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!

Character Name: Joey Wheeler Series: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Timeline: Post Dark Side of Dimensions Canon Resource Links: Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki Article For Joey Wheeler Personality: Joey is an impulsive young man with a quick temper, but many of his more outright childish aspects have been reigned-in as he grew older. Instead these traits are funneled towards standing up for his friends or bringing attention to the elephant in any given room when noone else seems willing to do so. His fighting skill and indomitable spirit have helped him protect his friends in situations when the odds seemed insurmountable and, though a goofball through-and-through, he has a core harder than diamond. Many a villain has underestimated him and, whether through physical strength or through spiritual resolve, been made to regret it. Through his travels he's often come in contact with the supernatural or extra ordinary and, though he lacks the abilities and resources of many within these situations, he more than makes up for these shortcomings through an uncannily good luck. Whether dice, coins, machines, or cards he consistanntly defies the odds, and this has enabled him to come out on top in many situations that would otherwise have spelled his undoing.
Joey had a rough start of things in life, coming from a broken home and an uncaring father, and it led him to fall in with the wrong crowd. From joining gangs to petty bullying Joey spent years as a through-and-through delinquent, but was given a change to turn things around when he made friends with his classmate Yugi. Though their relationship began as an antagonistic one Yugi's selflessness and vulnerability showed Joey that he didn't need to put up shields around himself endlessly, and that there were other ways to work through your problems than by lashing out at the world.
Since giving up his delinquent ways Joey has become part of a close-knit group of friends, and this has seen tremendous improvements to his mental state and familial relationship. Though he was never shown to outright struggle in school Joey was never someone who would be considered to be of a studious nature or a likely candidate for becoming an honor student. Despite this, upon deciding that he wanted to truly immerse himself in the game of Duel Monsters he applied himself rigorously to the lessons taught to him by Yugi's grandfather. Within a matter of months his skills had grown to make him a match for champion duelists and professional player eliminators, allowing him to secure a position as the runner-up in what was then the world's largest Duel Monsters Tournament. These skills also allowed him to secure funds for his sister to undergo life-changing surgery, and helped to mend the rift between him and his mother as well as galvinizing in his mind that Duel Monsters was what he wanted to do for a living. He would only continue to grow in skill and in character as his friends engaged in ever-more dangerous and world-threatening events, learning more and more with every step the kind of man he wanted to become.

Victory Road Sample: [Joey snaps awake. This certainly doesn't looks like the room he went to sleep in but, then again, he has more experience with finding himself in weird situations than most people so who knows. Maybe Tristan is pulling a prank or something, or maybe the gang is in for another batch of save-the-world bingo. The appearance of a woman he's never met before popping her head into the room has him leaning towards the latter though, especially when she starts telling him to hurry up like he should've already known that.]
Da heck...
[He rolls himself out of the bed and looks around to see if he's left anything behind in the wake of his sleeping. All things looking as together as can be expected, he heads downstairs to talk to the woman.]
So, uh, where exactly is-
[Before he can finish his sentence the woman puts a bag into his hands and ushers him out the door, big smile on her face, and shuts the door behind him.]
Uh...
[Joey just stands there dumbfounded for a moment before snapping back to reality.]
Oh hey! Goodies!
[He digs through the bag, checking out the camping supplies and boxed lunch before finding the Pokegear.]
Awww yeah. We got snacks and a computer! Time to find out what the heck is going on here. Let's dive into dis sucka!
