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.

Character Name: Katie “Pidge” Holt Series: Voltron Legendary Defender Timeline: end of Season 6 Canon Resource Links:Wiki Page
Personality: Being the Green Paladin of Voltron states that Pidge is intelligent and daring with an inquisitive nature. While this is definitely true, it’s a summary that leaves out quite a lot about her. Pidge is a genius-level force of nature. She lets nothing stand in the way of her goals and fights tooth and nail for what she wants. At least part of that is a change that was triggered when she heard the news of her family’s supposed demise. A fierce determination grew in her, fueled by her desire to find out the truth of what happened to her father and brother. That’s what took her to repeatedly break into the Galaxy Garrison and search through their files for information, and once she discovered the cover-up, she was furious. It turned her into a near unstoppable force, a big brain in a petite, angry body, and it seems to have almost completely eclipsed who she was before the incident. She has a quick temper and a low tolerance for stupidity, leading her to frequently reach out and hit whoever has offended her (read: Lance). Perhaps because of the garrison’s cover-up about the Kerberos mission, she has very little regard for authority figures and will not hesitate to snipe back when she wants to, higher military rank or royalty be damned. Respect is something to be earned from her, and until then she’ll simply do what she wants/feels is right.
In order to return to the Garrison, Katie used the nickname Pidge that her brother gave her as a basis for her new identity. And after that, there was simply no going back. She chose to embrace this new identity for as long as necessary and kept her secret extremely close to the chest. After months of being called by her new name and going by “he/him” pronouns, gender roles have mattered even less than they already did to her. That having been said, she does identify as a girl. She’s just not the type to care enough to attempt to fit into anyone’s expectations, or even to correct anyone unless it came up very specifically in conversation. Even after admitting to her team that she’s actually a girl she did not go back to being called Katie or wearing dresses as she once did (the latter could simply be because of a lack of wardrobe, but it’s not like she can’t ask if Allura had anything she could borrow - and yet she doesn’t). She’s almost never exhibited any sort of “lady-like” behavior, which made it somewhat difficult for some of her teammates to wrap their heads around the truth when she revealed it. With her shorter hair, skinny build, and small chest, she’s about as androgynous-looking as a person can get and she simply doesn’t care what people think of her anymore.
It should go without saying that Pidge is absolutely brilliant. While no one has ever outright stated that she's a genius, the fact is pretty clear to everyone around her. Right from the beginning it’s shown that she’s able to build machinery more complex than their military has, and she is constantly experimenting with both Altean and Galra technologies whenever she gets the chance. Her knowledge of technology has grown exponentially since joining Team Voltron, to the point that she’s made numerous modifications to the castle’s pods and to the Green Lion that she pilots, figured out how to download computer information through Shiro’s prosthetic Galra tech arm into her computer, written code to translate the Galra language to their common tongue when hacking into their systems, and much more. She was quickly established as the team’s Tech Whiz; a title that she wears proudly. Of course no great gift is without its burdens: her own brilliant mind tends to pull up every possible outcome of a situation, good and especially bad, and it can send her into a downward spiral of worry and overthinking. These moments usually need intervention from an outside source before she’ll stop, whether it’s in the form of a simple interruption or proper reassurance.
Her genius is possibly drowned out into the background by her temper and the deadpan sarcasm that she tends to speak in (especially when dealing with Lance). She can be a complete troll when she wants to be, playfully teasing the others at the best of times (jabbing at Hunk about “his new giiiiiiiirlfriend~!”, for instance) and being painfully blunt and rude at the worst (point blank telling Allura that she isn’t anyone’s princess anymore). It seems to stem from the fact that Pidge is not only fully confident in herself and her abilities, but 4 times out of 5 she simply doesn’t care what other people think of her. This makes it difficult for her to make lasting friendships, as well as her tendency to play things extremely close to the chest when she feels there's a need to for it, as she was with her true identity and gender while she was infiltrating the garrison. Tech and machines and robots are, for Pidge, easy to connect with and talk to. Other living, breathing people? Not so much. But once a bond is forged, it’s just about impossible to break.
Despite her anger, her sarcasm, and her tendency toward secretiveness, Pidge is a deeply loyal friend and ally. She has a bit of a sensitive spot when it comes to the people who are near and dear to her, which often causes her to lash out more in anger than in hurt. And after the incident of the castle being taken over, Pidge has come to the understanding that she does think of Team Voltron as an extended family and will do whatever is necessary to preserve that bond.

Victory Road Sample: [Dealing with people face to face is hard, even if Pidge is doing it over the PokéGear. She has no idea if anyone from her team is here, after all, and she’s hesitant to be sending a general call like this out in case someone here is associated with the Galra or with Lotor. Still, she needs to know if anyone from her team is out there. It’s worth it.
Plus… she kind of needs a bit of help. Which is pretty clear as soon as the video starts running.
There’s some kind of owl creature nestled into the fluffy tangles of her hair. It looks quite comfortable up there, and it’s sort of half-asleep and clearly not trying to hurt her or anything. But Pidge just looks… completely baffled by the little thing.]
So I’ve just turned up here, and a lot of what’s going on around here is pretty unusual even by my standards, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out eventually. But if someone could just… tell me what the thing on my head is, that’d really help me get the ball rolling.
[It would also actually give her a ball to get rolling in the first place, but she won’t mention that for now.]
Um-- Anyway, that’s all. [An awkward, shy sort of smile.] Thanks.
