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.

Starter Pokémon! A compiled list of the starter Pokémon to choose from offered in Victory Road!
Zuke's general demeanor is to be self-possessed, polite, and rational. All of which is a stark contrast to his partner, Mayday. So Zuke's attitude is often gentle and soft spoken, trying to be sensible rather than walk into something hot-headed. This makes him very easy to talk to. He's a good guy who would ride or die for his loved ones.. You can always expect him to come up with logic and reason to try to worm out of problems. Water off his back. He is the sea, the ocean waves. Zuke being a friend is being a comforting presence: let's go for burgers and chill.
His fuse is so long that it's hard to agitate him to the point he even raises his voice at you. Unless if you obviously hurt people he loves or others in general.
Zuke is a graduate and holds a Masters of Fine Arts and Music because he's very passionate about the art world as well as he is very much skilled. He enjoys working with his hands and playing music while harboring a true fascination with old technology and traditional instruments. Skill wise, he's very good at machines, computers and even welding. There is a real passion for playing the drums, ever since he was a child and had an old traditional beat drum. He doesn't even want the fame or money, he just wants to do what he loves best. Expanding his mind, enjoying soothing activities, and learning new things is always a plus for him; wanna build this jigsaw puzzle with him that looks like the stars and do some meditating? He digs quiet leisure fun, making him rather introverted in the long run. But what you see is what you get, for the most part...
The downside to being that calm and collected has a lot of drawbacks when it comes to his personal life. His view on life is incredibly passive, and he won't raise a stink unless if he has evidence to believe he should bring the spotlight to himself. This makes him really shrink to the background often and doesn't take being thrown on to the spot very well. He would clam up and stutter when that happens. While he's better about this now than in his college years, he could tend to be walked over by people in situations as he used to let his ex-girlfriend do this to him until it bubbled over (or in this case, literally set him on fire). In general, he's cool with the louder people speaking up as he supports them. But of course, people who say nothing and let things happen tend to bottle things up. That goes for most trauma and frustrations. Zuke dislikes confrontations and arguments, and will try to slink out of drama and trouble with silence and calm rationale. If there is an issue that isn't resolved and doesn't get better over time, Zuke holds it personally and could hide away from it. This was evident in his long feud with his older rapper brother, DK West. The torment and resentment he got from him during his younger years frustrated himself into being passive and wanting to keep the peace. Until there wasn’t any, and his inward frustration could no longer take it. When that happens, mistakes happen. In which case he shockingly eventually disowned his brother and ran away no contact from his ex.
While at the end of the game, he came clean with some of his mistakes he made with this (comforted his ex and talked it out, and reconciled with his brother), this is a bad habit to break and be aware of it.

It was getting late, Zuke thought as he held the freshly made malasada in his maw. He wanted to check up on the secured Egg he held in his pack before deciding to find a place to crash for the night. As well as check his supplies. He turned to look at Terbangan, his Grookey partner, who was just finished gobbling up his treat. Zuke couldn't help but smile and shake his head at the guy, "You're going to get a stomachache there but I guess you'd think it was worth it, huh? We were lucky to get the last of the last fresh batch of the day. Come on then, let's head out."
The two would follow the trail out of town, passing a few dumpsters, when a crashing noise boomed at them. This unexpected detour of their evening sent Terbangan into high alert, "Keeeee!!". He screeched as he got his stick ready, aiming to defend his partner. "Easy, easy...look," Zuke's calm voice rang out as a purple bundle rolled out of the trash heap. It was a Toxel, Zuke silently concluded as the small Pokémon went into a sudden fit of tears.
The Toxel saw this as a threat, as it started to buzz a small dose of electricity. Terbangan was ready to attack, rallying his stick to strike. "Whoa, whoa! Cool it, cool it, little man." Zuke did NOT want a Pokémon battle to start when unprovoked. He remembered he still had his malasada, which only had the one bite out of due to business. Idea.
"Hey buddy, you hungry? Here, take it."
Zuke diplomatically tossed the pastry the Toxel's way, which it took immediately and began to shove in its face. Calmed down now, it made a small grumble of pleasure. "Ah, see? There we go. That's better, eh?"
A sigh of relief and a grunt of joy was in the air both at once.
Zuke's eyes then went to the tin bucket in the trash, another idea.
"Need a dinner and a show? Here, call it a peace jam," said Zuke as his Grookey friend caught on immediately. Jam session impromptu, easy peasy fun for all. Zuke jammed on the pail with his palm, Terbangan following with his drumming stick. As the beats filled the air, the Toxel raised its arms with glee.
