once he has chosen to ally himself with someone he will care for them, even when they are acting in ways that would otherwise garner distrust. When his bandmates show a propensity to attempt to capture Gregory, his charge, he tries to deflect the idea, saying that they are not allowed to harm guests, even as he does not directly tell Gregory he is wrong. Similarly when Gregory is evasive in telling Freddy just how his band members are after obtaining their upgrades he chooses to accept the words at face value. He even goes so far as to express hope that they are doing okay, in spite of the accidents that get him these upgrades.

Through his night spent with Gregory, it is more than just his physical shine that gets worn down, some of his innocent belief gets tarnished as well, allowing him to see that things aren’t as wonderful as he believed. When faced with the realization that what makes him ‘Freddy’ may be no more permanent than a set of clothes, he begins to have a crisis of person, even asking if he may be another animatronic with the wrong shell on, and he quickly accepts when he is guided out of the area, not readdressing the questions again.

Freddy is not without some amount of darkness of his own, it is made clear that he is not completely unaware of disappearances that have been happening in connection with the Mega Pizzaplex, something that he seems like he might be unwilling, or unable, to stop on his own. Additionally, while digging deeper into the mysteries under the Pizzaplex, he admits that he came to realize himself while down in this area. He speaks of the anger of his friends, something that he seems to feel is valid, but promises to protect Gregory from them, as he sees that the child is not the right outlet for that anger.

He has a sense of justice that, once unlocked, is fierce and determined. It takes a considerable amount of realization for him to start to act on this sense of justice, but once he does, it is accompanied by decisive action and conviction.
