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!

Character Name: Prompto Argentum Series: Final Fantasy XV Timeline: Chapter 13; the guys found Prompto and we've had the cute dorm scene from the end of Episode Prompto ("Ever by your side") but Noctis hasn't been sucked into the Crystal yet. Canon Resource Links:Wikia
Personality:
Prompto Argentum is extremely loyal to those he cares about and has unrivaled determination when it comes to reaching his goals. These traits are often hidden beneath his playful, jovial attitude as he does his best to make nice with potential new friends and ensure his current friends are smiling and laughing as much as possible.
He often uses jokes to mask his own insecurities and anxieties, but they can still be seen sometimes when he seeks reassurance or validation in hushed one-on-one talks with his best friend. He’ll face his fears without hesitation (but not without some whining) if it means his friends and he will succeed. Prompto will do whatever it takes to keep his friends safe and is always willing to lend a hand both in battle and at camp. He may not be a gourmet chef or wilderness expert, but he’s pretty eager to prove his usefulness to the group and he’s fairly handy with various types of technology and machinery.
He’s got a soft spot for animals and has been known to divert the group if it means helping an animal in distress. Prompto is a photography enthusiast and will also often ask to stop for snapshots at various locations and is willing to go the distance for the perfect shot. Photographs are his way of preserving happy times with good friends, something he holds on to tightly after growing up a lonely outcast.
The journey from overweight loner to best friends with Noctis, the Crown Prince, to sworn member of the Crownsguard hasn’t been easy for him. He worked hard to shape himself into someone who could belong; someone who deserves friends despite the secret he fears could rip them from him at any moment. He tries hiding from himself, keeping his worries bottled up inside and obscured by jokes and wide smiles, but eventually he is quite literally forced to come to terms with his past. Instead of letting it break him, Prompto, with the help of a kick in the pants from an enemy-turned-ally, takes the initial steps of accepting himself for exactly who he is regardless of where he came from.
Overall, Prompto is an excitable bundle of anxiety and nerves with a heart of gold. He values his friends’ happiness and well-being more than his own and will fight to both protect them and maintain his place among them.
Strengths
Friendly (even though he’s a little shy and uncertain sometimes).
Adaptable (though not without comment).
Unfailingly loyal to his friends.
Steadfast in his determination to be the best Prompto he can be, both for himself and for the sake of those he cares about.
Adores animals, which means he’ll take extremely good care of his Pokemon.
Weaknesses
Prone to self-doubt, due to a childhood of absent parents and knowledge of his origin as a clone of Verstael, the lead researcher for the Niflheim Empire, for the express purpose of becoming one of the Magitek soldiers.
Extremely anxious, due to teasing and bullying from peers in his youth.
Concerned about his weight and at times overly-sensitive to his looks, due to being an overweight kid who successfully lost weight but not without gaining stretch marks.
Pokémon Information
Affiliation: Trainer.
Starter: Eevee. Prompto is a genetically engineered clone and him having a starter Pokemon that is genetically unstable and able to become one of multiple possible evolutions would be beneficial for him, almost like emotional support. It would also be cute and kind of badass for him to start with a Pokemon that doesn’t only evolve in one way, similar to how Prompto was born for one thing yet managed to become something entirely different simply by adapting to his surroundings and being himself.
Before we make our final decision on your application, we would like a revised Victory Road sample for Prompto!
Each thread sample has to be at least 5 comments from you, although it looks like that thread was dropped by the other person. If you can give us a quick written sample with either brackets or prose, set in Victory Road, that would be fine!
You will have one week to complete these requests before the character is available again.
RE: REVISIONS Are these the revisions you're looking for (sorry, watching a Star Wars parody)
"Thanks for sticking by me, little one. Sorry I haven't thought of a name for you yet... it just hasn't come to me. I promise I'll give you one soon, though."
Prompto's been alternating between humming his favorite tunes and talking to his Eevee. It's been a few hours since they set out and the sweet little Pokemon has alternated between riding on his shoulders and walking alongside him, chirping her own responses to his various ramblings. He's pretty sure she's been 'singing' along with him sometimes, though every time he looked to her she'd immediately stop, unleash her cute kitten-like grin, and trill until he either scratched her ears or scooped her up.
The sun starts to set, staining the sky myriad shades of orange and violet, and Prompto warily eyes the trees lining their path. He remembers Iggy saying there are wild Pokemon, and though he's curious to see other creatures like his Eevee he's also worried that they won't be so friendly. His Eevee can sense his rising worry and brushes purposefully against his leg, trying to help Prompto focus less on the trees and more on her. She hasn't quite figured out how to get him to focus on other things just yet, but she figures she's a pretty good distraction for now.
Shaking his head, Prompto smiles down at his companion and scoops her up in his arms, nuzzling into her soft fir and letting out a shaky sigh.
"Sorry girl. Just ... nerves I guess. Hey, think you can help me find a good clearing to make camp in? Not that I know too much about that, but I've watched Gladio set it up enough I should be able to do something, right?"
Nervous blue eyes watch as the Eevee trots further ahead and bears a bit to the right, into a clearing that looks perfect for camping. He hoists his backpack up higher on his shoulders and heads to his Eevee when he notices a six-legged, one horned bug start scurrying towards his precious companion. Prompto bursts into a sprint, hoping to scare off the creepy-looking bug thing and keep it from hurting his Eevee.
"Hey! Leave her alone! G-get away, we don't wanna fight," his voice carries and seems to do the trick, since the bug turns from the Eevee to look at him before scuttling away as he gets to the clearing. He's gotta be imagining it, but the weird bug almost looked ... sad? Shuddering (he really doesn't like bugs), Prompto decides to think about that later as he sits down and looks around.
"You okay, girl? Sorry for the yelling, I just ... bugs freak me out. Now, let's set up a camp for tonight.
... Any chance you know anything about starting a fire without a fire spell?"
The tilt of his Eevee's head signals it may be a while before there's a fire, and Prompto steels himself for a lot of splinters.
