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.

Timeline:
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: Yuri Leclerc
Series: Fire Emblem 3 Houses
Timeline: Azure Moon: During the assault on Fort Merceus.
Canon Resource Links: Here!

Personality:

Guarded -"I only play my hand when it's a secured victory. That's why I'm here."

Yuri is an extremely skilled tactician and is always a few steps ahead of his opponents, or he tries to be. To him everything is like a game of chess and because of this he doesn't give much of his own feelings away and hides some of his darker thoughts. Because of his slightly ruthless behavior he will betray allies temporarily or execute a plan alone if it means keeping those he cares about safe. It's easier for him to do this by putting a front up and not letting many get close. He has many secrets as well such as his true name which he hasn't told anyone yet.

Cheeky/Flirtatious -"Charming, aren't I? I'm certainly not above using that charm to get what I want."
Yuri is very flirty and sly. He isn't opposed to using his looks to manipulate others into giving him something he wants or needs especially if it will help him protect people he cares about. While he will flirt with most anyone it's hard to tell if he's being honest in his desires.

Deeply Caring -"If you ever need someone to help you out, I’m your guy. I’ll make your problems vanish into thin air."
He obviously has very firm beliefs and wants to do well by people he deems important. Abyss is the first place he's ever truly cared for and will do anything for it's protection. He will side with anyone who can help him protect his people and those he cares about and will not think twice about deserting if it puts his loved ones in harms way. His caring attitude stems from when he was younger and was saved from a life threatening plague by a kind old man. It was from that moment that Yuri decided he would make it his life mission to anyone he could. One of his prized possessions is a notebook in which is listed every name of someone he couldn't save as a way to have their memory live on.

Do Whatever It Takes -"Don't sit back and do nothing. You'll just end up dying needlessly. That's how it goes in my world, anyway."
Yuri isn't afraid to get his hands dirty to attain his goals. he can be quite frightening when he wants to be, as his reputation as the Savage Mockingbird was established from swindling, participating in illicit markets and manipulating others for a living in order to help the less fortunate by putting on a charming nature in order to manipulate the more privileged into giving him what he wants, with few daring to cross him.
