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!

Spoilers for Part 5 of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Follow
Character Name: Leone Abbacchio Series: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Golden Wind Timeline: Episode 28 (his death) Canon Resource Links:Jojo's why
Personality:
Leone Abbacchio has the backstory of a 30 or 40 something year old action hero or mentor and boy does it show. Abbacchio is remarkably bitter and jaded for someone his age, seeing very little point to anything outside of a few select things. He calls himself "utterly hopeless" and a failure, he's perhaps the least friendly of Bucciarati's squad, and he very rarely seems to be happy or amused by much of anything. This is a drastic change from what we know of Abbacchio from a couple of years before the start of canon; he had joined the police force straight out of high school out of a desire to do good, only to be worn down into the weary young man he is now by the corruption in the city and death of his partner on the force, which was caused by Abbacchio himself giving into that corruption. Because of this, Abbacchio tends to be incredibly jealous of those who can face that same corruption, the same exhaustingly bleak reality that wore him down and stay determined and stick to their path regardless of how tough it becomes. He admits as much to the ghost of his dead partner after Abbacchio's own death, though he is assured that despite everything, he never truly lost his own drive.
And, perhaps, that is best demonstrated with his determination to complete almost any task given to him, without fail, provided it comes from a trusted higher up. For all that Abbacchio claims that his shortcomings will always lead to his failure, he will stop at nothing to fulfill his mission, even willing to cut off his own hand if it means he has a chance to do what he was asked. Part of this does stem from his complete and utter trust in Bruno Bucciarati, as Bucciarati is the man who found Abbacchio at his lowest and brought him into Passione and gave him a purpose. His loyalty to Bucciarati is so strong that even though he says he swore loyalty to Passione, not Bucciarati, he is the first of the group to join Bucciarati and Giorno on their quest to kill the boss. Bucciarati tells Abbacchio to do something, and Abbacchio will do it even if it costs him or another their life. Death barely stops him, though unlike some people he doesn't get to continue on as basically a zombie and just gets to leave them a clue with the last of his strength.
That's not to say that Abbacchio is totally humorless or anything. He doesn't mind humoring some of the wilder conversations the younger members of the team have, he admits to getting some of his knowledge from movies to the concern of everyone else, and he is not above pissing in a teakettle to haze or troll or whatever the purpose behind that particular action was if the target is someone he does not like. (Poor Giorno.) He's just aloof on a good day, an asshole on a bad day, and God help you if he thinks you are going to cause problems for Bucciarati. (Again, poor Giorno.)
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Breeder Starter: Sinistea Password: Atomic Fireball
Victory Road Sample: Abbacchio stares at the weird sentient teacup as it (she? He? How do you gender a fucking sentient teacup!?) floats around the fire he managed to get going, making a noise that might be chirping but could just as easily be chiming. Singing? Is it singing?
He hates that his first thought is "Giorno would probably know". Stupid know-it-all kid. (Hopefully he'll be okay.)
The teacup continues to dance around the fire, clearly having the time of its life even as it gets dangerously close to the flames and nearly "spills" over. Abbacchio reaches out and pulls it back by the handle, ignoring the protesting noises.
"I don't know what's going to happen if you spill," he mutters. "Try not to--hey!" He pulls his hand back when the teacup uses the purple…whatever to smack his hand away. "Watch it, you little shit." God, he misses Bucciarati. Or even Narancia or Mista, any of them would be better suited to mind this weird teacup-thing than he is.
But they're not here. He is, and even though this all sounds like so much bullshit Abbacchio can't just…let this weird teacup-thing die or whatever. It seems to be alive. That'd just feel wrong.
He just lets the teacup clink around his head for a minute before it gets bored and floats around to stare at him, the design on the cup looking Utterly Unamused. He just raises an eyebrow and stares back. A few seconds pass; the teacup seems to sigh before it goes back to dancing around, though at least it stays away from the fire this time. Again, Abbacchio just watches.
After a moment, he reaches out to grab it again, only this time by the lip and only just to get it to turn around to him. (He has never seen a teacup look so Done, it's honestly impressive.) "Do you have a name?"
"Sinistea!"
"That can't be your name, you've been chanting it this entire time."
"Sini!"
He's going to take that as a "no", then, which means it's probably on him to name it. Of course it is.
