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: Giovanni (Formerly known as Griffith) Cicchetto Series: Infinity Nikki Timeline: Post Chapter 8 Canon Resource Links: Link
Personality: Normally Giovanni comes off as a kind, but reserved character. He doesn't emote much (Probably in part because of the whole being kidnapped and mistreated for 15 years things), choosing to let his words do most of the leg work for getting people to do what he wants. While it was only a cover for more nefarious deeds, he did get enjoyment with selling Wishflight Paper to Florawish and Stoneville, and seeing their happy faces. This shows that despite everything else, there is some truth to the kind persona he puts on.
That being said, when he wants something, he will stop at nothing to get it. He put people in magical comas in order to keep his freedom, he stole a divine artifact to put a stop to the guy in charge of his kidnapping (The Wish Master), he isekai'd the protagonist and put her through sometimes deadly tests to see if she was strong enough to put a stop to the Wish Master.
When he's not wearing his kind persona, he acts less restrained. While he still doesn't physically emote much, his tone is more dynamic and he moves around more. He also tends to say crueler things. This, however, is as much of an act as his kind persona is. In truth, he wants to be a good person, he enjoys seeing people smile, but he's been through a lot, and no longer believes in hope and wishes (He wants to, but he can't). He's willing to do what he believes needs to be done in order to achieve his goals, even if its seen as cruel to others, because being kind didn't get him anywhere.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Rocket Starter: Gothita and Murkrow
[ Giovanni, clad in his Rocket Uniform is standing over a ledge, looking down upon a surprised Trainer. He smirks and takes his time, stepping on air, making his way to the ground below. His Gothita is in the shadows using Confusion to keep him in the air. ]
What do we have here? A lost Wooloo perhaps?
[ He laughs at the Trainer’s comeback, and finally steps on the ground. ]
Oh~? You think yourself more of a Lycanroc then? Prove it. Battle me.
[ He calls out his Murkrow, the Pokemon still is at a low level, but that’s okay. He’s a diversion anyway. He grins as the Trainer takes the bait and calls out their own Pokemon. An Emolga, an electric type. Not the best situation for him, but as long as his Murkrow can keep from getting knocked out immediately, he’ll be golden. As the, admittedly short, battle rages, his Gothita uses Confusion once again in order to stealthily remove the Trainer’s other PokeBalls from their belt. Giovanni smirks as his Murkrow is zapped out of the sky. He calls him back to his ball, and starts backing away. ]
Oh, you’re good~ I’ll leave you alone for now. Though…A word of advice. Be more aware of your surroundings in the future. Otherwise you might just lose something important to you.
[ He takes advantage of the Trainer’s confusion over his words to run off. He can hear the angry shouting a moment later, but it's too late. He’s got a head start, and doesn’t currently have the Trainer’s Pokemon with him anyway. He slows down after a few minutes and wanders around the Route until he’s certain he’s lost the Trainer. From there he makes his way to the predetermined spot he and his Gothita are supposed to meet up at. ]
That person really should’ve been more careful…
