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: Corrin
Series: Fire Emblem Fates
Timeline: Revelations Route (Chapter 18)
Canon Resource Links:
Corrin's page on the Fire Emblem Wiki

Personality:
( kind ) Corrin is an incredibly kindhearted person - almost to a fault, as he trusts others very easily and has a very poor judgement of bad characters. He will come to the aid of anyone who should ask him for it, and apologises profusely if he causes offence to others. In an example of his compassion, Corrin once found injured "bird" nursed it back to health - but unbeknownst to him, this "bird" would turn out to be a dragon - becoming one of Corrin's allies and voice of support in his canon.

( naïve ) After being raised in isolation for nearly his entire life, Corrin is undeniably naïve about the way his world functions outside of his castle fortress. Inside of his sheltered upbringing, he was accustomed to having butlers/maids tending to his every need, and the constant affection from his incredibly doting adopted brothers and sisters. He is cited by both of his older brothers, Ryoma and Xander, as being too trusting of other people, expressing fear that others might take advantage of such trustworthiness.

( charismatic ) Despite having been sheltered throughout all of his childhood, he is incredibly social and conversational, with enough persuasive charm to the point of convincing some enemy soldiers to join their cause after showing them mercy. Corrin is frequently described as being charming and charismatic, with the ability to make those he meets feel incredibly drawn to him and comfortable around him. In his support conversations with his allies, he is shown to be considerate and genuinely interested in them.

( curious ) Throughout various dialogues with friends from Corrin's childhood, there are frequent discussions about Corrin's lifelong goal of leaving the fortress and getting to see the outside world. In a bid to provide Corrin a glimpse of this freedom, his best friend, Silas, devised a plan to sneak Corrin out of the castle to experience a picnic. His curiosity also extends to his friends and allies, showing a fascination towards them and a tendency to ask a lot of questions in support conversations.

( pacifist ) Corrin has a strong aversion towards violence and will only fight his enemies when he has no other choice, throughout his canon game he explicitly states that he wants to try to win the war with as few casualties as possible. On the rare occasion that he fights without mercy, it is motivated by nothing other than the enemy units in question having total disregard against innocent lives and thus cannot be reasoned with, leaving Corrin with no other choice as to resort to violence in his bid for a peaceful future.
