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: Fitzroy Maplecourt
Series: The Adventure Zone: Graduation
Timeline: Post episode 20
Canon Resource Links: Here

Personality: Fitzroy is one of those strange types of people that at first glance seems to be a posh and swanky stuck up rich type. If you ignore the fact he's six foot four and built like a truck. It's funny in a way because when Fitzroy opens his mouth he sounds like your typical whiny and entitled spoiled brat that deserves nothing but the best, insisting that he's a knight (in absentia) of a kingdom that seems to be a Nigerian prince scam in a fantasy setting. An absolute brain dead dolt that is intensely selfish and cares about no one other than himself and what can immediately benefit himself.

Which, in a way, is quite true. But this is just how he thinks he needs to act, coming from a background that is far plainer than that to where he needed to lie and put on pretenses at Clyde Nite's Night Knight School to not seem to be out of place. He even went so far as to wear a pair of glasses (with no lenses) to make himself seem more intelligent. This man is a barbarian and sorcerer mix which means he's not necessarily stupid but he's also far more made towards physical prowess and wisdom than actual intelligence. He can be a rather effective leader and tactician when he needs to be, but it still comes mixed in with absolutely stupid commentary around it. Or needing to be tempered by the situation or someone around him.

He also can pretend all he wants that no one means anything to him, but in reality he truly cares about those around him, even if he would never outright admit it. The other Thundermen (Master Firbolg and Argo) are the closest things he has and has had as friends and thus will make fun of them and poke at them but if anyone else does, then all hell breaks loose. This is also particularly seen in a hilarious light when he's taught how to manifest his magic into a celestial magical construct crab named Snippers that he hates and tries to leave behind at first, when a few episodes later he's legitimately calling him "his sweet boy" and would always have the tiny crab around.

Truly he's a man of ridiculous contradictions, which would anyone else who has their magic coming from the literal embodiment of Chaos not be much the same?
