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: Huey Duck
Series: DuckTales
Timeline: Post-"The Last Adventure"
Canon Resource Links: Wiki Link

Personality: Huey is, at his core, a leader, even if only one in his own mind. He aspires to be the one in charge, the one who has all the answers and can take on any situation. This has caused him grief and the occasional breakdown whenever he's not on top of things, but he'll usually get it in the end. A lot of this stems from him being the eldest triplet (even if only by three seconds), which has made him the self-appointed leader of himself and his brothers. He likes to make the plans and schedules (down to the minute), likes studying and reading so he knows everything about anything, and seems particularly fond of giving advice and help, even when it's not necessarily wanted. This, at first, made him rather rigid and prone to said freakouts whenever control slipped out, though he loosened up and refined his skills over the course of the series.

Besides being incredibly book smart, Huey is also heart smart, even if sometimes less than he thinks he is. He is all about the concept of love; sometimes this is romantic, like the times he's played matchmaker, but often this is also platonic. He cares a lot, and when the chips are down you can count on Huey Duck to fight for you. He'll do anything for his brothers especially, since each other is about all they had for the longest time. Huey loves family, friendships and just loves being loved. Some of this could be argued as pushback, mind. Because he so rigidly caretakes his brothers and his friends, often he's seen as annoying or even stodgy. This can make him feel unwanted but usually he'll just double down into it harder. In this like in everything else Huey's learning balance, and he's at least somewhat better than he was earlier in the series. After all he's just a kid, and still learning himself and how the world works.

If nothing else though, Huey has at least managed his temper. You know how Donald Duck is famous for his flights of rage? In the triplets that's Huey. He had a little ball of anger inside him that he struggled with for the longest time, until finally learning how to manage it and accept that the "Duke of Making a Mess" (as termed by himself in one such tantrum) is as much a part of himself as anything else. While his temper could make him unpredictable, he's working to use it for better things, like protecting those he loves.

Overall Huey is intelligent, caring, temperamental, and adventurous, perfect for sharing a family with the likes of Scrooge McDuck.

Samples
RP Sample: VR TDM

Victory Road Sample: Huey walked through the halls of the Pewter Museum of Science, looking up at the displays of Pokemon's prehistory. This was quickly becoming one of his favorite places to come, to nobody's surprise (and Louie's very sibling-y teasing, "Once a nerd, always a nerd.") He could spend hours here, especially with how infrequently he was in the neighborhood in the first place.

He stopped in front of one of the largest displays, the fossil of an Aerodactyl frozen in time, wings spread and mouth agape as if it were a breath away from pouncing on breakfast. Huey removed his PokeGear from his pocket and took a few pictures, walking around the display so he got multiple angles. Then he switched it out for a notebook, scribbling down a couple different notes.

Aerodactyl. One of many different fossil Pokemon preserved here. Unknown to modern eyes, except... Except that was false! Louie had told him of some recent happenings where they all ran across assorted prehistoric Pokemon, including ones catalogued here. Now they were just- out there, deep within the Sevii Islands. It was dangerous, something he wasn't surprised about just looking at the teeth on the Aerodactyl before him, but it was possible. And who knew what else was down there? What other species of Pokemon had been lost before, and were only waiting to be found...

Huey paused, looking down at his notes. One must know the past to prepare for the future. And was there truly anything bad about knowing so much? Knowing too much? He snorted softly, well aware what someone like Bradford Buzzard might say about that. That too much knowledge was dangerous, that one should only know what they needed to know, lest they get any ideas of toeing the line, of attracting trouble and chaos.

He smirked, closing his notebook with a definitive snap. Yeah, right. There was no such thing as too much knowledge, and all Bradford's decree had gotten him was a sound and humiliating defeat by Huey and his family. He looked up at the Aerodactyl fossil and grinned, eagerly moving on to the next one. Better gather up what research he could now, all the better to give him something to go off of for any future trips.
