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: Ulaz Series: Voltron Legendary Defender Timeline: Near the end of "Shiro's Escape" Canon Resource Links: Voltron Wiki Ulaz History - my own, the wiki doesn't have anything.
Personality: For the most part, Ulaz comes across as a very serious figure. He's never seen with a smile on his face in the short time that he is seen. His position as essentially a rebel fighter has made him more aware of the hardship in the world and less affected by such frivolity. He did after all spend some time involved with Haggar's druids who were responsible for maiming Shiro and potentially other prisoners in the Galra Empire. He also speaks seriously of the Blade of Marmora and their mission, using this as the reasoning behind most things that he does.
The interesting dichotomy and more subversive side of his nature comes in where Shiro and Keith meet Kolivan, the leader of the Blade of Marmora. Almost immediately Kolivan tells them the decision to reveal the Blade of Marmora’s location was not an idea approved by the Blade of Marmora, solely being a decision on Ulaz’ part, leading Kolivan to call his fallen teammate a fool for having given them that information. Kolivan even continues to say Ulaz was always breaking orders and doing what he thought was best.
This relays several interesting characteristics about Ulaz.
He continually uses the Blade of Marmora as the reason for what he does to justify it to himself, however he continually puts them in jeopardy of being discovered by Zarkon, first by giving Shiro the Thaldycon base location and releasing him, which did lead to the Prorok Robeast finding the Thaldycon outpost by accident though it was not capable to realizing its discovery, and second by giving Voltron the location of the Blade of Marmora headquarters.
So while dedicated, he’s actually forcing the Blade of Marmora more out into the open which, when they teamed up with Voltron, did bring the shadowy organization into a more prominent view in front of the Empire.
I think there is also a side that he doesn’t agree with the method of hiding in the shadows and doing the work in secret. As an individual transplanted into Zarkon’s ranks - living and acting as a member of Zarkon's vast army, not hiding but in plain sight gathering information - he has a distinct perspective of the war. It’s possible that he felt the Blade of Marmora would be put to better use having more of an active role.
Whether or not this is the case, he is clearly unafraid of Kolivan and continually challenges his orders, as Kolivan said he had a habit of this. This shows that he thinks they are on a more equal level where he can push back, evidence seen in that both Kolivan and Ulaz seem to be older Galra as both are no longer the bright shade of purple most Galra are and having white hair but also they are both seen wearing suits with a shoulder guard, something no other member wears. He also has less reason to be afraid of Kolivan, clearly having been allowed to break rules multiple times with no or minimal consequences, so Ulaz was willing to keep pushing his luck.
There is a very faint sadistic side in Ulaz that seems to be in most Galra. This is not only seen in his fight with the younger paladins on the castle, but also in the Blade of Marmora itself. Cue the brutal Trials of Marmora, where the initiate endures increasing numbers of foes, having to defend themselves with the hopeful goal of activating their luxite blade, which presents a dagger inactivated. In fact, Kolivan tells the paladins the Trials of Marmora leads to one of two things: knowledge or death. Ulaz surely would have endured this to gain his status as a Blade and he may have participated in testing others.
Despite Ulaz’ serious, stark nature, there is also an indication that he still does understand what the war is being fought for. The exact reason he gave Shiro for why he was helping escape from the Galra was "you give hope", showing that he is aware "hope" is important in the war they are fighting. It seems to me that he has more faith in the legend of Voltron than others do, considering he partially picked to free Shiro because the Blue Lion had been located on Earth and he breaks many rules to give Shiro the best chance of using Voltron to help fight the war, saying because of Shiro they are closer than they have been before to winning the war. The fact that he felt it more important to kill himself by allowing a Robeast to eat him than allow Voltron to be destroyed spoke louder than anything he could have said.
