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: Squirrel Girl/Doreen Green
Series: Marvel 616
Timeline: Just after Unbeatable Squirrel Girl 36
Canon Resource Links: Here
Subsequently, she fought Dormammu in a teamup with Loki and then teamed up with Loki and Drax to rescue Nancy from being space-kidnapped. She then helped the Silver Surfer clear his name after con-artists pretended to be him and convinced multiple alien species who had previously all hated each other to put aside their differences. Later, she and Nancy were stuck in hypertime, living out most of a lifetime in a matter of a weekend. While they were able to return to normal time and regain their youth, the fix caused them to lose their memories of the weekend.

Yet another teamup with Kraven occurred, after Doreen invited him to go along with her and her friends to an Escape Room that turned out to be run by Mojo II. After Mojo II was defeated, Kraven was arrested because of all the crimes he had committed up to that point. Doreen and her friends, who had been spenfing a lot of time trying to reform Kraven, was arrested as well for attempting to assist him. While most of them were later acquitted, Kraven himself was not, and he escaped custody. Spider-Man caught him, but was convinced by Brain Drain to let him go

She teamed up with Ms. Marvel, Inferno, and America Chavez in order to fight an Inhuman being manipulated by Arcade, and then fought Arcade himself to rescue the Inhuman. In an unrelated adventure, she encountered a ghost with the power to silence the entire city. Once she convinced her to return everything to the status quo, she got the ghost a job as a night librarian.

Original Character Background: N/A

Personality: She's incredibly determined. This is one of the major factors to her unbeatability. She does not give up until she wins. Which isn't the same thing as stubborn. She can be stubborn at times, but not giving up doesn't mean not being willing to switch tactics. If punching isn't working, try talking.. If talking isn't working, try punching. If she needs help, she will absolutely go get help. What's key is that she won't stop until she's solved whatever problem she's been presented with.

Speaking of talking, unlike many superheroes, Doreen doesn't consider violence a solution to every problem. She will definitely use it when necessary, but in many cases she feels calm, reasonable discussion works just as well in stopping crimes as knocking someone out does. Many times, even better, as someone who is just knocked out might just go and commit more crimes once they regain consciousness, but someone she's talked to and helped see another path won't.

Doreen can be impulsive. She often charges into battle without thinking, and despite the fact that she likes to talk problems out it's not always her first impulse. She's charged into battle against several cosmic entities that she had no chance of physically beating, most notably Galactus, without any real plan besides "beat him up." Not only that, but when a problem occurs she's not always likely to remember that doors exist, and has broken down several windows and walls while going after crime.

When she actually bothers, however, she's actually fairly good at planning ahead and coming up with a way to deal with an enemy. She keeps a series of trading cards on her that give a rough idea of what a villain is going to be like, keeps her head, and figures out where to go from there. She's also very good at planning on the fly, which, given her tendency to leap before looking is a necessary skill. She's also not above bouncing ideas off of people.

She can occasionally be a bit naive. She has a small issue grasping that just because she's given someone a second chance, doesn't mean everyone else will. Additionally, she occasionally needs to be reminded that talking doesn't always work and that some people just want to watch the world burn.

Lack of some sort of stimulation, like internet access or crimefighting tends to drive Doreen nuts. She craves things to do, or at least vicariously living through people doing things when she can't, and as such is a little at loose ends when she's not allowed to do either. Basically, the girl has no chill whatsoever.
