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!
Starter Pokémon! A compiled list of the starter Pokémon to choose from offered in Victory Road!
Personality: Shadowmaru is, for the most part, friendly on the outside, to the point of being charming. He talks a good talk, puts on all manner of self-confidence and assurance. He puts forth the image of a mysterious, shadowy ninja. All easy smiles and smooth voiced words. He seems to enjoy putting people off their guard with a phrase or a quick few words.
He appears to have a good sense of humor, and is more than willing to cooperate with the others. He'll tease them, sass them, things like that, but all in good fun. He doesn't actually bear anyone any ill-will, he just has it in his nature to poke humor here and there at his comrades and friends. He definitely has a flair for the dramatic, choosing to reveal key facts in the most over-the-top description possible, or appear out of nowhere, posed for dramatic effect. Sometimes even going so far as to show off his "ninja skills" by throwing CDs like shuriken. For all his charming, self-assured exterior is mostly a mask, his confidence remains genuine, up until his confrontation with the alien agent.
He keeps mostly to himself, withholding discussing anything about himself in-depth. Questions are deflected, using that humor or wit, and he even prefers to go on missions by himself. As far as to spend the majority of his time working alone, only teaming up with Duke once or twice.
Since he's really only been alive for a year and a half, in canon, his death notwithstanding, there is a lot of naivete and general childishness in him. He's prone to little hissy fits over being called a "dog", rather than a "wolf", as he perceives himself to be, for instance. His reactions are often dramatic and overblown, as well.
In all honesty, given the brief glimpses we see of his private thoughts, and his actions in his introduction episode, it's clear he blames himself for Kagerou's death. He even says as much after it happens, and never fully recovers from the loss of his friend. It's likely this is the reason he keeps his personal thoughts to himself, and just plain keeps to himself, overall. He never forgot Kagerou, even in what he thought was the end of his life, and his prototype remained the most important thing to him. They were, very possibly, unhealthily dependent on each other, thus making it exceptionally difficult for Shadowmaru to move on, and make any other deep connections with the other robots, or even human beings.

Victory Road Sample: Greetings to all! It would seem I've awoken to a predicament. You see... someone has seen fit to hand me a small, slimy creature.
Something hardly befitting of a mysterious ninja such as myself.
[He says this as he's standing in plain sight, arms folded, and ... well. Wearing bright purple. Because that's subtle. He gestures to the adorable Froakie sitting at his feet.]
Who is it fielding complaints in this location? I would have a serious conversation with them, if possible.
Ah, though I suppose, it would also be wise to see if there is anyone who recognizes my name among those watching this feed. I am Brave Police Independent Stealth Unit, Shadowmaru~!
[... yeah there's a flourish at the end of that last word there.]
