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: Ochako Uraraka Series: My Hero Academia Timeline: Chapter 72 Canon Resource Links:here
Personality: Ochako is a bright and bubbly girl who, as her name suggests, is quite the chatterbox and energetic presence. She’s friendly and upbeat, always looking on the bright side of things. She’s easily excited, getting really pumped up when her friends do cool things or congratulating them. She enjoys lively situations and being part of them - and hates to bring them down. She’s really not one to burden others with her problems, trying to usually keep her worries to herself. She does her best to hide her tears and worries, never complaining even when she’s frustrated or sad - which is pretty impressive, considering she’s usually very open with her emotions and easy to read, whether it’s embarrassment, competitiveness or relief.
Despite her apparently soft and bubbly personality, she has a fierce determination to do her best so she can succeed and support others, especially her family. As events occur in the hero course and its impressed on her just how dangerous it can be and how much further she has to go, she really focuses on self-improvement and how she can use her own strength, not just relying on others. This really comes to the fore during the school festival, after seeing how Iida chose to compete against their mutual close friend Izuku because he looks up to him, rather than automatically team up with him - and she feels ashamed that she automatically teamed up with him for those exact reasons. In the one-on-one fights, she decides to rely on her own strategy rather than Izuku’s, wanting to try growing her own strength. After the festival, for the job trials she chooses a combat oriented hero to intern under, wanting to improve her strength so that she could protect herself in dangerous situations instead of having to rely on others, as well as increasing her options so she wasn’t just a support type with only one skill.
All of it is really motivated by how much she cares about others - she wants to be a support and someone they can rely on, and not a burden who has to rely on them. Her dream is to become a hero so that she can make enough money to give her parents the comfortable lifestyle they’ve never had. Friendly and cooperative, she’s most comfortable getting along with others and conversely is very easy to get along with, having a bright smile and welcoming personality - even when she might be feeling nervous or worried on the inside. Even as carefree and airy a she might seem, she actually has a lot of dreams and goals for the future, and a realistic eye towards achieving them.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Ochako is a fairly good student and she’s well trained physically as well, being part of the hero course and no slouch when it comes to athletics. She’s very upbeat and good at making the mood. She’s very determined and tactically minded. She can be a bit careless though, a little too free with her emotions in some situations where she should be more serious. She also tends to panic and worry when things really go bad, though not to the point she becomes useless. She also has a tendency to push herself a bit too hard and isn’t always aware of her own limits sometimes.

Samples First Person Sample: [Video] [The video opens to Ochako’s rather focused staring, eyebrows knit together - until she sees that it’s on and indeed recording, upon which she immediately brightens up]
H, Hi everyone! Everyone? I guess anyone could see this… anyway, hi! Um, hopefully I’m not the only one that’s a little confused about what’s going on? But if you are, don’t worry - you’ll be in good company! [A big smile and a little laugh after. She feels a bit silly trying to comfort people who may or may not be listening, but if any of them are feeling the way she does… well, they probably need it.] I’m not sure about everything that’s going on, but at least everyone here has been really friendly - and, oh, oh! Look at this!
[There’s a pop and a flash of light, and suddenly she’s joined by a blue bird with fluffy white wings that flutters about before landing on her head. Ochako is all smiles and the video feed jiggles as she dances excitedly on the spot, only fear of dislodging the adorable birb fro her head keeping her from doing some fist pumps.]
Isn’t she adorable? I definitely have to think of a good name for her…
[While she considers that though, there’s one last thing bothering her…]
Also, does… anyone know what the deal with the music is? I mean, it’s pretty amazing, that’s it everywhere! But… it does seem like it might get a bit annoying after a while...
Third Person Sample: There was something very surreal about travelling Johto, going on adventures with her pokemon, fighting side-by-side. For one thing, she was pretty sure she had more spending money than she had back home, and it was starting to freak her out a little. But that aside, it was more a feeling of - or no, perhaps that was part of it. Everything was so nice here. Well sure, not everything, there were still villains like Team Rocket and very real dangers out in the wild, but over all, this was a really nice world to live in, even with the weird, omnipresent music. She was actually pretty happy and having fun most of the time.
But that was weird, wasn’t it? Ochako sighed as she thought about that while she was walking - unlike usual, she didn’t have any of her pokemon out while she walked, because she knew they’d just worry and fret over her if they saw her like this. It wasn’t their fault she was feeling down but… well, how could she not be homesick? Looking at it from the barest facts, she’d been spirited away from her friends and family, taken to a completely unknown world full of unknown creatures and told to fend for herself - without her Quirk even! It was kind of a nightmare scenario yet it felt more like a gentle, passing dream. It kind of worried her she was getting so used to it.
“Well, I can’t be the only one,” she reasoned, deciding to set aside her frowns and think of it more positively, more proactively. “I’m sure other people are doing their best to look for a way home as well! If we all work together…” Nodding firmly, she clenched a fist, before pumping it in the air with a shout. “Plus Ultra!”
Her rosy cheeks reddened a little more as she became self aware of how she was shouting things out loud like that in the middle of a forest by herself.
“Right, anyway, well - let’s get to the next town! I hear they even have a gym we can challenge!” she said as she dug her pokeballs out of her bag, bringing out her pokemon for some companionship on the road. “You guys ready? Let’s go!”
