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.

Character Name: Asriel Dreemurr Series: Undertale Timeline: End of True Pacifist run Canon Resource Links:Spoilers for the game, but by now I'd hope you've at least heard of it.
Personality: Asriel is, at his core, a gentle and soft-hearted boy. He cries easily, as implied by Chara’s goading at his tears and his assertion that “big kids don’t cry”, echoing possible teasing from a reaction he commonly exhibits. Despite such goading, however, he is very devoted towards those he cares about, pushing aside any misgivings he might have in order to please those he loves. While they may not be reciprocated, he seems to be able to make deep attachments to others, and becomes anxious and afraid when they are threatened, finding it difficult to let go.
His time as the soulless Flowey turned him cold and literally unfeeling, adopting a “kill or be killed” mentality to the world through his experience on the surface; he could have either let Chara kill the humans, or take the blows they sent his way and died, and he picked the latter, which led to his death - still, this shows Asriel's compassion and desire to do what is right, even when it is difficult. Before Frisk arrived, during his life as Flowey, he was incredibly bored, having seen every single possibility in his tiny world. With Frisk’s arrival came unpredictability, giving him something to be interested in again, and he is clever and meticulous in his plans to keep that around. The power of determination that allows him to Reset is definitely something he abuses, showing the impulse control of a child along with the nigh-sociopathic boredom of living through life with no surprise no matter how he acts.
His short return to his goat form in the True Pacifist ending brought back his emotions for some time, but he clung desperately to his plans to keep Frisk around, so he would not lose the one person who made his life interesting again. He shows the creativity and enthusiasm of a young child, styling himself as an all-powerful "God of Hyperdeath" in the final battle. Frisk's mercy throughout that battle, however, was what allowed Asriel to see reason and reclaim his gentler side. In this current form, not only does determination give him the courage to face his problems, but it also gives him the courage to accept them. He knows his actions as Flowey are unforgivable, that Frisk is a one in a million person to forgive him. He knows very well the kind of pain he would bring would he reveal himself, only to turn back into Flowey and possibly ruin the lives of those he knows he loves but cannot feel love for. In this way, he shows himself to be caring to the point of self-sacrifice, but also aware of his faults and the possibility that, if allowed the chance, he could relapse into his Flowey ways. Though he acts out of fear of being alone and unloved, he does his best to take what he sees as his only happy ending with a sad smile, ushering Frisk away with a “Don’t you have anything better to do?” as if suggesting that, even after all the trouble he caused, he shouldn’t be thought of as anything but a memory, not worth your worry.
Overall, at the end of the True Pacifist run, Asriel is sad, but understands his fate. He is gentle and startlingly wise, knowing that the world can and will be cruel no matter what, but one should strive to "not kill, and not be killed". He appreciates kindness shown towards him, and does not expect anything in return, especially for all that he had done while not himself. Even so, he is still just a child, with the wishes and impulsiveness of one - to not be alone, to have friends, and to have fun.

Victory Road Sample: The lack of fur at night is troubling.
Sure, summer nights aren't known to be chilly, but Asriel hasn't yet figured out how to sleep while keeping his body at a comfortable temperature. He'd fallen asleep just laying out on top of his sleeping bag, Gracie the Flabebe nestling in his strange white hair (a place she had grown accustomed to being), and woken up in the middle of the night with chattering teeth and a worried Fairy Pokemon flitting about him. Okay, fine, so he just needed to get into the sleeping bag, maybe put on that spare shirt that weird lady gave him and become a burrito, right? Wrong, because it's not long before his whole body flares up with heat. It's early morning, but not yet dawn when Asriel kicks out of his sleeping bag, whining in frustration, tears budding at the corners of his eyes.
"AUGH! This is awful!" He peels off the extra shirt and balls it up with shaking hands, throwing it into the dirt. Fat lot of good his "Mom" had done for him, packing all this useless junk. A lump forms in his throat at the thought of his real Mom, who wouldn't have ever locked him out of the house or packed so little food for him. No, she would have seen how wrong it was for him to be a human (the sun hurts his eyes, his skin, smiles don't feel right on his face, there's no trickle of dust when he scrapes his knee just blood and scabbing and wrongness) and kept him inside until they figured out how to change him back to normal, or at least helped him adapt. He misses her in a rush, and curls up in a ball, forehead pressed against his knees.
That's when he feels Gracie in his hair again.
She probably alighted from him once he woke up, and judging by how softly she nestled up to him, how gentle the touch of her tiny hand against his scalp, almost petting him were she not so small and cooing her species' name for lack of comforting words...Asriel feels his heart swell, and he remembers something very important.
It's alright if things are strange to him right now. It's fine if he can't figure out how to keep himself comfortable. In this body...he had a soul. He had this sharp frustration and bitter loneliness and, yes, his warm and abundant love back - so even with all the trouble, it would be fine, right? Gracie would protect him, and - and he'd love Gracie, just like he loved her now.
Sniffling, Asriel reaches up, and the Flabebe alights to his hand, letting him bring her down to eye level. She looks very concerned, almost sad, and then confused when Asriel lets out a weak laugh and leans down to gently kiss the top of her head. After all, you gave kisses to the little things you loved, right? That's what his parents always did.
