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: Hunk Series: Voltron: Legendary Defender Timeline: End of season 7 Canon Resource Links:1 | 2
Personality: In the first episode Allura mentions that the defining traits of the yellow lion are kindness and a big heart, and Hunk has both in spades. He's the one that convinces the team to go back and save the Balmera for no other reason than because saving people is the right thing to do. One of his key roles throughout the series is trying to make his teammates get along; part of his canon description on the Voltron website mentions that he hates it when there's a negative dynamic in his team and does what he can to smooth that over.
Season two may have been thin on Hunk development, but it's thick with Hunk's heart. We see more of Hunk's nurturing nature certainly as he accidentally bakes glass cookies for the team. They're later found useful for reflecting light that allows them to escape from the Galra, and Hunk's response is to smile and say he's just glad people are enjoying his cookies.
We also see a bit of his commanding nature. When he takes over Vrepit Sal's in Space Mall he doesn't hesitate, instantly wrenching control of the place from the mean-spirited owner. He's confident and knows what he's doing; once he's in his element there's no shaking him. Whether it's engineering or food related, Hunk has a center that grounds him and makes him unshakeable.
And that same nature makes him an amazing friend and teammate. There's nothing he wouldn't do for the sake of his friends, and his good heart gives him a sense of genuineness that makes him instantly likeable. He's big on asking questions, speaking his mind in a way that many can't get away with. He jokes with Keith about being Galra at a time when everyone else is walking around on egg shells about it, both because he likes Keith and is genuinely curious. He has no problem accepting Keith's Galra nature.
As the seasons develop, and especially into season seven, we see more of the core of who Hunk is. He's afraid, constantly afraid, but as Keith points out it's actually his fear that makes him strong. Despite being afraid he doesn't hesitate to leap into danger, or to take the heavy hits for his team. He accepts his fear and turns it into determination to keep the people he cares about safe. When the paladins return to earth and he discovers that his family was the only one that wasn't saved -- that his parents are in a work camp -- he puts himself at risk to get out to the work camp where they are. He isn't able to save them, but seeing them there gives him the determination he needs to put his all into the fight to rid the planet Earth of the Galra empire.
He's smarter than most people give him credit for, canonly on par with Allura and Shiro, and while he uses his intelligence in his engineering work and it certainly funnels into his adaptive abilities, he uses it more often with people. He can read them pretty easily and is good at fitting in with most groups because of this skill. He's not manipulative; he uses his ability with people to put them at ease. Ultimately, he just likes people. He wants to use his ability to make people, especially those close to him, happy.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer (Collector) Starter: Togedemaru Password: atomic fireball
Victory Road Sample: Hunk had a lot of reservations about this place. If Shiro hadn't been there to pick up him when he arrived, apparently he would've had to actually walk across basically the entire country to get here. Walk! He did not grow up fixing cars with his dad to have to walk everywhere the rest of his life, thank you very much.
And then there was the fighting. So much fighting! These adorable little creatures deserved a better life than having to fight each other for no good reason. He scritched his Togedemaru under the chin, grinning as she closed her eyes and leaned into his hand. A few of the Pokemon in their house helped him out in the kitchen now, or in the garage, or with any of his building experiments and he loved it. He just wished he could show his mom and dad.
That was the third thing. After fighting so hard to get his family back, here he was. He was glad he knew they were back at home, safe and sound from the Galra, but... he missed them. His niece and nephew had grown up so much in the time they'd been gone.
But at least this place was really pretty. Sometime Hunk might even hit the road and explore the area. Not to battle for Pokemon, but just to see the sights. Visit new parts of this weird world.
Just, you know. Not on foot. And with plenty of supplies. On a safe route. With readily available bathrooms. Seriously, where did people pee when they were flying on Pokemon for hours at a time?
And he had his team. They were all here together, surviving, just like they always have. Hunk was scared, but he knew if he stuck with his team they'd all be fine. They'd gotten out of worse scrapes before, right? Hey, at least nothing here was trying to kill them. What could happen?
