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: Tiny Tina
Series: Borderlands
Timeline: From the end of Commander Lilith DLC
Canon Resource Links: Here

Personality:

Tina is somewhat stunted in her emotional development, likely as a result of having to grow up on her own after she and her parents were sold to Hyperion for horrible experiments and she escaped. This reflects itself in her childlike way she behaves adopting various voices and playing games or hosting tea parties. This coping mechanism has been warped somewhat by the bloody and violent nature of Pandora so she barely bats an eyelash at gore, violence and adult content. What she really has a problem with is confronting her feelings of loss when it comes to loved ones. She doesn't talk about her parents though she went out of her way to get the Vault Hunters to bring her the man responsible for them being sold to Hyperion so she could torture them to death.

She also didn't deal well with the death of her friend and substitute father figure Roland. She was in complete denial of it going so far as to create an elaborate fantasy story structured around a table top roleplaying game so she could pretend he wasn't dead and ignore the fact that they were planning on holding a funeral for him. Eventually with the help of that game and the Vault Hunters she was able to face the truth and accept that while the people we love may be taken away from us, they'll always be a apart of us so long as we remember them.

She's decidedly capable at surviving apparently as she was able to not only find a home for herself in Tundra Express. Either she built it in a cave under a mountain or she stole it from the previous owner...likely by force but one thing is clear. Her ability to build dangerous explosives and other implements or torture has allowed her to live by herself despite the threat of Bandits, Hyperion Agents and the local wildlife all of which have no qualms about killing kids. She does tend to call upon her friends for help though perhaps recognizing that explosions can only get her so far. She like many of the residents of Pandora would rather call upon the mythical vault hunters to do things for her then do all the leg work herself. Mostly because it's fun to watch.
