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.

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

Character Name: Mikasa Ackerman Series: Attack on Titan Timeline: 845, after her parents have died but before the fall of Wall Maria Canon Resource Links:wiki link
Personality: Throughout the series, Mikasa goes through a lot. These events have a massive impact on her and how she sees the world around her. Prior to the series, she's a sweet innocent child with loving parents. They're not well off and they live in isolation in the mountain woods, but they were happy and had each other.
... Which means they have to be brutally murdered right in front of her. Because this is a manga and good parents are not allowed.
Understandably, Mikasa takes this badly. While poor and isolated she'd never been exposed to danger. Her parents had always protected her and had the answers. The idea of them not being there had never occurred to her. She's paralyzed by shock at their deaths. Her mother told her to run but she doesn't know where to run to without them to guide her. So she remained rooted to the spot and is taken by the killers. Even then she remained still in their grasp, accepting her fate and not seeing a reason to struggle. After all even if she did manage to escape three grown men, then what? She doesn't know how to survive.
That's when Eren, fellow nine-year-old, swoops in. Stabs two of her captors and cutting her free. Mikasa can barely tell him about the third before he's grabbed and strangled.
Leaving Mikasa stood there. Dully watching as Eren struggles and yells. Telling her to grab his knife. Then suddenly, she has an epiphany. That the world is a harsh place, that there can't be life without death. Even her father had killed geese to feed her. That this was just another form of something killing to live on.
So with that thought, she plunges the knife through the man's back killing him instantly.
This only solves the immediate problem though. Because Mikasa is still a young girl who no longer has a home or anyone to rely on. She stands there lost and confused. So Eren bundles her up and takes her home with him. Giving her a scrap of warmth and hope in a world that seemed so cold and desolate just moments ago.
Mikasa never really recovers from this event. Later on around the age of 15 she starts to get better and open up more. But at her current canon point she's a constant mixture of numb and afraid. She's no longer able to emote like she'd done before. Even with Eren, his parents and Armin she struggles. Because now she knows how cruel the world can be she's on edge. She's overprotective of the people she's close to and doesn't want to let others in. Because the more people she has, the more she might lose.
That doesn't mean she's particularly nice to them though. Mikasa had always been a frank girl. Her parents encouraged her curiosity and to talk to them and were honest with her in turn. But with their deaths she's gotten blunter. Now if she thinks something is a bad idea, she'll say and list all the reasons why to discourage. Not necessarily to be mean but to try and protect them, it tends to make her look condescending even when it's mostly concern. (Though Eren doesn't really help here...)
So while she is still that sweet girl, it's buried deep under a thick wall of trauma and fear. That gets even thicker after her canon point when more bad things happen and she loses two of her four people. Just when she'd started getting used to having Eren and Armin and adjusting to her new life in the city.
