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.
Helpful links!
Taken / Reserves Please do not app a character from either of these unless you reserved them!

Personality: Deuce is a serious and earnest young man, almost to a fault and wishes to be a model student in order to make up for his past as a middle school delinquent. Unfortunately he's not very bright, bad at studying and a bit dense. Despite that he still pushes himself to study when possible in order to achieve his dreams. He has a very strong will and once he sets his mind to something, he'll pursue it, no matter how many times he stumbles in the process. He's noted that it may take him a hundred times to understand something, but once he does, he never forgets.
Of course, the delinquent side of him hasn't entirely left. If his "bad boy switch" is pressed, he becomes hyper aggressive, willing to pummel other people into the ground. His language will also become more crass, with a lot of swearing and a hint of genuine sadism. People who have only seen his more earnest side might even wonder if he has a split personality. He doesn't. Both sides are the same person.
He can also be a bit competitive and hates backing down from a fight, even when it's misguided and he knows he'll lose, such as when he mistakenly believes that Malleus, the most powerful magician in school has challenged him to a duel. Deuce chooses to meet with him anyways, as otherwise he'd have to turn in his "man card." His attitude is improving on this front and he'll now at least make a token effort to hold back, but he still lashes out far too easily. Especially when people are being provoking towards him or his friends or belittle the hard work of others.
He has a strong desire to change who he is. As much as he tries to act like a model student though, Deuce has a long ways to go. Sometimes he feels intense guilt over his shortcomings and failures, though in recent chapters he's started to improve. Thanks to advice from his two of his senpai, he's come to realize that while he indeed isn't very bright, in some ways that is also a strength. He can't mentally multitask, but his singlemindedness allows him to focus in a way others can't, giving him a clarity of mind. It also gives him an incredible determination and keeps him from ever truly giving up.
For all his flaws though, Deuce is a good and honest young man who tries his best. He cares about his friends and respects hard work above all else.

Deuce has many worries right now. That woman who pushed him out the door was clearly not his Mom. Not by a long shot. Also he seemed to not have access to his magic anymore, which had resulted in a long panic attack, because he sure as hell didn't remember giving it away to Azul or being affected by some other form of Unique Magic. Of course, he also wasn't one to dwell on such things for overly long because he had an even bigger problem.
"Hey, I don't think it's a good idea to be lifting that… truck," Deuce sighed as he watched Machop lift up the tail end of a truck that was parked alongside the road.
"Machop!" the critter said proudly, flexing his free arm. Deuce still wasn't entirely sure what he was supposed to be doing with this little guy, other than apparently being responsible for him on some level. Not that he didn't mind responsibility, but he'd never even owned a dog, let alone a small, grey… whatever the hell this Machop thing was.
"I mean granted, it is kind of cool that you can lift that," Deuce tapped his chin, unable to stop himself from feeling a tiny bit of inappropriate pride. Then he caught himself and shook his head. "Wait no! Seriously, put that down!"
Machop frowned and then let the truck go, causing it come down with a thud and a little shake. Deuce cringed and looked around nervously, relieved that the owner didn't seem to be around yet. Sighing in relief, Deuce gave Machop what he hoped was a stern look.
"Listen, you can't just lift other people's things like that. It's going to cause trouble."
"Machop?" the pokemon tilted his head in confusion and Deuce scrubbed a hand through his hair.
"Alright, it's time to set down some ground rules…" Many, many ground rules.
