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!

Character Name: Mei Misaki Series: Another Timeline: Post-Canon Canon Resource Links:Wiki
Personality: Mei is usually fairly quiet, only speaking when spoken to, or if she feels it's necessary to speak. While long, drawn out conversations are really not her forte, she's a good listener. Someone could ramble on and on and she'd sit through it. However, she doesn't like being questioned, and will say as much without hesitation if someone attempts to pry into her business. If she wants to tell you something, she will. When speaking to others, she either says very little, or remains somewhat cryptic. However, she will withhold information from someone to spare them pain if necessary. While not very social, Mei doesn't mind the company of others, so long as they aren't loud and boisterous. Honestly, it's not all that difficult to get along with her normally, so long as you're not constantly questioning her or refuse to give her some space.
She spends most of her time lost in thought, whether it be some recent happening, or dwelling on the past. Her sister's death being one of the first and foremost things in her mind. As such, she generally has this melancholic, serious mood going on. For someone so young, she has some pretty deep views on death, and other usually less than pleasant subjects. Seeing her smile is fairly rare. If you manage to get close enough to her though, she might make the occasional joke. She comes across as calm most of the time, as if nothing really reaches her, but there are breakthroughs, especially if she has friends with her.
Mei's even shown to be a bit childish at times, pronouncing names syllable by syllable, or sort of freaking out when a small octopus latches onto her arm at the beach. Mostly little things, but they do pop up from time to time. She also has a somewhat bad habit of frightening people, although she doesn't mean it. She's just so quiet, you never know she's there until she speaks up or otherwise makes her appearance known.
Mei's past is something she's not very fond of discussing. She and her twin sister Misaki were born to her mother, however, when her aunt miscarried and her own family was going through financial trouble, she was given to her aunt to raise as her own child. Even though she was raised by her aunt as if she was the woman's own child, the two remained practically strangers to each other. Mei was forbidden from seeing her real mother and sister, however, she started meeting her sister in secret. The two were great friends in the few years they had together, but the calamity of 3-3 took Misaki away from her, something she somewhat blames herself for, thinking there must have been something she could have done.
Her thoughts on the calamity of class 3-3 really didn't amount to much until her sister died. Even then, she didn't want to believe it, but there was no other explanation. It wasn't until after she'd befriended Kouichi that she did her best to find a way to stop it, and she did what she had to do in order to bring an end to it. She would even take a life if it would mean stopping the cycle of gruesome deaths. In a way, she found finding a way to stop the calamity as a way to redeem herself for failing Misaki.
Strengths/Weaknesses: + Sketching. Mei's a fairly talented young artist, and has an eye for detail. + The color of death. In canon, Mei is capable of seeing an otherwordly color, an aura surrounding the dead and dying through her glass eye. I'm assuming this will not work in Victory Road. + While a bit dark and dreary at times, Mei is relatively friendly when not preoccupied with everyone around her dying. She'll even crack the occasional joke! + She's seen enough death and frightening things that she's not easily frightened. +/- Mei is usually fairly quiet. This can be seen as both a strength and weakness. While she's friendly enough, she prefers to keep to herself and isn't very outspoken. - She's terrible at cooking. The extent of her cooking skills are limited to instant ramen and microwaved meals. - Due to her eyepatch and somewhat secretive demeanor, Mei can come across as a bit creepy. - She isn't exactly full of sunshine and rainbows. If you've seen what she has, you'd understand. - Lack of survival skills. Without a guiding hand, she's not likely to do well on her own in the wild.

[The feed is turned on to reveal the face of a very pale looking girl with an eyepatch. She looks...a bit confused, but that's probably normal. She glances away from the device for a moment, as if making sure no one's following her before finally speaking.]
...that wasn't my mother. I'm not sure what this place is, but I'm hoping there's someone who does. [There does seem to be a network of sorts, so she's assuming she's not just talking to some useless machine.]
...I hate phones.
[She grumbles quietly to herself for a moment.]
There was some odd creature following me too. Like some sort of cartoonish ghost. [She holds up a very well-done sketch of what's clearly a Shuppet.]
I would appreciate it if someone could fill me in. Thank you.
Third Person Sample:
After 'escaping' the house she'd arrived in with a completely strange woman claiming to be her mother, Mei was slightly relieved to be free, but incredibly confused and a bit frightened. Not to the point that she feared for her life, but how often did you wake up in an unfamiliar place with someone claiming to be your mother? She was pretty sure she hadn't been abducted. If she was, why would her captor let her outside?
And there was that odd ghost-like creature that had been hovering over the bed she'd woken up in. It had frightened her half to death and had followed her around the room until she ran out and closed the door, but it hadn't followed her out of the house. Or so a look around her told her. There'd been some sort of commotion towards the center of town. Maybe it'd gone that way.
While the image of her ghostly awakener was still fresh in her mind, Mei went to work on sketching the creature as she remembered it. About half an hour later, she finished and looked over her work, blowing off some dust from her eraser. She felt slightly calmer, propping the book up against the tree and opening the bag that'd been practically shoved into her arms on her way out the door. Maybe she'd find some answers in there. Or not. Anyway, it was better than sitting around and doing nothing.
"...what?"
A slightly dumbstruck look crossed Mei's face as she began to rummage through the items in the bag. Clothes? Soap? Travel supplies? She was beginning to believe she was very much supposed to be outside. She'd thought getting out was too easy. After seeing the bottles labeled as potions and the odd looking balls, she closed the bag with a sigh, turning to the Pokégear. While it seemed too much like a phone for her comfort, Mei didn't see any other choice besides interacting with other people in this town. If one person was clearly insane, she thought there might be others equally as deluded. At least if she used this device, she had distance on her side. Only one way to find out if there was anyone who could help. She turned the 'gear on.
